The opening is how I’ve wrote my sisters order. They have such a devotion to human life that they will often preform rear guard actions during large engagements where civilian evacuations are needed. Martyred lady is one of my favourite orders as they are the poster girls of the sisters so they are naturally the reason i like the sisters aesthetics.
My Sisters of Battle are the same, although it puts them at odds with the rest of my Imperium forces since they’re from the same star system that my homebrew Space Marine chapter is from and said chapter is VERY anti-Imperial cult.
@@jonathantheslow my sisters and space marines work together and will naturally deploy together in battle. They also don’t hide any information from each other, they trust each other so much that during one engagement during the Manchurian crusade an imagifier was hit ,a space marine took her banner to keep the sisters morale up. The order also rarely use penitent engines, they still use them but only on planetary governors and chaos cult leaders as to them the worse sin is to hurt others under you. Just curious what’s your order called?
The Sisters of Battle have been a mighty instrument for the God Emperor Imperium, and though they came from the Vandire personal army they have cleanse themselves from his filth and won many battles and wars in the Emperor’s name. I have had the privilege and honor to fight alongside these noble zealots of our Emperor, and their faith is richly rewarded in this life and the next.
People thinks Ork imagination can do miracles People doesn't understand that the Sisters are many levels above that Ork meme about red making you faster
Thank you, Baldermort! Your first SoB video is what inspired me to get into the hobby and start collecting the Adepta Sororitas. I still go back and listen to that first story every once and a while. Hope you have a great day!
Now THIS is how you do awesome strong women in sci-fi... Disney could learn a thing or two about how to write female characters from these epic ladies 👌
Even better, Baldermort talks about the sisters which is true to the lore. Many people believe all Sisters orders behave like the Sisters in the game Soulstorm. In truth their compassion has caused many guard regiments to go above and beyond.
@@THEGRUMPTRUCK They are also the one faction (to the best of my knowledge) that offers genuine compassion, hope, and support to anyone around them who has the willingness to fight for humanity. They don't scoff at a commoner who steps up to defend their own, like every other faction.
@@RamathRS Yeah. Guardsmen have kept private journals that sometimes stated how when the Sororitas were present they actually felt like they WANTED to fight for the emperor, and that even if the enemy was overwhelming them they were not afraid, and fought bravely, sometimes even beyond the point of fatal wounds. The Adepta Sororitas have finally been getting better received in the last couple years. Previous lore entries about their failures were retconned or changed, such as when they worked with the gray knights. That story changed from the GK slaughtering them to endure the bloodstorm to the head canoness instead willingly choosing to martyr herself to protect the Gray Knights, and the rest of the Sororitas willingly hanging back to fight the daemons while the GK stopped the ritual. Much better writing and a much better portrayal of the sisters and the GK.
@@THEGRUMPTRUCK So that bits with the supposedly immuned-to-warp Greyknights teamkilling the Sisters and bath in their blood to resist the corruption finally got replaced?
@@RichterBelmont2235 Yep. It was a canoness who discussed with the Gray Knights about how to stop the ritual and when they needed pure blood for the ritual, the Canoness volunteered herself. Though the Sisters suffered near total losses, it was while protecting the Gray Knights while they stopped the Chaos Summoning, so they died in glory. The GK made mention of them to the ecclesiarchy that they were all honorable and the canoness to become a saint.
Still a mega bummer that dow3 was so gutter trash, and that seemingly its SO FUCKING HARD to make Dawn of war 1, with the cover system of 2, and slightly better graphics..
@@GundamReviver Yeah I was pretty excited for that one especially after watching the cinematics, but decided against it after seeing the gameplay. Hopefully they'll make another one and do better heh.
Dawn of War 2 was focused on the Blood Ravens' Aurelian Crusades. The factions featured in Retribution all participate in the Canon Storyline. The Blood Ravens' ending is the canon ending...
@@GundamReviver Honestly, I would love a dawn of war that focused on the horurs heresy era, with a large scale. Add in naval elements as well. Kinda like a mix of total war warhammer 2 's campaign mode, Battlefleet gothic 2, and dawn of war dark crusade. That way there's a lot of cool elements, bridging the gap of all the cool warhammer 40k games, and bringing them together into the ultimate horus heresy game. If done right, I think their failure in dow 3 will be forgotten. But that'd require people willing to push the boundaries, and invoate, as well as make an actual game again. Not a...Whatever dow 3 is. I'd also like to see them ramp up the scale to full 40k, with titans and crazy battles. Kinda like ultimate apocalypse mod or unification mod. Since we've seen how insanely fun it can be to just make a mad house full scale game with titans and massive armies clashing.
@@spottedslash4256 I may be mistaken, but they do not welcome the common masses to stand shoulder-to-shoulder along side them. They do not give nameless fallen volunteers the same honors as their own fallen battpe brothers. Sure, they fight in defense of the Imperium, but that is hardly the same as pausing to help rally the hope and morale of every courageous soul around them. Again, I may very well be mistaken, and if I am I will stand corrected. And I certainly hold no animosity toward the Salamanders. But they sound to have a similar view on others as the Space Wolves. Those under their protection praise them for their courage in their defense, but are still kept as arm's length beneath them.
