The Orders Militant (Sisters of Battle) of the Adepta Sororitas
form the military arm of the Adeptus Ministorum (Ecclesiarchy) and
also serve as the Chamber Militant of the Ordo Hereticus (Witchhunters).

"Hope Grendyl's got the Sisters of Battle on standby; just in case, y'know."

This guide aims to re-create a Sister of Battle from the Order of Our Martyred Lady,
loosely based on their appearance in 'Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Soulstorm'.

This is the Sister of Battle look we're aiming for.
Of course, we'll have to work with the options
the game provides us with. Which are... well,
quite a few, honestly. The latest shop rotation
(21st November) added a fitting accessory into
our cosmetic arsenal. It is rather pricy though.
Keep that in mind and only invest the amount
of money you're comfortable with and consider
your amount of (play)time in the game as well.

Accumulated costs for mentioned cosmetics:

3200 Aquilas (Gear, considered mandatory) and 1100 Aquilas (Weapons, considered optional).

Hair Styles

Choose one, but the iconic Sister of Battle hair style is available. If you want to go the extra mile, choose grey/white hair color. This is based on events in the Order of Our Martyred Lady's history.


Facial Hair

None, meaning no eyebrows.


Facial Tattoos

XVII*


*This facial tattoo will provide a fleur-de-lis (and more, like eyebrows).

"I pray that the Emperor in his wisdom sends his daughters to cleanse this place."

Primary Weapons

Relic Blade
Munitorum • Mk X

A two-handed power sword, the power greatsword benifits from
increased charge capacity and longer reach, making it a deadly, if
cumbersome, assault weapon.

Munitorum • Mk II

This sword's advanced power core channels coursing energy
through the blade with devastating effect.


Combat Blade
Catachan • Mk VI

Sometimes called the Catachan Fang, these hefty combat knifes
are known and feared across a thousand battle zones.

Catachan • Mk III

They say a Catachan Jungle Fighter can take down a full-grown
Cudbear with one of these knifes. Well, anything they can do, the
Moebian 100th can do better!
- Major Neena Kolfex


Assault Chainsword
Cadia • Mk IV

With their honed, monomolecular-edged teeth, chainswords are
prized within the Astra Militarum, where they are often issued to
squad sergeants as a symbol of authority.

Cadia • Mk XIIIg

The chainsword has developed little since the Dark Age of
Technology. As a brutally effective tool against heresy, why fix
what isn't broken?


Secondary Weapons

Bolt Pistol
Godwyn-Branx • Mk IV

A subtle variation on the more well-known Godwyn-Ultima pattern
bolt pistol. This human-portable weapon still carries a terrifying
punch, provided by the high-calibre mass reactive shells loaded
into its clip.


Purgation Flamer
Artemia • Mk III

Hailing from the same forge world as the mighty Hellhound flame
tank, this weapon uses volatile promethium to scour heretics with
flame.


Spearhead Boltgun
Locke • MK IIb

A variant of an old Adeptus Arbites design, Locke-pattern boltguns
are known for their reliability and stopping power.

Gear

Upper Body

Pious Warrior's Armour - (1400 Aquilas)

While mostly ceremonial, this toughened plasteel armour
still provides some protection from enemy fire and blades
alike.


Lower Body

"Shadow Sanctum" Crusader Garb - (700 Aquilas)

In pursuit of stealthier attire, even the armour plates have
been blackened with soot. This requires regular
maintenance, and so, ironically, replaces the usual rituals
of polishing that many Crusaders will spend hours doing.


Accessory

Power Regulator Backpack - (1100 Aquilas)

This backpack is packed with unkowable mechanisms
and devices to help regulate the various systems found in
power armour. Not sure what you're going to do with it.


Weapons (Optional)

Bolt Pistol

Magistratum Bolt Pistol (Blessed) - (700 Aquilas)

Facing the business end of a bolt pistol would make even
the toughest criminal rethink their life choices. But when
the pistol is festooned with purity seals and is wielded by a
captain of Magstratum (sic) enforcers of Tertium, even a
heretic of the ruinous powers would hesitate.


Purgation Flamer

Blessed Crucis Flamer - (400 Aquilas)

Many sects that venerate Saint Messelina believe in the
purifying powers of flame. Particulary when administered
to those who have fallen from the Emperor's light.


Assault Chainsword, Combat Blade, Purgation Flamer and Spearhead Boltgun

Fire Wastes Camo - (20,000 Ordo Dockets)

A once-common design employed by Astra Militarum
regiments who earned battle honours exterminating the
renegade Space Marines known as the Black Reavers. Few
such regiments have survived the decades since... almost
as if they've been targeted by some outside force.


Bolt Pistol, Combat Blade, Relic Blade, Purgation Flamer and Spearhead Boltgun

Rosette Inquisitorius - (Reward for Level 30)

Not recommended for any of the Chainswords, because of very annoying clipping issues.

Blitz

Immolation Grenade

Throw a grenade that leaves a layer of
flaming liquid, Burning and Staggering
enemies, and barring their path. Most
effective against Unarmoured enemies.


Aura

Beacon of Purity

Heal 1.5 Corruption from the current
Wound for you and you Allies in Coherency
every 1s.


Ability

Chorus of Spiritual Fortitude

Wield a holy relic that releases pulses
of energy every 0.8s. While
channeling, Allies in Coherency have
Stun Immunity and Invunerability.

Each pulse Replenishes 45%
Toughness to Allies in Coherency. If
the Ally is at full Toughness they
instead gain +20 Max Toughness up to
a total of +100.

60s Base Cooldown.
