Welcome everyone to another episode of the Adeptus Ridiculous podcast. My name is D.K. My co-host is Bricky. He knows all the Warhammer stuff, and he's going to teach us all the Warhammer 40K stuff. I guess I should have. Anyway. So, if you enjoyed today's podcast, head over to patreon.com slash Adeptus Ridiculous. We have a lot of great things for you there. Stuff like HD posters, access to the Discord, bloopers if they happen. The HD poster is the Bone Zone, which.

is a very nice-looking necron female. They do exist. It's canon. It's canon. Necronfemales are canon. So, patreon.com slash adeptis ridiculous. Bricky, book club, merch, any other? Book club. Read yourself, brutal cunning. That'll probably be out at the end of this week,

give or take. Maybe early next week, regardless. I've started it myself. I wanted to read it all at the end. It's pretty good. Pretty good so far. Love the accent. Always good about the Mets baby. But you know, it's also, you know, also it's about the merch, baby. It's about the merch.orgate.com.

Check the description. We got hoodies. We got a different ridiculous t-shirts in black and white. What's that? A legally distinct Mechanicus shirt with legally distinct binary. That might mean something. Put it in a binary code. Find out yourself.

And an ork. I'm a tank. I'm a tank. I'm a tank shirt. And a hoodie. Oh my God. Say it ain't so D.K. Say it ain't so.

It ain't so. Where's the beef? That's an old meme that even I guess. That is an old. You're such a boomer making that reference. Whoa. What are you like 80 years old? I'm going to drink my prune juice.

It'll make me re-roll ones. Oh. All right. Okay. Okay. So we're boomers. That's a joke. The dice check boys always make.

It's like, damn, girls, that ass, rerow ones. Okay Okay It's good Don't worry about it It works out It sounded funny It gave me a chuckle

Even though I don't quite know about Rerling Ones And it's fine In 40K very often You'll get rules To let you re-roll your ones Okay Like let's say you got a captain

Like a captain of a space Marine Legion And if he's next to like a squad The squad gets to rerow ones when they shoot because they have a leader there. Oh, that's very handy. Yes, there's a lot of things like that. And so, damn, D.K., does that ass re-roll once? Okay.

Thank you for explaining the joke. Made it less funny the second time, but yeah, it's fine. Yeah, but then it's just like when we started doing Among Us references. It was never funny, but if you force it hard enough, it becomes funny. Normally it doesn't. But you go into popularity, humor, too much humor on Facebook, it's annoying, and then humor again for irony's sake. We're in irony's sake.

We've gone too far. The word suss has been ruined forever. Soose. You know, they say, oh, yeah, we're going to, we're going to suss them out, you know, suss that person out. And it used to be very, you know, not use that often. Now everybody's just fucking, you go to Wendy's and like, oh, that person's, suss behind the counter. It's like, it's making a fucking hamburger.

Who cares? Who the fuck is going to Wendy's and going to the counter and being like the, the chef is suss? Who the fuck does that? I bet you people in California. People in, I bet you people in California and Florida do it. All right, D.K., I'm going to give you a quote. And I want you to see if you can decipher what our topic will be about via this quote. Okay. All right.

As a child on Gehenna, I remember the stories of the white maidens, terrifying ghosts that would come in the night to steal away the witch-born and children who had done terrible wrongs. It was said that they could find the wicked, no matter how deep in the hive they sank, or to what forgotten spire they climbed. As I grew, I came to believe such things were no mere superstition. But now that I am an officer of the Great Crusade, bloodied upon the battlefields of a score of worlds, I have come to find that my childhood fears were true and quite valid.

