I guess that’s the stupid way to play the guard.

BlackDeathViral03 Well Sisters of Battle are just normal humans wearing a Power Armor and doesn't have that much tanks like the Imperial Guard and Grey Knights and Death Watch are super humans who fights different kinds of daemons and xenos that are much more powerful than a Chaos Cultist so their abilities are far more greater than the Sisters of Battle.
Each Space Marine chapter has their own history, fighting style, teachings, adherence to Imperial law and codex, a different leader, and they operate within their own area of the galaxy. The Space Wolves are known to deviate the most from the codex, preferring individualism over working as a team and spamming attacks in close combat. Imagine Orks in power armor.

Living Saints just randomly appear within Sisters of Battle ranks. It supersedes any rank and experience.

The original Living Saint does not have wings really but she is escorted by two shroud-bearing cherubims.

Yes, Grey Knights are "in" the Ordo Malleus. Meaning they are part of that organization. Sister of Battle are part of Adeptus Ministorum (Ecclesiarchy) but they are not part of the Ordo Hereticus. The sisters answer to the Ecclesiarchy, and the Ordo Hereticus is part of the Inquisition. They do assist whenever they are called by the Inquisition, but they are not officially part of it. And yeah there's the Deathwatch. (Like Sergeant Cyrus from Dawn of War II)
Sisters' power come from morale damage. Once you remove a unit's morale, the enemy squad can't retaliate. You upgrade 5 flamers, it produces high morale damage and you can slaughter the squad with impunity. The walker unit (forgot it's name) is suppose the second strongest unit, next to the Living Saint. Use them as damage dealers while pinning them down with morale damage and you can win. (Except for where morale is not applicable. Then you just use normal attacks, and flamers still do damage.)

@QueenAbominae14344 all space marines are seperate factions that are self-governing and have limited authority in terms of marshal law. Sisters of Battle are the order miltant of the Ordo Hereticus which means they are the fighting arm and our required to answer an hereitcus inquistors quests immediately. Witch Hunters and Ordo Hereticus are the same thing.
4 relics that grant invincibility. I really feel like the 'relics' in this universe are like the one-time-use boosts that grant you bonusses in videogames, where no one uses them for they are simply too precious, even if it would save your entire race on that planet. \_/^^\_/ Gotta admit though, I'd propably do the same.
@BerserkerJohn She is someone who has died but the emperor brought her back. The emperor isn't just some random object of praise that the sisters of battle pray to, he actually does protects them and these are manifested in the acts of faith. There is also some sort of psychic power that is connected to it but its different that the power that chaos uses.
"I have yet to find a cinder that was not faithful in its praise to the Emperor." ...is maybe the scariest line in all of DoW 1: here's one who thinks they're on the right side yet wants to turn the galaxy (up to and including the Imperium of Man) into charcoal. Only the silent necrons come close to this worldview...
@Airganoth I hate to be contrary, but you're wrong. The Orders Militant of the Ordo Hereticus are an all-female branch of the Ordo Hereticus. Only female orphans are accepted into their ranks - just like with the Sisters Hospitaller, etc. They may fight alongside males and even include males in their standing forces - if the ecclesiarchy demands it - but they are still an all-female sub-faction. Furthermore, 'Witch Hunter' is simply a colloquial term that refers to Inquisitors; not Sisters.
@QueenAbominae14344 yes, it did count all of them... 1000 space marines versus the world. this included necrons, tau, imperial guard (who misinterpreted what the emporers orders were), chaos, orks, and eldar.
A little to question to the 40k buffs. How does one sister become a living saint ? And what's with the wings ? Do they miraculously grow by themselves ?
never explained properly. My favourite theory is that they are related to Sanguinius, who happened to have both a flaming sword and angel wings. Also sorry for the fast answer
@Lathox I debate to that. Adeptus Custodes brought Alicia Dominica right before the Golden Throne, in front of the Emperor himself. Although we do not know what took place there, it is very obvious that the Emperor knew what was happening. If the Sisters claimed they are the Emperor's Chosen, their Acts of Faith are the basis of their claim.