From his high vantage point, the Emperor of Mankind looked down upon Miriya where she knelt. His unchanging gaze took in all of her, the woman’s bowed form shrouded in blood-coloured robes. In places, armour dark as obsidian emerged from the folds of the crimson cloth. It framed her against the tan stonework of the chapel floor. She was defined by the light that reflected upon her from the Emperor’s eternal visage; all that she was, she was only by His decree. Miriya’s lips moved in whispers. The Litany of Divine Guidance spilled from her in a cascading hush. The words were such a part of her that they came as quickly and effortlessly as breathing. As the climax of the declaration came, she felt a warm core of righteousness establish itself in her heart, as it always did, as it always had since the day she had discarded her noviciate cloak and taken the oath. She allowed herself to look up at Him. Miriya granted herself this small gesture as a reward. Her gaze travelled up the altar, drinking in the majesty of the towering golden idol. The Emperor watched her over folded arms, across the inverted hilt of a great burning sword. At His left shoulder stood Saint Celestine, her hands cupped to hold two stone doves as if she were offering them up. At His right was Saint Katherine, the Daughter of the Emperor who had founded the order that Miriya now served. She lingered on Katherine’s face for a moment: the statue’s hair fell down over her temple and across the fleur-de-lys carved beneath her left eye. Miriya unconsciously brushed her black tresses back over her ear, revealing her own fleur tattoo in dark red ink. The armour the stone saint wore differed from Miriya’s in form but not function. Katherine was clad in an ancient type of wargear, and she bore the symbol of a burning heart where Miriya wore a holy cross crested with a skull. When the saint had been mistress of her sect, they had been known as the Order of the Fiery Heart - but that had been decades before Katherine’s brutal ending on Mnestteus. Since that date, for over two millennia they had called themselves the Order of Our Martyred Lady. It was part of a legacy of duty to the Emperor that Sister Miriya of the Adepta Sororitas had been fortunate to continue. With that thought, she looked upon the effigy of Him. She met the stone eyes and imagined that on far distant Terra, the Lord of Humanity was granting her some infinitely small fraction of His divine attention, willing her to carry out her latest mission with His blessing. Miriya’s hands came to her chest and crossed one another, making the sign of the Imperial aquila. ‘In Your name,’ she said aloud. ‘In service to Your Light, grant me guidance and strength. Let me know the witch and the heretic, show them to me.’ She bowed once again. ‘Let me do Your bidding and rid the galaxy of man’s foe...’{Faith and Fire, James Swallow} 'Imogen had stood to arms in the role of adjutant and guardian to Sepherina at a meeting on Apophis, a repurposed asteroid in high orbit around Holy Terra. The site belonged to the Ordo Xenos, and what glimpses the Sisters had been granted of the complex’s interior were fleeting, giving rise to worrisome questions as to exactly what the Inquisition’s alien hunters did there. The thought of being in close proximity to anything connected to heathen non-human life made the woman’s skin crawl. Sister Imogen had fought the xenos many times, killing ork and eldar, and any number of other nameless things that aped the intellect and perfection of mankind. As they walked through the snaking lava-tube corridors inside Apophis, she had kept one hand close to her bolter, and the other on the chaplet that hung around her neck. Finally, Sepherina and her party had been shown into a meeting room laser-cut from the dense meteoric stone, and left to wait until the man who summoned them finally graced the Sisterhood with his presence. Inquisitor Hoth, a male of stocky build beneath a wide-brimmed preacher hat, entered with his own retinue: a pair of gunmen who showed the manner of mercenaries more than virtuous servants of the Golden Throne. The men surveyed the Sisters with eyes that were wary and predatory in equal measure. Imogen had let them look at her, concealing nothing. Better that they see the steel and plate of her power armour, better they know the presence of her gun and blade. She recognised men like them. They understood only crude vectors of approach, force and violence. Eventually, they looked away, and for the rest of the meeting kept their gazes turned elsewhere. Hoth, on the other hand, radiated a singular air of unconcern that bordered on condescension. He took a seat and busied himself with a data-slate, picking at icons on the screen, moving them back and forth like beads on an ancient abacus. Imogen was uncertain if he were actually working on something, or if he were toying with the device to amuse himself. The man behaved as if he was barely aware of them in the room with him. Hoth had granted them audience after a long silence. The deposition from the Sisterhood had come in person to ask again upon a request, which had been circling through the vast machine of Imperial bureaucracy for almost seven solar years. Such a period of time was little more than the blink of an eye, when measured against the monumental epochs of officialdom that weighed down most decisions made by the Adeptus Terra and the great organisations of the Imperium. But for the Order of Our Martyred Lady, it had been as if a century passed for each wasted day. Seven years before they met in that stone chamber, the convent at Sanctuary 101 had gone dark, the last communication from it an agonised scream. As ever, the engine of empire moved slowly, but