![]() In Mordheim they are blind members of the cult that have been given magical 'blessed sight' for their faith. They are also in the background material in charge of maintaining order so in Blood Bowl holding a line and leading the way by example seems very fitting. I wanted the team to be resolute and good at hitting so Block was a straightforward choice and Stand Firm just adds to the thematics of their religious zeal. Sisters Superiors as their name suggests are better version of Sisters, playing the role of Blockers in the team. While they obviously do not have the natural toughness of say an orc or dwarf, they can be heavily armoured and also have magical protection in a similar way to Bretonnians. This makes the team unique as we have no grinding teams that are female. The linewomen/sisters we decided on making them av9. I also wanted them to be the antithesis of Undead as this is so central to their background, so they need to be a hard counter to that race. So we were looking at a team with little to no passing ability, essentially - bash centric grinding team. So when creating a Blood Bowl team it is important to keep the feel of the race the same, and their style the same. They are heavily armoured and have heavy weapons. They are not good at dealing with ranged opposition, they have a bash centric in your face, toe to toe play style. In this game they especially powerful at dealing with Undead. The team was based on the Sisters of Sigmar from the game Mordheim, as this is where the majority of their background material exists. The Sisters of Sigmar's raison d'etre is to cleanse the game of its impurities, specifically to destroy all Undead races, and Chaos. Instead of being accused of being a witches and killed. So where my story changes things from the WFB world is the Sisters continue to grow throughout The World, like the knights hospitaller from which the Mordheim Sisters were based. In Blood Bowl the World is for all intents and purposes a parallel universe. I wanted to include the race though as they filled two roles that were not taken in the game - a team of very tough, resolute female warriors, and also paladins. In the Warhammer world, and more specifically Mordheim the Sisters of Sigmar started growing but before they got too big they were accused of being witches by the witch hunters and were all but destroyed everywhere apart from Mordheim. Their mix of brute force, heavy armour, divine protection and guidance makes them one of most brutal human sects to ever play the sport. The Sisters though lacking in speed and ball skills are quickly becoming one of the most feared teams in the Old World. At first they formed brute squads and fought outside stadium targetting the possessed.īefore long the Grand High Matriarch tasked her Matriarchs to start training the sisters in the arts of the sport so they could more easily purge the Undead and Chaos they oppose so fervently. When Blood Bowl started gaining popularity the Sisters attention turned to the sport. ![]() The Sisters were well trained, suited in the finest armour in the Empire and blessed by their god, more than a match for an Undead or Chaos horde. As their numbers grew the cult began to change their primary role from healers to paladins warriors of Sigmar that would walk the earth slaying any xenos they would come across. Women from all walks of life started joining the sisters, some to escape their former lives, some daughters were sent to the convents by their parents because of their troublesome ways, others joined voluntarily to rid the world of its evils. Spreading the word of their god Sigmar and denouncing the influence Chaos and Undead were having on their world. ![]() They travelled the world as healers, looking after humans in need wherever they went. The Sisters of Sigmar formed years ago from a convent in the Empire. ![]()