Tyranids invasion against the SoB stronghold Selena : Sisters !!! The Tyranids are here. Burn them to ashes and make sure everythings of them dissapear before the Emperor's holy light !!! SoB : For the Sisterhood ! For the God-Emperor ! Attack against the shrines : St.Anaïs : Come to me monsters !!! You will burn at the touch of my blade, Great Devourer !!! Selena : Sisters, the Swarm is near our shrines ! Support the Living Saint with holy fire ! Destruction of the Shrines : St.Anaïs : My shrines ! They have destroyed my holy shrines ! Selena : We have lost the Inviolable Aura, sisters. But we still stand as the Emperor's purifiers ! End : Selena : It is time for these xenos creatures to die ! Burn them to the last !!!
@dragonstormx yh i thought as much; from what i can tell they're just a whole army of scout marines (only better) in the respect that they both use bolters and other marine weapons, and they wear heavy armour. As you say, the main difference is the fact that marines are genetically enhanced, whereas the sisters of battle make up for their lack of enhancements with fanatic devotion. this is all, of course, my interpretation...
@sewagedweller they dont keep intetionally him in a vegetable state,but theres nothig you can do.hes seriously injuired and the golden throne is broken.are you talking about the starchild theory?anyway would that make the emperor a warp god?
So, in the end the Sisters were right, and the Imperial Guard was in fact under the influence of Chaos...but still, kind of stupid that they were so extreme towards their own allies.
I'm sorry, but it just doesn't hold a candle to "Enemies of the Imperium, hear me. You have come here to die. The Immortal Emperor is with us and we are invincible. His soldiers will strike you down. His warmachines will crush you under their treads. His mighty guns will bring the very sky crashing down upon you. You cannot win."
That sounds like probable dialogue. Can you do some more involving the S.O.B and some other factions? I really wish that Soulstorm had banter between the faction leaders.
@Airganoth Even then, the Ordo Hereticus doesn't really field armies except for armies unaffiliated Imperial armies they request - demand - to follow their lead, but they don't really have any armies of their own - except for the Order Militant of the Adeptus Sororitas. They do have specialized troops, like Inquisitorial Stormtroopers and the like, but they don't really have their own armies at beck and call. Of course they have men in the organization, but they don't have 'armies' of men.
@sewagedweller ive been thinking about something.well,i dont know if its a viable theory since the basis of it i heard its not cannon anymore(i dont read 40k books).but if you put togheter what weve talked about and the star child theory,would the imperial cult be feeding not the emperors soul but the part of him fighting stuff in the warp,the starchild?in that way his human part wouldnt create the god,but the essence known as the starchild would,a human Ynnead.you seen to know lore so telll me.
@beastclaw33 well i was looking through slaves of darkness codex , which says that there are good manifestation of daemons , but they dont tend to live long since they lack aggression compared to negative emotions ( imperial saints are an exception ) . And emperor is actually being seriously screwed by inquisition which keeps him in vegetable state and his soul imprisoned , so to enter warp and to reborn he needs to die first .
Once again I agree to that. However with most alliances are built out of convenience instead of permanence, most of it provide both parted with the opportunity to gather information about the enemy and further weaken them in battle scenes.
Wolves are a totally different case. They're part of the Adeptus Astartes/Space Marines which are an entirely different branch from the rest of the listed above. They're one of the many chapters that existed and are one of the original 20 legions of Space Marines founded when the Emperor was still around and kicking.
Now, I'm only just hopping into 40k lore, so I'm not entirely familiar with everything about it; but what that winged Sister/Saint? I didn't read about them in the Sister of Battle Lore.
