@Ethan Magor Would not exactly say they're forgiving of genocides, it's just that a majority of transhuman warriors see themselves and are seen by most as way more important than a bunch of regular humans, especially considering how many of them there are in Wh40k. As for the Inquisition, though I'm not necessarily a very big fan of them, I can understand them and why they would need to consider performing Exterminatus on planets. They can absolutely not allow the spread of chaos and if the taint of chaos is considered too great to be eliminated in conventional battle, then I understand why destroying the planet may be necessary.
To be honest, it's likely that seeing the emperor's "weak side" They think of him as a god that sacrificed himself for the good of all, basically like jesus, so, while knowing that he's just a man they also know that all his suffering is for the good of humanity, and they respect that.
They see him as a man because that's what they expect to see and what the emperor wants them to seem ABD made it clear that they don't actually see the true Emperor
@@bige9144 Then quit fucking showing yourself as a huge God like statue with zero flaws and a shining aura! Just be... Like... Keanu Reeves. Cool guy that people love and listen to but by means no god.
About the Big E and Malkador beign unafected by the Sisters, there is another example of despite beign the most powerful psyker in the galaxy he doesn't only rely on the warp, the Big E's own deamons, the living saints. It may be completely unrelated but if the Big E can spawn a deamon that can endure beign cut off from the warp he (and his bro Malkador) may had tricks to better stad the sisters.
My theory is that the emperor is strong enough to straight up tank the aura of any sisters around him. At any given time, Big E is playing 5-D chess, coordinating a galactic scale war, plotting centuries ahead, powering the astronomicon and whatever other wildly OP shit he was known for, all at the same time. If Enough Blanks popped a squat on Terra, it could fuck with the astronomicon, which is dangerous and sketchy for humanely, but let’s put that in perspective. Even at the maximum amount of blanks ever allowed on Terra, the anti warp feedback they gave off is the equivalent of a 5 year old blowing out candles from across the room when compared to the emperors power. As for malcador, we know he isn’t strong enough to do the same. A recent Novel showed very clearly that Magnus>Malcador, so I assume Big E just threw up a shield for him
@@agentchaos9332 There isn't exactly much room for interpretation when their ability to repulse the Warp varies. Sisters aren't just humans with their soul lights turned-off, they're a complex oddity like most Warp-related stuff. I'd sooner expect their nature to be comparable to the notion of the Emperor as the 'anathema' than being a rare variety of glorified monkey without a soul. tl;dr - Not having a soul is simply too black & white and ultimately boring for 40k, especially warpfuckery.
@@TheDethBringer666 other things that "don't have a soul" usually don't come with warp cancelling powers, so there's got to be some other thing going on.
I wouldn’t say they’re training is intense compared to an a Space marine I would probably likein them to calexus assassins being trained very very carefully to maximize their effectiveness while not putting them in danger because they’re so rare
It could also be that the Emperor and Malcador had gotten used to hanging out with them. Kind of like how the Necron Pariahs didn't affect Cain as much due to hanging out with Jurgen.

@@crows_are_superior4464 Waaagh energy is warp energy generated by the collective consciousness of the orks. In the same way that gods are made by similar ideas and symbols.
Honestly if pariahs are like black holes, then I see the Emperor as more of a White hole. As you probably know Major, (since you're secretly smart) it's a theoretical phenomenon in astrophysics where matter is constantly expelled from a singularity. It's the literal opposite of a black hole. In this case, the Emperor is like a living hole in the warp. So if the Emperor is constantly expelling psychic energy, then the sisters or other pariahs can't really drain all of his psychic power. Using the white hole analogy, think of him like a supermassive white hole surrounded by a bunch of tiny black holes. Yeah they drain his power, but that much energy can't be dissipated by much weaker and less massive black holes. That's how I look at it anyways.
It kind of make sense, this also clarifies why the high lords disbanded the sisters of silence. Since without the emperor(while hole) providing matter to the sisters, they may start to pull all the other energy from someplace else, besides providing for a bunch of soulless entities, whom don't even talk is kind of unappealing.
After hearing the sisters of silence were soulless, I immediately did the cliché thing and looked at their hair. And I was not disappointed to see that they are ginger.
They probably weren’t supposed to be silent in the beginning, but they all talked like Fran Drescher. So, the Emperor gets excited and says, “I just thought of the BEST name for your order!”