The memoirs of the Lieutenant Colonel Gundren Sue 227th Gehenna Rifles. Oh, and I'm supposed to figure out what we're talking about off of that, huh? There's a couple little tidbit clues in there. Now, if you're not savvy to 40K, would you be able to just, justifiably pick out what this was supposed to be. Absolutely not. Oh, well, fuck me, dude. Like, I-

B-K, don't pretend like you're not savvy. You know probably more than some of our audience at this point. Well, you have done quite a good job with the podcast and teaching me. Maybe it's, I mean, I heard stuff about hives and ghosts. Like, a part of me almost who wants to say it's some sort of, like, specific tyranid? Stories of white maidens To steal away the witchborn and children Is it a sisters thing?

Yes Close Is it a specific chapter of sisters Alright I'm gonna give up at this point Well for one for one DK The chapters are space marines sisters have Orner's. Oh.

No, we're doing the Sisters of Silence. Oh, okay. They're the ones that make everybody uneasy, right? Or they make people with psychers or uneasy around them? Blake jeans. Pariahs, etc. The Sisters of Silence. The unfortunate, like, red-headed stepchild of GW's work

because they're really cool. cool and interesting and they get no love anywhere and ever. Oh. And it makes me sad. There's a lot of stuff like that that just is very cool, everyone loves it, and it gets just no love like the L-Tar.

Well, they don't get any, they don't get any mini love. The Sisters of Silence, like, so we talked about the Sisters of Silence a bit ago in our Custodians episode because they work with the custodians very, very often. So, of course, they're actually in the codex at the current moment. You can run sisters with them.

And I believe that they are actually getting, I mean, they're going to be like folded in with the new custodian codex, which is actually the next codex coming out. Oh, shit, nice. Custodians and Gene Steeler Colts is next. And then in January is Tao. Ooh, let's go Tao.

The eight. Come on. Make the Foresight Enclave great. I almost said again I was like oh no I shouldn't go down that make make Tao great again I actually don't though because when Tao are good

it's a very bad time but just the far side on clave I just want the eight to be good and I want everybody to roll the anime weeb trope I'm okay with that I want everyone to run the seven samurai Tao or the eight samurai Tao as it were

I guess the seven samurai isn't really a weeb trope it's just like a you know what this is this is this is tal we can talk about sisters Sister of Silence So, yes, this is a faction It's like a semi-faction That really doesn't get any love from GW

In terms of minis, their minis are fine But they're a bit old They don't have any special characters Except for a duo character With another custodian based on a book They're really And they're honestly not that great Right now in terms of characters

But I like to run them Because I think they're fluffy And interesting and a lot of fun. They're fluffy. I just imagine, like, just this really, like, this sister that's in, like, a big, oh, no, I was about to say fur suit, but, like, eh.

A big coat. Yeah, big coat, big fluffy coat, because the picture that Shai has has, like, that one puldron with all, like, the fur on, and I was like, aw, she just wants a hug. She's so fluffy. Actually, you'd be surprised that she probably does want a hug. I think the sister's silence are a little depressed.

But anyway, So let's talk about them. So the sisters of silence are working under the, what hell is this? How's this is pronounced? The astrotelopathica. They're a branch of in particular. And the thing about them is that they're,

I say they're really secretive. They're like some of the most secretive. But I think I say that about like everything. The Grey Knights are super secretive. The Dark Angels act secretive. But this one, there's quite a way to kind of keep, from quiet, because the sisters of silence are not really

a known force, so to speak, like, I don't think the public knows they exist. Well, the public doesn't know a lot exist, to be fair, right? They're not really kept in the loop. They don't know tyrants exist, right? And they never see space marines ever, so. But they know that the

space marines exist. It's the emperor's holy warriors. I think they know that custodians exist. Because they're like, it's the main guard of the, of the emperor. But it's just, they'll almost never see one. Right. Because they're so, they're only on terror and all that. But we don't know how many sisters of silence there are.

