Why should one cling so tightly to their interpretation of the fluff when it is pretty clear that the people writing aren't all that concerned with it's accuracy?

Valete,

Not all. Grey Knights cannot be corrupted.

Because it's more enjoyable to me this way? As for who decides definitively, everyone does that for themselves anyway so it's a moot point. When two sources conflict, it's not like GW gives a damn enough to say which one is right, so the reader does it for them.

You can decide for yourself all you want, but it's not right to push your belief on what is and isn't authentic onto others and present it as fact. Especially since, by your own logic, chaos sisters is perfectly legitimate.

If you don't want people to "push their beliefs" on you then cut your internet connection, your phoneline, and lock yourself in your home. This is a forum, a forum is designed for discussion, discussion means people will state their beliefs, which inevitably means they will argue for them.

I got Sisters of Battle in my Traitor Guard they are my Special Weapons teams and they are Khorne worshipers and they get no bonuses they just look cool.

stating your beliefs and posing your opinions as absolute fact are two completely different things. Especially when your justifications for your opinions are weak.

Your justification for BL being a non-authentic source is that it sometimes contradicts itself or other GW sources. However, as was pointed out by saint hazard, the codexes and rulebooks often contradict themselves as well. So, only when you say that there is no authentic source of information can you say that Black Library is any less authentic than any other source.

Good thing I never did that.

Ahem. Not that I care, but you kinda did. Let's keep it real here.

I stated my opinion, and nothing more. If you wish to read more into my posts than is there, that is your problem.

edit: I should not have to say "in my opinion" in EVERY SINGLE DAMN POST I MAKE. This is a forum on the internet. That my posts are opinions should be obvious.

Believe me, they are.

You might want to take it down a notch now.

Sure you have. You've been saying the whole time how chaos sisters don't follow the fluff based on what you think is canon. Just based on your belligerent tone alone, I can't believe for a second that this was just "oh well, I don't really think that follows the authentic story of 40k" as opposed to "NO! This doesn't follow the story of 40k and any evidence or logic that you have that says otherwise will be completely ignored because I say it isn't canon."

It's pointless to continue this back and forth though since your justification for regular SoB's being a playable army also justified chaos SoB's anyway. Your entire position on everything thus far has been contradicted by what you've said.

Just as a heads up, you'll notice I've stopped arguing with her.

1) It's useless, she's never going to back down, the best you'll get is a convenient reinterpretation of your own words so that her own argument still stands. She loves straw people.

2) It's eventually going to get you into trouble, and thus not worth it.

Give it up dude. You're right, we all know you are, but you'll never hear it from her.

Also as a heads up, if the personal remarks continue, there will be action taken.


Is it really such a big deal if someone disagrees with you on the background story for your toy soldiers?

Stick to the topic, and leave the other posters alone.

I think we all need to go outside... and pet a kitty.

Also just for the record a single sister of battle is the only DOCUMENTED one fallen to chaos. One can only imagine what would happen if a noise marine went into a coven of young virgins.


Giggity.

Get mercilessly slaughtered because those "virgins" have boltguns, flamers, and meltaguns?

I think you take this stuff a lil too seriously mate...

Or maybe I find the idea of a noise marine going to a Sisters convent and being blasted all to hell amusing?

Oh they'd be the ones being blasted, if you follow my ribald analogy.

With the guts and innards of the noise marine, obviously.

Bowchikabowwow.

hi guys calm down its only toy soldiers.

if the guys wants to have perverted sisters of battle thats his problem, khorne might work better but he's got a vision of an army he wants to convert and model so leave him be. personaly i wanted a unit of sisters on bikes but got shot down by my friends stating it would be a unit of dykes on bikes which got a few laughs back when they first came out.

personly i want a picture or two of work in progress (wait that sounds perverted,,,,,, dammit)

Is that a noiseblaster in your pocket or are you just planning on sacrificing us to your dark god of perversion?

Badum-tsh

My blast master... it wants you to touch it.
