The Adepta Sororitas’ Armoury

The Adepta Sororitas armoury is the collective name for everything the Sisters of Battle carry into war, split across three reference lists: equipment, weaponry and vehicles. It’s the wargear side of the faction, kept separate from the relics and character-specific kit that get their own entries.

What the armoury actually covers

On the Lexicanum wiki, the armoury page is really a hub. It doesn’t list every item itself, it points you at three sub-lists: Adepta Sororitas Equipment, Adepta Sororitas Weaponry, and Adepta Sororitas Vehicles.

That split matters because the Sisters aren’t a single uniform fighting force. A Battle Sister squad, a Seraphim, a Retributor and a Penitent Engine all pull from different parts of the same armoury, and the lists reflect that spread.

Equipment and relics

The equipment list is where the faction’s flavour lives. It covers general wargear like power armour, jump packs, storm shields, Rosarius, Simulacrum Imperialis and various standards, plus a long tail of relics.

Relics are a separate category on purpose. The wiki notes the equipment list sticks to Sororitas gear only, so you won’t find Ecclesiarchy items, Ordo Hereticus witch hunter kit, or character-specific wargear mixed in. Things like the Triumph of Saint Katherine, the Cloak of St. Aspira or the Blessings of Sebastian Thor sit in the relic group.

  • General equipment: power armour, jump packs, storm shields, Rosarius, Simulacrum Imperialis, standards
  • Relics: named items tied to saints, orders or specific characters
  • Excluded by design: Ecclesiarchy gear, Ordo Hereticus wargear, unique character kit

Where the lists come from

Most of the named entries trace back to Codex: Adepta Sororitas, with the 8th and 9th edition books doing the heavy lifting. A few relics come from other places, including White Dwarf 470 and the Dark Heresy RPG supplement Blood of Martyrs.

That mix is worth knowing if you’re chasing a specific item, because a relic from an RPG sourcebook won’t always line up with what a tabletop codex says.

How it fits the wider Imperium

The armoury sits under the Ecclesiarchy side of the Imperium, alongside the Inquisition’s own armoury and the other faction armouries the wiki tracks. It’s a reference tool first, so treat it as a map to the sub-lists rather than a complete catalogue in one place.

If you want the full picture of a unit’s loadout, you’ll usually need to cross the armoury with the relevant codex entry.
