They aren't actually this cute.

Sisters of Battle are essentially Warhammer 40k's female equivalent of Space Marines, and are warriors devoted to the Emprah. Although they lack the genetic modification of their beefier brethren, they also wear power armour and are armed mainly with the eponymous Bolter. The Sisters of Battle are also known as the "Daughters of the Emperor", and officially as the "Adepta Sororitas". They are more colloquially known by players as "Bolter-bitches" or "Nuns with guns".

The Sisters of Battle are part of the Ecclesiarchy, the religious arm of Imperial government, and often work closely with the Inquisition. They have somewhat of an obsession with the purifying effects of flame, and generally choose equipment that allows them to cover their enemies with as much holy promethium as possible. This philosophy is most obviously exemplified by the Immolator tank, essentially a modified Rhino with giant flamethrowers stuck on it. It is thought by some that long ago the Sisters of Battle were strongly influenced by St. Ralph the Unmovable, a preacher for The Cult of the Leprechuan Who Tells Us To Burn Things (usually shortened to "The Cult of the Leprechuan" around the uninitiated so as to not unnecessarily upset them).

The Sisters may or may not be giant paedophiles. They also may or may not be flaming lesbians (Insert Rimshot Here).