Like, we don't have a number or anything. Like, they are very, very quiet. And honestly, at the same time, they might actually just see the sister of silence and probably mistake them for a sister of battle. Because, like, uh, that's true. Lady with Bolter Yeah Although, so is this

So a sister of silence makes Is it just psychers that are uneasy around a blank? Yeah, it's everybody But psychers get it worse They get like 10 times So if a normal person was in say The presence of a sister of silence They would probably know

Because they'd feel really uneasy And like weird and won't be But they don't know what a blank is They don't know what like a pariah is you know, a soulless being. They don't really understand that. It's not public knowledge. Right, right, right.

But for these girls, like, we don't know how many there are. We don't know where they're operating. They're very secretive with their base on terror and also on the moon. And the whole concept of them, the silence is as a multifaceted concept, both because the silence is the thought process. of the lack of a soul, because they're all blanks, untouchables, pariahs, whatever the word you want to use. They are a body without a soul in the warp. And so the whole concept of like the fundamental wrongness of their body, like being near them,

it's like looking at a painting that is just, it's like uncanny valley. It's just not, it's like looking at Hitler's paintings, you know? it's just because he was really bad at drawing faces and painting like people and it's just like that's just it's not right something about it is weird I don't like being near it

it feels off it's like having tripophobia and seeing like the holes and stuff yeah and you're just like I don't know why that's bugging me but I can't look at it yeah it's like it's like if you have that and you look at like a honeycomb

or like a beehive with all the holes and all the little larvae wiggling around and it's oh that's unsettling even if you don't have it actually yeah it's really it's really nasty but it creates that feeling um now up now the amount of like lack of soul can actually increase and decrease there are some sisters that have a stronger like anathema feeling to them particularly one of the head is a girl named genicia croll genitia crore is the the was known as the souless queen or the witch bane

what a cool name the soulless queen is fucking dope that's so metal she was the knight what's called the night commander or the vigil commander she was the big main

sister of silence and apparently her anathema was like laughably powerful like she would stroll through a room and then like space marines would have to look away. Like obviously they wouldn't make much of a tell, but they would just kind of like, look, like, turn their head.

Yeah, just kind of tilt a little bit. Yeah. Because she posted a, uh, she posted a picture of her and she definitely looks like she would step on me. She'd step on it. If you were a witch, she'd step on you with a sword. She's like, if you were a space marines, she'd probably step on you. And you'd be like, thank you.

Come again. Go and come again. Thank you. Come again. It's like a poo and fucking Simpsons. Right? Yeah, you know, come back anytime. I'll be here. So how do you get more soulless exactly? I don't know.

You said like there were varying degrees. It's like if you do enough evil, do you lose more soul points? And if you're like more friendly, do your soul points go up and you, how do that work? It's a mutation for one. You have this if you, it's a mutation. And I guess it's just the strength of the mutation. Oh, okay. Because it's...

It's not actually soullessness. It's just the mutation that makes you weird. Yeah, it's like, like, you don't necessarily, I guess, I don't know if you necessarily literally don't have a soul, but because, you know, the warp is a layer upon the real world, right? They're two... Yeah. Like, they're layered on top of each other in terms of, like, a dimensional thing.

It's like when you walk around You're parting the waves of the warp around you It's like it's like a black hole where light literally can't travel in So it creates like an accretion disc circling around it Oh Think of it like that where it's like you just don't get touched You're like a magnet and everything around you is the same pole And it's just kind of forcing it away

Okay gotcha got you So if you're stronger, the more you force this away and the more unsettling it feels. Okay, gotcha. It's very difficult to truly get down on that kind of thing and truly understand it. But as for the sisters of silence, they obviously use this or taken back to terror, trained everything. And their whole point is to be warrior investigators and like hunters. they go out and they seek out and apprehend psychers from the human population and return them

back to the divisio astrotelopathica for some kind of assessment and disposition. If I'm not mistaken on this one, they're actually some of the main crew in man the black ships. Oh, I do recall that, yeah. Something about black ships and it's full of sisters that are bringing psychers back somewhere and did we talk about that in the Scola Progenium episode

where like sisters have to bring something to the Scola in the black ships? Maybe because the black ships, they go around and they hunt psychers. That's the concept of the witch or the maidens, soulless maidens in the night taking your kids because you have a psychically, whatever kid, and they just show up

and they just take them in the night and they go, away. You're not going to stop them. Good look. Yeah, good fucking luck trying to stop them. They're incredibly well trained and not only that but then you've got your damn like anti-sacic field. How often do they, I guess I want to say fail? Because if a psychers round a blank, they want to like gouge their eyes out and kill themselves. So how often does like a sister of science go up to a psych and be like, you're coming with me and the psychers just like, like, just stabs themselves or something.

