CommissarZac Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 (edited) *I hereby declare this challenge complete* Jumping headlong into the Liber challenge I present The Order of the Blushing Maidenhttp://orig03.deviantart.net/3cc8/f/2015/082/d/d/sister2_by_63mh8-d8mswtg.pngOrder name: Order of the Blushing MaidenHome planet: JoutinheimName of its Founder: Hospitaler CouletteNotable Sisters: Saint Isabel, Sister MaryNotable Allies: Joutinheim 798th Armored Regiment. History: The Order of The Blushing Maiden As the Order of the Healing Light was pushed back to it's last stronghold, Sister Colette was tending to her Canoness' wounds. But no matter how hard she tried Canoness Meriweather's wounds were as stubborn as she was. Her leader lay dying in her arms. “My Lady I am sorry, I have done all I can. It is in His hands now.” Colette told her. “Reinforcements are imminent my dear.” Meriweather said calmly. “My time is near. Even now I can hear our Glorious Emperor call me to his side. But you my dear, You must live on. You must live to tell our tale.” She said as the sounds of battle grew even closer to the stronghold. She could hear her sisters being slaughtered in the halls. While they were Sororitas and capable of defending themselves, they were not the Orders Militant, who were better trained in the combat arts. “I will My Lady.” Colette said as she fought off her internal fear and steeled her resolve. She took her Godwyn Diaz pattern Bolter and took a position of overwatch on the door to the Canoness's office. “May His light guide you my child.” The Canoness said with her dying breath The sounds of battle were now just outside the door. The foul Xenos were battering down the thick steel door. Suddenly the door was blown off it's hinges by some xenos demolition charge. Squad after squad of Tau soldiers filed into the room. Each falling before getting off a shot. Sister Colette was running low on ammo and feared she would not be able to keep her promise to her former Canoness. As her bolter ran dry and the foul xenos surrounded her bright flashes of light suddenly puncture the xenos chests. Scions of His Emperor's Militarum Tempestus stormed into the room. They slayed the tau and quickly escorted Sister Colette out to the main plaza to a waiting Tarox Prime, Gatling cannon blazing. As the elite troops loaded up in astonishing speed the Tarox them proceeded to punch through the retaining wall and out to a waiting Sky Talon Valkyrie. The clamps grasped tight as the engines roared and Sister Colette felt the inertia of flight. Once aboard the shuttle, on its way to the awaiting fleet, Colette was brought to the medicaid, and her wounds tended to. ***TWO WEEKS LATER*** Sister Colette's wounds were minor and in no time she kept herself busy in the medicaid doing menial tasks. As Commissar Wilhelm entered the aid station "Honored Sister,” he hesitated. “I bring news from your Abbess.” he finished as he handed her the Data slate with a message from the Abbess. Significant battles joined: Repelled the Arch-enemy's invasion of Joutinheim, currently fighting the Foul Xenos Orks on Oricron VI. Read up on their battles here Comments, critiques, Advice, is always welcome.

*Furyou Miko Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 It's, uh, certainly colourful. Are the origins of the Order's colour scheme/name detailed in that other post? CommissarZac 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CommissarZac Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 The basic fluff I'm going with is the Order's Founding Hospitler, was keeping a Commissar from Hypothermia in the "usual" fashion.

KhorneFlakes Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 A great way to troll a friend of mine is go on about how Sisters are all about the "hanky panky". Never gets old CommissarZac 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommissarZac Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 I like the idea of trolling by making an awesome army and naming it something frilly. Everyone expects to be beat by the Bulldawgs, or the wolves, etc. No one will live down being beat by the Hello Kitty Brigade.

*Furyou Miko Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 I can't be the only one who finds the idea of a guardsman in flak armour protecting a Sister in power armour an amusing commentary on the folly of chauvinism, can I?

Bjorn Firewalker Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Best counter to chauvinism: turn it around. Sister of Battle (lifting the guardsman off his feet, and holding him before her like a shield): "Thank you for protecting me. I really appreciate you taking these wounds in my place. Oh, here comes a Traitor Marine of the World Eaters Legion! You might want to close your eyes."

*Furyou Miko Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 That wasn't intended to start a discussion on chauvinism, which would be against board rules, but yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevak Dal Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 That's a funny picture. I'd figure he's probably just used to fighting with other men and didn't realize or think about it, but maybe I'm looking too much into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd figure he's probably just used to fighting with other men and didn't realize or think about it, but maybe I'm looking too much into it. True. There's actually a series of these pictures forming a small story, also including more guardsmen (including female guardsmen), and I believe a commissar and a space marine. Been a while since I read it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guaran-fething-tee you that when the bolter shells start flying, the last thing the guardsman is thinking about is ceramite-encased mamaries!!! Now, the night before, safe in his bedroll at the bottom of a trench...different story. Bjorn Firewalker 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFlutterPie Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 (edited) I can't be the only one who finds the idea of a guardsman in flak armour protecting a Sister in power armour an amusing commentary on the folly of chauvinism, can I? It's funny because on the tabletop she would be tanking all the ap4 and lower wounds for the guard squad "Let me show you how a REAL servant of the Emperor does things!" *Tanks a whole enemy squads of boltgun fire* "As you were privates." *Edit* I wanted to add that I like the colour scheme. It's got an awesome anime feel to it and is very unique. . Edited March 17, 2015 by MrFlutterPie CommissarZac 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjorn Firewalker Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 From what I saw on the artist's gallery, the guardsman didn't turn his head towards the person he was keeping out of the line-of-fire, until the next scene- he didn't realize the Sister was there, until he felt something different.

If he were facing towards the wall he would be fully aware of what was on both sides and not be in danger of being outflanked or having his arm removed by an upset Battle Sister. [eta] In simple terms, never turn your back towards the enemy. Edited March 17, 2015 by Jacinda Bjorn Firewalker 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Danse Macabre Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Also i will say in all fairness power armour are not our sisters struggle with wearing Helmets and lets face it, they don't have the density of bone that marines have to stop round peircing thier skin. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vonny Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 stupid as it may seem, I get the point of sisters in power armour going unhelmeted. The increased morale boost of seeing the sisters fight by your side, and see that they, too, are human (and not just a walking suit of armour) could possibly be a huge boost. Piety is hard to convey through a helmet's eye-lenses. And of course, going without a helmet is no problem for the sisters. The Emperor Protects. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
