This is an exposé shot that the artist, Josiah Ward made for the release of the Sisters of Battle DLC for Warhammer 40k Battlesector.
This amazing art depicts an epic charge of the Sisters of Battle, also known as the Adepta Sororitas, from Warhammer 40,000. At the forefront are heavily armored Battle Sisters, wielding bolters and other weapons, rushing forward into battle with fervor and zeal. The distinct white helmets and black power armor, adorned with red accents and the Fleur-de-Lis symbol of their Order, mark them as a force devoted to the God-Emperor of Mankind. Their faith is unshakeable, and they embody righteous fury in their relentless crusades.
In the background, the imposing vehicle of the Sisters of Battle, the Exorcist tank, looms with its towering organ pipes and stained glass windows. This war machine not only strikes fear into enemies but serves as a symbol of the Ecclesiarchy’s might, capable of raining down devastating missile fire. Alongside it, a Penitent Engine can be seen — a massive, brutal construct piloted by a repentant sinner seeking redemption through death in battle. This mechanical war machine is surrounded by flames, adding to the sense of holy retribution.
Atop the structure behind the charge stands a statue of a winged saint, most likely a representation of Saint Celestine or another sacred figure, symbolizing the divine intervention the Sisters so often call upon in their battles. The Gothic cathedral-like architecture surrounding the battlefield adds to the dark and oppressive atmosphere, emphasizing the grim nature of the 41st millennium.
The image masterfully captures the fervent devotion, martial prowess, and unrelenting will of the Sisters of Battle, who fight not just with weapons, but with unyieldin
