I remember a story about a squad of sisters being arressted and tortured due to suspicion of one of them being chaos corrupted. You are always reminded of a constant scratching sound while they are in their seperate cells. At the end it turns out yes one of them was corrupted by slaanesh. So the torture with her lasted the longest and the other sisters thought she was being strong and pious when I fact she was enjoying it. And the scratching noise? That was her scratching the walls of her cell so they were perfectly smooth. I have no idea what it is called sadly.

As a sisters fan, I do you actually like the concept of sisters being able to fall to chaos, but I like it being a very rare event. So like at most it being a single squad in a chaos army however, the reason I like it is because I like the looming rare threat of turning to chaos. I like that it is a possibility. I like that threat being there it gives character and it gives motivation to remain resolved. I think the iconoclast story is very indicative of that and is a great showcase as to how a corrupted sister confused as a great antagonist but still allow for there to be great faith amongst the sisters, and if it’s rare, then I feel like it doesn’t deter their faith
@minhducnguyen9276 22 күн бұрын
The Words Bears in the book apocalypse said they would be many times stronger than any other Chaos warband if they just have a handful of SoB on their sides. And the book storm of iron further demonstrated that. It wasn't even a sister, just a guardsman getting captured by the Iron Warriors and a warsmith turned her into his personal slave to taunt her for daring to stand up against him, guess the warsmith was marinating her anger too much because she eventually turned into an avatar of Khorn and killed him.

In my opinion, a sister falling to chaos should be treated as an absurdly rare exception that proves the rule of how generally devout the sororitas are. If chaos sisters were to be implemented into the table-top (which I hope they do some day), it should be in the form of named character units. Like, imagine how sick it would be to have a Mirael Sabathel figure as the head of a Slaanesh cult army.

If the Tau with their tiny and imperceptible souls are able to be corrupted, major examples being Farsight fighting the influence of Khorne and another being a water caste Tau falling to Tzeentch after being exposed to an unprotected warp drive, then it should be possible for the Sisters to be corrupted as well.

I think the idea of corruptible sisters is not only acceptable but even important in the lore. It should be very uncommon and it should be treated as unthinkable and unforgivable by the order, obviously, but the idea of the sisters being invincible to corruption makes them unrelatable and unappealing, because it is obvious that their order demands superhuman levels of discipline, devotion and sacrifice. It follows that a sister, being only human, would fall from time to time, and that the order would suppress that knowledge for the sake of their ideals. But it is the fragile nature of their humanity, coupled with the strength of their faith, resolve, and the obvious power of those that never falter, manifesting the emperor's will in the form of incredible feats of combat and actual miracles on the battlefield, that will always make them a beacon of hope for the imperium, despite the fact that some may occasionally lose their battle against the horrors they willingly face.

Miriel Sabathiel is older than Abnett's story. She dates back to the 1st 40k CCG, which was released in 2001. Though her card was in one of the expansions, so I think she debuted in 2002. Abnett's story is from 2006. There's also the Chaos sister from Daemonifuge, who (I think) is the first canon instance of a Chaos Sister, dating back to 1999. She lasts about 2 pages though before Ephrael Stern rips the Chaos parasite/daemon/thing out of her chest. Also, Artel W do some nice Chaos Sisters in their Forces of the Abyss range.

I think no one is really immune to corruption or temptation. But I think the fact that it is possible, no matter how remote of a chance it is, makes the SoB that don't fall to Chaos all the more impressive. Just being immune to chaos corruption means that they don't really have to fear it or fight against it. But when we see that it is possible for them to fall, it means the faith and willpower of those that resist that temptation are just that much stronger. It's like the astartes and not being able to feel fear. You can't truly say a space marine is brave because bravery is not the lack of fear, its the ability to overcome that fear and do what needs to be done. Yes, whether or not astartes feeling the actual emotion of fear has been removed, retconned, and changed so often it's hard to say for sure exactly what "know no fear" actually means, but it's a given that astartes do not break from fear or let it influence their actions, most of the time. TLDR immunity to chaos corruption is boring, but feeling it and overcoming it is much more impressive.

