Orphus Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 G'day all you at the Ordos Inquisition, lately a strange feeling has been coming over me...the need to field some Sisters of Battle, but not just ordinary ones, ones with a Space Wolves twist in them. I know how the Sisters were created after the fall of Vandire and how they monitor for signs of corruption (watching the watchers) and things like that. The tribesfolk of Fenris are a fierce lot enough for the Space Wolves too eschew any other world to select their warriors from. I'm confident that their women would share that trait. So I have a question. Would it be viable if the Lords of Fenris to said to the Inquisition "we want to suggest something relating to the SoB" that something like this could viably go ahead? Or at least be done in secret? I know it might be difficult to find a realistic situation for them to exist and may require them to perhaps have a differing job description to regular sisters, but what do Inquisition players think of this?

Inquisitor Fox Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 It could be something as simple as an minor militant order founded upon Fenris by the Ecclesiarchy (the technical folk in charge of the Adepta Sororitas) ... I say go for it ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/220934-space-wolves-orientated-sisters/#findComment-2638485 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say go for it ;) But only the platinum blonde ones. Peroxide and hair dye is too expensive and difficult to come by in the 41st Milenium :lol: ;) Seriously though, haven't we had the discussion of the "Shield Maidens" and "Valkyries" over there before. I too have no doubts that the women of Fenris are much like those of Sparta. Strong enough to survive a harsh Homeworld climate and to breed and produce the Sons of Russ. I can see that if the Ecclesiarchy does any recruiting in the manner Successor Chapters do, they would have difficulty not selecting a Fenresian woman or three. I'm not well versed enough on the selection process to give credible commentary of their practices. It is a reasonable prospect to investigate and if will spur GW to FINALLY produce plastics, then I'm all for it. In game terms, the use of "Allies" has been authorized for some time. To find Space Marines fighting along side IG or SoB's or any other forces loyal to the Imperium is not out of the question.

AlexHolker Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 I don't think it works. While the Sisters and the Space Wolves see eye-to-eye on the subject of sacrificing innocent Imperial citizens (see the incident with the Flesh Tearers and the aftermath of the First War Of Armageddon), the Sisters are strongly orthodox, while the Space Wolves are strongly unorthodox (call them Lawful Good and Chaotic Good). The Sisters of Battle might be willing to overlook such a perceived failing in their allies, but not in their own recruits. And there's not really any room for a local analogue of the Adepta Sororitas in the fluff.

And there's not really any room for a local analogue of the Adepta Sororitas in the fluff. I don't know about that. It's not like they're given 6 weeks basic training then given their PA and deployed. Any recruits they get from Fenris would have years of indoctrination at the Sister's schools, so while their strength and fierceness would probably still exist, their unorthodox nature would have been shaped into whatever the Sisterhood require.

Validar Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 afaik, the people of Fenris aren't really aware of their alliance with the Imperium. From the Space Wolves novels I got the impression that they're a tribal people still living in the viking area, using boats and axes and telling legends about the "Skyfolk" that choose from the fallen, those who will come with them to explore the heavens. If the Ecclesiarchy is going to have a temple there, let alone an order of militant women training with guns in power armor - how would these simple people react? Should it be another mystical, unexplored place on Fenris where no one dares to go (kinda like the Fang), hmm... I think a better option alltogether would be to make up another world with almost exactly the same traits as Fenris. Since the SW refuse to recruit outside Fenris, there'd be no problem in the Ecclesiarchy using it as a main recruitment base for an order of Sisters - though they'd most likely enlighten the people on the planet about the emperor and establish faith on the planet (which they can't really do on Fenris) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/220934-space-wolves-orientated-sisters/#findComment-2638690 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azezel Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Read your Space Wolves codex, Orphus. The Space Wolves hate the Ecclesiarchy. Thay shot down a ship of unarmed preists. They fought a war against the Sororitas. They would never allow an order to recruit from Fenris. Moerover, the Sisterhood would want no one from Fenris. They are barbarians and they do not follow the Imperial Creed. There's a reason why the Sisterhood recruit almost exclusively from the schola progenium. They don't want heretical barbarians. They want highly orthodox, well educated, disciplined soldiers.