the Sisters had made ready to set sail for the Kavir system, preparing ships and warriors, only to be prevented from departing by the Ministorum itself. It came to pass that on the advice of the Ordo Xenos and the personal diktat of Inquisitor Hoth, the Sisterhood were denied permission to return to Sanctuary 101 and determine what had happened there. Of all the Canoness Minoris in the Order, Sister Sepherina had been the most vocal over this insult to the authority of the Sororitas. The Ordo Xenos had no power over the Sisterhood, and yet Hoth had drawn on his own vast web of influence to convince those who did that he, not the Sisters, should be first to Sanctuary 101 in the wake of this mysterious event. The matter had created great enmity between the two organisations, and much in the way of politicking and sharp words, all of them for nothing. The inquisitor was known to Imogen’s Order, and his interest - some said his obsession - with certain strains of alien life was not a secret. But despite all the entreaties, the requests and veiled threats, Hoth had made sure the order remained in place. Until that day. Without explanation, without apology or acknowledgement of the Sisterhood’s great pain, he told them they now had leave to return to the planet and lay the ghosts of their dead to rest. ‘My interest,’ he said, ‘has shifted to other matters.’ Sepherina exploded with questions and demands as Hoth stood up after making his pronouncement. What happened at the convent? Did anyone survive? Did you go there? The inquisitor ignored them all, and finally the canoness was railing at nothing as Hoth crossed back towards the door. It was the first time, in years of duty alongside the other woman, that Imogen had ever seen Sepherina lose her temper. Seven years of being banned from setting foot upon their own outpost world, with only the vaguest of justifications, seven years of rumours about the invasion of a new kind of alien form, all cast aside in a moment. And so, in the nine hundred and third year of the forty-first millennium of the Imperium of Man, Canoness Sepherina was empowered to command a mission back to the silent outpost. Even with good warp currents, six more years Terran standard time had elapsed as the starship Tybalt travelled first to Paramar to equip, and then on to the distant Kavir system...'{Sanctuary 101Incident - Hammer and Anvil, James Swallow} ‘Mea fides est, et ferrum armis.’ - My faith is my shield and my blade. ‘Holy Emperor, enthroned on Terra, look upon Your servants, Fill our hearts with Your holy rage, that the attacks of the enemy might melt before our ire. Fill our arms with Your strength, that we may smite these contemptible foes from Your sight. Fill our souls with Your steadfast vigilance, that no force that assails us may turn us from Your righteous purpose.’

Brother Baldermort This vid came at the best time possible The cadets of C company at my school and I have had a really really hard week We have suffered and been battered by events beyond or control Yet some of the lads and I still watch the vids to get our mind off the world. Thank you sir Regards from C Company
I am very sorry indeed that C Company has been through the wringer this week. :(. I can only hope next week is much MUCH better. Thank you for your service! All of you!
@@Baldermort sir we are maritime cadets (merchantmen) in Galveston TX and we lost one of our lads and the company took it hard Thanks for your support I’ll pass it on to the lads
You must bring back the sister from the "penitent engine" video. Since hearing her voice, each time I have read anything about the sisters, it's been her voice in my head.
Emperor be praised, wonderful telling of memories of my beloved fellow sisters, may you be exalted and admired for such a show of faith and admiration. This does not mean we wont have to cleanse you for past actions, but for a while you are safe .
Your original prognostications on the Sisters of Battle truly made me weep. "Not with your mouth... not with your lips... say it with your soul." "THE EMPEROR PROTECTS."
It always astonishes me how eloquent you are, and how well structured your videos come out. Thank you for your hard work Baldy, hope ya have a wonderful year.
I love Saint Praxedes' rules from old 3rd ed Apocalypse. She carried the "Sceptre of Vengeance". A thunderhammer, where when hit, the target LOST A PSYCHIC POWER, INCLUDING TYRANID SYNAPSE.
Okay, really a great story opening and entry on the SoOML; but without giving any spoilers, and having seen the foreshadowing done, the final meeting between our bluff but stalwart guardsman and the native imho stretched credibility past its breaking point. Happy to debate somewhere where I wouldn’t ruin the story for anyone, but overall 9/10. Well done, again, Sir Balders.
Baldermort you never cease to make your content fresh and absolutely amazing. Now me and my wife sit on our bed and set up her IPad and watch your videos. Like I have told you before I work a lot and so does my wife. Your work is giving something to bring us together and spend quality time . Thank you so much Brother. Your content is more than just lore, it’s actually helping keep a marriage healthy! Can’t wait to see what’s next!
Yesterday i watched the entry on the sisters of battle again, and was silently praying to the emperor for another entry on the subject!! And he has granted me my wish!! Thank you good sir for the amazing content!
I have sister miniature who was from the order of the valorous heart. now she collects skulls for the skull throne. and leads a Renegade's and heretics army. the one and only iconoclast. Its one of my favourite model's i have in my army 😈
This storyline is epic. Thanks for all this content.

