Codex - Fallen Sororitas

Finally, an army of hot babes who will totally do you, albeit in the worst way possible...

Overview

Inspired by Miriael Sabathiel, a few of us have gotten together to make a full codex for Sisters of Battle who have fallen to Chaos. Currently this codex is in the early alpha stage, which is to say it's technically playable, but only just. Balance is likely to be all over the place, and pretty much all of the rules could be potentially changed in future updates. However, if you're interested in helping us playtest and get this army up and running, feel free to leave feedback on the Discussion page.

What Does This Codex Include?

A fully playable army with a unique playstyle which will set them apart from both the Adepta Sororitas and other Chaos forces. This isn't just Sisters of Battle with a different coat of paint, these girls are designed to play very differently from their loyalist counterparts. Almost every unit moves faster and has more attacks than standard units of their caliber, which combined with much more access to special weapons, makes this an extremely versatile army, though they tend to be more expensive as well.

Fluff

Because a lot of these units are rather unique, and the codex doesn't have much in the way of lore yet, this section is here to give you an idea of what everything is as well as the general theme of the codex. The entire army follows Slaanesh due to the fact that the only Sororitas to willingly fall to Chaos (namely Miriael Sabathiel and the Orders Pronatus in Daemonifuge) have fallen to Slaanesh specifically. Admittedly, this could be because Sisters almost never got any attention in the fluff until recently, and Chaos Sisters even less than that. However, it's more likely because Slaanesh is the most subtle of all the Chaos gods, and the most seductive, to the point that even his brother Chaos Gods fear him, despite the fact he's technically being the least powerful of the bunch. Now, it should be noted that, even with all his powers of influence, Sisters of Battle almost never fall to Chaos. Their fanatical devotion combined with the constant vigilance of their peers make them nearly impervious to corruption and it's unlikely that there are ever more than a thousand Fallen Sororitas in the entire galaxy at any given time, if that. However, of all the vices in the world, Slaanesh's favorite is corrupting the incorruptible, and the higher a Sororitas rises in her faith, the further she has the potential to fall. To this end, he saves some of his greatest gifts for Fallen Sisters of Battle, so while they might be outnumbered by their loyalist peers, they're also far more dangerous.

Instead of orders, Fallen Sororitas organize themselves into cults. Each cult is commonly centered around an individual or entity of singular force of personality. Given that Fallen Sororitas almost always abandon their discipline for more hedonistic pursuits, it takes cunning, manipulation, and no small amount of sheer will to keep a cult together. Should the leader fall and a new one fail to take charge, the cult will invariably fall to petty infighting, making them easy pickings for the Inquisition, or worse, their erstwhile sisters of the Adepta Sororitas, who are all too eager to punish wickedness spawned from their own ranks. However, when the full might of a Fallen Sororitas cult marches to war, united in devotion to the Prince of Pleasure, the worlds of their foes fall in quick succession. Fallen Sororitas cults tend to maintain close relationships with both the Dark Mechanicus as well as Slaaneshi Chaos Space Marine warbands, and have access to cruel heretical weaponry to enforce their amoral will on the galaxy.

Unit-specific fluff will be coming soon.
