Nice idea in representing one of the other 40k Sisterhoods rather than a battle sister. Cool costume.

Yay looks rather formal for a sister of battle.. I really like that costume :D
Did you do this all on yourself or did you buy e.g. the corsage?

It's not a sister of battle. Adepta Sororitas are basically combat nurses that attend to patients in field hospitals for war and are basically the Red cross of the 40th millenium.

Not every order has hospitality service... so not all of them are healers, just a tiny part. I think it's not even really mentioned in the tabletop fluff, but in the Dark Heresy-books you may find a detailled description.
Btw, Warhammer 40k takes place in the 41st millenium.

This is the whole description of a sister of battle:

Lol I was only 1 millennium off! The sororitas are in most of the Ultramarines novels by Graham McNiel aswell.

I admit I didn't read the novels as Space Marines interest me nothing at all. I just wanted to show you that it's not only healing and caring stuff, that the sororitas do.

Being one millenium off is like saying you live in the 20th century :P That's why I mentioned it.

Sorry for sounding so pissed, actually I am not, but I just don't want my beloved bolter bitches to be reduced to some nurses.

Lol I knew you weren't being pissy. And yeah I knew that the Adepta Sororitas were more then just female space marines though I can't remember the exact name of the others, Adepta Hostpitaller I think is the nursing section of the sisters name.

Okay :)
First of all, Sororitas are like Space Marines without the implants as the genes did not work with the XX-chromosome. That's the reason why there are only male Space Marines.

Well I took my Dark Heresy book now and based on that, there are Battle Sisters (normal), Seraphim, Celestia, Sister Repentia like in the tabletop game. But specified are the Sister Dialogus (kind of preachers, deciphering talent and translation skills), Sister Famulous (ambassador of a sort, being with the nobles) and a Sister Hospitaller.
"The Sisters Hospitaller are reputed to be the "gentle" arm of the Adepta Sororitas, though in many ways this is far from truth. As healers, doctors, and spiritual counsellors, they are peerless among the Orders. They are, however, still willing and able defenders of the Imperial Creed ready to crush life from a heretic, mutant or alien threat. A Hospitaller's convictions, like those of her fellow sisters, are rooted in the desire to defeat the enemies of the Emperor without hestitation. Likewise, those undeserving will either not receive any care or will be sped along to meet the Emperor face-to-face for final judgement. It is for this reason that Sisters Hospitaller cannot be utilised in the interrogation cells at the Tricorn as confirmed heretics tend to die in their care prior to divulging information."
