I have been thinking for awhile about the characters that are part of my convent. I had the names made up for quite some time now and had a small blog even started on the following website:
http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/274998.page
I also had a lengthy battle report posted, but sadly no one even deemed to comment on it. Like most normal human being I enjoy a little attention now and then, but after doing a little introspection I realized that I needed to write this for myself, hence this blog, far from any spotlight.
For now, less about me, more about my convent. Here are the notable members and those who will eventually have their own story and background.
Canoness Amelia
Canoness Jacynth
Celestian Superior Clare
Sister Superior Helena
Sister Superior Kate
Sister Superior Cynthia
Sister Superior Elianne
The two senior members of the ecclesiarchy present on the planet are Brother Cornelius and Sister Constance
Invictus and Dies Irae are the name of two of my Exorcist battle tanks. The third one as yet to be named and should someone ever read this, if you are inspired, feel free to send out your ideas.
As for the planet itself on which the convent would be located, the first thing that came to mind was New Ophelia, but that was extremely uninspired and most likely to change in the near future.
More to come as I mull everything over...

Humble beginnings
After looking for several hours on the interweb for blogs, websites etc about sisters of battle I was left disappointed that the community for this brilliant army is actually so small and unfortunately very inactive online.
I have thus decided to add my own 2 cents to the Internet and created my small part of what I hope will be a large community eventually.
A little bit about me:
When I started playing Warhammer 40k a few years ago, I originally begun with a Chaos Space Marine army. I got into the fluff of it and after reading the Fulgim novel, I set out on expending my army into an Emperor's Children army. I eventually ended up owning over 8000 points of Chaos Space Marines.
For awhile I had been looking at the blister boxes of Sororitas and eventually cracked with the idea in mind of turning them to Slaanesh's service. Once home I put the box on a shelve and has days passed I ended up regretting my decision since the idea, while great sounding at first, was certainly not anything new.
Months went by and eventually I got bored of playing my chaos marines. While bored and cleaning up I inadvertently found that sister of battle box, dusted it off and decided to read on the fluff.
I immediately fell in love with the background and the creative opportunities that were being opened to me. After looking through the codex for color schemes, I settled on the colors for the Order of the Bloody Rose. After searching for more information regarding the Order, I found out that not much was written about it. The order was created to honor the martyrdom of Mina.
This left me with many creative opportunities and I decided to take them, creating my own branch of the order located on a yet to be named planet.
As of now I possess 115 witchhunter models, 5 immolators/rhino and 3 Exorcists. I prefer playing in the 2500 bracket, but I can field a 3000 points army with a few extra options.
Sadly, while I consider myself a decent painter, I am also a lazy one so I would deem only ~25% of my army as currently painted.
After much rambling I will cut this first post short. I originally created this blog to allow my imagination to flow as I came up with the lore concerning my branch.
