Give me a quick rundown of the differences between the Sisters of Silence and the Sisters of Battle

Give me a quick rundown of the differences between the Sisters of Silence and the Sisters of Battle.

>Silence
Anti-psykers organised by the Emperor, equipped with crazy gear. Extremely powerful.

>Battle
Ecclesiarchy-organised female warrior army equipped with high-quality gear, created solely to exploit a loophole that the Ecclesiarchy couldn't maintain "men under arms".
Use lots of fire and flamers. No psykers, no nulls. Highly puritan.
Have a bunch of other related wings which do stuff from maintain gene-purity, match-making for Nobles, battlefield medical services, and records-keeping.

>Sisters of Silence
Cool
>Sisters of Battle
Less cool but still cool

One moans when you rape her, the other doesn't.

You'd rape one, you wouldn't rape the other* (*unless you are a blank).

You underestimate my dick

Just hope you brought burn salve, they tend to hide flamer pistols inside you know where.

>no nulls.
why? You'd think that the ecclesiarchy would fight tooth and nail for anything that can be useful against witches.

Bequin worked as a prostitute, tho.

I'll wear a nomex condom just in case.

She must have been a really weak null, or I guess people can take it in small doses.

Nulls are soulless.

and?

They are soulless mutants by all accounts. And the Eccly preaches about the joys of being a healthy human with a healthy soul.

If anything, they are very pragmatic. You don't see them refusing navigators or astropaths.
Also, doesn't the soulless bit comes from the eldar, that are a completely psy-active race?

Get Emperor brand condoms.

The emperor protects.

Nulls and Pariahs are recruited by the ecclesiarchy- they call that group the sisters of silence. Both because they only communicate nonverbaly, and because they "silence" psykers.

Supposedly created by the Necrons, but this may have been retconned, not sure.

I'm pretty sure the sisters of silence go back to the great crusade and ahave no relationship with the church.

Checked the wiki. My mistake on the politics, but they are witch hunters so there is some overlap, plus their symbol incorporates the ][ typically seen on inquisitors.

Also: while greatly reduced in numbers during the age of apostasy, apparently Rowboat Gillman is bringing them back.

...

SoB: Warrior-nuns
SoS: Custodes waifus

And the Emperor sayeth...

>equipped with crazy gear
what kind of cvrazy gear?

He knows what to do, imagine armies upon armies of nulls to fight the forces of chaos, they would be the imperiums greatest weapon

"The Virgin SoBs":
>founded thousands of years after the heresy by the Ecclesiarchy, Guilliman doesn't recognise them
>reason for being all-female is in-universe RAWfagging
>made up of baseline humans recruited by the Ecclesiarchy
>thots who dye their hair anime colours and get tattoos to be kawaii
>bunch of jobbers who push Emperor-worship because they're told to
>constant autistic screeching about muh Emprah
>Grey Knights use their blood as paint and they're outshone in every way by the Black Templars
The Stacies of Silence:
>work directly for the Emperor in 30k, indirectly for the Inquisition in 40k, directly for Guilliman in 41k
>reason for being all-female obscure and implied to be grimdark (where did all the male nulls go?)
>made up of super-rare mutants from across the galaxy with extremely valuable psychic powers
>shaved heads emphasise the inhumanity that defines them, and their ritualised life of secret sacrifice fighting the darkest powers in the galaxy
>doesn't talk, automatic pleb-filter because you have to have a high IQ to understand their sign language
>worship the Emperor even when no one forces them to and they have no souls
>best bros with the Custodes, appreciated as strategic forces by the highest level of space marine commanders

Bless, Lutherniel, he is one of the Emperors Finest.

One has plastic models.

