Imagifier

A banner so top-heavy and ungainly, its surprising it hasn't been used as a makeshift thunder hammer.

Imagifiers are basically the Sisters of Battle equivalent of most races' standard banner bearer. Except, instead of some limp-dicked flag, the bolter bitch carries a literal chad marble banner. Amusements aside, these giant marble beat sticks are aptly called the Simulacrum Imperialis and the Imagifier, being the crazy bolter bitches they are, often carry these things into battle.

While /tg/ likes to joke that its made of marble, the Simulacrum Imperialis is a Holy Relic that is actually wrought from the bones of an ancient Saint. Which, when we think about it in the context of the new model, which part of the bone did these sisters carved out of? Cause there's no way in hell that is made from one single bone.

It is interesting to note that Imagifiers are often recruited from two types of Battle Sister squads, each viewing the Simulacrum Imperialis with degree of difference. Within Seraphim squads the Veteran Sister Superior carries the holy symbol on her, effectively becoming an imagifier. On the other hand, Celestian Imagifiers, acting as part of a Command Squad may carry a Blessed Banner or the Sacred Banner of their order instead of a Simulacrum Imperialis.

Crunch

While one may like to contemplate in envisioning these chicks using an entire bone column as a giant fuck-off hammer like fucking Kratos, let along the practicalities in hefting a 3+ meter column in the middle of battle even with power armor. Rules-wise, it functions more like a small mobile faith-based morale support.

In 8th Edition, Imagifiers obviously act as the Sister's banner bearer and has 3 banners to choose from when its setup during deployment for a flexible approach to adapted to different enemy lists. The Tale of the Faithful is the quintessential anti-psyker defense that allows re-rolls to Deny the Witch tests for <ORDER> units within 6". The Tale of the Stoic is the usual generic defensive banner that grants <ORDER> units within 6" to ignore AP -1 against attacks. The Tale of the Warrior, as its namesake implies, is the most combat orientated, granting +1 Strength for any <ORDER> units within 6".