I think often they don't, they don't do that because they normally get them young. Oh, okay, so they're still like kids and, okay. To an extent, but they're also completely immune to psychic assault. That's the cool thing about them is that, like, they are nigh unaffected by any psychic power. Even in the tabletop game, you cannot hit them with psychic powers. They are affected by zero. is literally impossible. Oh, right, but I meant, like, how often does, like, their prisoner just, like, flip out that they're around a blank and just freak out and jump out a window or something?

Oh, well, they stop that. They have, like, special areas of the ship that makes it, like, prove or makes it, like, not as powerful or painful. And it depends on what they want them for. You know, like, sometimes they seek out witches, and their job is to kill them. Like, there's a psycher on this planet. he's getting a little too strong we're gonna murder him and this you know this psycher is like

I'm mad with power I'm the wizard of whatever and he starts like shooting lightning bolts and they just don't get hit by it like they just it fizzles out before they get touched because these girls are so the antithesis against the warp like all their powers

mean nothing so then they're being forced to deal with them in like hand-to-hand combat or guns and they're gonna lose that fight 10 times out of 10 Yeah. What a bunch of badasses. God, all the pictures of them look so cool, too. Yeah, some of the pictures are pretty old because the new artwork isn't,

well, they just haven't had much new artwork because, like I said, DWs don't really do much with them. But often they work very heavily with custodians because custodians are neither blanks nor psychers. Oh, yeah, yeah. And because of that, they kind of have like an overall weakness against things like, demons, for example, or psychers and sorcerers. So actually, when Magnus did his oopsie and Kool-Aid man's fucking the emperor's psychic barrier and led a whole bunch of demons into the fucking throne room, a whole lot of

of sister's silence, including Janicea, Crow, were used to fend off that engagement and that incursion. I was going to say sisters must be pretty good to fight against, like, uh, K. and warp shit, right, since their blanks, I guess. They've become very powerful. All the fancy random demon bullshit doesn't really work. I mean, a big demon will still squish you, but... Oh, yeah, yeah.

Smaller demons are like, oh, get it away, get it away. Yeah. What happens when a sister of silence dies? Like, they don't... Their soul doesn't go to the warp because that's not really their thing. because of their mutation, right? I don't know if they do or don't have souls. Like, they're considered soulless

because of their weird aura around the warp, but I actually don't know if they legitimately do not have a soul. And where would they go? Like, what chaos guide would they feed if one died in there? You're asking the wrong questions. I have no idea. I don't think anyone. knows. This is a, like, not only is the idea of a blank secretive, but it's not been expanded upon

very much at all. Okay. If you had to make an educated guess as our fearless leader in a 40K ridiculous lore, what would happen when a blank died? I would think very little. I would think that, that if a psycher dying was a bucket and a person dying was a cup, they're a drop. Ah, okay. That's my educated guess. Not a whole lot of disturbances, just, they just fizzle out and that's that. That's my educated guess.

Okay, good, good. Glad to hear it. I did my best. It's now canon, and people are going to actually you in the comments. Good job. Oh, my God. So the second part of the Sisters of Silence

is the fact that the silence part is referring to the blankness of them, right? the soulless idea. They also don't speak. Oh, they're literally silent. They are mute. They take a vow of silence. They actually can speak.