'here, since your job is to silence others by way of killing them, i've decided to call you the sisters of silence' 'no talking, got it' 'no, i meant...ugh, fine, whatever'

It may be 3 years old by now, but the first 30 seconds of this intro is the exact argument for why the Female Custodes is a blase plan for the longstanding W40k lore.
The Sisters seem to have some control over how badly their Null powers can fuck over someone's fine, so they're probably trying to put the brakes on around the Emperor and Malcador.
Sisters of silence lore: badass ladies who tell the warp to GTFO. Sisters in custodies: “oh! Cheap troops! Could you be a dear and guard this objective.” In all seriousness, great article! Both entertaining, a hearty chuckle and informative. It’s got me inspired to clear this table of plastic. Though on a slight tangent. I imagine they dress so boldly and bright because as pariahs they are hard to look at directly, thus by having rediclously ostentatious gold/brass/whatever armour with fur cloaks, it gives the eye something to look at without actually having to properly focus on them as individuals, a process that would drive most people mad, thus dampening down the difficulty in interacting with them. I once read a book that had a guy who basically dressed as a jester, as by his very nature he was basically was a permanent background character who couldn’t be observed unless he really drew the eye. Thus when he took off those garlish layers and basically disappeared made for a cool moment.
I can only think of two reasons that the Sisters of Silence don't speak. Either the augmentations that they probably receive wind-up melting their vocal cords, or when they take the oath of silence they take it a step further and remove their vocal cords
I prefer to believe that instead of being somehow immune to the SofS' drain, being that powerful while also technically a living being made the Sister's somehow beneficial to the Big E and little M. A little bit of Cleaning symbiosis or something, the Big E gets a bit of a psyker spa treatment, and I assume the Sisters enjoy sucking down warp energy, if they can enjoy anything.
Sisters of silence are inspired by the fish speakers from the dune universe. They served as the great elite all female bodyguard and legions of the worm god emperor Leto II
Hold on... at 10:20 majorkill says the sisters of silence see the emperor as a god and the primarchs as angels, but earlier in the video (5:15) he says they can see right through any warp illusions and trickery and a sister that gazed upon the emperor on the golden throne saw him as a mere man in agonising pain. So what, do the rest of the sisters just never ever get into his crib? Seems strange considering they share his defence with the custodes...
Fun fact a lot of demons can't actually see blanks. I imagine a similar thing happens with the sisters. (Greater demons and demon princes can I believe)
The Emperor more than likely created them as some sort of side project that got out of hand when the Horus Heresy broke out. And like his Web-Way project was never finished. They were probably going to be his ultimate weapons against demons of the warp and the dark gods
You are wrong about Malcador, in both the books; The Buried Dagger and Saturnine, being near sisters or just Jenetia Krole strips him of his powers and are very unpleasant for him. And yes, 50 sisters helped Guilliman fight Magnus, but they only blocked his warp attacks, they didn't slow him or cause him great discomfort.
@@marrvynswillames4975 I don't know that precise reference, but one or two standard sisters might not be enough to block his power in total. But several or the most "powerful" of them definitely stripped him of all warp power.
@@the_dropbear4392 be that as it may, it is a clear fact that either several sisters or Krole depowered Malcador. It isn't bad writing, it is simply disagreement about how strong the silent sisterhood is.
the sister of silence are proof thath umans don't need soul/a connection to the warp to live normally, the sisters still think and act like a sentient spieces which means that the imperium should work with the necrons to close the warp for good with the pylons. Basically what i'm saying is the necrons are the good guys
So I got a theory why they don't speak is more a spiritual reason. You can't give someones true name if you can't speak and not give away secrets. Good example is a scene in the burning of prospero where a 1k sons sorcerer tried to use a wolves name against him but since his spy didn't learn his proper name , his power over him was lessoned.
Malcador and Big E were so powerful that they "Filled Up" the black hole in the centre of the Sisters. Imagine the sisters like a bucket with a hole in the bottom.The sisters suck up soul/warp energy until the bucket is full. malcador and Emps can fill the bucket up so then the sister can only suc up as much as she is losing from the hole in the bottom. Bucket holds 1,000,000 warp units while the hole only lets out 10 warp units per hour. So, a normal psyker is exhausted before the bucket is full but the emp just dumps in 1,000,000 units at the start and then only has to lose 10 units per hour. So after the inital "filling" the drain is minimal. Plus while the bucket is full the sisters feel what it is like to have a soul, this is why they love Big E, he fills them up... spiritually. Also why they see him as a god, he literally gives them A "soul". I would suggest Big E and malc also know how to use the sisters like a battery, fill them up with warp power and then pull it back when they need it or when they need the sister to do her job.