Sometimes, when a truly pious sister falls in battle, they come back from the dead as almighty avenging angels. They are a bit like demon lords, except they are apparently agents of the emperor. The faith of the sisters is so strong as to be a tangible force on the battlefield and the living saints are the pinnacle of that.
girlwithafunnyhat11 There is certainly a similar element. Orks are all psykers on a minor level and their massed psy energy has direct effects on the battlefield. Sisters all generate faith and that does similar things, but it may be different in that it might be them tapping into the warp presence of the emperor himself and acting more as a guide for that.
girlwithafunnyhat11 They're like manifestations of the Sister's ideal warrior for the Emperor, and supposedly they can go hang out with him when they're not busy cleaving massive swaths of death through my Imperial Guard armies. They also have the irritating habit of never staying dead and buffing those AROUND them into glowy superfaith killing machines.
@jakoson7 not quite .the inquisiton cant have ''men under arms'' so they took sob.and the imperium realised that altought this broke the agreement, they had to have somekind of armed force so they let them.
@HanDynasty26349 Of course. Iron Lore conveniently forgot to make units of the Ordo Hereticus. They conveniently forgot that the Sisters are also the militant arm of the Witchhunters.
This was a cunt of a mission for the Imperial Guard on Hardest. Legit took hours to knock this one over. But thankfully with heavily artillery and tanks and lots of bodies the might of the Imperium won through.
It's weird. Apparently they have real powers yet they are not psykers. It's suggested they really are blessed by the Emperor, who is slowly evolving into a true Warp god.
I was just wondering because the Grey Knights allied with the Daemonhunters while the Sisters allied to the Witch Hunters. I mean shouldn't they be all working together since they pretty much cover the same ground? I was intrigued by the Witch Hunters since most of their infantry are women from the Inquisition and the Ecclesiarchy.
@Lathox That's not ignorance. The Adepta Sororitas never ever question the Ecclesiarchy's dogma and they also respect martyrdom. The more of them die, the stronger they get. Adeptus Astartes are solely dedicated to their Chaptermaster's orders. They're like the Imperium's version of God, Gold and Glory. The Imperial Guard are being bullied in Soulstorm. It's like, "They'll kill us anyway so might as well stand our ground." Give me liberty or give me death.
All I can say is, Hell hath no fury like a woman's scorn. Or in this case, Orkz, Necrons, Eldar, and others have not seen fire like the Sisters of Battle.
Not necessarily. Fire also means area-of-effect damage. That's what I observed in the Sister's weaponry. You'd be surprised that Emperor's Touch, Divine Retribution and Avenging Angels have area-of-effect damage on enemy units. Try it. It's more convenient than flamers, I wager.
What about the Space Wolves. They're a separate faction too I hear. I thought the Sisters were an independent military arm of the One True Ecclesiarchy. The Witch Hunters are a part of Ordo Hereticus too so it could mean the Sisters are a part of it since they belong with the Witch Hunters.
There's also another way called the Acclamation by Adoration which happens if all Sisters, as if inspiration by the holy Emperor, say one Sisters name, aloud, anonymously, loudly and simultaneously.
@RockyX456 yea except its really expensive to get that crical mass of flamers and if you playing aganist sm they can just put their tac sqds on assualt stance and go in cc. Since they will probably be winning in cc there moral will regenerate and sisters r too slow to avoid this, although going flamers phospers in the best route aganist marine in 1v1
The thing I don't get is that all the motives are very similar to the DC ones. I mean the SoBs motive is just like the SMs in DC (great Purge) the Tau's is the IG's from DC (giant cannon)and the IG's is like Tau's from DC (keep the system in the imperium). Now that if you ask me is plain laziness.

I really feel like the 'relics' in this universe are like the one-time-use boosts that grant you bonusses in videogames, where no one uses them for they are simply too precious, even if it would save your entire race on that planet. \_/^^\_/ Gotta admit though, I'd propably do the same.
