Why do so few Sororitas fall to chaos? It would be cool if we

Because they are the faction of paladins. Divine power and all.

Generally the fluff reason is that their faith is too pure. It's not the greed and insanity of much the Ecclessiarchy or the mental reprogramming of Marines but pure, true faith.

>>52981073

>It would be cool if we could get a new chaos faction of corrupted sororitas in 8td edition.

That would continue to just make them 'Marines lite', which is an issue they've struggled with as a faction.

>>52981117
But they have boobs. Make them plastic for loyal and chaos and they will sell like butter.

>>52981117
Sisters of Battle/Adeptus Sororitas should quite frankly be part of a rebooted Lost and Damned unit roster, being a fast attack choice with pistols and flamers, with the odd sister being a squad leader choice to drive cultists and mutants into a frenzy.
Maybe allow them to field certain vehicles as costumisation options for standard L&D vehicle choices which I presume will usually be from the Guard roster.

Why would you fold them in with the marines? That doesn't make any sense from a lore standpoint or a mechanical one.

>>52981346

It's a shame she had to fall to Slaanesh, of all the gods making SoBs more shamelessly fanservice.

A khorne SoB I can get behind. I can conceive of them getting more easily manipulated by the appeals of blood and honor than excess and pleasure.

Why does /tg/ have an autistic hatred for Sisters of Battle???

>>52981381
Extremely expensive models and being kind of redundant in the lore. That's the gist of it.

>>52981215
Don't fold them in completely.

But you could play up the warrior monk vs warrior nuns comparison more.
Make them into the echlesiarchy's attempt to have space marines and get around the no men under arms thing.

>>52981443
>Make them into the echlesiarchy's attempt to have space marines and get around the no men under arms thing.
That's already their deal

>>52981381
Whereas each faction has it's share of vocal retards, the SoB ones are the embodiment of the creepy magical realm guy. Also, what >>52981400 said.

Honestly, with St Celestine doing the sort of stuff that she can do right now I think the best way of differentiating them from the Space Marines would be to play more into the power of faith and miracles.

Sisters Hospitaler healing wounds with a touch of a hand or uttering prayers that drive back a nurgle plague wind with a warm breeze for example.

The whole 'Is it miracles or not' is an interesting fluff idea but it doesn't help the issue of trying to make them feel less like marines. Something a bit more old testament would help more imo.

>>52981381

They don't at least not all or even most of /tg/. As far as I can tell there's a love/hate relationship.

You can usually reduce any autistic hatred on 4chan to contrarianism. Some people love it, therefore others take it upon themselves to hate it.

Anon, their whole shtick is unwavering faith. They are the strong arm of the church and the Ordo Hereticus, are trained from early childhood to be 100% pure, act as moral guardians towards imperial priests and nobles, and are so faithful that they can will litteral miracles into existence.

Having corrupted Sororitas is like having scared Space Marines or a sane α+ unsanctionned psyker. It can happen, but it runs counter to the basic theme of the faction and should be used very scarcely. Which, knowing GW's current batch of authors, it won't.
So, no thanks.

I'm seeing a delicious pattern here.

>>52981073
That's the most boring things you could do with SoB. Hell, if you want chaos sisters, create an original female chaos cult or something. Not everything need to be "X but corrupted".
I kinda want chaos eldar though.

>>52981073
Because they're not sluts in cosplay like your pic suggests, they're brainwashed religious fundamentalists with a murder streak. And if you take how hard it is to convert the ones in our world (who, unlike the sisters, cannot simply show you clear proof their god exists or that their faith gives them crazy powers n shit) you'd know how much stubborn, belligerent stupidity does to make someone incorruptible to things they're taught to dislike.

>>52981457
This is always how I wanted them to treat SoB honestly. They're just too similar to marines at the moment and there's really no incentive to play them other than being a pervert, which is enough for most of us but not enough to warrant being their own entire faction. Go all out with the faith stuff. I liked how in Dawn of War Relic decided to give the Sisters their own unique Faith resource in addition to the others, even if it was kind of lazy and just allowed some cool special attacks.

>>52981457
So...acts of faith then?

Those seriously need work. Half of them are outright worthless.

>>52981476
Slaanesh is best chaos god?

>>52981476
That Slaaneshfags need to feel like special snowflakes because they're generally irrelevant and have nothing else going for them?

>>52981473

I think the trick to having a corrupting influence on any such a faction isn't necessarily to have them break their faith, but to mislead their fanaticism.

I don't think SoB's need a chaos faction, but I do think it's feasible for any unquestioningly dogmatic organization to get led down a rabbit hole.

If you take real religions as an example, usually all it takes is a charismatic leader to go "They don't have it completely right, but I spoke with the Emperor and -I- have it completely right."

>>52981476
They should just fuck and get it over with.

>>52981454
The SoB players seem to keep it mostly to themselves.
I rarely see a Sisterfag intervening in an unrelated discussion to wave his faction's epeen around (not that there's much to wave, anyways).
Meanwhile you always find Imperial/Chaos/Tau/Ork/Necron/Eldar fags to ruin any attempt at a reasonable discussion about 40k with HURR DURR X IS ENDGAME, Y SUCKS.

>>52981497

More 'Making them a bit more overt'. As right now a lot of them are stuff like 'You are faithfully angry and this MIGHT be divine judgement or just might be you being angry and therefore stronger'.

St Celestine can call down a faith-based orbital bombardment. I think the place for 'Is this real power or just their minds and fanaticism' has sorta passed.

>>52981509

>If you take real religions as an example, usually all it takes is a charismatic leader to go "They don't have it completely right, but I spoke with the Emperor and -I- have it completely right."

I believe we call that the Age of Apostasy. Chaos doesn't need to be behind everything, sometimes it can just be an asshole.

But yeah, the Age of Apostasy is a chunk of why I think Chaos Sisters would be redundant. It would be like having Horus Heresy 2: Electric Boogaloo. They've already had the story about faith being tested and being missled.

>>52981498
Hell yeah
>>52981505
What are you talking about? Slaanesh has the most potential power, 8th edition Daemons Army Book for WHFB specifically stated the other gods were scared of the power their younger sibling could potentially awaken if they weren't careful.
>>52981513
What?

>>52981509
A Chaos Primarch leading them astray could be cool. He has tons of authority on account of being made out of juices from Big E himself could be cool. They're still completely faithful to the Emperor but they've had a slightly different ideal of what he's meant to be drilled into them.

>>52981536

Never heard of that, also might have happened, all we know is that the grey knight managed to resist Slaanesh's entire realm but upon reaching Slaanesh himself faltered for just a second because Slaanesh is just too beautiful and beguiling, he fell in that moment. After that he very well might have exploded for all we know.
Or maybe we'll get Grey Knight Daemon Prince of Slaanesh in the new edition almost definitely not that'd be too cool

Honestly by most imperial standards, the SOB are remarkably decent. Not all orders are equally so but I imagine a lot of it comes from the fact they are not a purely military group.

The are Medics, Teachers, Diplomats and Scholars as well. It likely gives them a much more holistic view of how their actions affect the imperium. The guard are concerned with taking back a hive, the sisters need to consider what will happen after the battle as well.
