I always assumed it was just in universe propaganda and that there’s actually a lot more out there
>I always assumed it was just in universe propaganda and that there’s actually a lot more out there
Most citizens of the Imperium don't even know that CSM exist.
Splitting hairs between "intentionally gives themselves to Chaos" and "coerced or corrupted into service." The latter happens all the time. Repentia and Mortifiers are cowards impressed as punishment, but traitors are rarely addressed.
>Out of the hundreds of thousands of Sisters of Battle only like 2 have turned to Chaos
That's a straight up lie.
It is, and that is brought up in the Sisters of Battle books.

good post
No, grey knights were when the emps said "Ok malcador, make space marines but this time DONT ignore the biggest threat to humanity"
>Inspector comes around to audit Emp's space marine gene labs
>"Ah, so here's your problem. In the future, when you're makin' your Astartes, you wanna flick the Chaos corruptible switch from 'ON' to 'OFF'. Yeah pretty common mistake, most people overlook it."
I’ve always found Sisters of Silence. Stupid. Marines and Sororitas are fine, trillions of humans yeah you can afford to just recruit men or women, but blanks are already exceedingly rare, more rare than psykers, and to add to it you’ll only recruit a single sex, and women at that?
Male blanks are claimed by the Culexus Temple of the Officio Assassinorum.
There are female culexus assassins too. I'm really not sure what the Sister's of Silence recruiting criteria is besides female null.
blessed is the mind to small for doubt
Sisters of Battle are wildly unpredictable. If SM are surgeons knife and IG the slow hammer, SoBs area axes swung wildly by a berserker.
This also depends on the Order but we all know they're just Our Matyred Lady.
>SoBs area axes swung wildly by a berserker.
The axe would need to be on fire while the wielder shouted battle hymns at the top of her lungs.
>They are only more susceptible to a Genestealer's Xeno influences
Hot, genestealer cult sisters of battle
I need this

>Should the Emperor have made Space Marines women instead?
no, women are vastly inferior in combat and have a different role in society. The negligible few who are not and are exceptional in many other ways become sisters. Still inferior to astartes in combat.
version 1
No sister has indeed every fallen to chaos, when the Vandire incident occurred the God-Emperor decided to support them in a way that is unique and direct. They do not fall. And due to being women and not men (women are inferior in everything war-related but in this they are more capable if pure etc) they could receive this effect with ease, whilst men could not.
Chaos worshipers claim that sisters have fallen but its a lie and a deception via psychic powers, illusions and constructed flesh-things.
version 2
few have fallen but fewer know about it, the numbers are negligible
version 3
with the countless retcons of 40k on everything you can assume whatever the frick you want and it will not matter. A myriad versions.
i used version 1 in 40 rpg sessions
>no, women are vastly inferior in combat and have a different role in society.
bruh in the grim dark future people fight with cybernetic enhancements and power armor and sometimes even hipster magical powers, biological differences between the sexes are irrelevant
>biological differences between the sexes are irrelevant
they are not in the least bit, the change from mortal to astartes is based on biological changes, to those that are worthy, that facilitate superhuman physical, emotional and mental capacity.
lmao what is this argument, you do realize the setting has people who aren't space marines fighting don't you?
>who aren't space marines fighting don't you?
and their competency is colossally inferior to astartes (negligible and there are a myriad things that they cannot do that astartes can), are you saying that the God-Emperor did not know what he was doing and he should just given some bigger riles to guardsmen and some women and the endless hordes of enemies of humanity would have been defeated?
no, astartes are run of the mill elites that are pretty balanced or even inferior to many other types of elite fighter in the setting, including in the imperium itself
chaos worshiper
Imperial Assassins shit all over your average Astartes and they are not male only organizations.
An Eversor would make mincemet out of one no matter what they have down there.
They're secondaries thinking they can use a fictional unserious setting to push their conservative drivel instead of playing games.
Anyone who plays games know SMs are like 20pts or some shit, and they used to have one (1) wound in editions that mattered.
>should just given some bigger riles to guardsmen and some women
Most fighting is done by PDF, Admech, and IG. Astartes are only involved in a fraction of the combat in the setting and when they are they only pull off the victories they do thanks to PID and plot armour.
