But I don't know anywhere where it says they have families and children and so on. Because one sister on one account (or a few even), have time to partake in R&R, does not necessarily refute the trope and character image GW has established for them.





Yes that's true and I agree here when it comes to Imperial Guardsmen and other facets of the 40k universe.

And yes I agree they don't necessarily need be celibate or take such a vow. But also don't believe 'families, husbands, long term close romantic relationships, as you mentioned' are either part of their established Celibate Nun image, nor is it part of the lore. Again I admit I've not read every single BL book, but I'd welcome a source or book so I can read it and learn more.

Now, it is mentioned, that most sister do take vows of poverty and devotion, celibacy is not mentioned at all and never was

A quote from amberly states " Contrary to popular belief, the Adepta Soroitas doesn't actually require members to remain celibate, although few find the time to take advantage of the fact. "

If a high ranking sister has a relationship, I do see no reason for others to not have as again, there was never mentioned, nor stated ever, that such would be forbidden.

You might try to the Cain Books, to find more, but we know relationships do extist, by lore, while we also know, celibacy or such was never mentioned anywhere in the Lore.

To be fair, some (Many?) do take vows of celibacy and the like. But it's not universal, and it's not compulsory or required.

Yeah, and a rock quarry's a great place to have a relaxing picnic if you can ignore all the dynamite explosions.

Also, she's not a space nun, and Adepta Sororitas do not have vows of celibacy, never had.

And I suppose I'm just ignorant and unenlightened if I refer to that large, two-handed earth spoon that guy's digging with as a 'shovel'.

Even if there are finer distinctions that can and should be made, at the end of the day a spade is a spade and a duck is a duck, and sometimes conversations around something can become so mind-numbingly toxic my brain indelibly links the two together and I can't think about one without thinking of the other. I envy you if that isn't something you need to worry about.

Some do, some do not, and if they do, it is a personnal decision, not a must, it is not a sisters only thing at all, many people, from many different organizations decide to be celibate, but the church does not forbid it, and we know, relationships do exist, and since they are not augmented, nor is it forbidden to have children for them either, ya know, love affairs can certainly lead to pregnancy.

Let us also not forget, that they are still, normal woman, not augmented or genetically conditioned like Space Marines to have no desires or feel much love at all.

I think this is the same reference. If I recall this was the editor clarifying that Sisters aren't necessarily forbidden from relations. I also don't think it's unrealistic. And I agree, I would see them eloping in R&R on occasion.

But I don't know that they as a whole are the sort to establish a family, have a husband, kids, and be a weekend warrior.

Again, aside from that one paragraph from Cain's Last Stand.

Cain Book(s)? You mean Cain's Last Stand?

Also note:
"It should be noted that her case is atypical as in-universe she isn't on the front lines and she teaches novitiates in the Schola Progenium, thus giving her the time to pursue such things and outside of the text, the Cain series is essentially a comedy"

Goge Vandire managed it.

It happens, I can certainly see a child being raised by some guardsmen or whatnot, while momy is out there, fighting for her devotion and god emperor, and yes, there are absolutely orders, in which sisters have time to have relationships of the kind.

But warhammer is not really focusing on such things at all, unless they speak about slaanesh cult stuff.

Relationships do exist, and considering how many laws and regulations the Imperium has, and how detailed GW or approved authors go into them often enough, it would have been mentioned if there was a no go romance for sisters of battle somewhere, which never was at all anywhere.

Yeah, stories with Sisters of Battle in them. They go into detail and touch about their normal lives with famiies and kids and husbands?

Also, as an aside, aren't the relationships in the game just quick one off trysts?

Been years since I read them, but yes, some stuff is mentioned, not focused on though, as it is warhammer, and as for the Game, uhhhh I have not pursued any romance there yet to be honest and not playing for now, as I wait for the thursday patch.

Give that there are separate achievements for 'Start a Romance' and 'Found True Love' I'm assuming they're not just one off event.

Dang. Oh well. Still there's better options than a dogmatic religious woman. Dogmatic religious people value chastity. and temperance.

They value chastity before marriage, and there's nothing in lore anywhere talking about chastity ever.

That's literally how pretty much everyone views it. Anything with the official TW logos on them is canon until contradicted by a higher source. And even if contradicted that doesn't necessarily make it not-canon. Characters could be lying, remembering wrong, etc. (unreliable narrator), and other such reasons.

But anyone remotely involved in the warhammer community will see you for the tourist you are if you dismiss officially stamped novels.

It still doesn't change the facts.

Correct, the facts are the facts. And the facts are what I just laid out, and that you're making an embarrassment of yourself.