I'm actually surprised that there aren't more stories of the capabilities of a Blank AKA and Untouchable. After looking at the stories for both inquisitor games eisenhorn and martyr, it seems to me that similar to psykers, blanks should have a wide range of abilities. But so far all this seems that they're able to do is just either erase entities that have power over the warp or take power from the warp like demons or being corrupted by chaos if not any psykers in general by canceling them out the closer they get to a blank. If you get close enough to them, they can also basically shield you from other psykers trying to sense you or influence a person/people with their mind powers. In eisenhorn there was a blank who was so powerful She was basically being used as a weapon by an inquisitor to eventually completely erase demons to the point that they couldn't even return to the warp and be reborn from the chaos god they spawn from. She didn't even have a name. As the same I'm guessing with most of the Sisters of Silence since they don't speak, unless they're just known to each other through their special sign language. But even if regular humans don't really have psyker powers, being around a blank can cause them to be unnerved or uncomfortable. So if any of them do survive to adulthood like how they say the bodyguard, guardsman and aid of Ciaphas Cain - Ferik Jurgen, They could probably be the nicest people in the world and still be incredibly sh*t on. Like Jerry from Parks and Recreation or Toby from the Office. They basically do nothing to you but for some reason you just hate them whenever they're around. Likely that feeling goes away more and more the greater distance you have to them. But I'm guessing unless somebody is a particularly strong blank then they can mostly get around other humans in the 40K setting if they survive past childhood but other parents or other people trying to murder them. Apparently weaponized Blanks like in the Officio Assassinorum are seen as the most Evil things humanity has ever created. But personally that's the pot calling the kettle black considering that there are such things as the drukhari aka the Dark eldar which are a bunch of sadistic bastards through and through to survive getting their own souls r4ped for eternity by Slaanesh - The god of excess and pleasure that they basically r4ped everyone and each other into creating because they were basically bored. Instead of doing som Star Trek sh*t and explore other galaxies or fight the Tyranids early on they let their hedonism create a brand new Devil. And with All of this Psychic insanity going on, like a half million blanks and 60 billion Psykers probably started manifesting all over human space lol.
Another theory is that the sisters can focus their siphoning powers to not effect certain people like emps or malcador. The question is if they have any control over their "gift" which is doubtful because eveyone seems to be disgusted by their presence....unless doing such a thing is taxing on them, i dunno fam.

It may be 3 years old by now, but the first 30 seconds of this intro is the exact argument for why the Female Custodes is a blase plan for the longstanding W40k lore.
Should of made SOS custodes. A null transhuman would go hard af.
The Sisters seem to have some control over how badly their Null powers can fuck over someone's fine, so they're probably trying to put the brakes on around the Emperor and Malcador.
It was a DEATH KORP A KRIE- !!!!!!!!!!! I yell: YEAAAAA- wait wha?
Majorkill: Im kidding
Me: sad guardsman noises
the Death Korps of Krieg need more love in the form of lore, also the Iron Hands
I wonder what Fabius Bile will do to the sisters and custodes he captured.
a book told from the viewpoint of a sister of silence's inner monologue while accompanying the custodes on a mission would be interesting to see.
Pretty sure that was one third of a more recent book. Watchers of the Throne I think...it was part of a series I know that much
That'd be weird.
Sisters of silence lore: badass ladies who tell the warp to GTFO.
Sisters in custodies: “oh! Cheap troops! Could you be a dear and guard this objective.”
In all seriousness, great article! Both entertaining, a hearty chuckle and informative. It’s got me inspired to clear this table of plastic.
Though on a slight tangent. I imagine they dress so boldly and bright because as pariahs they are hard to look at directly, thus by having rediclously ostentatious gold/brass/whatever armour with fur cloaks, it gives the eye something to look at without actually having to properly focus on them as individuals, a process that would drive most people mad, thus dampening down the difficulty in interacting with them. I once read a book that had a guy who basically dressed as a jester, as by his very nature he was basically was a permanent background character who couldn’t be observed unless he really drew the eye. Thus when he took off those garlish layers and basically disappeared made for a cool moment.
PA-rye-ah.......ya muppet. No F sound in the word. Love the vids, keep 'em coming!
@Ethan Magor nah, American here. Watch a lot of British programming though!
