l0rdtr3k: Have GW forgotten about the Sisters? AFAIK,they played a pivotal role when Horus invaded Holy Terra or do I really need to study the lore some more?
And I hate what GW is doing to several of their games,just forgetting that they existed. Anyway,in 2 hours there'll be my game of Wolves vs Death Guard and I like both Chapters but I prefer Nurgle especially after I started reading about it. Big fan of body horror here.
The Horus Heresy was during the early centuries of the 31st Millennium, the Adepta Sororitas was founding during the 36th Millennium, but mainly formed from the events of the Age of Apostasy's Reign of Blood. So they played no part in it.
The Sisters did defend the Golden Throne against the Imperium Guard and the Adeptus Astartes during the Age of Apostasy when they were being lied to by High Lord Goge Vandire. The Adeptus Astartes were unable to even enter the palace, so fierce was the Sisters defence of the God-Emperor. During the siege of the Ecclesiarchal Palace on Terra, the Adeptus Custodes, the defenders of the Emperor Himself, granted the sisters a rare and almost unheard of privilege. They allowed Alicia Dominica (Patron Saint of the Sisterhood) and her personal escort to have an audience with the God-Emperor himself. Nothing is know of what they spoke of, or what they heard from the God-Emperor, but after leaving the Golden Thrown, Alicia Dominica went straight to the traitor Vandire and executed him, ending his evil attempt at usurping the God-Emperor.