@BerserkerJohn She is someone who has died but the emperor brought her back. The emperor isn't just some random object of praise that the sisters of battle pray to, he actually does protects them and these are manifested in the acts of faith. There is also some sort of psychic power that is connected to it but its different that the power that chaos uses.
"Sister, what is that?"
"I don't know sister, looks like a big tank"
Guardsman: "IT IS THE BANEBLADE!!!"
"I have yet to find a cinder that was not faithful in its praise to the Emperor." ...is maybe the scariest line in all of DoW 1: here's one who thinks they're on the right side yet wants to turn the galaxy (up to and including the Imperium of Man) into charcoal. Only the silent necrons come close to this worldview...
@Airganoth I hate to be contrary, but you're wrong.
The Orders Militant of the Ordo Hereticus are an all-female branch of the Ordo Hereticus. Only female orphans are accepted into their ranks - just like with the Sisters Hospitaller, etc.
They may fight alongside males and even include males in their standing forces - if the ecclesiarchy demands it - but they are still an all-female sub-faction.
Furthermore, 'Witch Hunter' is simply a colloquial term that refers to Inquisitors; not Sisters.
@QueenAbominae14344 yes, it did count all of them... 1000 space marines versus the world. this included necrons, tau, imperial guard (who misinterpreted what the emporers orders were), chaos, orks, and eldar.
my first thought when i got to this stronghold, 'this is one big kitchen'?
A little to question to the 40k buffs. How does one sister become a living saint ? And what's with the wings ? Do they miraculously grow by themselves ?
never explained properly. My favourite theory is that they are related to Sanguinius, who happened to have both a flaming sword and angel wings. Also sorry for the fast answer
@@Nick154999 Thanks, I've been waiting 12 years for you.
Damn you're quick with these uploads! Keep it up Cheney!
@PrinceEphriam By the way, are you talking about the Dawn of War series: Dark Crusade game??? Or from the novel???
@Lathox I debate to that. Adeptus Custodes brought Alicia Dominica right before the Golden Throne, in front of the Emperor himself. Although we do not know what took place there, it is very obvious that the Emperor knew what was happening. If the Sisters claimed they are the Emperor's Chosen, their Acts of Faith are the basis of their claim.
@Melkhiordarkblade no , imperials use psychers to maintain warp travel and guide ships though
2:10 "Sweet, now lets get to burning these foo- whoa, WHOA, WHOOOAAAAA HOW DO I STOP THIS THING?"
You can just bet that Bishop is having her way with the space nuns.
@Lathox Those are not bells or balls... They're chains or more like incense-chains. You know the one with fragrant incense they use in church?
Tyranids invasion against the SoB stronghold
Selena : Sisters !!! The Tyranids are here. Burn them to ashes and make sure everythings of them dissapear before the Emperor's holy light !!!
SoB : For the Sisterhood ! For the God-Emperor !
Attack against the shrines :
St.Anaïs : Come to me monsters !!! You will burn at the touch of my blade, Great Devourer !!!
Selena : Sisters, the Swarm is near our shrines ! Support the Living Saint with holy fire !
Destruction of the Shrines :
St.Anaïs : My shrines ! They have destroyed my holy shrines !
Selena : We have lost the Inviolable Aura, sisters. But we still stand as the Emperor's purifiers !
End :
Selena : It is time for these xenos creatures to die ! Burn them to the last !!!
@dragonstormx yh i thought as much; from what i can tell they're just a whole army of scout marines (only better) in the respect that they both use bolters and other marine weapons, and they wear heavy armour. As you say, the main difference is the fact that marines are genetically enhanced, whereas the sisters of battle make up for their lack of enhancements with fanatic devotion.
this is all, of course, my interpretation...
I think that priest is voiced by the same guy who did the narration for Dark Crusade...
Canoness Selena's voice is pure badassery :3
@sewagedweller they dont keep intetionally him in a vegetable state,but theres nothig you can do.hes seriously injuired and the golden throne is broken.are you talking about the starchild theory?anyway would that make the emperor a warp god?