@Ethan Magor Even here in Brazil we watched them in the past, I think it still is being played in the TV Cultura Channel
I can only think of two reasons that the Sisters of Silence don't speak. Either the augmentations that they probably receive wind-up melting their vocal cords, or when they take the oath of silence they take it a step further and remove their vocal cords
Oaths, sisters in training speak, like in Master of mankind
I prefer to believe that instead of being somehow immune to the SofS' drain, being that powerful while also technically a living being made the Sister's somehow beneficial to the Big E and little M. A little bit of Cleaning symbiosis or something, the Big E gets a bit of a psyker spa treatment, and I assume the Sisters enjoy sucking down warp energy, if they can enjoy anything.
Sisters of silence are inspired by the fish speakers from the dune universe. They served as the great elite all female bodyguard and legions of the worm god emperor Leto II
The Camel has blessed us with another video
Magnus still punched off one of Leman’s hearts though, nyâââârgh !
When did that happen?
@@patrik9328 during the fall of prospero
sisters of silence are great in killteam, flamethrower and monster swords are a funny combo
I think their loyalty is based on the belief, that the Emperor is a god and by serving him they would be granted a soul.
"loyal, fit and doesn't speak" you got me there hahaha
@Ethan Magor Jesus christ you're everywhere arent you
Ethan Magor girl named ethan?
@@Ake-TL Because S(he) identifies as female regardless of actual Sex.
@Ethan Magor Do you want a hug?
@@jackstrayfeald1007 clearly "it" does lol
Wonder what would happen if you took a ship full of them into the warp and turned off the Gellar fields
The Sisters of Silence are pretty much Female Custodes in my book.
Sending a knife man eh, you sure you don't send a spoon man?
"Females already have their own badass Supersoldiers" ... "No need for female custodes" hmm
Hold on... at 10:20 majorkill says the sisters of silence see the emperor as a god and the primarchs as angels, but earlier in the video (5:15) he says they can see right through any warp illusions and trickery and a sister that gazed upon the emperor on the golden throne saw him as a mere man in agonising pain. So what, do the rest of the sisters just never ever get into his crib? Seems strange considering they share his defence with the custodes...
I'd enjoy making a Sisters of Battle / Silence army and throw some Admech into the mix as well. sounds like it would be fun
This video aged LOYALIST
🗡️☀️🛡️
High Lords of Terra: "Chaos is our true enemy so we should disband those babes who can kick the sh*t out of it"
to be honest, keeping they in the black ship league is more important, since no astronomican means no empire
Fun fact a lot of demons can't actually see blanks. I imagine a similar thing happens with the sisters. (Greater demons and demon princes can I believe)
Sisters in Silence planet name..... "Tranquility Base" at least for 3 weeks out of whatever there solar month is..
The sisters started when a lounge singer had to go in to witness protection in a convent, they made a film about it with Whoopi Goldburg
Is Major on a Streak or something? Everytime I go online there's a new video. Good job.
I like to imagine just an army of Rosa Diaz'es allowed to become totally unhinged. ❤️🔥 it brings me joy
Love the SP reference!
Malcador is unaffected too, like the Emperor.
The Emperor more than likely created them as some sort of side project that got out of hand when the Horus Heresy broke out. And like his Web-Way project was never finished. They were probably going to be his ultimate weapons against demons of the warp and the dark gods
Surely Necrons have the same effect as they are soulless? That's why the eldar hate them as they view soullessness as an insult to Isha?
I alwYs wrestle with them being so OP. They seem like they literally have no weakness.
You are wrong about Malcador, in both the books; The Buried Dagger and Saturnine, being near sisters or just Jenetia Krole strips him of his powers and are very unpleasant for him. And yes, 50 sisters helped Guilliman fight Magnus, but they only blocked his warp attacks, they didn't slow him or cause him great discomfort.
didn't he still stopped an weapon from firing using his powers while being next to they?
@@marrvynswillames4975 I don't know that precise reference, but one or two standard sisters might not be enough to block his power in total. But several or the most "powerful" of them definitely stripped him of all warp power.
That's just bad writing as we've seen lesser psykers than malacor over power them
@@the_dropbear4392 be that as it may, it is a clear fact that either several sisters or Krole depowered Malcador. It isn't bad writing, it is simply disagreement about how strong the silent sisterhood is.
