for a scenario that will see a sororitas strike force rescuing there sisters from the enemy. im looking for inspiration for special rules and background info,
why would nurgle,khorne,tzeentch,slaanesh capture them and what would they do to them. besides sacrificing them. and what would other races do with battle sister prisoners and what would there tortures and prisons look like for the terrain I mean tzeentch might use a maze to stop them escaping ,nurgle might drop the sisters in quick slime so the more they struggle the more there sucked in ect. how can these effects be shown on a table. use your imagination, thank you.

Why only Sisters?

Yeah, why assume they would do something different to a guardsman.

This thread may go to interesting places.

I can't remember the rules on what you can say on here, but... If Slaanesh captured them? Well, have you seen A Serbian Film?

A Sister would likely be seen as a bigger prize by Chaos forces, since they're so devoted to the Emperor, as well as being potent symbols of the Imperial Creed. That could result in different treatment towards them.

I feel a disturbance in the Warp...

I hear that. I'd really rather not actually answer this question in detail, I'm pretty sure anyone that did would get banned...

Khorne: Sacrificed to the Blood God.

Tzeentch: Turned into a Spawn/Corrupted/Let go/Shot/Mutated

Nurgle: Infected with a disease.

Slaanesh: Turned into some horrible piece of art.

Okay so to move away from all the implications of rape and sodomy, etc. . .

Perhaps a scientist is doing trial runs on a new interrogation serum of sorts that has to be tested on the most devoted individuals and he specifically requested Sisters to try and break.

Oh Throne why? Horrible piece of art.... (if anybody ever played the cat lady it's a pretty perfect depiction of one of the possible things slaanesh would do)

I did have an image of the Sisters being paraded around in grotesque bridal outfits as they were originally the Brides of the Emperor. I rather think that at least Slaanesh would find it hilarious to make them his brides instead.

Though a Sister could probably resist those things. Their faith lets them resist warp trickery.

Soon a fate far worse than death at the hands of the plague visited itself upon the unfortunates of Subiaco Diablo. Those who had succumbed to the contagion rose once again, in the form of hideously decayed zombies, their recently dead flesh sloughing from their shuffling forms as they fell upon the survivors.

Throughout the plague, the Sisters of the Ermine Mantle remained unaffected, not one of the Sisters being afflicted by it. None that is, except for Sister Anastasia.

And the Sister who does get affected by it eventually overcomes it, by the way.

Chaos Undivided: Mark with Chaos symbols

Khorne: Decapitate

Nurgle: Infect

Tzeetch: Mutate

Slaanesh:

Orks: Enslave or Kill

Tau: Either kill or imprison untill they join the Empire

Kroot: Eat

Tyranids: Eat

Necrons: Kill or use as an infiltrator via Mindshackle Scarabs

Eldar: Kill

Dark Eldar: Torture and imprison, while doing unspeakable things to them. I think there used to be some female slave models in the DE range. Maybe they are captured Sisters?

Orks would just stick them in a cage till supper time.
"Meats back on the menu boys!"

Because he wants to write a story with Sisters as the captives. He never suggested something different would happen to Guardsmen. They just wouldn't present in his story.

Sisters of battle are my favourite army to play with followed closely by imperial guard

If you're wondering about the Chaos Gods themselves, I'd recommend picking up the Chaos Codex. It actually paints a picture of the Ruinous Powers strongholds like Tzeentch's Eternal Maze, Khorne's Brass Throne, Nurgle's Manse, and Slaanesh's 8 Circles of Hell, or whatever.

I think it's more accurate to say, what would happen if their servants, the Chaos Space Marines got a hold of some Sisters for a while. How would the scenery look and what are the Cultist Marines likely to do to draw favor.

And that is pretty exotic. There are such practices as tearing the skin from the palms of hands, ripping off peoples faces and nailing them to servitors metal faces, hanging their bodies over hell-fire to be consumed wholly while they are still "alive", etc. etc.

Ahriman puts it best: "As if there were limits to the imagination of atrocity."

Ofc, capturing a Sister alive is not always the best idea.

