Sister Rosette Soulknyt Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Ok, not that i have with my own Sisters of Battle army. Im wondering if anyone does combine 2 or more Sororitas armies together in one army, to maybe give reason why they have two or More Cannoness models. It would like be fielding a Crusade army for Space Marines, where as you have several units from different Chapters representing your army. Any thoughts???

Just consider the 2nd canoness as a different heroine or other high-ranked sister. I don't have the codex with me at work, so I don't remember if the canoness is a 0-1 HQ, anyway.

Melissia Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 See C:WH-- There are many ranks of Canoness. The ranks should be as follows, from lowest authorized to lead a force to highest... Palatine, Canoness, (possibly Canoness Missionary, although it's unofficial), Canoness Preceptor, Canoness Commander, Canoness Superior Essentially though... Palatine = low ranking officer Canoness = mid-ranking officer Canoness Missionary/Preceptor/Commander/Superior = high ranking officer in charge of a mission/preceptory/commandery/order. Canoness Superior is the overall military and religious leader of an order, and is an exceptional heroine by anyone's standards-- she probably has had rejuvenat treatments to set her age back because she is truelly a celebrated heroine, possibly even on her way to being declared a living saint, and certainly someone who will be declared a saint posthumously. I generally don't represent the Canoness Superior on the battlefield because the rank has much akin with a Marine Chapter Master, and it just seems stupid to have them on the field to get killed. Canoness Preceptor leads a PReceptory, an organizational setup of around one thousand Sisters. THis is probably equivalent to a Marine company in strength in the fluff. Wether or not Orders are devided into Preceptories is unknown, but only the largest orders would be of course-- the six major orders and any minor order that's larger than 2000 (I put the largest minor orders at around five thousand myself, and think there are likely at least a dozen of them). Canoness Commander leads a Commandery, an organizational setup of around 200 Sisters. As before, it is not said if larger Orders are divided into Commanderies, but it seems likely given that they are a miltiary organization. Besides, Canoness Commander just sounds cool. Canoness Missionary leads a MIssion, an organizational setup of probably around 21 Sisters (basic deployement, HQ + 2 squads of 10 Battle Sisters), but it could basicly include any Sororitas Organization smaller than a Commandery. Palatine is a minor Heroine, and it is likely that a Canoness has a few Palatine inferiors that she is instructing and ordering around. Similarly, it is likely that there are also several Canonesses underneath a Canoness Preceptor or Canoness Superior, too. Also, Palatines may only lead Missions.
