Well we know they’ve changed it to ” Adepta Sororitas” at least now. I mean it says it on the Games Workshop army list (on the website). So that’s a good sign.

Grey Knights are not incorruptible.

Plenty of Grey Knight fail the final test, after all.

What the Codex actually says is that not a single Grey Knight has been corrupted … so far!

That’s the difference. Like an “unbeatable” sports team. The fact that they haven’t been beaten, haven’t been corrupted yet, is testimony to the extreme methods they are willing to go to.

The Sisters event showcases this perfectly, hence why it fits the Grey Knights background perfectly (but is utterly pointless in the Space Wolves Codex, as it doesn’t even serve the fight against Demons).

The Sisters event shows you why (!) not a single Grey Knight has been corrupted “until today”. The Sisters-event explains to you why Grey Knights are known to be “incorruptible”.

Nothing in the Grey Knights Codex, however. precludes that in “the end times” of tomorrow, the first Grey Knight may well fall to Chaos if the Chapter grows lax.

….the Grey Knights are ALREADY uncorruptible. they killed a group of Battle Sisters who were uncorruptible because of their faith….HOW does that make sense?

The Codex of old men looking at a skanky warrior nun.

I don’t see that as any worse than the Space Wolves vs. Sisters thing by Phil Kelly.

Quite the contrary, the Grey Knights one actually made sense. It showcases the great lengths the Knights go to to avoid corruption, and it brought some grim-darkness back to 40K.

Phil Kelly’s Space Wolves shooting Sisters… just because, however, made no sense whatsoever.

Double J may be referring to the Grey Knight short story where the Emperor’s finest decided they needed the blood of sacrificial virgins to help them fight daemons. Possibly the most notorious piece of ‘snuff fiction’ written about the SoBs.

No, they were. It is 100% based on medieval church Latin from the Scholastic school. The modern difference between ‘church’ Latin and ‘classical’ Latin was not made until the reforms of Justus Lipsius and Erasmus of Rotterdam back in the late 1400s. The whole imagery in 40K and the attempts of a scholastic interpretation of science and technology by discovering and interpreting the ancients, mixed with religion and superstition, is a wonderful evocation of the medieval debates between the Dominicans and Benedicts.