Sisters of Battle are one of my favorite 40k Factions. I like the fact that they are not genetically engineered like the Astarte's they are just hyper faithful. I really enjoy Astarte lore as well, but I am a bigger fan of Kreig and Cadia and The Catachan Jungle Fighters and the more "normal human" factions. Great video as always Baldermort!
The Sisters of Battle - The most ferocious of The GEOM's Servants... and yet..? they are also the source of one of it absolute WORST Enemies (Can't WAIT to see if they ever fill in that particular blank! No doub it'd be a REAL page turner!) - The previously mentioned Miriael Sabathiel, and her killing of Both Olga Karamanz (her former canoness) and Inquisitor Tosk, were just the beginning. (Took down and converted a full squad of the Sisters of the Argent Shroud, an entire kill-team of Black Templars, and so many more..) Many, many thanks for posting this. (I must also, once again declare that 40K *needs!* you as their official narrator!) 1,000,000/100. Bravo. (~tips hat!~)
My favorite Order is the Order of the Ebon Chalice. 1) They are the first, the originals, and the golden standars. They have remained unchanged, and have not diviated from their original intended focus and aim. Unlike other Orders that now focus on past martyrs, or past wrongs, they remain true to the faith. 2) Unlike most (if not all) other Orders, the Ebon Chalice refuses to put on shows to display their piety by showing how mournful they are, or engraged they are, over past wrongs or fallen heroes; all of which borders dangerously close to virtue signaling. They, instead, focus on the here and now to address threats in their current day. 3) They desire other Orders to emulate them, but do so by example and not by external needs to show how special and unique they are. While other Orders are seeking to separate themselves, the Ebon Chalice is welcoming all to be like them. They care more about living and their dedication than by finding ways to distinguish themselves as special snowflakes.
Baldamort sir, I rarely If ever comment, but I feel compelled to tell you that every one of your videos have been absolutely delightful and attention grabbing. They hold my interest like no other lore channel I've seen. Thank you sir for your dedication and hard work in bringing us the level of content that you do. Your labors are greatly appreciated.
Your home brew lore is awesome. To the extent that it is considered canon by my gaming group at least. You may not be official, but your contributions are very much appreciated by all that may here them. SALUTE.
Two nuns are walking down the street when they notice that a man is following them. Sister Michael, the older and wiser nun, says to the young and naïve Sister Patrick, "See that crossroad ahead? You go left and I'll go right: he can't follow us both. We'll meet back at the Abbey." So the sisters part and the man follows Sister Michael. Some time later, Sister Patrick is anxiously waiting at the Abbey when Sister Michael returns alone. "Thank the Lord you are alright!" exclaims Sister Patrick. "But what happened to that man? "Well," replies Sister Michael, "After a few minutes, I stopped and pulled up my dress." Sister Patrick stares in shock. "Then," continues Sister Michael, "he stopped and pulled down his trousers." Sister Patrick gasps. "Oh, Sister, why would you let him do that?" "Because," explains Sister Michael, "a nun with her dress up can run faster than a man with his trousers down!"
Each strike she landed upon the enemies of mankind was a sacred melodic hymnal. Each beheaded heretic a verse of the holy litany of purity. Each immolated xenos a beacon of piety, blazing her offering of faith through the stars to fall before the gaze of the Emperor himself. She could feel his blessed golden light within her, guiding her bolter true. Each exploding mutant the holiest benediction of her worship, anointing it's vile brethren in a shower of blood and brains by the Emperor's will made manifest.
Videos about Angelica Dominica and the order of the ebon chalice would be very much appreciated. And maybe some more short videos about the core rules of the armies maybe some tips and tactics? Example videos of what a squad can to with their loadout and special items? it is always nice to see your videos! You got me back into the hobby after many long years!
Love when the sisters of battle are in the fray! Such a good representation of strong women thriving in their own element and leading the charge of the faithful. Such an interesting side of the Imperium especially now that the Avenging Son has returned!
Greetings from Canada and I hope you are well, I must say I am growing concerned with the generous amount of content you are producing hope you don't suffer burnout or sew the seeds of termination of the chanel like so many starting Chanel's . I wish you to thrive because your lore and accompanying audio dramas are sublime and helped me greatly through this year of nergals blessing. Not only make time for fun but for yourself as well and take care

Not a...Whatever dow 3 is. I'd also like to see them ramp up the scale to full 40k, with titans and crazy battles. Kinda like ultimate apocalypse mod or unification mod. Since we've seen how insanely fun it can be to just make a mad house full scale game with titans and massive armies clashing.
@@NeiasaurusCreations naval!???
The Sisters of Battle are my favorite faction in 40k. They offer the one glimmer of light, mercy, and hope in the dark galaxy.
Let's not forget the salamanders my friend.
@@spottedslash4256 I may be mistaken, but they do not welcome the common masses to stand shoulder-to-shoulder along side them. They do not give nameless fallen volunteers the same honors as their own fallen battpe brothers. Sure, they fight in defense of the Imperium, but that is hardly the same as pausing to help rally the hope and morale of every courageous soul around them.