They could probably work similarly to how Inquisitors and Assassins work for the Imperium, I.E. named character units, or character-level units, that can be added to any [Chaos] Keyword army, rather than their own individual army with their own codex. So you could say, have your Chaos Daemons lead by a small handful of named Chaos Sister units instead of Belakor or some Greater Daemons. Or have a named Chaos Sister as the head of your Chaos Space Marine army. If they where done that way, I'd drop one of my two big Birbs in my Tzeentch Daemons for a Chaos sister in a heartbeat!

You don't need to fall to corruption to become a repentia or be placed in a mortifier though. Even Saint Celestine was a sister repentia at one time before she became a living Saint. The only thing needed to become a sister repentia is to fail in your duty. This does not even need to be objective failure. If you fought a battle which could not be won but somehow survived it, you could consider yourself 'failing' as you did not die for your cause. With mortifiers it is practically be the same although just one step worse. But yeah, sisters not being able to be corrupted is clearly only propaganda as so many things in 40K lore.

Personally, I LOVE the concept of there being "sisters of chaos" out there. However, I feel like it should be more of an uncommon occurrence, like one or a handful out of a thousand sisters or something of the like. I do agree that the image of the Sister of Battle being incorruptible is a big chunk of their image and part of their allure as a faction, the idea of these relatively normal mortal women being able to resist corruption where even the Astartes falter. But as we all should know by now, there are very few absolutes in this setting. Still, I think it'd be cool for "Sisters of Chaos" to become a thing on the table-top.
@TheDownrankTrain 19 күн бұрын
If the Word Bearers turned to chaos, so can the Sisters. The Chaos Gods are historically good at turning zealotry for the emperor into zealotry for themselves. The Zealot in Darktide is a good example of this ("Blood for the Emperor, Skulls for the Golden Throne!"). I think one of the key ingredients for a Convent turning traitor is prolonged isolation from the rest of the Imperium. Without external correction from the Ecclesiarchy they could quite easily drift into chaos worship over a few generations, particularly if the world they are on already has a tainted presence, all the while genuinely believing that they are still righteous servants of the Emperor and that everyone else is wrong. With the galaxy split in half and a lot of worlds cut off it is quite feasible that we could see more traitor sisters, i think it can make for good stories.

Extreme repression and living under the strict rules and authority of the Ecclesiarchy make hedonism (slaanesh) and ambition/independence/rule breaking ( Tzeentch) the two likely domains of chaos that they would find enticing.

Interesting, I’d think that “more heretic blood & skulls!” would be more likely than ambition/betrayal, as Sisters are famously loyal to their beliefs & fellow battle sisters, and said beliefs tend to call for heavy amounts of bloodshed.

I figure, generally, that it is possible to defy corruption by sheer force of will, IF you can keep your faith strong enough. And while most Sisters' faith is strong enough, some do fall short - because nobody is perfect, especially in 40k. A lot of things can happen to them in this case, from failing in battle to attempted desertion. But occasionally, circumstances align so that they fall to Chaos instead. This doesn't happen often, but probably more often than we think, because there is no WAY the Ecclesiarchy doesn't clap a lid over that shit. This is just how I prefer to think of it. Because like you, I admire the Sisters, and I find their uncorruptible faith utterly badass. But another thing I really like in this setting is how many cracks are in it, how close the whole mess is to falling completely. The hypocrisy, the sheer weight of lies the Imperium is crumbling under. And it makes sense to me that some of those cracks contain fallen Sisters. It makes sense that there would be SOME, because a system this bad can't help but produce side effects.

Personally I like the idea that they CAN be corrupted but it should be rare. I'd also really kinda like it if their corruption is unstable so that while they may be corrupted they are likely to become Chaos Spawn or just die from it after a while. It would make them different.

Immunity from corruption by SoB would have been more interesting with the theory of the emperor becoming a warp entity corrupting them. Also interesting to see there are stories of Chaos cults fighting genestealer cult, although the more interesting ones would be either Tzeench, but mostly Nurgle. A cult of either of those chaos gods finding a way to mutate or infect a genestealer cult could open so much avenues for interesting stories about the tyranids.

