warhammer 40,000 is a miniatures tabletop battle game produced by games workshop, a giant in their market.

the 40K genre, as the game and world is commonly abbreviated as, is decidedly dark and gothic in a futuristic way, combining renaissance religious iconography with aliens, demons and powerful weaponry.

the Sisters of Battle, SoBs, are the first new and 4th Ed army that I have collected in, oh, a decade.

In the future there is only war.

The Sisters of Battle, nuns trained in the arts of war for the purpose of upholding purity in the Empire, and making those who transgress the Emperor's Laws pay for their heresy. As part of the Imperial Inquisition, the Sisters have a mandate that spans the entire Imperium.

This is the story of one Sister and her squad of Battle Sisters; Sister Superior Gloria who will gain fame and reputation fighting the insidious plague of Heresy and Abomination; written in a simple and fast style.

Litany I: Sister Superior Gloria's platoon of Battle Sisters has recovered an Imperial Guard position from an Ork Waaagh. Now she must prepare to defend her gains from the inevitable counter-attack. Can she hold until re-enforcements arrive?