Again, I may very well be mistaken, and if I am I will stand corrected. And I certainly hold no animosity toward the Salamanders. But they sound to have a similar view on others as the Space Wolves. Those under their protection praise them for their courage in their defense, but are still kept as arm's length beneath them.
I love the design and lore behind the sisters of battle. Absolute badasses.
Snipe from snipe and wib she's worth getting in to do a sister's voice she's got a beautiful voice
She's voiced Saint Celestine in tts i think. I was going to make this suggestion too, since she's a big sisters fan.
If I'm honest, I don't come to you for lore, I'm here for the stories. You have got to be the best story teller on TH-cam.
From his high vantage point, the Emperor of Mankind looked down upon Miriya where she knelt. His unchanging gaze took in all of her, the woman’s bowed form shrouded in blood-coloured robes. In places, armour dark as obsidian emerged from the folds of the crimson cloth. It framed her against the tan stonework of the chapel floor. She was defined by the light that reflected upon her from the Emperor’s eternal visage; all that she was, she was only by His decree. Miriya’s lips moved in whispers. The Litany of Divine Guidance spilled from her in a cascading hush. The words were such a part of her that they came as quickly and effortlessly as breathing. As the climax of the declaration came, she felt a warm core of righteousness establish itself in her heart, as it always did, as it always had since the day she had discarded her noviciate cloak and taken the oath. She allowed herself to look up at Him. Miriya granted herself this small gesture as a reward. Her gaze travelled up the altar, drinking in the majesty of the towering golden idol. The Emperor watched her over folded arms, across the inverted hilt of a great burning sword. At His left shoulder stood Saint Celestine, her hands cupped to hold two stone doves as if she were offering them up. At His right was Saint Katherine, the Daughter of the Emperor who had founded the order that Miriya now served. She lingered on Katherine’s face for a moment: the statue’s hair fell down over her temple and across the fleur-de-lys carved beneath her left eye. Miriya unconsciously brushed her black tresses back over her ear, revealing her own fleur tattoo in dark red ink. The armour the stone saint wore differed from Miriya’s in form but not function. Katherine was clad in an ancient type of wargear, and she bore the symbol of a burning heart where Miriya wore a holy cross crested with a skull. When the saint had been mistress of her sect, they had been known as the Order of the Fiery Heart - but that had been decades before Katherine’s brutal ending on Mnestteus. Since that date, for over two millennia they had called themselves the Order of Our Martyred Lady. It was part of a legacy of duty to the Emperor that Sister Miriya of the Adepta Sororitas had been fortunate to continue. With that thought, she looked upon the effigy of Him. She met the stone eyes and imagined that on far distant Terra, the Lord of Humanity was granting her some infinitely small fraction of His divine attention, willing her to carry out her latest mission with His blessing. Miriya’s hands came to her chest and crossed one another, making the sign of the Imperial aquila. ‘In Your name,’ she said aloud. ‘In service to Your Light, grant me guidance and strength. Let me know the witch and the heretic, show them to me.’ She bowed once again. ‘Let me do Your bidding and rid the galaxy of man’s foe...’{Faith and Fire, James Swallow}
'Imogen had stood to arms in the role of adjutant and guardian to Sepherina at a meeting on Apophis, a repurposed asteroid in high orbit around Holy Terra. The site belonged to the Ordo Xenos, and what glimpses the Sisters had been granted of the complex’s interior were fleeting, giving rise to worrisome questions as to exactly what the Inquisition’s alien hunters did there. The thought of being in close proximity to anything connected to heathen non-human life made the woman’s skin crawl. Sister Imogen had fought the xenos many times, killing ork and eldar, and any number of other nameless things that aped the intellect and perfection of mankind. As they walked through the snaking lava-tube corridors inside Apophis, she had kept one hand close to her bolter, and the other on the chaplet that hung around her neck. Finally, Sepherina and her party had been shown into a meeting room laser-cut from the dense meteoric stone, and left to wait until the man who summoned them finally graced the Sisterhood with his presence. Inquisitor Hoth, a male of stocky build beneath a wide-brimmed preacher hat, entered with his own retinue: a pair of gunmen who showed the manner of mercenaries more than virtuous servants of the Golden Throne. The men surveyed the Sisters with eyes that were wary and predatory in equal measure. Imogen had let them look at her, concealing nothing. Better that they see the steel and plate of her power armour, better they know the presence of her gun and blade. She recognised men like them. They understood only crude vectors of approach, force and violence. Eventually, they looked away, and for the rest of the meeting kept their gazes turned elsewhere. Hoth, on the other hand, radiated a singular air of unconcern that bordered on condescension. He took a seat and busied himself with a data-slate, picking at icons on the screen, moving them back and forth like beads on an ancient abacus. Imogen was uncertain if he were actually working on something, or if he were toying with the device to amuse himself. The man behaved as if he was barely aware of them in the room with him. Hoth had granted them audience after a long silence. The deposition from the Sisterhood had come in person to ask again upon a request, which had been circling through the vast machine of Imperial bureaucracy for almost seven solar years. Such a period of time was little more than the blink of an eye, when measured against the monumental epochs of officialdom that weighed down most decisions made by the Adeptus Terra and the great organisations of the Imperium. But for the Order of Our Martyred Lady, it had been as if a century passed for each wasted day. Seven years before they met in that stone chamber, the convent at Sanctuary 101 had gone dark, the last communication from it an agonised scream. As ever, the engine of empire moved slowly, but the Sisters had made ready to set sail for the Kavir system, preparing ships and warriors, only to be prevented from departing by the Ministorum itself. It came to pass that on the advice of the Ordo Xenos and the personal diktat of Inquisitor Hoth, the Sisterhood were denied permission to return to Sanctuary 101 and determine what had happened there. Of all the Canoness Minoris in the Order, Sister Sepherina had been the most vocal over this insult to the authority of the Sororitas. The Ordo Xenos had no power over the Sisterhood, and yet Hoth had drawn on his own vast web of influence to convince those who did that he, not the Sisters, should be first to Sanctuary 101 in the wake of this mysterious event. The matter had created great enmity between the two organisations, and much in the way of politicking and sharp words, all of them for nothing. The inquisitor was known to Imogen’s Order, and his interest - some said his obsession - with certain strains of alien life was not a secret. But despite all the entreaties, the requests and veiled threats, Hoth had made sure the order remained in place. Until that day. Without explanation, without apology or acknowledgement of the Sisterhood’s great pain, he told them they now had leave to return to the planet and lay the ghosts of their dead to rest.