That's the thing is that they don't like cut out their tongue or remove their vocal box or like that. They take a vow of tranquility. The concept is that at the end of their, what is it, their training, they have this idea of like a vow of silence. Because then not even in pain. If they're in pain, if they're like being stabbed, they won't make any noise.

Oh. That's the concept is that under duress of pain, they will be stoic and not speak. Under impact of blade or bolts, they will show the resolve and not speak. No secret will ever be spoken. No, no torture can end up like revealing secrets or anything like they are unbreakable in that sense. So it's their vow of silence. So you gotta be hardcore to be a sister of silence. Like not only, not any like Joe Schmo can be a sister.

Like that's, that's hard. It's, it's pretty crazy. That's actually part of the reason why they shave their hair is for the vow of tranquility, the same thing. Minus, of course, the top knot on the top. What is shaving your head have to do with that, though? Uh, uh, um, the fuck.

I don't know. Oh, okay. Because. I was gonna say you can, you can be silent with hair. It might be like the monk thing. Yeah,

like shave head for stoicism and tranquility. But then why do you keep the top knot? I don't fucking know, D.K. Okay, I'm sorry. Described it for me. I'm very inquisitive to that.

I'm sorry. Inquisitor, get this man. Yeah, right there, Inquisitor, that man. He won't tell me why they have a top nut and shave the rest of their head.

Well, they also have like the fucking tattoo on their head too, which is, that's like a symbol of service to the emperor and that kind of shit. Okay. That adds to the golden throne. That one makes more sense. But they often communicate, they have their own variation of sign language. And so they can sometimes even like do the sign language such a speed that's outputted by like a Vox signal in order to communicate. What?

Yeah, they have to communicate with each other via, like, radio. Wait, so you're telling me they do hand signs over Vox? They do hand signs, and the Vox registers it, picks it up, and sends it as, like, a signal. Okay, okay. I thought you were like, oh, yeah, they're voxing so fast that it's going through the Voxcaster, and they're picking up the sound about it.

I was like, wait, what the fuck? Okay, that makes, okay, gotcha. They have a very fancy, extremely high, high-end sign language entirely just for them. This was actually something to be really cool if some people could find a way to create like a variation of said sign language because the sign language is its own thing for the sisters and only they understand it and all that kind of stuff. Right.

It allows them to be very obviously to work together in a combat scenario, but it also, you know, let's communicate. Yeah. Those half masks that they wear look really cool where it's just like from, say, the nose down is like that gold mask. They're like grill? Yeah, those look real. That's really cool.

I love their armor. It's actually super dope. I think the sisters have some of the better armor. And they work great as a side section to the custodians. Because the custodians are like, you know, like nine feet tall in this enormous gold. And these girls are probably like six feet or so. They're pretty like normal. I mean, they're tall, but you know, they're normal.

Yeah. But it's kind of interesting because they're like a well-oiled machine, the two of them. They're very, very one with the other because they're needed for different scenarios. Yeah. Also, look at that sword that she's wielding in that top picture. That thing is legitimately bigger or it's taller than a sister. That's so anime, dude. The swords are very big.

Yeah. Cloud. Cloud. So I post the thing about the armor. It's like, Vryatin, Vratin, armor is especially the power armor worn by the silence. When a sister Aspirin takes her final oaths of duty and says the last word she will ever utter aloud in her lifetime, she's given her a panoply of war, the armor, literally the armor of the oath. It is a sub-pattern of technologically advanced battle gear, which shares design elements with both the power armor of the Legion

Tony's Astardis, and the silicate mesh of Selenite void mail. Though unlike either of those famed armors, it is not, at least without additional gearing, fully environmentally sealed or designed for extended operations. And the actual, the sword is the executioner grape blade, which is the primary melee weapon, and it's used as the idea for guardians of the tithe of Cykerborn, which is feed them to the emperor, witch seekers massive executors that often do the usual

style of like the beheading and then setting them a flame because these are witch seekers yeah oh what hold up so you're telling me when the sisters get their power armor do they get one last word before they put the armor on

they utter their final oath basically I don't know what it is I was gonna say wouldn't it be hilarious is if like one of the sisters, they're like, oh yeah, you get one last word, what is it? And she's like, yeet.

