Seraphim Squad

"They appear upon the field of battle, the suns are their halos and their arms are the Emperor’s judgement. I welcome their arrival as the number of executions I must perform decreases significantly.” –Commissar Cadet Vectili

Sisters of Battle who take to the skies on wings of fire. Stirring the hearts (and loins) of faithful men and turning the fortunes of the battlefield to the favour of the Imperium.

Such is their reputation that faithful allied Imperial Commanders will even time their assaults to coincide with the arrival of the Seraphim's in order to give the biggest morale boost possible.

History and Selection

Seraphim fight in the "Ancient Way" and are traditionally armed with a Jump Pack and a pair of bolt pistols as standard. This method was said to be handed down from the original Daughters of the Emperor on San Leor and probably says a lot about what the Sisters used to be like before the Thorian Reformation.

This way of fighting is supposed to be incredibly difficult to master, and can take years of training to perfect. That means only the most exceptional candidates are selected for initiation into the Seraphim. Therefore the Seraphim are considered a type of veteran and are given much latitude and deference from their commanders and allies.