‘My interest,’ he said, ‘has shifted to other matters.’
Sepherina exploded with questions and demands as Hoth stood up after making his pronouncement.
What happened at the convent? Did anyone survive? Did you go there? The inquisitor ignored them all, and finally the canoness was railing at nothing as Hoth crossed back towards the door. It was the first time, in years of duty alongside the other woman, that Imogen had ever seen Sepherina lose her temper. Seven years of being banned from setting foot upon their own outpost world, with only the vaguest of justifications, seven years of rumours about the invasion of a new kind of alien form, all cast aside in a moment. And so, in the nine hundred and third year of the forty-first millennium of the Imperium of Man, Canoness Sepherina was empowered to command a mission back to the silent outpost. Even with good warp currents, six more years Terran standard time had elapsed as the starship Tybalt travelled first to Paramar to equip, and then on to the distant Kavir system...'{Sanctuary 101Incident - Hammer and Anvil, James Swallow}
‘Mea fides est, et ferrum armis.’ - My faith is my shield and my blade.
‘Holy Emperor, enthroned on Terra, look upon Your servants, Fill our hearts with Your holy rage, that the attacks of the enemy might melt before our ire. Fill our arms with Your strength, that we may smite these contemptible foes from Your sight. Fill our souls with Your steadfast vigilance, that no force that assails us may turn us from Your righteous purpose.’
Please split into paragraphs
You deserve the like just for typing all of that. A credit to your FAITH!
Every video I just imagine you in front of a fire place surrounded by a library of books with a glass of brandy in one hand and a nook in the other reading to us.
Thank you so much your original sisters video is what got me into your channel
Thanks brother. :).
my body and my soul are ready *clicks play*
I know nothing of W40K but hearing these stories really brings me into the lore, even giving me shivers.
A wonderful video as always Baldermort.
Cracking storytelling. It's a great thing that the sisters are not seen as lesser in anyway in our world than that of men.
Brother Baldermort
This vid came at the best time possible
The cadets of C company at my school and I have had a really really hard week
We have suffered and been battered by events beyond or control
Yet some of the lads and I still watch the vids to get our mind off the world.
Thank you sir
Regards from C Company
I am very sorry indeed that C Company has been through the wringer this week. :(. I can only hope next week is much MUCH better.
Thank you for your service! All of you!
@@Baldermort sir we are maritime cadets (merchantmen) in Galveston TX and we lost one of our lads and the company took it hard
Thanks for your support I’ll pass it on to the lads
@@jonathanfrank1189 I am so incredibly sorry for your loss brothers. Be strong. Be brave enough to mourn.
You must bring back the sister from the "penitent engine" video. Since hearing her voice, each time I have read anything about the sisters, it's been her voice in my head.
I was trying, but she went back to uni early. After summer it’ll be regular I’d imagine.
@@Baldermort Excellent my friend. I look forward to your future endeavors. For Saguineous!
I was hoping Gremlin Girl would be back as I just watched the penitent engine vid. Alas, we shall have to wait a little longer. :)
Is that story connected to this one?
Games Workshop should throw tons of money on you Baldmort! I loved the sister's introduction (listened to it 20 times at least) and now you bring this
Glad you liked it brother. :)
Just got back from the dentist checked my phone and saw that sweet relief has finally arrived
Ah the Sisters, one of my favorite factions in 40k, and the Order of our Martyred lady is my favorite Order of the Sisters.
sweet glad you talked about the Sisters of Battle and this group of them. *Raised his Glass to salute them*
Thank you good Sir! Right in time for my painting session. Splendid!
Im just starting to get into 40k and i choose the sisters as my first army and its awesome to get to see this while painting them.