Poggers. This is all very poggers sisters. Shut her up. Just put the damn helmet on her. All right. Enough. Bent over. You're getting the executioner grape later. Yeah. I just find it hilarious that some of them would be like meme lords and just say something really dumb is their final word

and have it recorded. I can see that. Actually, if you thought that the Janitia Kroll had a really cool thing, her idea of like the Knight Commander, there's also a title for the sisters called The Mistress of the Black Ships, which is fucking dope to me. Again, very metal, very metal. Oh, Shai sent a quote thinking I didn't already have that ready on my Google Doc.

I got this. Oh, wow. We are mute but not without power. We are silent but not without resolve. We are untouchable, but not without courage. We are sisters and have but one father. We are seekers and we shall find our prey. We are warriors and woe to those we oppose.

The emperor's mark is on our brow. All who deal with the warp must be where, his judgment and vengeance is ours to deliver. The motto of the Sisters of Silence. God. The Sisters of Silence are so fucking metal, dude. Oh my God. And they have literally one kit.

They have one. One kit. It comes with five models. And the only difference is the weapon they carry. Bolter, Flamer, or a sword. That is it. They never even made like a conversion kit that lets you make a normal sister

into like a sister of silence if you wanted. Nope. They have a sister of silence kit. Like it's just the one kit. But yeah. And the minis are okay. You can give them a rhino. For older minis, those don't look too bad.

Those don't look as bad as older, like... The old guard stuff. Yeah. Those are really bad. Those, the ones that look like their face was melted. Yeah. Yeah, the only other one is that duo one that I mentioned earlier. That's actually from a book.

Oh, that's really cool, actually. That one looks good. That one's like a year old. Except for the fact that the... The custodian's got a big ass head. Yeah, his head looks very weird. It's very strange. Yeah.

Yeah, shot. Put the helmet on. You've literally seen every single sister of silence mini. That's all of them. That's it. Oh, really? God, they sound so cool. Why?

Make more of them. I do not know. I do not know why they don't make more. If there was a time, it would be during the custodian codex, because they literally, they literally have a sister of silence on the cover, front and center. on the new codex.

It's actually really dope. I need to find the goddamn, um... Actually, you get five... You get five sisters of silence, actually, in the, um... In the next... What's it called? Uh, in the new box that they're making.

Oh, you actually get... But they're the old sisters? You... Uh, well, yeah, they're not anything new in terms of, uh... Oh, that's something. I would agree Yeah

God their armor looks so cool They're very dope I'm sure I will repeat this many A time as I already have They're so fucking metal dude They're super metal They are really Really cool looking

And let me find the There we go Yeah like this is the new cover art for the custodians And like she's right down there Bottom left bottom bang Sister of Silence Yeah yeah there's she

is, yeah. I also love that their armor makes sense. Right? They're like sister of silence. They've got like the sort of mouth area completely covered. It's so cool. I love it. It has good visual aesthetic with it. I mean like yeah they got like

big ass boob armor and stuff but I mean shit, it's fucking blood angels have giant pecks and abs like it doesn't matter. It's very, it goes with the aesthetic, the concept. Well the armor also makes Because at least it's not like, if you ever play like a JRP or something, the big thing is like,

the poor female warriors always get the most pointless armor. They get like metal bikinis and it's like, what the fuck is that going to protect? Right? Like your entire like abdomen and stomach and your legs are completely exposed, but you've got like this bikini of metal. It's like, what the fuck is that going to do? Right? So at least they have like full coverage. They have armor

Yeah, it's actual armor that will protect you Yeah, besides like their head Like their noggin Which I guess means it doesn't protect that great But at least it's it's plate It's fucking plate armor It's not a cloth, you know? Yeah, yeah

It's not a metal bikinius They're really neat And actually it's a little bit sad Because apparently The Scissors of Silence have this like when I say this, it's gonna sound like a lesbian pillow fight situation.

