Origins of The Sisters of Battle, or Why The Age of Apostasy sucked so much? | Warhammer 40k Lore

"I'm no god," said the immortal giant emperor directly into the minds of his people as he drove his rune engraved flame sword into the demon of the chaos and banished back to hell.

Castodes: "Vandire is lying to you." Sisters: "Fuck you!" Emperor: "Vandire is lying to you." Sisters: "Fuck me!"

Custodes: Goge Vandire is bad. Alicia Dominica: We've been tricked, we've been backstabbed, and we've been quite possibly bamboozled.

"There's nothing after the Horus Heresy that is significant" The broken planet of Cadia: "Am I a joke to you"

"The nicest captain general" "LITTLE KITTEN! YOU SHOULD SQUAT MORE FREQUENTLY!"

"He left his bodyguards as hostages" 4 to 5 custodians are NOT hostages, they're a strike team right in your belly.

The Lamenters are fun because they're even nicer than the Salamanders, but they're the living embodiment of the fact that things can always get worse.

*Age of Apostacy movie:* /Beginning scene is Goge getting decapitated/ /Record scratch/ /Freeze frame/ /Baba O'Riley starts/ Goge: "Yup. That's me. You're probably wondering how I wound up here."

"I assure you Cannoness, it's imperative to cause of the Imperium that you and your sisters are bare-footed" Doge Vandire

So Guilliman says that he's the first being that has talked to Big E in 10k years, so I'd like to imagine the Custodes doing like a play or something where they hooked up the Emperor with strings and one of them used a voice changer to sound like him because they knew the Sisters would need the Emperor to talk to them.

"You are not allowed here" Everyone: *panic sweating* Goge Vandire: "is calm" Everyone: *P A N I K*

Goge Vandier: Shoot me Sisters: Okay... Goge Vandier: *Rolls a 1 on Invuln save* End Credits

Morale of the stories: Custodes solve everything

The Age of Aposty is basically what happens when you leave the kids alone to form their own government.

Nobody: Bricky literally every 5 seconds: This person right here? My favorite in all of Warhammer.

Something that's bugging me is how everyone say "Goge Vandire" is the most evil name possible, meanwhile "Drakan Vangorich" from the War of the Beast is never mentionned.

"Little babyman! Little baby! Babyman! Little BABY! BABYMAN!" or the Goge Vandire experience.

I love the idea that Big E is just sitting there, and as soon as the sisters come in, the Custodes go "Hello father, we have brought companions before you" and Big E just puts on a psychic powerpoint demonstration of exactly what Goge has done because he was so fucking sick and tired of the bullshit that Vandire was pulling.

I'd like to point out how fanfic level this lore is that these "badass warrior women" couldn't figure out his trick after being upgraded with "modern" weapons and armor.

Bricky: Nothing comes past the Horus Heresy War of the Beast: Now listen ere ya git

Something I'd like to add is that the Sisters were both pardoned for their actions and allowed to continue serving in the Imperium for two reasons: 1) the Captain General of the Custodes vouched for them as honorable warriors; 2) their loyalty was and still remains first and foremost to the Emperor himself rather than the institutions founded in His name. They also never revealed what happened in the Emperor's presence and made a deal to help the Inquisition, so their loyalty and faith is beyond reproach.

- Thou shall not call or refer to the Sisters as " Bolter Bitches ". Especially during their time that they named as the "red rage", or hence, risk becoming the first man to enter orbit without the aid of a shuttle. - Apparently, one of the most important survival guideline of the Space Marines (or anyone in the imperium for that matter).

Interesting fact: when Alicia Dominica met the Emperor, her hair turned white. The members of the order of Our Martyred Lady die their hair white to commemorate this.

Actually, the irony is that Culexus Assassins are so powerful they are literally invisible to Psykers.

The lamenters aren't sad. They're just immensely unlucky.

“Since the Emperor suffers to shield us, it is a blessing to suffer for Him in return.” - An extract from the Catechism of Leadership ‘The Emperor gave up His life as a ransom so that humanity might live, so great is His love for mankind. The faithful repay Him with daily thanks and prayer, and they serve Him with all their heart, soul, and strength.’ ‘When the people forget their duty, they are no longer human and become something less than beasts. They have no place in the bosom of humanity nor in the heart of the Emperor. Let them die and be forgotten.’ - Sister Cannones Grace “The Imperium’s deepest foundation is not glory, but sacrifice.” - Cannones Errant Setheno aka The Gorgon

We love the Lamenters because no matter how many extreme hardships they endure, they still retain their noble character and still keep jumping into the fire however undermanned they are to fight for and save as many innocents as they can with no care for their own fate nor that the very people they save have heard and believe their Chapter to be cursed or borderline traitorous. *For those they cherish, they die in glory.* They are not a meme, they are an *inspiration.*

What happened nobody know, yet we know from Gullimans visit with the Emperor, that he can still speak telepathically to those he chooses to speak to. So maybe the Emperor spoke to his "bride" telling her who exactly she had been following. When Gulliman speaks to the emperor we are told that to Gulliman it is more or less like conversing with a star, and Gulliman is a primarch. imagine what it would be like for an ordinary human to speak with the Emperor... pretty sure any kind of faith that the other guy might be right, is very much burned away by the real deal.

the best part about vandires invulnerability field is the way it works: basicaly if it gets hit by significant force it turns that kinetic energy into LIGHT so from an outsiders perspective it looked like this woman: *shoots bolt gun at vandire* vandire: *GETS ENGULFED IN DIVINE LIGHT WHICH PROTECTS HIM FROM HARM*

It would be the Age of Apostasy due to Goge Vandire turning his back on and rejecting the Path of the Emperor.