I would actually love to see an entire order of chaos sisters that have a deep hatred for the Word Bearers. They recognise them as the ones who lead humanity to the dark gods, but they resent 10,000 years of failure. They have thier own rituals where they hunt the possessed and rip the daemons out of them to give them more worthy hosts. Maybe a ritual where they consume the word Bearers geneseed to empower themselves and weaken the failure legion

At the risk of sounding heretical, I really like the design of that Sister of Tzeentch in the thumbnail. The subtle gradient in the hair, the tiny parting of the lips into a small almost-playful smile, the piercing eyes looking straight into your soul thru the screen, it’s all very well done in making the final design look equal parts beautiful & menacing & enticing & intimidating. (Plus I think it’s part of a pair, with the other Sister looking more “saintly” as you would expect from a loyal Imperial Sister. So the contrast adds even more to the aesthetic appeal.)

Honestly, I see Khorne as the likeliest one, followed by Slaanesh, then Nurgle, then Tzeentch. Khorne has the classic battle lust while Slaanesh could go use a similar approach to Fulgrim in terms of perfectionism and pain/pleasure vibes. Nurgle is well, basically happy nihilism so I imagine any Sister of Battle who suffers enough self-esteem issues will be approached by the squishy green one. Tzeentch is least likely because he seems to have the least things to offer to the Sisters of Battle, at least those ordained for combat. Probably a couple of the lesser smaller ones, but I don't see Tzeentch having appeal for the main Sisters. Maybe treachery, but that is a stretch.

Agreed that a person capable of cross species possession, without dying multiple times is cool, and makes me wonder if they aren't somewhat right that their faith sets them apart.

I think if we get Heretical Sisters, we are going to see Chaos Daemons and Knights become "Forces of Chaos Undivided" where it becomes a Soup-book. Chaos Space Marines can soup in 250pts per 1000pts being played. It would have Chaos Guards and Chaos Sisters, Daemons, Vashtorr and his creations, the Chaos Knight lineup, and Dark Mechanicum. Counting it up, it has eight detachments already. Chaos Infantry (Sisters and Guardsman/Battleline Daemon horde soup), Daemon Engine Vashtorr, Knights and Vehicle slant (Vashtorr optional), Dark Mechanicum (Vashtorr recommended), Daemons (Undivided), Khorne (Kill Enemy Models = Good), Nurgle (Increased Bulk), Tzaangors (Magic), and Slaanesh (Tons of Hits)

I think it makes sense that they can get corrupted ngl. I feel like the charm of incorruptible sisters is still kinda there because, as you mentioned, there’s not much record of it happening. Even though members of the sororitas may get corrupted, the sisters together as a force still seems fairly hard to corrupt. I feel like this makes me like them even more cuz it shows that even though they’re human and susceptible to corruption, they clean up their dirty laundry the moment it hits the floor before it becomes too big of an issue for all of mankind (unlike their brothers in the past as they might see it).

Not sure if you count this as corruption, but there was a sister who was captured and tortured into serving chaos by the emperor’s children, becoming a champion of Slaanesh. This was technically forced on her, so I’m not sure if you would’ve counted this for the video if you’re aware of it Wes, but she’s pretty cool. She’s even got a crazy demon sword. I can’t remember her name though

honestly, I am a big fan of the idea of Chaos sisters, as I really hate any lore that says that "these characters are incorruptible out of sheer faith" as well as the lore that states that "no human can see this and not fall" I don't like those absolutes. The idea of the sister being extremely resistant is good, but I don't want them to be immune. Custodes and grey knights are interesting, as I feel like corruption should be technically possible for them, but they can't ever truly "fall" because their body and soul would essentially self-destruct if they were ever about to be fully corrupted.

"To doubt is to be human." - Some dead guy While I hold no doubt fallen sisters exists in a sizeable number, I think if they come to tabletop they should be not as a faction or army but as a special unit you can add to your already existing army in kind to how the assassins can be added as single units. A case of the individual has fallen and you can add that acknowledgement to the army. From the lore perspective however, I like the concept that there fallen are only mentioned through hushed conversations or quips and challenges from chaos. "You think I'm evil? Well look over there and answer me her!"
