Adepta Sororitas chapter - to be added ?

[Tripfy]

It'd be great to have the Sisters of battle with heavy flamer act as support to the space marines, next playable class for the coop missions, with Sister Repentia just fanatically charging into the swarms with a chainsword, both would be tiny in size comparison to the space marines :)
Darktide hasn't added them yet and there's no proper 3rd person shooter game where you can play as the Sisters either.

There's no way they will be playable.

I do hope to see some as characters in the game, but as far as I am aware there are none.

Some games where you can play as them do exist, like the above Battle Sister title.

In addition to that, you can play as one in Inquisitor Martyr (budget ARPG), and you can control an entire army of them in Dawn of War. And I feel like you can get...close ish in Darktide.

Give it time and I am sure we will see something. Warhammer 40k video games have been around for ages, but we're only now starting to get to the point where a lot of people are paying attention to it (for better or worse). So I am sure we will get something eventually.

I personally am hoping for Sister of Battle to get a game...but alsooooo the Officio Assassinorum (stealth / assassination game), and some sort of trench warfare game with the Krieg.

I was hyped for Inquisitor Martyr just for the Adepta Astartes, but it honestly boiled down to a very boring gameplay, it's also not a 3rd person shooter.
It's odd that Darktide hasn't added anything Sisters related, when the zealots get quite close to Repentia, but that game is getting still less support than Vermintide 2.
I was really hoping for Sisters of battle in this one, even as future DLC for a playable class, but the puritans really hate the idea of this so guess we're not getting anything x_x

They aren't astartes and while awesome that can't match astartes in battle either. So a SoB would only slow down a Space Marine squad.

Darktide won't add Sisters of Battle for the same reason they won't add Space Marines or assassins or any other powerful units. Your're supposed to be, at best, a lowly guardsman who messed up and went to prison.

Sisters of Battle are highly trained, and even raised differently than your typical guardsman.

Inquisitor Martyr is definitely a budget title. Feels ok for what it is. But not amazing.

As for the "puritans", I mean...the game is literally named Space Marine 2. So it makes sense that we're playing...Space Marines. Plus, the sheer amount of work that went into animating the space marines, making the models, making the customization....basically nothing would carry over to the Sisters of Battle, they'd have to start from scratch, and that would be costly I'm sure.

sisters of battle would be nice but tbh we need more chaos legions first

and ofc more classes for both traitors and loyalists and in-depth customization (for chaos at least)

That's why a SoB or mortal human generally missions might be fun. Adding an SoB class to an SM squad is sorta like adding a Custodes to an SM squad, it is impossible to balance. Librarians will probably not be added as a playable class for similar reasons.

I'm personally hoping for a chaplain and apothecary....maybe a tech marine.

I doubt terminators would make it in.

Not sure what else there is.

Adepta Sororitas is not Space Marine Chapter. They are their own thing.

This too. I just noticed OP called them the Sisters of Battle chapter, and said Adepta Astartes too...which I'm starting to wonder if is a very cleverly disguised troll post lol

But if not, they are indeed different from Space Marines and not a chapter of Space Marines.

Sisters of Silence are another entirely separate sub-faction of the Imperium that are really cool.

Sisters can wield Meltagun, Heavy bolter and flamer, Eviscerator and others. These are just weapons and it doesn't really matter who wields them, I could see the point in melee only.
It'd also add another perspective to play from POV of Sister of Batle, staring at the huge Space Marines :)

Tech Marine as an Engineer class, like those weapons on tracks maybe? I haven't played the game yet, so not sure how much vehicle or Dreadnought play there is to make a repairer niche worth while.

This sot of thing I am thinking about: https://www.warhammer.com/en-GB/shop/Space-Marine-Rapier-Laser-Destroyer?queryID=6f9ef15c2b6ecf9b04dcb20c7bb1785e

We're not just talking about guns though. Space Marine power armor, and overall physical power from their absurd amounts of body modifications. If we are talking a one on one fight, marines will almost always win.

Not to say that a SoB could not win. There was a short story of a guardsman outsmarting three or four Space Marines in a training exercise. He got the jump on one, and then "blew up" the others with a fake explosive.

So if a guardsman can do it, a SoB could too. Space Marines aren't invincible demigods. They aren't even the top of the food chain within the Imperium.

Sisters would be cool but I doubt we'd get them in game without it being an actual major DLC in the future. For now, just grab your Multi Melta, be a Salamander and keep your fingers crossed.

This is a super human vs standard human situation. Pretty sure SMs have improved senses, stamina and such too.

There's no vehicle repair. But they could have other functions like...regenerate Space Marine armor, or maybe have some kind of deployable turret. I don't really know if that's a thing in 40k lore for tech marines or not to be honest, but it feels like it fits them.

Limiting SoB to just COOP missions would fix that issue, as they are the support and shouldn't really go against SM in one on one combat. It would be a nice addition, that's why I've made the post and was just honestly hoping to finally play a proper version of Sister.
