Yeah, 700 vs 12 is the sort of odds that only works if you're a Space Marine (but at most only 3 will be living at the end typically).

I haven't read FireBorn yet. Is it in a book as a short story, or a separate novel?

Its a Salamanders audio-novel. In it the sisters supposedly

I figure there is more to the story than this, but I hear its not too popular with sisters fans.

They may be able to do that with the guard, but why would they need to do it with sisters ? Some of them know about chaos space marines and daemons. In Faith and Fury I think the main character mentions the traitor Thousand Sons homeworld of Prospero as being dragged into the warp in a discussion. They are also quite aware of what Warp Entities are in the story.

Mind wiping is a process that is resource heavy, and can leave you a vegetable often enough that a bolt round does the job better for cheaper. They do it to Marines because Marines are fewer in number, more valuable and generally durable enough to make mind wiping less of a potential issue for them.

Not anymore. They took away the fun Apocalypse formation.

In the new sisters codex they retcon out the blood purity talisman shenanigans. Apparently they are martyred this time around by the blood-tide. In the Grey Knights codex it makes no mention of the sisters at all oddly enough.

That was only in the old and new Grey Knight's codex and the new version of that story completely retcons out any mention of the sisters.

That doesn't mean that they will still do it in the Fluff

? YAY ?

Not really sure if I'd paint/play them BUT would really like to see them get a decent proper treatment. New/updated units and vehicles, proper codex. Quit fking around GW and get it sorted. They have a large following and need to be done properly in plastic. Big Ýay' from this fella

I would be happy with plastic Sisters that match the metals in size and style. Really, I don't need anything more than that. Even snap fits like the starter marines.

New units, new stuff, I don't care. Just get the base model in plastic and cheap.
