So, how big do you guys think a minor Orders Militant might typically be?
Presumably, they get quite a few of the female cadets from the Schola Progeniums, so I would assume they're typically larger than 1,000, especially since a Preceptory is stated as typically being around that number.
I ask, because I have my own homebrew order, and I'm trying to get a reasonable number in. I've been thinking about 3,000.

I don't think there's ever been a firm number given on how many Sororitas there are in the galaxy. I've generally assumed they're more numerous than Space Marines, though, since their recruitment process is relatively less excessive, and the Ecclesiarchy has *a lot* to protect.
>What's the deal on your order?
I appreciate your interest. I posted them in the homebrew faction thread earlier, I'll link them in order to avoid double-posting.

>>
>>50965312
So how do you think the different Orders approach systems of belief? Of course they follow the Imperial Cult, but are they orthodox or heterodox when compared to one another?
I like heterodoxy, as that makes the Orders a bit more unique.

I would think that the Sororitas would typically be fairly homogenous in their beliefs, since they're under the Ecclesiarchy *and* mostly trained by the Schola Progenium, where individually is generally frowned upon.
It seems more that any quirks they develop are more in terms of how they operate than their religious views.
Granted, they could possibly fit into the category of heterodox, but don't simply because the Sororitas hasn't gotten as much development as, say, Space Marines or Imperial Guard.

I get that. I think there's a good argument for that, too. I've always wanted to see more on systems of belief within the Imperium and how that works. Like said, I think heterodoxy offers neat narrative choices so that's why I lean toward it.

There's also the Ephrael Stern graphic novel, and I think that's all the material Sisters have.

Yes, I really enjoyed them.
Hammer and Anvil kinda bugged me because about a 1/3 of the book focused on the perspective of Tech Priests. It had a purpose and I understood it, but I would prefer the Sisters have more of a perspective in a Sisters-centric novel.
The artwork in the Ephrael Stern graphic novel ranges from great to a little odd, particularly the artist's very strange and obsessive dedication to making the Sisters' bob cuts to look more like cartoonish bowl cuts. Great story, though.

Can't remember all the numbers given but the smallest number of Sisters in an Order is 1000.
The Orders Major can have up to 20,000 Sisters, I think, but generally only have less then 10K active at any time.
Orders Minoris I think rarely grow passed the 3K mark but it's a lot more common to have them all work together at the one task rather then broken over dozens of theaters like the big ones.
Also, can't remember the name, but the smallest formal group of Sisters and what is considered a scouting party, is roughly a 1000pt force.

According to the 2E codex, major orders number between 3000 and 4000 sisters (including 500-750 seraphims each), peaking at 7000 occasionally. Each convent can accomodate 15000 sisters.
According to the 5E WD codex, minor orders vary in size, with some having no more than a few hundred sisters
According to the 6E codex, minor orders go from a hundred to a thousand sisters.
>>50965202
A lot. Aside from crusades and wars, they're supposed to protect churches, shrines and other sacred sites, as well as pilgrim vessels and black ships (you actually have a few minor orders dedicated to boarding and ship combat).Of course GW, in it's usual retardation, gave us at least one sister per shrine in some bit of fluff, meaning that there are millions of sisters on every plane, but I think we can ignore that last element in favor of reason.
And then you have the non-militant orders.
Recruitment-wise, they're supposed to get the most of the schola's female recruits. So that means that sororitas are fewer than the sum of navy and guard officers, arbites, adepts and assassin in the Imperium by a small margin.
>>50965419
I think they'd lean toward orthodoxy since they're a fairly centralized organization, but the ecclessiarchy is pretty chill about that in general, and considering how remote some outposts may be due to warpstorms (and insterstellar travel hazards in general), and some sisters like the Sabine infiltrating non-imperial cults, I can see some quirks develloping.

Reason I ask is that I'm writing a story arc for my Inquisitor and his retinue, and I'm thinking in the terms of a kind of 'professional romance'.
Neither of them would want a child due to the nature of their jobs and the fact it could be used against them, but in an Inquisitor's line of work I imagine it can get very lonely, and when the alternative is knife-eared alien babes or murdersex demons, you probably want the hot nurse first.

Love is human. Human emotions are not Heresy.
If anything SoB are masturbatory celebration of humanity. Its mind and body. Hence why Sisters armour has boobs and hips shaped into them.
There was no need to show tits, ass and hips in their armour. So the one of the in universe explanation for it is an over the top celebration of the human form.

They have previous. My Inquisitor lost both his legs during his early career and she was the one on-hand to graft the prosthetic legs on.
The plan is to have them meet back up during a major event that results in her being drafted into the retinue, and things will go from there.