The Astronomican needs 1000 fresh psykers a day, rogue psykers can ruin entire star systems and the emperium needs to keep the astra telepathica running as well as a lot of other stuff to be able to communicate. The sisters of silence can nullify almost any psyker just due to being near them, so they operate the black ships which collect the psyker tithe from every imperial world every 7 years. They are not small in number, it's just that very few of them are unoccupied enough to be used in wars as nulls are extremely rare to begin with. On top of that, while extremely skillful and enhanced, they are still regular human woman in every other aspect so fighting against regular forces and astartes would be a huge waste of their specialty. The only reason they were used against the 1k sons was because every single one of them was a psyker.

Horus Heresy book 10 has a Sisters of Silence novel in it, 10 is a collection of shorter stories.

Aiii pretty sick burn bro, even Saint Celestine can't cure that

I'm pretty sure the SoS don't do blackships anymore, since Rowbutt found them again in M42.
Unless there's been yet another retcon in the last months.

Also, the league of blackships is the second most important fleet after the IN, so they shouldn't have enough blanks to form a decent security detail on every ship. And Inq stormtroopers and SoBs are employed in black ships.

Ouch!

>Sisters of Silence
Super soldiers almost on the level of custodes created by possibly the Emprah himself with little knowledge about their fully backstory. They are specialzed against psychic threats they areall blanks meaning they have insane anti psychic power, that combined with their insane wargear that also presumably rivals the custodes make them a nightmare against psychic attuned enemies. They also never speak and use sign language to communicate. Also they are very few in number and mostly disappeared from the main stage of 40k after Horus heresy and only exist in the background

Pic related two sisters of Silence beside Leman Russ. Sources say that Russ was roughly 14 feet tall, meaning even if we discard the perspective of the picture and the those two SoS just reach Russ' shoulders that mean the SoS are also literally colossal women of at least 10 feet height.

>Sisters of Battle
Regular women in large numbers, an entire army and other non militant organisations owned by the High Lords of Terra. Wearing high tier wargear and while being regular people they have such insane faith in the Emperor that it literally gives them superpowers on occasions when the plot demands it.

;_;

Sororitas are nuns with weapons, they are basically Storm Troppes, so instead of suicidal proficiency they have pure religious fanaticism, along with equipment of the Astarte level, they are human

Sisters of Silence, they're the emperor's bodyguard, they make the average space marine look like a little bitch, they're all blanks, I do not know what the fuck they are, just like Custodes only the emperor really knows

>owned by the High Lords of Terra
technically owned by the Ecclesiarch (from the ecclesiarchy), but that didn't prevent them from beheading one, so they're pretty much independant.

How can one post be so wrong?

No official psykers, anyway. Living saints are daemons of the Emperor of mankind, and sort of psykers.

They don't tend to live long anyway.

I don't know how they can go toe-to-toe with Space Marines even if they are allegedly trained to the same level of them unlike the SOB, they don't even wear proper power armor like the SOB.

most humans are low level psykers. Faith is a collective manifestation of psy powers.

They got light armor so they gan do acrobatics.
On the other hand it's not sealed and can't run for long periods of time.

Also probably drugs

Sisters of silence are likely genetically enhanced just like the Custodes and space marines considering in the few artworks they are depicted on they are shown to be the size equal of a Space Marine which simply cannot be natural or normal as we all know Space Marines are easily much taller and physically superior to normal humans. It is just that we do not know how and to what extent they are enhanced, in fact in contrast to the creation of the Astartes we know very little about it because the lore on them is extremely limited. Their wargear is said to be "second only to the Custodes" which means that their gear should be better than standard SOB gear but again no details are mentioned besides that they are personalized and tuned for their anti-psychic abilities. Although one thing we do know for certain is that their armor is not environmentally saleable which is really fucking stupid.

>created solely to exploit a loophole that the Ecclesiarchy couldn't maintain "men under arms"
is that really how they came to be? because i love that

Technically yes, although the SOB did exist before that in their own loose organizations but yes that is the part that made them an official state registered institution.

underrated post

Also why they have boob-plates.

