WarriorFish Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Could you provide a bit more detail on what to expect? I'd like to read some 40k that's about something other than Marines (or worse; awful attempts at humour), assuming the usual webcomic pitfalls can be avoided of course.

andrewm9 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 In the author's own words, "Testing an idea for Adepta Sororitas comic about unregistered living saint tainted with the power of Slaneesh , (need to find someone who is good with panels, more like cinema frames at the moment). putting another version on without text. Any input welcome." I can appreciate the work and love the author is going to put into it, but I'm not fond of the premise. I don't like the idea of tainted Sisters much less a Living Saint. I can't see the Emperor blessing such an individual or allowing it to happen after beautification.

I can't see the Emperor blessing such an individual or allowing it to happen after beautification. It depends on how it's done. If it's exploitative ("heh heh... they've got boobs!") or just dumb ("Slaanesh magic and miracles... what could go wrong?"), then I'll hate it. If it's done more subtly - sort of a "last temptation of the living saint" kind of situation - then I could see it being interesting. She's tainted, so she's got something to struggle against - something inside her. That's interesting - it creates conflict. Personally, I think that just an ordinary woman struggling with the burgeoning divine power inside her is plenty of internal conflict, but that's a theme I find particularly compelling.

*Furyou Miko Posted October 18, 2013 Author Share Posted October 18, 2013 See, my problem with just the divine power is that it's a holy, good thing for her, so why does she need to struggle? >< Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/282092-incoming-sisters-webcomic/#findComment-3499796 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElectricPaladin Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 See, my problem with just the divine power is that it's a holy, good thing for her, so why does she need to struggle? >< Please don't take this as criticism of your style. This is a creative matter - you like what you like. For me, the struggle is that the divine is fundamentally other. It tears you away from the life you want to have and thrusts you into a world that is painful and deadly and alien and wrong. You want to get married, have kids, have a job, have friends... and the divine looks down at you and screams "YOU MUST DO YOUR DUTY!" And worst of all, you have no choice. The divine will have its way with you, and you can fight it until it drives you crazy, or you can let it empty you of everything you held dear until all that is left is God's terrible purpose, or you can try to strike a balance. The trouble is that God is a lousy boss, and he doesn't believe in weekends or holidays. Case in point, I'm Jewish, and the only part of the Jesus myth that ever really appealed to me is the part where Jesus begs God to let him off the hook. I believe the line is "take this chalice away from me." He wants to marry his girlfriend and pop out a half dozen kids and make his mom and adopted dad proud. He doesn't want a mission, or to be crucified. He wants to live. He wants to be normal. But the divine says "No." Or it's like that scene in the Last Temptation of the Christ, where the last temptation turns out to be a vision in which his friends rescue him from the cross, and he recovers from his injuries, and marries Mary, and everything's going to be fine... until he realizes that it's just another trick, and the only way to achieve his mission is to go back, face reality, and die like he was made to die. The divine is terrible. The divine is awful. The divine may have everyone's best interests at heart, but may the devil have mercy on your soul - because God will have none - if the divine picks you as its agent. It is cruel and demanding. It is a "cold light," as Susan Cooper put it. Its plans have a terrible price, and you are the one who has to pay. If that's not enough source for conflict - between that and fighting Orks and cultists and whatever - then I don't know what is. This isn't meant as a critique of your premise. Different strokes for different pens and all that. You rock on with what you've got planned. But if I were you, that's what I would write.

WarriorFish Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I think some people might take issue with you calling it the "Jesus myth". As for your musings they are fair enough but as soon as I heard "Slaanesh" I did the old eye shuffle. Someone do something like Nurgle Sisters, that'd be new right? So could be good, could be rubbish. Let's keep an eye on it and find out :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/282092-incoming-sisters-webcomic/#findComment-3499861 Share on other sites More sharing options...

As opposed to facts, which only real when they are true.

*Furyou Miko Posted October 18, 2013 Author Share Posted October 18, 2013 Ehe, I won't take offence. I'm not the author. I just found it and wanted to share. >> I guess I see where you're (EP) coming from. Personally, I prefer the version where Jesus wanted to live with his boyfriend James (also a completely valid interpretation of the Bible, although one that Paul personally detested). Who knows, maybe Slaanesh in this case is just a euphamism for hormones?

Warsmith Aznable Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Myth has an academic meaning different from its "popular" meaning, so anyone who takes offense to it can be safely ignored. Moving right along, why is it always Slaanesh with Sisters of Battle? Oh yeah... Another question: can a Living Saint even be tainted? Isn't the point of saints that they are so pure that the Big E grants them special power in order to enact his will?

Eddie Orlock Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Why is it always Slaanesh? Because most people who want 'fallen sisters' are pubescent men? As much as I'd want to support the idea that Abnet is a wellspring of evil, it's not a fair indictment, he's done some remarkable work on other properties. Much of the targeted audience is comprised of pubescent males, most of us are suppsed to be outliers. Given the encouragement of 'Holy Rage', Sister's falling to the Blood God because they started to see everything as purge worthy would seem more germain to the setting. The only problem is the sleazy 'red tide' remarks it invites. I struggle with Sisters of Nurgle, but I think I could build a case for the tenent of continuing in the face of horrific wounds. Tzeentch's marks would have some interesting game mechanical implications, but I think the corruption here would have to come from non-combat orders who quested too deep for understanding. Perhaps a master copy of the litanies gets altered for an isolated outpost, or they recruit from a subtly debased local population and the reinterpretion of the ancient rites didn't clean them up enough? To comment of the old fluff of the dark gods, the Slaneesh/Khorn dichotomy could be partially characteristed as following your whims versus doing your duty. I don't see a lot of room for whim following in the Adepta, but I can some room for duty to be embraced to excess.

Knight of the Raven Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 The only problem is the sleazy 'red tide' remarks it invites. The red rage? Let me tell you, I'd rather face an entire order on their period than face one suffering from the black thirst. Never get between a woman and her coffee. I feel Khorne remains the most likely corruption because of their mania to kill and burn, not to mention their hate of psykers, and Tzeentch the most conflicting, precisely because of their hate of psykers (provided his influence is one of magic, not one of eyeballs sticking out of belly buttons).

Eddie Orlock Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Having contemplated it a bit, I think you might be able to start a Tzeentch story with a squad who too greatly laments that they have but one life to give in the service of the Emperor. They they meet a priest/find a tome of very slightly debased rites and they subtly modify their rituals of worship without realising they've changed patrons. Then they have a battle where in they find themselves reanimating and voila, undead warrior nuns of Tzeentch. A bit rubericesq.

SinnerBeta Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 living saint tainted with the power of Slaneesh Uhuh. Because most people who want 'fallen sisters' are pubescent men? Do people really think there's nothing more to Slaneesh than sex ?