I like the name 9-13 it highlights the fact that this is the Milky Way galaxy and there aren't enough names to go around
Sisters of Silence are basically the Custodes female version just like the sisters of battle are the female Astartes of course they are amazing
Wait, don't they also crew the Black Ships, the second largest fleet in the Imperium, tasked with bringing psykers to Terra?
Or was that ret-conned?
the sister of silence are proof thath umans don't need soul/a connection to the warp to live normally, the sisters still think and act like a sentient spieces which means that the imperium should work with the necrons to close the warp for good with the pylons. Basically what i'm saying is the necrons are the good guys
They want to kill all life. So no
So I got a theory why they don't speak is more a spiritual reason. You can't give someones true name if you can't speak and not give away secrets. Good example is a scene in the burning of prospero where a 1k sons sorcerer tried to use a wolves name against him but since his spy didn't learn his proper name , his power over him was lessoned.
Magnus punched one of Lemans hearts out. Nobody remembers that.
Pretty sure SoS/nulls do have souls. They're just negative, whatever that means..
Malcador and Big E were so powerful that they "Filled Up" the black hole in the centre of the Sisters. Imagine the sisters like a bucket with a hole in the bottom.The sisters suck up soul/warp energy until the bucket is full. malcador and Emps can fill the bucket up so then the sister can only suc up as much as she is losing from the hole in the bottom. Bucket holds 1,000,000 warp units while the hole only lets out 10 warp units per hour. So, a normal psyker is exhausted before the bucket is full but the emp just dumps in 1,000,000 units at the start and then only has to lose 10 units per hour. So after the inital "filling" the drain is minimal. Plus while the bucket is full the sisters feel what it is like to have a soul, this is why they love Big E, he fills them up... spiritually. Also why they see him as a god, he literally gives them A "soul". I would suggest Big E and malc also know how to use the sisters like a battery, fill them up with warp power and then pull it back when they need it or when they need the sister to do her job.
Bro there are so many innuendos in this XD
I get what you're trying to say though

I'm actually surprised that there aren't more stories of the capabilities of a Blank AKA and Untouchable. After looking at the stories for both inquisitor games eisenhorn and martyr, it seems to me that similar to psykers, blanks should have a wide range of abilities. But so far all this seems that they're able to do is just either erase entities that have power over the warp or take power from the warp like demons or being corrupted by chaos if not any psykers in general by canceling them out the closer they get to a blank. If you get close enough to them, they can also basically shield you from other psykers trying to sense you or influence a person/people with their mind powers. In eisenhorn there was a blank who was so powerful She was basically being used as a weapon by an inquisitor to eventually completely erase demons to the point that they couldn't even return to the warp and be reborn from the chaos god they spawn from. She didn't even have a name. As the same I'm guessing with most of the Sisters of Silence since they don't speak, unless they're just known to each other through their special sign language. But even if regular humans don't really have psyker powers, being around a blank can cause them to be unnerved or uncomfortable. So if any of them do survive to adulthood like how they say the bodyguard, guardsman and aid of Ciaphas Cain - Ferik Jurgen, They could probably be the nicest people in the world and still be incredibly sh*t on. Like Jerry from Parks and Recreation or Toby from the Office. They basically do nothing to you but for some reason you just hate them whenever they're around. Likely that feeling goes away more and more the greater distance you have to them. But I'm guessing unless somebody is a particularly strong blank then they can mostly get around other humans in the 40K setting if they survive past childhood but other parents or other people trying to murder them. Apparently weaponized Blanks like in the Officio Assassinorum are seen as the most Evil things humanity has ever created. But personally that's the pot calling the kettle black considering that there are such things as the drukhari aka the Dark eldar which are a bunch of sadistic bastards through and through to survive getting their own souls r4ped for eternity by Slaanesh - The god of excess and pleasure that they basically r4ped everyone and each other into creating because they were basically bored. Instead of doing som Star Trek sh*t and explore other galaxies or fight the Tyranids early on they let their hedonism create a brand new Devil. And with All of this Psychic insanity going on, like a half million blanks and 60 billion Psykers probably started manifesting all over human space lol.
Thanks for sending over a bunch of people into the FF discord server that don't want to be there. Much appreciated
Another theory is that the sisters can focus their siphoning powers to not effect certain people like emps or malcador. The question is if they have any control over their "gift" which is doubtful because eveyone seems to be disgusted by their presence....unless doing such a thing is taxing on them, i dunno fam.
Right on time for lunch
Prospero was a pretty brutal and hard fought battle.