So, in the end the Sisters were right, and the Imperial Guard was in fact under the influence of Chaos...but still, kind of stupid that they were so extreme towards their own allies.
@Andri474 - So is the Avatar of Khaine. Technically, they ARE creatures born of the Warp, but yes I love the irony too
I'm sorry, but it just doesn't hold a candle to "Enemies of the Imperium, hear me. You have come here to die. The Immortal Emperor is with us and we are invincible. His soldiers will strike you down. His warmachines will crush you under their treads. His mighty guns will bring the very sky crashing down upon you. You cannot win."
The CC captions are legendary...
That sounds like probable dialogue. Can you do some more involving the S.O.B and some other factions?
I really wish that Soulstorm had banter between the faction leaders.
@Airganoth Even then, the Ordo Hereticus doesn't really field armies except for armies unaffiliated Imperial armies they request - demand - to follow their lead, but they don't really have any armies of their own - except for the Order Militant of the Adeptus Sororitas.
They do have specialized troops, like Inquisitorial Stormtroopers and the like, but they don't really have their own armies at beck and call.
Of course they have men in the organization, but they don't have 'armies' of men.
@sewagedweller ive been thinking about something.well,i dont know if its a viable theory since the basis of it i heard its not cannon anymore(i dont read 40k books).but if you put togheter what weve talked about and the star child theory,would the imperial cult be feeding not the emperors soul but the part of him fighting stuff in the warp,the starchild?in that way his human part wouldnt create the god,but the essence known as the starchild would,a human Ynnead.you seen to know lore so telll me.
@beastclaw33 well i was looking through slaves of darkness codex , which says that there are good manifestation of daemons , but they dont tend to live long since they lack aggression compared to negative emotions ( imperial saints are an exception ) . And emperor is actually being seriously screwed by inquisition which keeps him in vegetable state and his soul imprisoned , so to enter warp and to reborn he needs to die first .
Once again I agree to that. However with most alliances are built out of convenience instead of permanence, most of it provide both parted with the opportunity to gather information about the enemy and further weaken them in battle scenes.
@MGGoblin I thought the armor they wore was power armor?
@Lathox lol yeah the emperors on life support. isnt his body like not even there and its just his mind or something? im not that familiar with it.
0:24 SHE GOT BIG GUNS!
For you
Big 'uns.
Darth Whillmar She's a big girl.
i dont know why but i love when she said "soooooo"
Wolves are a totally different case. They're part of the Adeptus Astartes/Space Marines which are an entirely different branch from the rest of the listed above. They're one of the many chapters that existed and are one of the original 20 legions of Space Marines founded when the Emperor was still around and kicking.
this mission was hard when played with space marines :D
+scout the heretic Nah, you just had to use Terminators for the infantry and Space Marines Squads with Rocket Launchers for vehicles. Pretty easy.
ANGRY FUCKING -DREADNOUGHT I would like to do dis campaign in ultimate apocalypse mod :P
***** HELL YEAH!
ANGRY FUCKING -DREADNOUGHT Terminators are so op now XD They got like a 31k hp in patch 1.84...
Now, I'm only just hopping into 40k lore, so I'm not entirely familiar with everything about it; but what that winged Sister/Saint? I didn't read about them in the Sister of Battle Lore.
Sometimes, when a truly pious sister falls in battle, they come back from the dead as almighty avenging angels. They are a bit like demon lords, except they are apparently agents of the emperor. The faith of the sisters is so strong as to be a tangible force on the battlefield and the living saints are the pinnacle of that.