Nulls that are identified tend to be collected by either the Sisters themselves or the Officio Assassinorum.

They're also just rare as hell.

Because men can't wear boob plates, it would look funny on men.

Because that is cool.

I mean it's the in-universe reason why they wear boob-plates. Theirs is an all female army and they make sure everyone is aware.

Female armor on men in Mount & blade confirms the hilarity of this

Something about being threatened by a manly man in a dress with padded tits.

Good job.

Fuck off trip cock sucker.
Go back to your containment thread.

>shittalking about Shas'o, one of the few of the old homebrewers and sauce providers from the old guard
Stop it, newfag, Shas has done a lot for this board in terms of promoting it's core conceit.

Fuck off, i was here 6 fucking years ago.
This board was rife with cancerous trip-fags.
Only way trip fags can contribute to this board is by killing themselves.
If you are not using trips for its intented purposes you deserve to be shit down your throat.

There are ways to 'block' the null effect, turning it off. It allows them to pass as regular, if slighly unsettling, humans. It doesn't fully work on higher level nulls though

>herp derp /b/ shit
If you have been here so long, then you should know the difference between the shit and those who put the work in.
I guess newfagness isn't measured in years, but how long it takes for you to leave the /b/v/ shit behind.

Reminder that Valerian/Aelya is best couple.

>Nulls and Pariahs are recruited by the ecclesiarchy- they call that group the sisters of silence. Both because they only communicate nonverbaly, and because they "silence" psykers.

no...just no...

Also, nulls and Pariahs are considered witches and mutants in their own rights by the for fanatical members of the Imperium, so the Ecclesiarchy hates them

It usually takes a bionic implant, that Bequin didn't have (since she wasn't even aware that she was blank). I suppose her clients were just blunt.

The ecclesiarchy is even less of a coherent organisation than the rest of the Imperium, since every cardinal basically has full powers on his planet outside of raising taxes. So I expect a lot of variation. And nulls will never be considered witches.

Nulls don't play well with others.

The Decree Passive states that the Ecclesiarchy can have no men-under-arms.

Funnily enough, the Sisters were a small cult until Goge Vandire convinced them that he was the rightful ruler of the Imperium. They managed to take over the Imperial Palace and hold off three space marine chapters for a month until the Custodes brought their leader before the Emperor’s throne.

...

>They managed to take over the Imperial Palace
"they" were backed up the the fraeteris templars and the bulk of the officio assassinorum

the vandire thing was FAR larger than just the brides of the emperor

the amount of hair and talking

I wish they were supersoldiers. since prior to the books they were listed as some genetic mystery. And even in their fluff they go toe to toe against daemons and marines too.

Their stats are garbage for some ultra elite army but ironically are good at being cost effective super specialists.

Even blanks hate one another.

That's fucking impossible. The *only* reason that normies hate on them is cause blanks have on effect on(or fuck with) the souls of those around them. Blanks have no fucking presence in the warp, at least not a positive one and so would be unaffected by each other.

Theirs is the true path of humanity.

Do the SoS ever get used other than to give the Wolves a chance against the TSons?

I assume they are useful standing next to custodes as they fight the demons flooding in

They're meant to be specialists, they have one job, but they do it very well

Oh yeah to war in the webway. Still it seems they kind of just exist to fuck over the TSons?

>They're meant to be specialists, they have one job, but they do it very well
That's not how their fluff plays them out. Going toe to toe with superhumans and demons.

Don't get me wrong they are really good at being specialists. But as one of the talons of the Emperor they probably could have used some unique gear and some genetic buffs to really give them their own flavor besides "magic bubble shield".

Both of them suck.

I wish Gw would get rid of SOBs

Your samefag is showing brah!

One has a nice ponytail handle while doggyfucking them

The other doesn't

What is that? Is it canon?

The Custodes should have taken better care of their little sisters.
They allowed their combat effective be reduced by half.

Headshot.