Sebastian Thor is more of a Francis of a Assisi character because he didn’t start his own church he just reformed the one he was in unlike Martin Luther.

Believe it or not, Lorgar was actually venerated for his "bible" (EDIT: it was actually called the "Lectitio Divinitatus"). He was quite the household name, and not many knew of his fall.

I'm kinda sad Bricky kinda doesn't like the yellow taxi cabs. They're more than just being depressing, they're about staying loyal INSPITE of what they've gone through. Through Hell and Chaos, through Fire and High-water, they remain ever loyal. Emperor protect those poor bois.

I know I'm a bit late to the party but... In reference to what DK was saying about wishing Goge suffered more before he died...I wonder where his soul ended up? I doubt the Emperor shielded him, so he probably just went straight into the Warp. And as the purveyor of such deception, murder, excess, and destruction, he was probably being watched pretty carefully by a few entities wandering around in there. I personally like to imagine that the Emperor just chucked Goge's soul straight at the Chaos Gods, and they tore him into pieces for the privilege of torturing the author of an imperium that would feed them for millennia to come, as their twisted version of gratitude...and because they find it funny. And now's there's withered shards of his tiny soul in each of their care, subject eternally to their attentions.

It's Martin Luther's 95 theses, that's what you were referring to. Edit - I messed up, and I stand corrected. It's the 95 theses. Orginal stated as the 98 Theses.

I vaguely remember a few things from the 1st/2nd edition era of the Sisters that was discussing the founding. If I recall right, it was heavily implied that Alicia was burdened with a "terrible truth" of the universe and was tasked by the Emperor to safeguard mankind from this threat. I think it was the Daemon book from the same period that hinted the terrible truth might of been knowledge of how the warp functions and how human belief can be used and weaponized within the warp, as it mentioned roughly on the same time period the appearance of beings of light in the warp, what we suspect later are the Saints. I think was also hinted at that Alicia was slain by an Assassin hired by the High Lords, scared of her perceived power and influence as the bolt was described as leaving an unusual wound that would not be healed and it had penetrated power armor. I believe it was also implied that the Assassins had sabotaged Goge's Rosarius in hopes that when someone went for him it would lead to his death.

I love the thumbnail with the Sister who's just like "F### if I know!"

My favorite part of the Decree Passive is Thor wrote it and then defended the loophole personally.

You are right that the Lamenters are simply sadness made flesh. But they can serve as an opening for talking about the 21st Founding. The Cursed Founding. And that opens the door for the Flame Falcons, Legion of the Damned, Black Dragons, the Minotaurs and Sons of Antaeus. Also the Blood Gorgons, a pirate Chaos band.

Bless. Have collected sisters since 2001. And Still have a MINT copy of the Sisters original Codex.

Ah the Lamentors a Cursed Founding chapter whose flaw is to have the luck of your average guardsman.

I'm totally new to 40k. Picked a Sororitas army, just because I always liked the design. Now I found this fantastic channel. Holy exterminatus, Batman! I'm so glad I chose the Sororitas after hearing that epic story.

NGL i want a "Jesus!" counter. Every episode there is at least 20 ish

You weren't kidding, that Triumph of St. Katherine is an awesome model. So happy for the Sisters that they're getting the differentiation, rules and models to shine.

Can’t wait to miss the total Warhammer 3 trailer became bricky goes on a tangent about are favourite nuns with guns

I just realized that goge vandire is the warhammer’s emperor palpatine

DK should go through the if the emperor had a text to speech device episodes one day once he's done enough of these podcasts. The captain general will always be Little Kitten to me

Another consequence of the age of apostasy was the creation of the Ordo Heriticus for the Inquisition who's original mission statement was as a check against the ecclesiarchy from using religion to create tyranny again. Most people think of Heriticus's domestic work on local populations but a lot of their work is monitoring cardinals and making sure they aren't amassing too much power. The operation on Vracks to kill their cardinal was an example of the Heriticus trying to do their primary job

The sisters of battle are just maids who solution to any filth is killing it with fire.

This is becoming the highlight of my week. I got excited when I checked yesterday and the last video said 6 days ago

Goge Vandire, it was said his last word was "Noo, i'm too busy to die"

Goge is one of three people I could see big E have hand delivered as a gift to the Archons of Commoragh.

"I can't die, I'm too busy!"