Emperor be praised, wonderful telling of memories of my beloved fellow sisters, may you be exalted and admired for such a show of faith and admiration. This does not mean we wont have to cleanse you for past actions, but for a while you are safe .
Oh yes, i didn't expect the story to be continued, but i love it
Your original prognostications on the Sisters of Battle truly made me weep.
"Not with your mouth... not with your lips... say it with your soul."
"THE EMPEROR PROTECTS."
As somebody who got hooked on the sisters thanks to your other video, I'm happy you continued this.
Looking very much forward to the next.
I turned 50 on January 25th. Another video about the Adepta Sororitas is wonderful present indeed Brother! You have made this Sister happy!
Happy birthday! I hope it’s a wonderful year ahead for you, despite how it’s starting. :)
Your stories really help me with this isolation. Thank you again good sir.
Hope to see the other sub-factions of the Adepta Sororitas as well. Keep up the good work :D
beautiful storytelling this just made me commit to a battle sisters army
Exquisite story telling. Very very entertaining. Another please.
Loved the preceding entry.
Excited to listen after work!
Sister, bring the flamer to purge the nurglite plague! Yes the Heavy Blessed Flamer!
It always astonishes me how eloquent you are, and how well structured your videos come out. Thank you for your hard work Baldy, hope ya have a wonderful year.
Send me any voiceovers you wish to sound feminine, I can very likely process them to something much closer.
I’ll just females in when I find some. I work on a zero time delay. Sorry. It’s up and do it. :)?
@@Baldermort completely understand, just thought I would offer
@@RussMullins and you’ll never know how much that meant to me brother. Thank you!!!!!
The only sermon you won't miss for fear of getting shot into a pulp! Great work, Brother!!
Your writing and voice work is incredible. Thank you so much.
Me: Madame Siroritas, does this unit have a soul..?
Siroritas: (Aim’s bolter)
Also me: I thought So.
Just throw some random brain bits in a jar, say it's yours, and offer the Mechanicus some juicy technology. They'll take you in.
I love Saint Praxedes' rules from old 3rd ed Apocalypse. She carried the "Sceptre of Vengeance". A thunderhammer, where when hit, the target LOST A PSYCHIC POWER, INCLUDING TYRANID SYNAPSE.
By the Emperor. Fear the "light" of Jos
Another great tale, and the history of The Sororitas that speaks of legends. Well Done, Brother Baldermort.
"My Battle Sister can't be this cute!" That's some nice art work.
I love the visual at 21:57, a Sister of Battle going against what looks like an Eldar Wych
Ya after work I'm reinstalling DOW soul storm and playing a sisters of battle campaign.
Perfect Timing painting my sisters RN
Okay, really a great story opening and entry on the SoOML; but without giving any spoilers, and having seen the foreshadowing done, the final meeting between our bluff but stalwart guardsman and the native imho stretched credibility past its breaking point. Happy to debate somewhere where I wouldn’t ruin the story for anyone, but overall 9/10. Well done, again, Sir Balders.
Ah, it is the strange and unpredictable that make the throne greatest tales. Just FB message me. But I may not reveal all at once.
Well I just had to buy the Sororitas DLC after this seriously.
Great video, amazing VA
Great start to the weekend thank you Sir
Baldermort you never cease to make your content fresh and absolutely amazing. Now me and my wife sit on our bed and set up her IPad and watch your videos. Like I have told you before I work a lot and so does my wife. Your work is giving something to bring us together and spend quality time . Thank you so much Brother. Your content is more than just lore, it’s actually helping keep a marriage healthy!
Can’t wait to see what’s next!
Currently painting sisters right now. Glad to see more Soroitas content
Aww yessss!! Gotta love some nuns with guns!!!
Some of the best non space marine / imperial models ever!!
The choir worthy of the Emperor's wrath! If only the same could be said about their official models...
I love that little teaser at the end there bald 1 , and I've just checked you even used the same music , just brilliant well done sir
I enjoy your writing almost as much as your narration. Well done!
Thank you! 😊
Yesterday i watched the entry on the sisters of battle again, and was silently praying to the emperor for another entry on the subject!! And he has granted me my wish!! Thank you good sir for the amazing content!
Wow what a performance! This is how I picture SoB in my head. Truly amazing. How GW hasn't give you both jobs I don't know
Mercy be upon us
For centuries, holy water and crucifixes, in 40k bolters and flamers
I have sister miniature who was from the order of the valorous heart. now she collects skulls for the skull throne. and leads a Renegade's and heretics army. the one and only iconoclast. Its one of my favourite model's i have in my army 😈
It sounds so damn sexy when he says MARTYRED LADY ...
Your videos help make my work day go by, keep up the amazing work!!
I feel infused with righteousness and consumed by the Emperor's Grace.
Wonderful video as always
Great video as always! Love me some sisters of battle ! Stay safe out their my friend.
This storyline is epic.
Thanks for all this content.
