Did Someone Say Fire?! (Zealot WIP) (Patreon)

Hello!

The first Sisters of Battle WIP is here!  I touched on their history before but here's a bit more context.  They were formed when the Imperium was transitioning from an empire of 'science and rationality' to 'we have no idea what we're doing anymore.  Time to pray to the Emperor for a bailout!'  Different sects were popping up and killing each other to try and be the dominant brand of Emperor worship.  This all culminated in one madman called Goge Vandire taking over the Imperium by pretending to be the Emperor and starting an even bigger mess.  

When the dust settled, a more level headed man called Sebastian Thor took over and formed the Ecclesiarchy.  To alleviate fears of another civil war, he promised the Ecclesiarchy would have 'no men under arms'.  This turned out to be a giant loophole because he just organized a bunch of existing female convents to become the militant arm of the Ecclesiarchy and the newly formed Ordo Hereticus.  And thus the Sisters of Battle were born on a technicality.  

While the Living Saint always looks kind of Zen, the Sisters of Battle are righteously angry for the Emperor, who they fervently believe to be the one true god.  As zealous as the Black Templars, they will go to insane lengths to purge anything they consider heresy (which is basically everything).  While all Sisters of Battle are pious, some are bound to be pyromaniacs as evidenced by their love of setting everything on fire.  Can you guess which head that will be? 😉

I'm working on different weapon types that the Sister of Battle models can use.  It should be fairly modular, so she can be a normal sister model or hero model (Canoness).  I'm still working on the punk version, which I'll show when it's more refined.  Stay tuned!