This is pretty spot on and how I read much of the how and what of the Sororitas.
>>50970464
Yeah, I think that's a decent setup. You might want to craft it such that she's a separate entity from the team, an attachment as opposed to a direct member. That way both characters retain their narrative independence, that way you can write them working together while maintaining their agency. It'd also allow for some conflict to arise where there are things he wants done that may run contra to her scope or intent.

That or the inquisitor that's attached himself to them just spoils them rotten. Either way, i want someone to greentext fat sisters.

>>50970490
That is why I said one of the reasons.
But since female in 40k with Power armour do the same thing. I came to the conclusion that is a cultural thing. Bikini power armour is not a thing in 40k
Tits, hips and ass power armour are. If we reduce the female form to basic idea, those 3 things pop up from the male form. So enchancing those atributes in the armour makes sense in universe

GW needs to stop playing with numbers, all of that makes the Sisters sound like they're barely big enough to be a significant force on a single planet.
I know I need to not be an autist about fantasy, but, c'mon. What can a force of 100 to 7000 humans do? Fly around to other planets and shout at people over the Vox? "Hey! There better not be any heresy going on down there!!"
That's not enough numbers to have an affect on anything, the entirety of Adeptus Soritas including homebrews can fit inside your local Rec-center and have just enough ammo to burn a village before they run out, unable to do any of the shit that's within their sphere of galactic wide duties.
With those numbers there are fewer Soritas in the galaxy than there are Space Marines.

The comment I am sperging about literally says minor orders are from 100 - 1000 Soritas.
>Maximum Order size: 15000
>Non-enhanced human soldiers
>"Comparable fire-power to Space Marines"
>Space Marine Chapters (not including the ones that cheat) are 1000 strong, explicitly genetically enhanced super humans that are supposed to conquer worlds.
>Trying to cope with the implications about 40k's universe that must mean
>Bad logic turns the anon into Chaos Spawns

Someone actually posted them on the Writethread page on 1d4chan, but they gave them all different titles for some reason.
Collectively its meant to be known as the Cormyr Archive.

Company of Marines is 100, not 1000, and is supposed to be able to conquer a planet. A tactical marine's firepower is bolter + grenades, same as a Sister.

Would be funny if they initiate 40k End Times without confirming what happened to Abbess Sabrina after her ship was lost in the Warp and without doing anything about the unoccupied position of Sisters' leader. It's the oldest (only?) plotline the faction has, after all.

>In the centuries following the Age of Apostasy, Saint Dominica led the Adepta Sororitas as founder and overall patron. Her martyrdom at the hands of heretics on Frideswide's World left a great void in the organisation, which experienced a temporary crisis as no leader felt they were able to adequately follow in Dominica's footsteps.
>Eventually, Ecclesiarch Equitius XI intervened and ordered the leaders of each Order to elect one of their number to lead. After many weeks debate, the leaders agreed by majority that Sister Palmiro of the Order of the Holy Word was most suited to take up the rank of Abbess of the Adepta Sororitas. However, Sister Palmiro was an exceptionally humble woman and declined to lead, stating that it was her intention to depart on a pilgrimage to San Leor, and that she had no desire for rank and privilege.
>After much debate, it was agreed that Sister Palmiro should complete her pilgrimage, but that she would take up the rank of Abbess upon her return, and regard it as a welcome penance. Palmiro agreed to these terms, and after barely a century, the tradition of electing the candidate who least desired the rank of Abbess to the post became commonplace, that she should regard it not as a privilege but as a penance, and that she should untertake a pilgrimage to San Leor before taking up the position.
>This tradition was maintained for most of four millennia, until the election of Sister Sabrina of the Order of the Ermine Mantle. Unfortunately, Sabrina disappeared whilst on her pilgrimage and never returned to Terra. The last sighting of Sabrina and her entourage was on the ocean world of Habren IV, and though it is not known whether she fell prey to attack or some other misfortune, the Sisters of the Ermine Mantle have embarked upon at least a dozen missions to locate her.
>Until she is found or her fate determined, Ecclesiarchal law dictates that the post of Abbess of the Adepta Sororitas must remain vacant.

SOBs, in most cases, don't act as an independant organization.
Maybe an Inquisitor will requisition a minor order. Or some prioress decides to remove an heretic high-ranking official with a strike.
But for stuff like planetary invasions, you're looking at whole crusades, with contigents from several SoB orders, tons of frateris militia, with the associated arcoflagellants, crusaders and henchmen. And that's only the stufff that's directly under Ecclesiarchy control. Not a lot of people will refuse the call of "Imperator Io Vult"
The Imperial Guard regiment is also roughtly 1000 men strong, and it doesn't prevent the IG from taking planets.

