Valkyries are not general Imperial, they are Imperial Navy only. They are exactly the same as Avenger Strike Fighters and Emperor class battleships.

Some IG regiment have their own Valkyries.

Yeah, it sounds like a fan-theory that's taken root and become "fact", to me. Like how people said the Templars weren't religious.

I've seen people claim that an SoB flyer would "break the fluff", and these same people often just disregard 2e fluff saying the Sisters had ships as "too old". It looks to me like us getting a flyer would be no real transgression against the fluff, really. The starship thing aside, as a large military force, the Sisters would really need access to flyers.

Funny is it not.......its ok to crowbar in fug ugly Astartes flyers that go against the fluff AND are horrible looking....

Now I did like that the Valkyrie was orginally rare in the fluff - but it looks awesome so its fine

I have one painted in Sororitas colours all ready to fly

oh and I want my Codex now!!!!!!!!!!!!

See, we totally need a thread to start exchanging cool soundtrack ideas for the Sisters of Battle movie....

Don't start me thinking about the divine Kate Beckinsale kicking ass as a Sister - oh wait...........

I have already bought tickets to this movie and it doesn't exist yet.

I'd like them to point out where it was ever retconned. In the only place that talks about the Ecclesiarchy armies and fleets being disbanded during Thor's reforms, the SoB are said to be the exception. Sure, one could say they only count as an army. One could also say they count as both.

Also, how the hell are our Seraphim supposed to Deep-Strike without a flyer to airlift them? It's Jump Packs, not Jet Packs!

I can see her swinging a power maul and bellowing scripture. I approve!

Not sure if Kate would be up for running around shooting stuff - oh wait she is awesome at it -

Kate and Rhona - together they kill heretics - oh and I am sure Kate's husband would be up for making the movie - I dont suppose anyone knows them

Oh how about Emily Booth



This probably does deserve its own thread tbh

Too bad that this movie's aesthetic is so cheesy (opinion) and it's plot is so stupidly bad (fact !!!).

Please don't diss one of my favourite movie series ever.............seriously I love them.

Opinion is one thing - but fact it ain't

That seems like a movie I'd want to watch .

Hey I'll set up a thread for it

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/558329.page

Can a mod please change the thread title into "Anything but the Adepta Sororitas Digital Codex" as no poster seems to care about the original topic anymore?

We can't talk about the actual Codex as its not out yet and there are Zero bits of leeked info :(

So anyone hope Matrydom does not mean that you replace the dead Cannoness with St Celestine!

It's a discussion forum. You'd complain if we made a thread for every line of thought, and you complain if we keep it all in one place. Go find your own thread.

That'd be awesome to be honest.

Chaos get Spawns.. we get Celestine whenever a Cannoness dies.

Can you stop making it worse by adding to the off-topicness?

I've got my fingers crossed that the Evicerator makes it into the Melee wargear list.

I would have thought it would

Having the the one shot Redemptionists Exteminator flame tube would be fun

Also the Null Rod would be a nice one

Can I remove my own posts ?

We aint Witch Hunters anymore, we're just the army of the Church. Anti-Psycher stuff would make no sense these days, so no Null Rods.

Not so! Sisters still kill witches! And the big rulebook claims we still work with the Ordos Hereticus so...yeah.

Yeah, work with... They are the personal army of the Ecclesiarch. Sometimes they work for the Inquisition. Sometimes Space Marines and Imperial Guard do too, but they ain't Witch Hunters either. I am not saying they don't kill witches, the background is just much better if they are able to stand on their own as a legitimate fighting force without leaning on the Inquisition.

Didn't they use one in one of the Sisters novels?

If it wasn't on the melee wargear list… where would it be ? Certainly not on the shooting wargear list. Or maybe you can now throw your eviscerators with an eviscerator-thrower ! Or use squirrels to ride eviscerators into the enemy !

Adamantium will still makes perfect sense, though.

Space Marines serve on Death Watch and still fight Xenos...and Guard are basically everyone's lackies.

That said, Sisters can and do root out heresy in all it's forms on a regular basis even without the Inquisition, this means dealing with psykers from time to time too (not to mention fighting them in Wars of Faith too), so having access to anti-psyker weapons would be more prudent than not.

Locked away to unit specific entries like GW has done before.

Conversations diverge sometimes. Not like there's much else to say about the Digital Codex right now anyway. We picked apart all of the information we got on it.

Don't worry, I gurantee that tomorrow night, we will be discussing the Digital Codex in extreme detail.

That'd be an... interesting fluff change. Celestine now appears by emerging from slain Sisters.

I'm really hoping it gets a points reduction too. A reduction of 10 would be nice, like the Rosarius. Then I can be miore justified in fielding my Canoness with one.
