SoB question

>>54605864
>Like, how good is life extension or anti-aging tech?
Live-indefinitely tech exists, but is prohibitively expensive, fiercely guarded by admech or totally heretical (eg. Halo Devices).
It might be a viable option for leaders or recognized heroes but certainly not for rank&file.

>>54605864
Well, I don't know, you ever hear Disney's Hellfire sung by a female and imagine a Sorroritas that's just between fuckable and outdated goods contemplating dangerous heretical relationships with someone?

>>54605937
...I like this premise....a lot.

Consider this character made.

>>54605864
>Possible for a person in 40k to live for centuries
Absolutely. Inquisitors, nobles, governors, and the like do it all the time. Available with or without eternally youthful looks.

>Likely for a large group to all live for centuries
Probably not. Shit's expensive and relatively hard to get. Have any other fluff to share that might make it more reasonable?

>>54605972
>have any other fluff to share

Well, they're kinda a bit heretical for SoB, though they don't know it. They're part of a small offshoot of the Argent Shroud that accompanied a contingent of Tech Priests and colonists on an archaeological mission to a dark distant world named Mundus Temebras on the fringes of the galaxy. Early probing strongly suggested the presence of a long dead ancient human colony. The tech priests are going in search of ancient tech.

That was a long time ago, and due to the inhospitable conditions of the world, the colonists were slightly modified to better handle the environment; nightvision, stronger bodies, resistance to radiation, etc. Thus they're all a bit abhuman. Thus by now all the sisters are abhuman.

But they don't really know that's a bad thing anymore because they've been isolated from the Imperium for so long. Their last Imperial transmission was 700 years ago.

Their doctrine has also been somewhat contaminated by that of the Tech Priests. They now believe The Machine God and the Emperor to be two expressions of the human god, and that his perfection can be found in both man and machine. Thus the ultimate way to worship him is by fusing man and machine harmoniously. Thus they're all at least a little cybernetic.

Rejuv can allow a person to live for a few hundred years.
Since almost every bumfuck noble (which must number in the millions on each hive world) can afford it, it's probably fairly available to Sororitas.
Whether they live long enough to need it is another question, and the really high end juvenat is probably too expensive, but a couple of centuries for a basic sister probably wouldn't be impossible.

>>54606252
>Whether they live long enough to need it is another question
And that there's the kicker. Most sister's don't even survive to normal life expectancy, what with their occupational hazards and all.

One thing to keep in mind is that a large number of SoB are Schola graduates. You want keep those around as long as possible, so I imagine that those who live long enough that rejuv becomes necessary will get access to it, just like Schola graduates in other Imperium institutions,

>>54605864
just say warp fuckery by the emperor keeps them young and fighting through their faith

>>54605864
There are several 100 year plus old sisters with bodies like a 25 year old.

>And that there's the kicker. Most sister's don't even survive to normal life expectancy, what with their occupational hazards and all.
To be honest the actual death rate of sisters of battle is never really established or hinted at. Obviously the ones involved in the big climactic battles we read about aren't gonna have great odds, but there are plenty of SoB out there guarding holy sites and escorting bishops and stuff, or just spending their time destroying shitty common cults.

Then of course there's the Hospitaller, Dialogous and Famulous who don't even go into combat (usually).

I don't see why they cannot live a few hundred years, juvenat treatment is a thing "The use of rejuvenating drugs, usually referred to as "rejuvenat" treatments, is commonplace amongst the middle and upper classes of all technologically advanced Imperial worlds. With regular use they can slow or even reverse human aging dramatically for centuries"

Sob are eclesiarchy elites so they almost certainly gain access to such things.

Does any anon have screencap of that greentext story of partialy crippled repentia being assigned as a stare provided wife equivalent to a veteran guardsman?

I think it was called mines into miracles

>>54611258
But repentia are basically lunatics overcome by suicidal urges.

I wonder how common it actually is for a Soros to turn Repentia....

>>54605864
Why wouldn't the Church let their Battle-Sisters have the advantage of the best rejuvenation tech they have lying around?

>>54611361
>But repentia are basically lunatics overcome by suicidal urges.
It was a sad story but had a heartwarming happy ending [\spoiler]

We don't have any hard numbers (like almost everything with the AdSor), but we know that the Sisters of the Valourous Heart have a significantly higher rate than other orders.

>>54615177

The original fluff for my order was that they worked closely with the grey knights hunting witches and rogue psykers prone to summoning daemons in their sector, and I painted them to match my GKs aka silver armor red robes. This was back in 4th when that wasbt a thung and GK and SoB could ally with each other exclusively. Then the 5th edition GK monstrosity happened and did away with allying. I sold all my GKs, and changed my fluff to make them an offshoot order from Argent Shroud, but seeing that picture always reminds me of back then.

I gotta ask, why are you even playing Sisters? That fluff is so completely divorced from what they are in canon it's ridiculous.

>>54621167
Because why the fuck not?

Brooding roaming loner suicidal sisters were way better than WAAAH I'M SAAAAD LETS CHARGE THE ENEMY GUNLINE IN RAGS suicidal sisters

>>54621986

If you're going to go with some kind of retard fluff like that, you should use Skitarii rules with your Sisters models.

Or just say that your Skitarii models have tits underneath their armour.

Because you're a fucking gay.

I may agree with the two anons above me, at least specifically with your sisters and the relation to the mechanicum, might as well make them mechanicum.
But honestly, who gives a fuck. These are your dudes/ladies, do what you want with them.
And make the Canonness lusty as all hell, tempted by the commissar next door.

Original nitpicking asshole here, for the first time since >>54621167. If you want robot abhuman women from the 42nd millennium, play robot abhuman women from the 42nd millennium, and don't let us tell you otherwise.

I'm just saying that you could swap in any Imperial faction for the SoB in that fluff, and it would make just as much sense. (Or more sense. Why was the Ecclesiarchy accompanying the AdMech on a dig?)

The hunt for the Sororitas' secret cache of vibrators?

>>54625874
Also should mention that SoB getting juvenat treatments on the regular while isolated from the Imperium to the point that they start accepting mutation, cyber-heresy, and deviation from the Imperial Creed would be the *least* canon-raping part of that fluff.

>>54625874
>Why was the Ecclesiarchy accompanying the AdMech on a dig?)
To shoehorn in the tech priests a friend gave me that I didn't want to expand into its own army

>>54625874
Really, they're not SoBs anymore. They just think they are. But their doctrine has diverged to the point that mainstream SoBs would burn them alive.

But the heresy was kind of the point.

Also
>they assume I play SoB and not just making stories with the random hand-me-down minis I have
Still trying to figure out where these Eldar go.
Maybe I'll make it a cult of human-fucking Eldar and see what kind of rile I can get outa the next thread.