I'm okay with this
>>
>>50972548
Considering the feats accomplished by mere civilians in 40k, there certainly was eugenics and genetic engineering programs put in place during the DAoT. Hard to explain savants, abhumans and people surviving lethal doses of radiations without nothing more serious than a few additional tentacles without it.
>>
>>50972642
My personal theory is that modern 40k humans are not our modern humans.
I mostly base this in an old lore inside the 3rd edition rulebook.
Basically said Golden men made the Iron men and Stone men.
When the iron men rebel against the Goldenmen, the stone men help them fight against the ironemen.
Once the war was over the goldenmen where almost extinct.
Why the goldenmen create the stone men? Well because in this old lore. The golden men could not into space. So the Stonemen where made.
It is said the that last goldenmen is the Emperor.
This would also explain why abhumans are a thing. Hand made humans for space colonisation that quickly evolve and adapt to their planet with little help of terraforming. Could also explain why chaos random mutation does not outright kill humans. Maybe the genetic modification for the Stone men helps counter the rapid chaos mutation.
TL:DR 40k humans where made to colonise the stars. They are not real earth humans

>Ephrael Stern

>Gear :
Bolt Pistol and Extreme Unction Blessed Blade (power blade, wounds demons on 4+, ignores invulnerable saves, -1 to enemy Ld in melee
Jump Pack, Purity Seals
>Special Rules:
Deamon Killer: You may reroll every to hit and to wound roll against daemons.
Every daemon within 6" of Stern rolls on 3D6 for daemonic instabity.
Keeper of Knowledge: Demons suffer -1A in melee with Stern?
Banished: Does not generate faith points, cannot join SoB units, cannot be included in an army with an inquisitor other than Silas Hand, armour save is invulnerable and works against psychic powers, fearless, cannot move, shoot or assault on a result of 1 on 1D6 at the beginning of each turn.
Henchman : Counts as a single HQ choice if taken with Silas Hand. Both remain independant characters.
>Inquisitor Silas Hand
166pts WS5 BS4 S3 T3 W3 I4 A3 Ld10 3+/4++ (Icon of the Just)
>Gear
Psycannon, Blessed Melee Weapon, Psychic Hood.
>Psychic Powers/Special Rules :
Scourge & Slayer of Demons (sorry if I mistranslated, I don't have the rules in english)

I would think they failed their only purpose and probably just move to the next battle (or die moving to the next battle).

Repentia keep fighting until they feel they've repented, or they die.
Pentient engines do not get to be forgiven. They have done things unimaginably vile. Their blood debt cannot be repaid except through martyrdom.

what? where is this from?

why? gyrojets have next to no recoil. whatever the stage-one charge has is compensated by the power armor.

Well the Inquisitor is useful?
But yah GW Pity fucks to SoB is annoying.

Sadly, template weapons like flamers don't roll to hit, so Precision Shot is useless here.

Quick question. Don't template weapons re rol to wound? Or they removed that at some point.
As in if you don't roll to hit the rules apply to wound?
>>
>>50972797
I thought the Gold Men were supposed to be the original humans from Earth. And then, due to all the genetic engineering that was done to the colonists sent out from Earth (the Stone Men), the Gold Men ended up dying out, leaving only their modified descendants in the Stone Men, and the constructs they made to serve them, the Iron Men (and we all know what happened to them).

Not sure if worst.
I would love to have Repenitas and Penitente immune to shooting but forces to charge.

That is what is says.

Based brother. Ukranian slave girl from a Russian company is a nice joke.

That's twin-linked template weapons. Reroll to wound and armor penetration for vehicles.
>>
>>50984131
I should say so, haha!

>>50984163
Doesn't that make preferred enemy useless on template weapons?
Sorry I'm drunk and lost with editions. 7th added odd changes that do not make sense to me some times.
>>
>>50984203
You still reroll ones for wounding with preferred enemy.
>>
>>50984067
True, but it does make sense. Strong, unfeeling men created by the emperor.
It sounds a lot like a feudal world retelling of it, and after 10 millennia they probably haven't got a solid grasp of history.

It does remind me of something.

>>50984308
I've noticed that the Imperial Fists seem to get a lot of stone similes applied to them in the HH literature.
In fact, I think Keeler actually calls Sigismund a stone man in Flight of the Eisenstein.
Wonder what they're getting at.

>>50984318
But for us it's the future. Also, I seriously doubt anyone left in the imperium other than the remaining primarchs or the emperor actually knows what happened.
>>50984324
That's sort of what I meant, I think the average imperial citizen would think of themselves as the stone men, a base tool for those above him, but in actuality they're the gold men, the pure essence of humanity the emperor wanted to preserve.
>>
>>50984336
I never got the multilasers meme. It's just a gun, and space marines like guns. Plus, you can only carry so many bolts, even if you are a space marine
>>
>>50984384
Lore wise Multilasers are an Impirial Navy and Impirial Guard thing. In reason universe, one power pack fits all so laser weapon for guard is normal and expected specially the Gatling gun equivalent of a las weapon.
As for marine? Beside lass cannons, no other lass weapon is present.
Now why the meme thank Goto, the fucker adds Multilasers to everything for some god fucking reason. Eldars? Multilasers. Landraiders that for some reason have Multilasers insets of last cannons or Hurracain Bolter for a better version in universe of a fucking Multilasers.
I'm surprise the guy haven't added Multilasers to nids.

