Ecritter Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Not sure if here is the place, but where would one work on a chapter of the Adeptus Astra Telepathica? They are Adeptus ... so here might be the place after all, thoughts?

NightrawenII Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Can you explain it more clearly? Right now, I'm at lost what do you ask. :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/213927-adeptus-astra-telepathica/#findComment-2545814 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now, I'm at lost what do you ask. :wacko: I'm wondering if here is the right place to work on a reborn militant chapter of the Adeptus Astra Telepathica, and if not where would you suggest?

Nine_Breaker Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Well this would be the place for any DIY chapter... but unfortunately for you, your idea isn't exactly viable. The Adeptus Astra Telepathica does not have a Chamber Militant as the Ordos of the Inquisition do. If anything would be considered their military arm it would be the Black Ships which are utilized to round up the psykers which the Adeptus Astra Telepathica distributes around the Imperium.

Actually they did have, and could still have, a militant order called the Sisters of Silence. They are rumored to man, or woman, the Black Ships now. ***************** I actually have alot on my plate at the moment, so its really more a question of curiosity for the future.

Von Doom Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Sisters of Silence sound to me like a variant of Sisters of Battle. The Black Ships are involved with the Inquisition as well, right? I think therein lies your answer. The Inquisitor forums.

The Black Ships are involved with the Inquisition as well, right? I think therein lies your answer. The Inquisitor forums. The Sisters of Silence fought in the Heresy ... long before the Sisters of Battle and even before the founding of the Inquisition. They are not a part of the Inquisition but loyal serverts of the Emperor. "During the years of the Great Crusade, a cadre of Sisters were dispatched by the Emperor to aid the Death Guard in an attack on a Jorgall cylinder ship. Once there, they managed to wound a Jorgall mutant Psyker and capture it for transport to Terra. The Sisters of Silence participated in some of the major actions of the Horus Heresy, including the defense of the Imperial Palace. They were perhaps most successful during the assault on Prospero, where a force of Sisters were deployed to provide specialised support for the attacking Space Wolves Legion. Due to their Untouchable nature, the Sisters were proof against the psychic attacks of the defending Thousand Sons Legion and provided a stable bulwark for the assault to be anchored upon."

soddinnutter Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Not possible. The reason being the Adeptus Astra Telepathica is more akin to a phone network than a military organisation. Their soul reason for being is for rich and important people to bounce messages of off them. They are well guarded, hell yes. They are the glue that holds the Imperium together. Thats why they seldom leave their fortresses and have so many body guards. The Sisters of Silence are an appreciable fraction of the Imperiums female pariah population, but hiven how rare a half-way decent pariah is they are few in number. They exist simply to put a bolt through an Astropath's head if a deamon should try and crawl out of it. That and making sure the untrainable psykers on their way to being fed to the Emperor and the Astronomican behave.

Von Doom Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Pre-sisters? Even better. It should provide you with more opportunity to flesh them out fluffwise and conversionwise. As the B&C is a power armored only forum (i.e., no discussion on Imperial Guard or Xenos armies), I think they would fall better under the area of Sisters of Battle when making your army list. If you treat them as female 'guardsmen' then this may not be the venue. I am not sure how or if the psychic nature of these Silent Sisters could transfer with any current armies rules. It sounds like an untapped vein armywise. Can't wait to see where you take it.

Hrvat Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 What you could do is to make a military order devoted to protection of Astropath buildings, ships and choirs. They could have power armour akin to Sister of Battle and be divided into several chapters :yes: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/213927-adeptus-astra-telepathica/#findComment-2545996 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octavulg Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 This definitely feels like one of those "we'd have heard of them by now" things. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/213927-adeptus-astra-telepathica/#findComment-2546708 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Hunter Ydalir Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 I think I'm thinking of something else but I thought that the Sisters of Silence all got wiped out at some point? Or was that the brides of the emperor? This definitely feels like one of those "we'd have heard of them by now" things. Indeed. Though with something so important as what is virtually the Imperium's only long range communication network everyone would protect it. So instead of a chamber militant you have all arms of the Imperial war machine protecting you. Arbites, Imperial Guard and any other military forces present with one of these focal points.

soddinnutter Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 It was never stated what happened to the Sisters of Silence. They were never recorded to have been wiped out. But neither were the Squats, Zoats, Jekeoro, Slann, Hrud, Rainbow Warriors, Space Sharks, Rubinek or Legio Cybernetica. They just don't get much screen time anymore. The Daughters of the Emperor were renamed Brides of the Emperor by Gorge Vandire, as he tried to get others to believe that he was the Avatar of the Emperor this was probably just an attempt to get them into bed. They were renamed the Sisters of Battle and adopted by the Ecclesiarchy as its militant arm after an Imperial law was past telling them 'You shall have no man at arms'. They were to replace the Fraternis Tempelars. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/213927-adeptus-astra-telepathica/#findComment-2546797 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecritter Posted October 28, 2010 Author Share Posted October 28, 2010 Its not as if I'm making them up, from what I've read they were mentioned in: 1:Horus Heresy: Collected Visions 2:The Flight of the Eisenstein (Novel) by James Swallow 3:The Voice by James Swallow Anyway, my question was, and is, "Is this this place to work on a reborn Cadre of the Sisters of Silence"? This is all for future use, I have no plans at the moment of working on it, just a question.

Ferrata Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Liber opens its halls to any form of DIY force that is covered by the B&C - be they Loyalist or Traitor chapters, forces of the Inquisition, AM and Daemon forces. However, I am not sure if this would stretch to the Sisters of Silence - it depends on their foundations.

WingsOfTheFalcon Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Sounds like you are trying to make an army akin to Comstar from the Battletech universe. A neat idea but not really suitable for the 40k universe as it would be such a large organisation that it would feature across all areas of the fluff, hence not a lot of people would readily accept it.

Ecritter Posted October 28, 2010 Author Share Posted October 28, 2010 Thanks for the answer. This should be closed now as there is no point in debating about a group that is already a Canon part of GWs 40k Universe.