NEXT EPISODE ORKS!!! 'ERE WE GO

"Common Sense" was what Thomas Paine wrote prior to the American Revolution. Martin Luther's initial writings were the 95 Theses.

"Minute" The War of the Beast would beg to differ. STOMP STOMP

Honestly, Goge's reign should have been titled "The Age of Heresy" since heresy is when you introduce non-official teachings/beliefs into a religion, which is what Goge did. And the Horus Heresy should actually be the Horus Apostasy, since he abandoned his father's light and teachings to follow a new faith, which is what apostasy means. But I guess there's not the alliterative appeal with those names.

small correction with Frateris Templar forces near the end of the reign of blood, most of their forces and Goge Vandire's fleets were destroyed in and attempt to kill Sebastian Thor as the fleets were consumed by a massive warp storm that would be called the 'warp storm of the emperor's wrath' as it was believed later by the empire that big E farted out a warp stop to protect Sebastian Thor's growing movment. some could of surpved on earth but they would have being very few in number. the main force protecting Goge were the sisters

"Fuck that Goge guy and the chair he rode in on." -Big E

The Emperor is pleased today

Father: his name will be Manslaughter! Wife: you sure ? i mean won't he be evil Father: no.. i'm sure it's be fine :P

These brighten my week I gotta say. It's fun to lay back and learn things again, as well as find out some things I didn't know.

Reminds me of that one quote, “a single death is a tragedy, a million deaths are a statistic.”

the lore of when girlyman was put into a comma is kind of weird as its being implied that he both was one of the last ones left and one of the first to go. as its mentioned in i think dark imperium as he recalls going being stabbed by falgrim that he was worryed about what his brothers would do with out him, implying that some of them were still around. i know Jaghatai Khan (honour be his name) was one of if not the first to leave chasing dark elder into the web way only about 70 years after the heresy the only other one to 'disappear' before him was the lion i think corax was next disappeared into the warp to fuck up logar's shit again rogal its hard to say its send that he disappeared during one of the first if not the first black crusades i think russ might have being the last one to go vulkan appeared briefly during the war of the beast and he implyes that he was hanging around or had seen rogal recently

8:44 Bjorn from the Space Wolves outright said that to an inquisitor

The audio drama Our Martyred Lady reveals that the Custodes that spoke with Alicia was Captain "Kitten" Longinus.

Praise our awesome Nuns with Guns

The TTS reference earned you a new subscriber.

The "apostate" was Godge Vandire who turned his back on the Emperor's own appointed High Lords to attempt to run the Imperium himself.

Found this by random chance, and it took me a solid three minutes to realize that was Bricky! Haven't really been keeping up with him of late, due to the change in his content, which I totally respect but wasn't for me. Good to see you again, man!

Alright, off to Spotify to listen to this gem again!

I just realized that if the Emperor actually did have a Text To Speech device, and used the Custodians as his heralds and massagers, all this insanely could have (very easily) been avoided.

Says corpse emperor “RIGHT HERE INQUISITOR HERE IS THE HERETIC”

Goge Vandire is one of the best human villains (if something like this can be said regarding the morally grey 40k universe) of 40k. Usually when you hear about Imperial government officials doing more bad things than usually, you think of Chaos corruption or Xenos influence. But no, Vandire did all that he did simply because he was a wicked man.

"I do not have time to die. I am busy." I want that on a T-Shirt Even if it came from the bastard Goge Vandire.

Hot space nuns with guns and power armor sold me on this faction when I first heard of them lol.

I wanna see these two react to the text to speech series.

You guys have come so unbelievably far in a year and I'm proud of you.

Martin Luther: 95 Theses which he nailed to the door of the church. Thomas Paine: Common Sense, written during the time of the American Revolution and passed around as pamphlets.

The Sisters of Battle in the thumbnail look so damn adorable

Yo! Just found your channel and i'm having a blast! I've always liked warhammer but never been attracted to their gameplay, so having story tellers like you is just an amazing compromise!! I've only started but i can't wait for your next videos, thank you guys!!

you know, enthusiasm is contagious, and i now love the sisters of battle because of bricky's admiration for them.

Ngl imo, this is one of the best warhammer channels ever, I hope you guys reach up to 100 eps. You the best

Yo, any chance we can get an episode on the Carcharodons? Maori themed, part shark Space Marines who LOVE CHAINSAWS.

Quotes TTS Emperor coining the Goge Vandire Syndrome.

So loving these weekly episodes, cannot wait for my Scion boys!

43:44 at this pointed I really wanted them to try and fight the Emperors Janitors.

Recently I have been getting these 40k RU-vid recommendations and I say it's amazing. And the story about the sisters killing the heretic was amazing.

It's small and silly detail, but I find really fucking cool that everyone that enters the Throneroom leaves with such a shift of perspective. It also happened to "Rawbutt Girlyman".

Space Nuns FTW!

Holy crap, I wanna collect the bolter babes now

10,000 years is called the Decem millennium' or myria-annum (though these are not commonly used).

Can’t wait for you guys to cover the war of the beast.