Okay, I'm ready. And I'm sorry about that. Okay. Because of their nature of their gene, so these sisters are incredibly secretive. They have the pariah untouchable gene, and they spend mainly all their time together, and the only people who they can understand are each other,

because they can't speak. They only do the sign language, which they can only do with other sisters. Only they can understand, yeah. And maybe custodians, I'm sure. I'm sure they don't understand it for tactical purposes. And, but, like, they are literally an entire group that humanity hates. You know, like, they don't know they exist, but, like, being around them is uneasy and unsaidly. It's vile.

Yeah, yeah. Nobody will ever want to be in the same room as them, unless they have to be. Yeah. Or nobody willingly will be in the same room. I'm sure they get a few unwilling people as they drag them into the black ships and whatnot. But yeah. Like they sacrifice their words and their entire lives for like a race of people that would gladly be as far away from them as they can. And so because of that, they actually apparently have an extremely strong bond between the sister.

Oh, they'd have to. Oh, yeah. they would have to because they're the only ones that understand each other and actually don't get sick being next to each other. So that makes perfect sense, yeah. So being around each other is very, very important for them. It's very much a like, they have a very strong bond between them. They're very good friends.

You know, they obviously have their oaths and importance, but the strength of sisterhood is about as strong as, space marine to space marine brother to brother kind of thing yeah so you know then you then you you take that and then you know they they fuck whatever i don't give a shit you know make your fan i don't give whatever sure sure if i was going to say well so their their blankness is is a mutation right correct if a sister of silence was ever to like procreate and have a kid would that mutation pass on to the kid? Or is that not something that can genetically pass down?

I think you're getting a little too deep and GW probably doesn't even know that themselves. Okay. Just checking. Like, there's not, I've got like maybe five minutes or less for this episode because there's not a lot. Like, I mean, you might not like them that much because they fought alongside the space wolves

and the burning of Prospero. Because... Oh, no. But they're so... Why did you have to tell me that? Because if they're gonna fight the psycher army, they're gonna send the anti-cykers. Oh, that's...

You know, that's... I hadn't really thought about that, but that's true. Who else would you send to go fight big, bad psychers than a bunch of fucking blanks? That's fair. You know, unironically, since there's silence would make a very good lesbian love story.

I could see that being... Yeah. I guess that being well written, if done tastefully. Oh, absolutely. I would not mind a book that centered around a bunch of Sisters of Silence that were romantically linked in a tasteful way, as they sort of did all this crazy fuckery that I'm sure that they have to do. And then they start hitting to the pillow fights, then it's like they start giggling. And then you know, and then you draw them with dicks, you know, the whole night. Now, now, now draw her getting an education, DK.

Draw her getting an education. Buddy, buddy, this is an anime, dude. This isn't, this is, this is, this is, this is an anime. That would happen. You could, I could see that happening in some freaky anime, but, not in 40K, but not in a 40K, but come on. Now draw her telling me it's going to be okay. Shai actually has some, see, that's the kind of armor that makes no fucking sense to anybody, right? For that information, for your information, that is a gender-bent custodian.

Notice the guardian spear weapon, actually. How dare you? I don't know why I didn't just, I don't know why I didn't just draw a lewd sister of silence. It's literally the same thing. What are they doing? I love that you actually, the picture that Shai sent. Hell yeah. Yeah, well done.

Okay, now, Drew are being successful and happy and real life. all her goals and dreams. All right. Draw her leading a good life. Yeah. Yeah, I would not mind a Sister of Silence books that would like, I mean, even if it wasn't like a romance thing, like one that just further expanded on Sisters of Silence and Blanks, because it sounds like there's not a ton of information on them.