Even in the days of the Great Crusade the Imperial Army did more fighting than the Legions - this was just not depicted in the HH novels because BL sucks
Assassins, Custodes, elite Mechanicus, and various other lesser known and one-off supersoliders match or surpass Astartes in pure combat. Astartes see their ubiquitous use thanks to their ease of production and reliability
>argument,
its stating a fact, biology matters colossally as the foundation. The God-Emperor made astartes, thunder warriors, Custodes etc first Biologically superior and the rest would follow. And he chose those that already had better genetics.
what you're actually arguing is that biology matters as a foundation for copying the gene seed of the primarchs, not for combat ability in general which you wanted to argue, dummy
>cybernetic enhancements and power armor
What part of Conan don't you get?
>Still inferior to astartes in combat.
Prepubescent boys are also inferior to Astartes in combat.
>version 1
Why would the Emperor just give that to his men soldiers?
I have no idea how GW let it slip trough but genestealer cults are literally fetishbait
"You have committed the ultimate heresy. Not only have you turned your back on the Emperor and stepped from his light, you have profaned his name and almost destroyed everything he has striven to build. You have perverted and twisted the path he has laid for Mankind to tread. As your own decrees have stated, there can be no mercy for such a crime, no pity for such a criminal. I renounce your lordship, you walk in the darkness and cannot be allowed to live. Your sentence has been long overdue and it is now time for you to die."
-Dominica executed him on the spot with her own Power Sword
they cannot fall its a lie,
Grail of Ages
This goblet of black stone is said to have been created when Matriarch Alicia Dominica communed with the Emperor during the Age of Apostasy. Little is known about the grail and the power it holds, but it has been observed unleashing holy energy upon the battlefield against the enemies of the Imperium as well as performing other miracles. It is said that when Dominica poured out the vessel's contents, the Emperor's voice boomed and with a single word shattered whole armies. The grail was also said to shatter the minds of every Psyker on a planet when Dominica carried the grail to war. It is believed that there are tales of the Grail within the Black Library and possibly even in the Book of Magnus. The Sisters of the Order of the Ebon Chalice themselves do not speak of the Grail and its powers and see themselves as the guardian of its secrets. As such, they purge any texts concerned the Grail and immolate its authors as heretics.
So it's implied to be *The* grail, then?
Most space marines are as you would expect - massive chuds. Tell them you've got a new crypto coin that will return 3x the emperor's favor if they just get corrupted a *tinnny* bit and they'll go for it every time. Sisters are much more devout and actually level headed. Only the absolute most serious chapters like the grey knights can compete with them in that sense.
Entire sister covens fell to Khornate corruption in Arks of Omen: Angron.
There are more examples of corrupted sisters.
To add this as a bonus there was a Sister who fell to a Genestealer Patriarch by her own will and she became the mother figure of the cult.
shut up homosexual
>Out of the hundreds of thousands of Sisters of Battle only like 2 have turned to Chaos
because most die before even being able to question the imperium.
Have you ever wondered if there are so many sisters, why do groups of 5 SoB always go? It's because 10,000 of them died the moment they set foot on the planet.
What's with the posts randomly being deleted?
There didn't seem to be anything objectionable about these, and they're basically correct. Was it the art? Or the fact that Sisters got fricked by Genestealers in those stories? (In 'Cast a Hungry Shadow', one is repeatedly impregnated until she can't bear any more children. The protagonist is in fact her hybrid son.)
>In 'Cast a Hungry Shadow', one is repeatedly impregnated until she can't bear any more children.
I will now read that book, damn genestealers hit perfectly into my tastes
Weren't all the sisters who survived vraks judged to be corrupted?
They were catatonic so it's impossible to tell.
>fleur de lis brand, tattoo, rune
should've been a QOS spade instead.
Didn't a good number of sisters turned to chaos with Khorne's rage virus curse shit?
Yes, although admittedly that took Khorne directly intervening by empowering/assisting Angron.
"Rocks fall everyone dies" save-or-suck warp bullshit isn't really "falling to chaos" though, in my book. Not in the way OP means.