I recall some half-page story of a little shrine somewhere getting attacked by Dark Eldar raiders entering through a Webway Portal carried by the Archon. A retired Canoness and four Sisters guarded the shrine, not exactly a force to stop a full raid with. One of the Sisters took a holy relic from the vaults, dumped her armor and dressed in light robes so the Dark Eldar would capture her intead of shooting first. She was predictably picked up and also put on the Archon's Raider. After the raiders formed up for a return home she detonated the Vortex grenade, taking out the Archon, the only means to get home and a good chunk of the Dark Eldar force. The rest were hunted down over a period of months after some Space Marines arrived to help.

Don't ask where she hid the Vortex grenade.

Well, first, I'd be willing to bet they'd HERESY! *BLAM* until the sisters were too weak to resist the inevitable HERESY! VILE HERESY! *BLAM BLAM* .

I'm guessing it rhymes with grape. Lots and lots of grape. At least virtually all US servicewomen who have been captured have been raped. I don't see why it would be that different 41,000 years from now.

A pretty small number when women are more likely to be assaulted by a fellow soldier than killed in combat. 19000 cases a year.

Right, well less than 10 women have been captured since WW2...

And the 19000 cases number is complete BS. That was a self reported survey (aka the least statistically accurate) whose paper trail can't actually be documented by the IG, which used the weasel words 'sexual assault' which in DoD parlance includes all cases of sexual harrasment as well. Hell in congress the JCOS couldn't even say if the number was DoD wide, OR the actual uniformed service. That shows how reliable that data is. The entire victimhood campaign with this sexual assault nonsense is clearly transparent... By labeling everything from a creeper hitting on them to violent gangrape under the umbrella term 'sexual assault' AND including all the male victims (who, btw in the real world far outnumber the female victims) in the count they can induce gullible people into believing that their is a higher rate of brutal rape in the military than there is say, inside a supermax prison or the backstreets of Cuidad Juarez. If you had to sit through ONE of those idiotic SAPR classes while the JAG bloviated about sketchy statistical models used to prop up an obvious political move inside the Pentagon you would roll your eyes so hard they would screw right out and roll around on the deck.

I know you aren't in the service, since you actually believe that horse piss.

In service to the Imperial Guard? :O

Lol Inspector General. Although It would be cool if they wore those Krieg Quartermaster uniforms. Kinda fitting for their job description too.

Doesn't sound right. Don't see SoB surrendering to enemy forces. Bit to fanatical for that happen. Knocked out I can see.

Chaos forces = sacrifice to da Gods
Tau = left alone
Necron = Assimilate....sounds familiar with another race..
Eldar = Blade in the back or front
Dark Eldar = One heck of a show...or something really really evil if worked on by a Hermoucali
Orks = FDA grade A meat

I would imagine the SoB to be the suicide-before-surrender type. I'm more interested on why the strike force sees the captured sisters as worth saving.

Huron Blackheart captured a Cannoness of the Order of the Iron Rose and used her to bait a Sorcerer into enslaving his soul to a bottle that would feed the Hymadrya.

So the Sisters aren't too devout to be sacrificed to the Chaos Gods. In fact, it's suggested that it happens all to frequently actually and that Chaos "has a taste" for the Emperor's Daughters, since they seem to be the most devout of the bunch.

The real question is what is the goal of Chaos for this mission? What are they after? If you don't have that then why are you jumping ahead to what Chaos would be trying to do to them if you don't have a reason for them to be there?

Honestly corrupting/controlling them/breaking the wills of mortals so they serve Chaos is always an option. Possesion is a common favorite, as is tricking the mortals into harming themselves or others. Be creative and don't get too fixated on any one specific army, ideally you'd honestly want the option to use this with any army vs Chaos and if you do it well then you can.

The sisters themselves may not be worth saving. However, any data core or some such thing that might happen to be in their possession at the time of their capture very well could be worth everything to protect/retrieve. In that light, if its Chaos that has done the capturing, whomever is being sent in to do the rescuing/retrieving is probably under order to irradicate any survivors and not even bother with the rescue part. Them being tainted in all. In fact that may be why the sisters are being held hostage in the first place. Some upstart chaos lord got the data, but can't read it, and is now finding all sorts of interesting ways of getting the sisters willing to translate it for him. Dead sisters can't reveal secrets. But turned/tortured sisters just might, and if not, it would be amusing to see them crack in the first place.