Valerian Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Exactly. Furthermore, Fenris and the sector surrounding it belong to the Space Wolves. They aren't likely to let some Imperial organization that they don't even like move in and start recruiting off of their own homeworld, even if the women of Fenris were even the kind of recruits the Ecclessiarchy were looking for.

So does the Inquisition. As long as the Space Wolves do the High Lords of Terra their occasionally bidding, the rest of the imperium steers clear of Fenris. Very clear.

Sister Rosette Soulknyt Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 And who would want to see a bunch of beer swilling, hairy, unshaven woman, who are not eliterate enough for the Imperial Creed to even consider. Let alone, that as mentioned the Sisters of Battle loath the Space Wolves for their practice of false religions, icons and to mention they fought a war against each other. Adepta Sororitus would never forget or forgive them, and would jump at the chance to burn those Heratics in Flame.

Perhaps his leg was severed at the knee, but he has a foot growing out of his arse? I knew the Space Wolves were mutants, but I didn't realise it was that bad. Actually, while we're on the subject, the woman seems to have the same problem. Maybe everyone on Fenris is a mutant... Exterminatus, please.

Bare midrift doesn't seem too out of the question once one goes back into the discussion of Sororitas Armor providing it's save (in game) compared to Astartes Armor be it Carapace or PA. Just sayin'.

Lord Ragnarok Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 My opinion you'd have an easier time allowing Dark Angels a section of the Fang to roost before SW 's would allow the SoB recruit women from Fenris. As mentioned the Ecclesiarchy attacked the SW's on Fenris. Aint gonna happen.

I think I will <_< @ Growler67 and jakehunter52 : thanks for some "friendly insight". @ Everyone else who dislikes the feasibility of my idea for whatever reason :I'm not snubbing your posts, I wanted to see what people thought and you told me, giving me admittedly solid reasons against Space Wolves Sisters. Their fluff won't be exactly like sisters, maybe just the SW drawing inspiration from the Ecclesiarchy. I'll give the fluff and my brain a little jiggle, see what I can come up with. And anyway, they might not see the light of day any time soon despite me wanting them now as my other two armies take priority to anything new and who knows what life will throw at me. Might even wait for the sisters to get an update before purchasing anything so for now I'll happy myself with the fluff and fiction. But I hope that's not too far away...

Sister Rosette Soulknyt Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Like the pictures, they look good. But i have to say in both of them, well they just dont look like SoB, more like female space marines, or in the second one, more like his girlfriend. These pictures dont show any similarities to be a Sororitas, sorry. Still say it would never happen, for the above reasons. But hey, if you like the idea, go for it, thats what this game is all about. Why not just make female space wolves???

Vindicatus Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 In regards to her armour... ...it's fantasy armour. Less is more. With a bare stomach like that, I'm betting she could catch tank shells out of the air with that powerfist and lob them back with a windmill underarm toss. She could probably pelvic thrust in the general direction of the enemy's trenchline and make the walls cave in on themselves. Just sayin'.

In the artist's comments, he was going after a Valkyrie theme. In mythology, they would come and gather the fallen warriors and take them to Odin's hall to await the Final Battle. I think that you could make a lot of analogies/parallels along that line. Best of luck too ya!

*Furyou Miko Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Only problem there is that on Fenris, 'Valkyries' are male (because Fenrisian Walkure are Space Wolf apothecaries, I.E. Wolf Priests). On the other hand, what's a viking hall without a few Helga Hardaxes to beat their worthless husbands over the head with flagons? The Space Wolves could have an order among their Chapter Serfs of 'women warriors', kind of like a Fenrisian PDF - only because they're Astartes-sponsored, they get Bolters and Power Armour (or Carapace Armour, depending on your side of the argument) instead of kevlar and carbines.