So just getting a book that told us more about them. and like their strife and like literally from their perspective and their like inner turmoil because they can't speak they took a valve so that'd be really cool I'd be down for any book on them yeah there was the book the one I mentioned earlier the Valerian and Alea one the dual group um but like yeah they they certainly need more on them they're an interesting organization they have kind of a tragic, I like, backstory, I guess. They have a tragic use to

willingly put their life away for a race of people who can't stand them. You know, it's, you could, you could, you could, you could, you know, we're making, we're making lesbian jokes here. That's not, that's obviously just mainly jokes. Granted, they could do a very good story about that, but. They could. It could be a tasteful story that would, it reminds me of like, it reminds me a lot of like people who grew up like, like two girls growing up. in a nunnery kind of thing and then it ends up becoming that

because, you know, that's the thing with, that's the thing with kids, you know, you, you, you, you,

you, you, you, you, don't let them be free. And then next thing you know, the next thing you know, they've got,

they got four fetishes. Look what you done. Like what you did. Well, the thing is, you, you can seal them in a box for so long that eventually they're going to get out of the box and then, you know,

they're going to wonder what the fuck's outside the box. Wait, Mike Brooks. I said the Sisters of Silence are so anti-warped they can be used to calm a warp storm? Yeah, if you bring enough of them. Holy shit.

That's kind of a big deal, isn't it? I want, I want, all right, all right, internet, internet, I need a, I need a meme from you. I want warp storm, our local warp storm maker, Erebus. I want like five or, I want like five or six sisters of silence. Just like, Aribis is like on the ground in the fetal position. There's like fucking kicking him.

It's like, Like You fucking ass Like calming the wharf Something like Oh you know what What's that one Jojo meme

When the guy drinks wine And then he runs him And starts kicking Oh yes Yes Yeah I don't know what it's called But yeah

Beating it Or the other Meme where It's like a guy He's like a square And then these two really Buff guys start laughing And they start like

Beating him up While laughing Definitely Any Any meme that involves Arabis Getting the shit kicked Out of him

Sign me up Sign my ass up. Ah, Shai's got a good one. There we go. That's a good fucking man right there. Yes. And that's perfect. The top one, Sisters of Silence, bottom one with his lunch all over the floor and crying like a bitch, Arabis. Hell yeah. Remove the lunch, make it like a whole bunch of like the emperor is a real god books and stuff. The religion of the god emperor.

It's just a whole bunch of like crosses and stuff. A bunch of heretical shit. Yeah, yeah, sure. Anyway, Cedgesa Silence. It's not a long episode because there's not a lot about them. But I run them when I play custodians. I want them to have more lore. I would love a character. I would love maybe like, I know they have some, I think you could actually get the Black Ship vehicles

and some things like that in 30K, but you can't use them now, which is unfortunate. But they're pretty neat. I think there's a lot of good potential to write about them and stories. and all that, but... Oh, well, it is what it is. Anywho,

is there anything you want to add, D.K., before we go? Nope. Sisters are metal as fuck. I like them. They look really cool. Their armor's really dope. And, yeah, I want to know... I want to know what happens when one dies. I want to know where it goes.

I want to know where its soul goes. What chaos... Chat, tell me where you think what chaos god would enjoy a sister of... Silence is soul, air quotes, the most. My name has been Bricky. Thanks for watching.

We're going to find out where Bricky goes when the podcast ends. And it's to the bar. Wow, really? You're going right to it. It's not even noon, man. The joke is I have to drink. I'm not going to the actual bar. Oh, well, still, it's like it's not even noon.

You're going to go drink. What are you going to go? What would you drink at this? hour. I said... What are you gonna make a screwdriver? You're gonna make a corkscrew or whatever? What?

What? What? I can't do this anymore. I'm going... I'm gonna go to bed instead. That's a much better answer. That's a much healthier answer. The only thing that I want to be silent is you, D.K.

Oh. Oh, I'm sorry. That was mean. Thanks everyone for watching. We'll see you next week. Bye!