Sisters can be mind controlled/mutated beyond reason, but willingly falling to Chaos is incredibly rare. You would never have a Horus Heresy-situation with Sisters.
Horus Heresy was created by the most Sister-like of space marines. Sisters not falling to chaos is one of the most arbitrary pieces of lore in a universe where most things are arbitrary.
Chaos worshippers don't turn to other chaos gods 😉
What's the typical ratio for space marines? 1 in 3?
Half the legions fell, and then half Dark Angels and then some more traitoring among loyalists.
If sisters had Primarch level leaders that were subject to E's parenting and developed comparable daddy issues, the entire galxy would already be slaanesh domain.
>Out of the hundreds of thousands of Sisters of Battle only like 2 have turned to Chaos
Don't they have a sub-army of repentant traitors?
>Out of the hundreds of thousands of Sisters of Battle only like 2 have turned to Chaos
Literally the first story of Ephrael Stern includes corrupted SoB trying to kill her
>Sisters of Battle
No, GW should make chaos sisters of battle instead.
1: Female Space Marines are not possible. Cawl and the Emperor agreed that it wasn't possible, the forces of Chaos who don't have to obey the rules haven't created any FSM either despite having the ability, as we've seen, to simply create new Chaos Marines directly via the Daemonucubla or whatever pig latin name they came up with for a hellc**t. If it were possible to create female marines Fabius Bile would've done it as a prank already.
2: The Emperor would not have done it even if it were possible because the ONLY reason to make something a woman instead of a man is if you want it to give birth, which he explicitly did not.
3: The Sisters of Battle were formed as a way to exploit a loophole allowing the Ecclesiarchy to have an armed wing, they weren't chosen because they were better or more loyal, they were chosen because the Ecclesiarchy was explicitly not allowed to have MEN under arms. By giving a bunch of fanatical nuns power armor and boltguns they were able to make them an effective fighting force.
And finally,
4: The Horus Heresy did not happen because there was something wrong with Horus or with the Marines, the Horus Heresy happened because the Emperor was a fricking psychopath and hurt the people who would have been most loyal to him repeatedly for no reason until they rebelled against him, Lorgar would have fricking shot himself in the head if the Emperor had told him to without asking why, and HE turned because the Emperor just kept abusing him.
While it would be extremely funny to watch the Horus Heresy except the Emperor is just psychologically abusing and gaslighting his 7 foot tall daughters, the Distaff Heresy would have been as bad or worse than the Horus Heresy.

This must have me an idea for a fanfic; what if all the Primarchs had a twin sister? That was sent to the same world as them. And they’d be pretty similar but still different enough in their personalities / powers to properly differentiate them. Some might like their brother (Girlyman and Manlywoman) but other may clash with and hate them (Angron and Annoyedroness, etc).
I’d write a fanfic for this if I had the time, writing skill, or attention span.
That is the joke, I just find it funny that someone had to go type like 15 things through Google translate into Latin until he found something that sounded 40k enough to use.
>they hunt Space Marines for Sport
My brother in the star children quite literally every faction short of the certain Imperial ones hunt Space Marines for sport. You couldnt even name a single Xeno species whos most basic trooper isnt a deadly threat to even veteran space marines.
Indeed, and the only reason people don't put up resources to make 'female spacemarines' is heavy resource investment with low chances of success. If all you need is an incubator for your skinless brood this is fine enough though, use an SOB for best results, they die slightly less fast compared to tissue paper shlubs like cadians and workgangers.
How many of these wear anything like power armor?
Why daemonculaba and you have to farm skin to make it happen when you could just go pick up a few bros from your hand picked marine farms and jack em?
Imperium doesn't need filthy wamen
they don't need skin if you slap a black carapace on em
if sisters of battle can supposedly get corrupted by chaos does that mean that chaos marines can get redeemed and fight for the imperium?
Yes, a Chaos follower can absolutely turn back to the light. But the Imperium would refuse to accept their redemption and would just kill them.
You can escape the grasp of Chaos, but the Imperium is probably never going to knowingly let you back in, they're paranoid for a very good reason.
