Also worth noting that Cain's own Regiments veteran (and commanding) officers are also in awe of the Sisterhood. Since they don't share the same command structure things can get complicated.ĪLEXisAWESOME wrote: The 'cannon' reason SoB and IG were fighting in Soulstorm is because the Cannoness named the Lord General incompetent for allowing the sector to get into that state of affairs, and when he refused to step down she named him heretic and got the Sororitias gears rolling. So the average Guardsmen would be happy to see a SoB on the battlefield beside him, however the commanders may not.

On the otherhand during an invasion of a Scholar Progium (or some such fake latin) the Sister Novices proved very effective under Veterans commands, being better trained and more effective then any of his other troops. They were so happy to go Martyr themselves they couldn't be trusted to hold the line instead of running after retreating xenos.

Ultimately you could blame the fact that GW wrote the Imperium to be half of the game's Codexes while pretty much every other faction in the game is limited to a single Codex. if so, you cannot use the Imperial Fists secondary objective (Bolster. In this particular case it's because the campaign mode decided to pit every playable army in the game against each other and completely ignored the fact that loyalist Space Marines, Imperial Guard and Sisters of Battle are all actually allies in the lore. who are yet to get hold of their 9th edition Codex or Codex supplement. Imperial Guard are very familiar with Sororitas and they're often a very welcome sight, due to the Imperium's rigid enforcement of its state religion.Īn Imperial Guard tabletop army with a smaller points value of Sororitas allies would be pretty damned fluffy.Ĭool, but, why were they fighting the Guard in DoW Soulstorm?īecause Soulstorm is stupid for a wide variety of reasons. The Sororitas generally guard Ecclesiarchy property/personnel and pilgrimage routes, but when a war breaks out and they happen to be there, they reinforce the Imperial Guard and help hold the line.
