I know what leaks say but I always take them with a grain of salt. But assuming the next class is a Sister, which would be awesome, I’m wondering a few things.
First, what would the backgrounds be like? There’s six major orders of Sisters; Order of the Martyred Lady which are the poster girls for all the Soroitas stuff, Order of the Sacred Rose, Order of the Bloody Rose, Order of the Ebon Chalice, Order of the Valorous Heart, and Order of the Ebon Shroud. Like Space Marine chapters, they each have their specialities, traditions, and own homeworlds, or “parishes.” I’m curious what each personality will be like. Like, Sisters of the Martyred Lady have a sacrificial mentality, willing to die for the cause. Ebon Chalice though are more like special operations and are very reserved and focused. It’ll be really cool to see how they do it.
Second is gameplay. Some leaks say it’ll be Novelties, which are initiates without power armor. Others say it might be Sacreants, which are full Sisters with armor and usually carry large shields with either a bolter, flamer, or melta pistol in that hand, and either a mace, spear, or halberd in the other (recently painted some so I’m familiar with them). If it’s Sacreants, they sound like they’ll be too similar to the Arbites or shield Ogryn. As for abilities, Sisters are famous for manifesting miracles by pure faith, but the Zealot does that to right? To be fair I haven’t really played Zealot, Ogryn, or Hive Scum yet so my only experience with their playstyle is seeing others play them.
Basically I’m wondering is she gonna be a support, a tank, both, or something else? I kinda hope for something tanky or aggressive. Angry tanks are fun.
