Battle Sisters argument

[PsychaChi]

So here is the example you all must think of when it comes to the strength of a sister: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLMhhAIYpZ4

Now this argument is shallow. The main complaint is they shouldn't exist in this because of the enemies we face. So somehow without genetic modifications we can't kill Tyranids? With that logic the Astra Militarum should just disband then.

Now here is a short lore standpoint of why sisters should be considered into a DLC arc for this game with the gameplay we have: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASrZMa2xzDk

In the lore they face the same enemies and undergo the same training as marines do. They handle the same weaponry thanks to their own power armor. The only major difference is they don't get the genetic strength modifications and other utility marines have with their bodies. They don't get an extra kidney in each boob and an extra lung in each butt cheek or a USB port in their V.

They also to boot have a better track record than the marines when it comes to chaos and going rogue. They'd rather shoot themselves than be a heretic.

I just want to play my white haired queen and shoot some ♥♥♥♥. The bum I'm currently playing can't seem to be agile enough to dodge a few whips from a Tyranid or swing his chainsword correctly.(gameplay gripe mainly, I know they can for sure perform in lore/reality of the universe).



The sad truth and reason I think they wont bring them is completely because they baselined the game and models already and it would be too much man hours to create sisters and work them into interacting with the game as it stands but there is hope if they care to put in the effort.

But with the devs track record I doubt they'll put in the world. WWZ sucked ass.

I mean maybe? but then would it be called Space Marine? remember this (the SP campaign and coop) you play a Marine from a space marine chapter, maybe an entirely new game where you play a character from sisters of battle... my point is you start adding in a another race then others would want theirs (WH40k TT players race / armies) in to, what about necron, orks, heck why cant i play as the 'nids.
then it becomes an entirely different game! the main focus of the game is playing Lt Titus against the enemies of the golden throne... I would love to see an mmo or rpg style game that included all the races and such

Why does this need to be an issue. Just yell at GW to finally get off their lazy pandering asses and DO something with the Sisters of Silence or the Sororitas. Besides that...

Just enjoy the game. Seriously.

I have female friends that don't play any Warhammer 40k games due to not having sisters of battle so I can understand your frustration, but rather they play the tabletop. It is called Space marine 2 so I doubt we'll see any sisters of battle but who knows they might had them in for the upcoming horde mode? (Highly doubt it) Rouge trader is fantastic game you should look into it, easily on pare with Baldur's gate 3 imo. Has lost of female options including a sister of battle.

when we say space marines are genetically modified we mean it they are so much bigger then regular humans have multiple important organs like 2 hearts they are so modifed the can survive in the vacuum of space or under water for extremely long periods of time some space marines are not even that amazing that is not this group of Astarte`s titus is a extreme bad ass even amongst demi gods! while the sisters of battle are super bad ass and can do some amazing feats with their faith they can not stand toe to toe with a carnifix and fight it hand to hand !
this said there is no reason they could not make a unique class that plays very different to a space marine and add the sisters the only thing that would make this weird is they are not established in the main story as being on the world and they would not send sisters of battle to deal with this situation !

The Astra Millitarum is the backbone of the Imperium and it is like that, because of its numbers. They throw bodys and machinery in the trillions against the enemys and billions of them get killed in that act. But they are recruitable in nearly every sector and therefore also deployable in nearly every sector, unlike space marines wich are limited to 1000 per chapter, besides some chapters wich refuse to stick to this rule wich is in play since the horus heresy. Space marines are also not easy to recruit, modified. This takes much longer then training some regular humans to shoot a lasgun.

Do you know why you find dead SoBs on the battlefield with undamaged power armor? Because they sometimes get thrown around in this armor like a flipper ball, when orks or nids throw them around or simply run them over or because of explosion blastwaves. They simply dont have the bodies of a space marine. Its even extremly "unrealistic" that 3 space marines alone fight such a mass of nids on their own ...

Know your enemy ...

They are not simple bugs, they are highly enhanced bioforms with armor, somtimes supirior to armor of space marines, even terminator armor. Their shadow in the warp hinders communication, warp travel and psyker ability. Their hive mind is responsible for complex strategic and tacticle, pricise atatcks agains any enemy and often far supiror. They can adapt to nearly every situation in no time by creating new bioforms/lifeforms.

Its actually crazy to make a game where you suggest 3 marines fight thousands of them alone and now you come around the corbner with your cute little SoB (joking) xD

No way ... not this time and im maybe more sad about this then you :_(

PS: to be fair, SMs can also be thrown around by big enemys xD

Yea its the same reason they wont add orks.. People want them as an enemy type for missions but since they weren't in the story it wont make it..

Maybe a story DLC will add them I guess.

With how things are playing in operations now where people are 80% dodge rolling through missions instead of fighting marines are weak as hell.
