As large as a Dreadnought. He's got a model after all.

The series is absolutely awesome. It's the political games and insights into the inner workings on terra that have me hooked. Super series so far, book one would be the poorest one by a good bit which is unfortunate.

Have the Sisters of Silence turned up yet?

I heard they were in it and wondered how they were portrayed etc as they and what happened to them is quite an elusive subject in 40k.

That's the beauty of this series. As long as the Sisters of Silence are gone by about m33, these authors can make up almost anything.

And that applies to basically all facets of the background. We have so little information about what went on in this era that they effectively have a blank slate to work with as long as it keeps the over-arching setting in mind. It barely even has to get big details right.
