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.

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

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.

Judging by my link, the tracked turrets are massive.

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.

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 :)

But they don't. The Sisters of Battle use chainswords and bolters for ORDINARY humans, the Astartes versions are much larger and more powerful.

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

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.

Yeah I get that, I just think a SoB mission pack DLC(maybe?) would work better, and could go deeper in to SoB lore than just adding them as a new class.

Are you really sure that Heavy Flamer and Heavy bolter do indeed have 2 versions, one for SoB and the other for SM ? I haven't seen a mention that there's a difference, in melee weapons maybe, I've always just assumed that since Sisters can use the heavy weapons, that they're using basically what's manufactured for Space Marines.

I've heard that before, but am not totally sure. I do know however, that the Space Marine's personal bolters are basically made custom for them with extra care put into it. And that their strength/power armor means the crazy recoil on them isn't much of an issue.

Sisters of Battle are a cool faction indeed, but under the current political climate a product featuring them would certainly face a struggle, possibly even flopping outright.

It's a shame that the feminist activists have caused so much harm to the image of strong capable women. If the first Alien movie were go come out now, it would have no chances at becoming such an iconic piece of pop culture that it did back in the day.

They use completely different models of weapons, an ordinary person can't even lift an Astartes chainsword, and they are the size of a person. Bolters and other things have a completely different caliber, for the size of an Astartes.

This game is about Space Marines, though. Wouldn't mind a non-VR game about Adepta Sororitas, though.

Not going to lie, I don't buy into that at all.

If a studio like Saber Interactive or someone else made a solid game about the Sisters of Battle in good faith, then I'm sure it would sell well just like this did.

If that's true, it's a real shame then. I love the Alien and a lot of other movies with strong female protagonist, because they were well made and fun to watch with likable characters, unlike for example the terrible feminist remake of Ghost Busters...

Do you have some source for this ? It'd be interesting to see in comparison the weapon sizes, with weight and some stats on the ammo as well.

would make no sense your a space marine why mix fractions up

Yes. I like my 1/2 separate from my 3/4.

i'm not sure a SoB would fare well in a 3 man squad relative to primaris marines
i remember somewhere stating that the devs tried out 4 man squads and the game became too easy, and that 3 was the sweet spot.

a single primaris is maybe 3, or 4 Sisters equivalent