***** Oh, so they operate on the same levels as the Orks and their beliefs! That makes a lot more sense now! Thanks.
girlwithafunnyhat11 There is certainly a similar element. Orks are all psykers on a minor level and their massed psy energy has direct effects on the battlefield. Sisters all generate faith and that does similar things, but it may be different in that it might be them tapping into the warp presence of the emperor himself and acting more as a guide for that.
girlwithafunnyhat11 They're like manifestations of the Sister's ideal warrior for the Emperor, and supposedly they can go hang out with him when they're not busy cleaving massive swaths of death through my Imperial Guard armies. They also have the irritating habit of never staying dead and buffing those AROUND them into glowy superfaith killing machines.
@PrinceEphriam Were there Tyranids???
the living saint is the sister of Sanguinius(Blood Angels primarch) both have wings?
@jakoson7 not quite .the inquisiton cant have ''men under arms'' so they took sob.and the imperium realised that altought this broke the agreement, they had to have somekind of armed force so they let them.
@HanDynasty26349 Of course. Iron Lore conveniently forgot to make units of the Ordo Hereticus. They conveniently forgot that the Sisters are also the militant arm of the Witchhunters.
LOOK A SAINT, BOW DOWN!
...
*vroom vroom* in background

This was a cunt of a mission for the Imperial Guard on Hardest. Legit took hours to knock this one over. But thankfully with heavily artillery and tanks and lots of bodies the might of the Imperium won through.
Those flametrower rino's remind me of the laggy pyro. Lol
It's weird. Apparently they have real powers yet they are not psykers. It's suggested they really are blessed by the Emperor, who is slowly evolving into a true Warp god.
Giving new meaning to the term "Flame war".
I was just wondering because the Grey Knights allied with the Daemonhunters while the Sisters allied to the Witch Hunters. I mean shouldn't they be all working together since they pretty much cover the same ground? I was intrigued by the Witch Hunters since most of their infantry are women from the Inquisition and the Ecclesiarchy.
@CorneliusGrim It makes her stand out in a crowd. And serves as personal heater in cold seasons. =)
Yeah. How do you fit that with 20 squad and 20 vehicle cap? *smirks*
@Lathox That's not ignorance. The Adepta Sororitas never ever question the Ecclesiarchy's dogma and they also respect martyrdom. The more of them die, the stronger they get. Adeptus Astartes are solely dedicated to their Chaptermaster's orders. They're like the Imperium's version of God, Gold and Glory. The Imperial Guard are being bullied in Soulstorm. It's like, "They'll kill us anyway so might as well stand our ground." Give me liberty or give me death.
All I can say is, Hell hath no fury like a woman's scorn. Or in this case, Orkz, Necrons, Eldar, and others have not seen fire like the Sisters of Battle.
Not necessarily. Fire also means area-of-effect damage. That's what I observed in the Sister's weaponry. You'd be surprised that Emperor's Touch, Divine Retribution and Avenging Angels have area-of-effect damage on enemy units. Try it. It's more convenient than flamers, I wager.
that does explain the giant open air furnace they cook themselves in when they lose
What about the Space Wolves. They're a separate faction too I hear. I thought the Sisters were an independent military arm of the One True Ecclesiarchy. The Witch Hunters are a part of Ordo Hereticus too so it could mean the Sisters are a part of it since they belong with the Witch Hunters.
There's also another way called the Acclamation by Adoration which happens if all Sisters, as if inspiration by the holy Emperor, say one Sisters name, aloud, anonymously, loudly and simultaneously.
@RockyX456 yea except its really expensive to get that crical mass of flamers and if you playing aganist sm they can just put their tac sqds on assualt stance and go in cc. Since they will probably be winning in cc there moral will regenerate and sisters r too slow to avoid this, although going flamers phospers in the best route aganist marine in 1v1
The thing I don't get is that all the motives are very similar to the DC ones. I mean the SoBs motive is just like the SMs in DC (great Purge) the Tau's is the IG's from DC (giant cannon)and the IG's is like Tau's from DC (keep the system in the imperium). Now that if you ask me is plain laziness.
Six Battle Sister Squad all with Missionaries attached, two Sister Repentia Squads with a Canoness and a Confessor, two Seraphim Squads.