Sisters of Battle are one of my favorite 40k Factions. I like the fact that they are not genetically engineered like the Astarte's they are just hyper faithful. I really enjoy Astarte lore as well, but I am a bigger fan of Kreig and Cadia and The Catachan Jungle Fighters and the more "normal human" factions. Great video as always Baldermort!
The Sisters of Battle - The most ferocious of The GEOM's Servants... and yet..? they are also the source of one of it absolute WORST Enemies (Can't WAIT to see if they ever fill in that particular blank! No doub it'd be a REAL page turner!) - The previously mentioned Miriael Sabathiel, and her killing of Both Olga Karamanz (her former canoness) and Inquisitor Tosk, were just the beginning. (Took down and converted a full squad of the Sisters of the Argent Shroud, an entire kill-team of Black Templars, and so many more..)
Many, many thanks for posting this.
(I must also, once again declare that 40K *needs!* you as their official narrator!)
1,000,000/100. Bravo.
(~tips hat!~)
The previous sister sororita entry had my favorite story, the soldier’s story was just phenomenal. Glad to hear the rest of the story.
My favorite Order is the Order of the Ebon Chalice.
1) They are the first, the originals, and the golden standars. They have remained unchanged, and have not diviated from their original intended focus and aim. Unlike other Orders that now focus on past martyrs, or past wrongs, they remain true to the faith.
2) Unlike most (if not all) other Orders, the Ebon Chalice refuses to put on shows to display their piety by showing how mournful they are, or engraged they are, over past wrongs or fallen heroes; all of which borders dangerously close to virtue signaling. They, instead, focus on the here and now to address threats in their current day.
3) They desire other Orders to emulate them, but do so by example and not by external needs to show how special and unique they are. While other Orders are seeking to separate themselves, the Ebon Chalice is welcoming all to be like them. They care more about living and their dedication than by finding ways to distinguish themselves as special snowflakes.
Baldamort sir, I rarely If ever comment, but I feel compelled to tell you that every one of your videos have been absolutely delightful and attention grabbing. They hold my interest like no other lore channel I've seen. Thank you sir for your dedication and hard work in bringing us the level of content that you do. Your labors are greatly appreciated.
I was so ready for a new Sisters story. Thank the Emperor and Mr Baldermort!
I did enjoy this brief induction to the martyred lady glad to hear ear the second part of the tail brilliant well done your faithful list
Truly enjoy the stories so much more content adding them. It what makes you stand head and shoulder above the others.
Your home brew lore is awesome. To the extent that it is considered canon by my gaming group at least. You may not be official, but your contributions are very much appreciated by all that may here them. SALUTE.
Aww yes. The order I am using for my Blood Angels sisters.
Two nuns are walking down the street when they notice that a man is following them.
Sister Michael, the older and wiser nun, says to the young and naïve Sister Patrick, "See that crossroad ahead? You go left and I'll go right: he can't follow us both. We'll meet back at the Abbey."
So the sisters part and the man follows Sister Michael.
Some time later, Sister Patrick is anxiously waiting at the Abbey when Sister Michael returns alone.
"Thank the Lord you are alright!" exclaims Sister Patrick. "But what happened to that man?
"Well," replies Sister Michael, "After a few minutes, I stopped and pulled up my dress."
Sister Patrick stares in shock.
"Then," continues Sister Michael, "he stopped and pulled down his trousers."
Sister Patrick gasps. "Oh, Sister, why would you let him do that?"
"Because," explains Sister Michael, "a nun with her dress up can run faster than a man with his trousers down!"
😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😂🤣🥳🤣
WOOOHOOOO! Thank you Lord Boldermort, you answered my prayers!
Each strike she landed upon the enemies of mankind was a sacred melodic hymnal. Each beheaded heretic a verse of the holy litany of purity. Each immolated xenos a beacon of piety, blazing her offering of faith through the stars to fall before the gaze of the Emperor himself.
She could feel his blessed golden light within her, guiding her bolter true. Each exploding mutant the holiest benediction of her worship, anointing it's vile brethren in a shower of blood and brains by the Emperor's will made manifest.
Videos about Angelica Dominica and the order of the ebon chalice would be very much appreciated. And maybe some more short videos about the core rules of the armies maybe some tips and tactics? Example videos of what a squad can to with their loadout and special items? it is always nice to see your videos! You got me back into the hobby after many long years!
Love when the sisters of battle are in the fray! Such a good representation of strong women thriving in their own element and leading the charge of the faithful. Such an interesting side of the Imperium especially now that the Avenging Son has returned!
Thanks my fried I loved your other sisters videos! I went with OML for my beloved sisters army, I'll get them to 2k this year!
Greetings from Canada and I hope you are well, I must say I am growing concerned with the generous amount of content you are producing hope you don't suffer burnout or sew the seeds of termination of the chanel like so many starting Chanel's . I wish you to thrive because your lore and accompanying audio dramas are sublime and helped me greatly through this year of nergals blessing. Not only make time for fun but for yourself as well and take care
Looking forward to the next series of videos good sir.
Another sublime piece. Can't wait for the next one!
*SLAANESH approves.* >'."
