Equip-Legality11

The Battle Sister carries the Holy Trinity to war: her list spans the boltgun and storm bolter, the meltagun and flamer, and the bolt pistol at her hip, so she can be armed for any of the three sacred patterns. A chainsword answers close work, and the condemnor boltgun and condemnor stakes arm her for the witch-hunt. Power armour is hers by right, a preysight sharpens her aim, and both frag and krak grenades ride her belt.

The Canoness has the run of the armoury. She may pair pistols — bolt or inferno — or take a combi-weapon, and she wields the power sword, power maul or chainsword in the other hand. Power armour and the rosarius field are hers, and a jump pack lifts her into the Canoness Seraphim aspect that leads the strike. As the Order's commander she alone may bear the relic Silvana's paired inferno pistols. Frag and krak grenades complete her wargear.

The Exorcist and its swifter Immolator sister mount their armament in the hull, not the hand: a multi-melta or a heavy flamer, the fast tank's answer to armour and to a massed hold alike. Krak grenades ride the crew's stores against heavier foes. As a vehicle it carries no infantry kit — its choices are made in the choice of gun.

The Novitiate's list is a short one, fitting an initiate not yet raised to plate. She takes a boltgun or a flamer, a bolt pistol, and a chainsword for close work; her armour is carapace and flak rather than a Sister's power armour, and only frag grenades are entrusted to her. She learns the war she has not yet fully earned.

The Paragon Warsuit's choices are made in its hardpoints: a multi-melta or a heavy flamer paired with a war-blade, all scoped to the suit itself. Its armour is the hull. Seldom fielded by the Silent Order, its heavy panoply belongs to the command-weighted Orders, and its list stays narrow — the weapon of the mount, and nothing a lighter fighter would carry.

The Penitent Engine's armament is bolted to the hull — an eviscerator's grinding blades and a heavy weapon, a multi-melta or heavy flamer, all walker-scoped. Krak grenades serve against harder targets. The chained penitent within makes no choices of kit; the engine is armed as it is built, a battering ram the swift line steers and strikes around.

The Sister Repentia has renounced all but the blade. Her list is the eviscerator she swings and the neural whip of her overseer, with frag grenades her only other war-store. She takes no armour — faith is her only shield — and no ranged weapon; the penitent's road is the charge, and everything she carries serves to end it.

The Retributor's list is built around weight of fire: the heavy bolter, heavy flamer and multi-melta are hers to choose, backed by a boltgun, a bolt pistol and a chainsword for when the enemy closes. Power armour and a preysight steady her firing, and frag and krak grenades round out her stores. Hers is the heavy hand the Silent Order seldom leans on, but arms fully when it does.

The Seraphim's list is the strike itself. She pairs pistols — bolt, inferno or hand-flamer — to fire two-at-once on the descent, or takes paired power blades for the Zephyrim's jump-melee, with a chainsword as a fallback. Power armour and a jump pack are her birthright, and the Silent-Order grav-chutes ready the appear-from-silence deploy. A Superior may bear the relic Twin Blades of Mortifray. Frag and krak grenades ride the drop.

The Sister Superior arms as the veteran she is. Her list spans the combi-weapon, storm bolter, boltgun and meltagun for range, the bolt pistol at her side, and the power sword, power maul or chainsword for the melee. Power armour protects her, and frag and krak grenades complete her kit. As the Celestian screen leader she is equipped to hold the ground the jump line leaves behind.

The specialist Champion arms to her office. A boltgun, bolt pistol, chainsword or power maul serve her in the fight, and power armour protects her. Beyond arms, her list carries the tools of her calling: the Hospitaller's chirurgeon's tools, the Dialogus's Book of St. Lucius, a sacred banner, a cherub, and — for the Dialogus of this Order — the Litany of the Unanswered. Frag grenades complete her kit.