As they belong to the church celibacy is mandatory, but chastity may depend on the order.
>>
>>50964505
Would be awesome to have a unit of pure close-combat sisters in full armour who just carry around giant chainswords or power claymores.
Like Repentias, but more tanky, maybe as an honour guard to a canoness.
>>
>>50987054
Why? This is not the Chrisitan church that had problems with inherited shit and bloodlines for money fights.
The celibacy and chastity was a political and economic thing, in case you forgot about it.
Bolter bitch gets preggo? Into the scholum the baby goes or random abortion during battle. One more soul to the call.

The whole imperium was created as a satire on organised religion and the sisters are the 40k version of nuns. As much as every fa/tg/uy may wish otherwise, signs point to celibacy being mandatory.

A couple of novels have noted this is not the case
SOME orders do take a vow, but not most of them
>>
>>50989028
I don't remember which book, but one of the Ciaphas Cain stories specifically confirmed that SoB can have relationships, they just usually don't because they're busy being nuns and also because most people find the zealotry offputting.

I'm guessing they made this decision because they finally begun to catch on that they can use formations and possibly even detachments to sell stuff. There really isn't a reason to not sell them as separate and I'm guessing they eventually will, but it'll cost more for all of them separately then in the bundle. Belisarius Cawl is supposed to be the size of a Carnifex.
>>50989173
If you know anything about the Catholic Church it's pretty easy to see the superficial similarities between it and the Ecclesiarchy. There is a good chance they do take vows of celibacy and chastity to be similar to nuns being married to God. The canon everything likes to point to is shaky ground since it's Ciaphas Cain, not exactly a series that treats 40k lore super seriously and tries to remain true to the last minute detail.
>>
>>50994744
Cain books are more lore friendly than some shit I've read in BL
It gives a human look into the nightmare that is 40k.
Then there is Goto. Fuck that guy.
>>
>>50994764
It's canon that I disagree with though. That's why it doesn't count, and therefore Sisters aren't ever allowed to have sex or get married. You can't prove otherwise.
>>
>>50995537
The fuck is that logic? I do not like it so it is not canon?
Again point me where any character is married. Married to the Emperor is not a valid response and you know it.
>>
Wait what is happening to the sisters?
>>
>>50996095
Nothing. We got 1 new model in the form of Vyridian that is only usefull for Retribution Squads with Heavy Bolters.
The living Saint and Twins, might be from the BT faction. But we do not know for sure.
That's it. Also IA is a thing, we now have 2 valid codex the 6e one and IA. The last one is a bit better.
>>
>>50996283
>The living Saint and Twins, might be from the BT faction. But we do not know for sure.
Most likely a general Imperial Lord of War. Seriously doubtful that Celestine would be limited to the Black Templars.

>That's why it doesn't count, and therefore Sisters aren't ever allowed to have sex or get married. You can't prove otherwise.

Having your own headcanon is ok anon, until you start trying to argue it as actual canon.

Wait, there's a difference between celibacy and chastity?
>>
>>51000119
Celibacy is the state of voluntarily being unmarried, sexually abstinent, or both, it USUALLY refers just a vow to avoid marriage and from there, sexual relations in wedlock (sex outside of wedlock is assumed as well, but not actually part of the vow, you're just expected to behave yourself)
Chastity actually refers specifically to sex out of wedlock, it's often used to refer to any and all sex, but technically speaking, you can be married, fuck your spouse all day long and still be chaste
>>
>>51000233
Seems pretty overcomplicated. Personally, I think religions have got it all wrong. I think God would like us to fuck all we want if it makes us happy.
>>
>>51001069
Fun thing with religions, you can interpret them almost in any way you like.
Chastisty means "you don't be a slaaneshi cultist driven by your pulsions" in some cases. In other instances, it's "no sex, no impure thoughts, no masturbation". Lot of variation depending on the period and the culture.
>>
>>51001069
>Seems pretty overcomplicated
Not really, Celibacy=no marriage (and the implication of no sex)
Chaste=no sex unless it's with your spouse
>I think God would like us to fuck all we want if it makes us happy.
>Be fruitful and multiply
It's actually a direct commandment from God in Christianity/Judaism, just y'know, get married first

Sory to break your bubble but there is no upper limit on Order size, as far as we know there might be Order with 200k Sisters on active duty.
