Order of the Sacred Rose

"So, how exactly do you train Sisters?" Chen Xi mused, stroking his chin before suddenly finding himself in a quandary.

While he played the Sisters of Battle faction and even had Sister miniatures, his understanding of them wasn't particularly deep. He hadn't read any official Sisters of Battle novels, nor had he perused their codex, only glancing at the index when building army lists.

Therefore, he wasn't entirely sure how to train a Sisters of Battle force in the 40k era.

However, he didn't fret too much. Instead, he pulled out his phone and contacted a friend in his Warhammer group who primarily played Sisters of Battle.

"Goose, do you know how the Sisters of Battle are recruited and trained in 40k?" Chen Xi asked.

This person was a rare female Warhammer enthusiast in Chen Xi's group, a seasoned player with approximately 4000 points worth of Sisters of Battle miniatures.

"Recruit and train Sisters of Battle? Just build a convent! Once the convent is built, apply to the Sisters of Battle Order in the sector for them to move in. They usually don't refuse," Goose quickly replied to Chen Xi, then curiously asked, "Why are you asking? I saw the pictures you posted in the group earlier. Are you up to something big? Count me in if there's anything good!"

"Nothing big, just trying to understand," Chen Xi said, not revealing anything more.

It wasn't the time to disclose the ability to travel through the Warhammer world to his friends, especially since he lacked sufficient groundwork.

However, Chen Xi still asked Goose, "If you could travel to the Warhammer world, what would you do?"

"Travel to the Warhammer world? Goose wants to be a super-huge guy with nothing but muscles in his brain! I want to see what it feels like to punch a bad 'un's head into his chest cavity!" Goose replied, in a manner completely uncharacteristic of her.

Chen Xi looked at Goose's response, feeling his brain tie itself in knots, but still replied, "A Goliath from Necromunda? Then you'd have to go to Escher and kidnap some gene-sisters to inject you with growth hormones."

"Yeah, yeah! Those super-huge guys with pointy heads and nothing but muscles in their brains!" Goose excitedly responded, with an urge to go waaaagh! with Gork and Mork.

Chen Xi really didn't know what to say to this, only asking, "Aren't you a Sisters player?"

"Yeah, but Boltgun babes aren't strong enough, not enough waaaagh! But I don't really want to play Orks," Goose's answer was very Ork-like.

Chen Xi couldn't help but wonder if she would become a warboss rivaling Ghazghkull if she were to travel to the Warhammer world and become an Ork.

However, these weren't the main point. After Chen Xi had a clear understanding of how to recruit and train Sisters of Battle from Goose, he ended the conversation.

Turning his attention back to his miniature shelf, Chen Xi picked and chose from the Sisters of Battle miniatures, preparing to select suitable ones to deploy to Rostov II.

He currently had about two hundred points to use. If he deployed combat squads, about two squads could fill those points.

But if he used special units, Chen Xi estimated that he could deploy about four to five.

After thinking for a moment, he took the Canoness (50 points), Palatine (50 points), Dialogus (45 points), and Imagifier (40 points) from the shelf in turn, regrettably putting down the Hospitaller (50 points) after estimating the points.

(Canoness)

(Palatine)

(Dialogus)

(Imagifier)

(Hospitaller)

Currently, he had deployed Eisenhorn (65 points), a Sisters of Battle squad (100 points), and Kasrkin Shock Troopers (100 points). Now, adding these four miniatures, he would use up exactly 500 points.

Although it was a bit of a pity to leave out a Hospitaller, he had assembled the Sisters of Battle miniatures he needed.

The Canoness was the highest leader of a Sisterhood, equivalent to a Space Marine Chapter Master.

The Palatine was similar to a Space Marine Captain, a combat unit commander, while the Dialogus and Imagifier were corresponding support personnel.

It could be said that they just constituted the main leadership, decision-making, and command team of a Sisterhood. With some auxiliary personnel, they could support the basic operation of a Sisterhood.

According to Goose, Chen Xi only needed to build a convent on Rostov II to accommodate the Sisterhood, and then apply to the local sector's Adeptus Ministorum and the Sisters of Battle Order to obtain a Sisterhood garrison.

But Chen Xi didn't intend to do so, instead planning to use his miniatures to complete the Sisterhood's garrison.

After all, applying to the local sector's Adeptus Ministorum and the Sisters of Battle Order would mean the Sisters of Battle who came wouldn't be controlled by Chen Xi, which would be an unstable factor.

It had already been said that the Sisters of Battle were all fanatics. Although they were very useful for purging heretics on the planet and could effectively prevent the spread of Chaos contamination, these muscle-brained zealots were not so easy to control.

Once problems arose, they would be as difficult to control as wild horses and might even turn into a pack of mad dogs.

Here, it was necessary to mention the Order of the Bloody Rose, one of the six major Orders of the Sisters of Battle. They wore all-red armor, and just the name was enough to know that they were galactic mean girls who were more ferocious at chopping people up than Khorne Bloodletters.

They believed that every breath heretics took in the world was a blasphemy against the God-Emperor and would be very fanatical when encountering heretics on the battlefield.

Chen Xi wasn't confident in controlling such a group of fanatics.

So he decided to just use his miniatures to pull together a Sisterhood, so that at least he wouldn't have to worry too much about problems during combat command and daily life.

"Contact the Adeptus Ministorum of the sector through the local Adeptus Ministorum of Rostov II, and then apply for a Sisterhood's establishment. Once the establishment is obtained, the recruitment and training of the remaining personnel will be simple." Chen Xi went through the entire plan in his mind, and after confirming that there were no problems, he put the four miniatures into the box and deployed them to the Inquisitorial Governor's side.

After completing the deployment, Chen Xi then issued new orders to the miniatures, instructing the Inquisitorial Governor and the Canoness to contact the Bishop of the Adeptus Ministorum of Rostov II and propose the construction of a convent and the establishment of a Sisterhood.

"Speaking of which, my miniatures are all from the Order of the Sacred Rose. What are the characteristics of this Order... It seems to be disciplined, calm, and has perfect tactical coordination..." Chen Xi muttered to himself. Although the Sisters of Battle miniatures were all universal, the six major Orders could still be distinguished in terms of painting: "Although the Sacred Rose is rarely used on the tabletop, they are undoubtedly much easier to use than other zealots in reality."
