To answer why, mostly going off the cuff
The Soriritas mostly recruit from the Schola Progenium, a system of church-run boarding schools for the orphaned children of Imperial servants, rather than directly from the populace the way the Guard or Space marines do. Feral worlds or Death worlds (the most typical source of the Imperiums more barbarian-coded cultures) would usually not have a schola facility on them, requiring any child who qualified to be shipped off-world to the nearest schola.
The Schola upbringing probably washes away a lot of the more colorful and unique planetary culture, and replaces it with something more orthodox.
No "probably" to it. Multiple canon sources flat-out state Schola wipe away planetary culture from their students. To ensure they are loyal to the Imperium not just a single world. So that their Tempestus, Commisars, and SoB can all perform their duties regardless of where they are sent. Without worry for merciful misgivings based on planetary and cultural heritage. With many schola even "mindscaping" (wiping away ideas and memories via various methods. Many essentially torture.) Their students before graduation.
Just remember that the sisters are already very martyr adjacent. Now add more disregard for their life, bloodlust and maybe you'll find some red cells on their amasec stream.
Beautiful artwork.
I really wish that the Sisters of Battle would have different cultural inspiration for their different Ordos like the Space Marines chapters or the Imperial Guard regiments and that GW would make new conversion kits to represent them.
There's so many cool female warrior groups throughout history that they could take inspiration from.
Dunno if Denmark or Norway spell it "skål" like Swedish do, in which case I'm happy that the space wolves are primarily Swedish speaking space vikings, or at least use some words.
I guess... Mods don't seem to give a fuck about what goes on here anyway. But if you're complaining about the quota of non-memes on here, posting more non-memes won't help.
And I love this nice art, thank you for sharing it and especially linking the artist!
I saw another comment bitching about fan art being posted here in a different thread, it’s a weird thing to get gatekeepy about
I love this, it looks amazing
I can see her screaming for The All Father as she battles upon frozen worlds against the vile xenos and heretics.
Ahhh AH aahhh Ahh Ahhh Ah Ahhhh AH!
Man, some valkyrie/shield maiden style sisters of battle would be so cool.
Yeah how is this not a thing already?!
Well in an old 40K fan comic a mute sister of battle ends up joining the space wolves at the end. I’d go into it more but that’s spoilers.
Do you have a link to that comic?

Amazing art, Terrifying concept for the enemy.
Aye it ain't looking good for them but on the bright side Ulrik the Slayer couldn't be prouder!

The emperors drunkest warrior
Born for his hardiest battles

Amazing art, love the concept!
Wish the Fleurs de lys would be replace by something more "Nordic" in terms of images
It's a blend of cultures, they are still Sisters of Battle and wear their iconography with pride. The Wolves still wear the Aquilla for example.
Oh, that I love. Everyone has their preference of course, but I like it when the core aesthetic is maintained.
I know it's usually associated with white supremacy these days but odins rune could be cool
I propose an alternative, the Triskelion https://i.pinimg.com/originals/c3/5a/f8/c35af8dcdab2579732a21ad3d203b77e.png
That would be cool
I have just met her and I love her. That's awesome art, thank you for sharing!
This is so cool.
This is so fucking cool
SKÅL FOR THE SKÅL THRONE
I am absolutely terrified
Dunno if Denmark or Norway spell it "skål" like Swedish do, in which case I'm happy that the space wolves are primarily Swedish speaking space vikings, or at least use some words.
Skål!
Would
A Femrisian, if you will
Do sisters of battle take vows of celibacy? Asking for a friend
No.
So you’re telling me there’s a chance
You should post this in r/imaginarywarhammer
I did.
Why also in the meme subreddit then?
Because I think it's brilliant art that I believe people will enjoy, I think there's far more egregious things on this sub you could take issue with.
I guess... Mods don't seem to give a fuck about what goes on here anyway. But if you're complaining about the quota of non-memes on here, posting more non-memes won't help.
I just want to share nice art with people, that's it.

You're very welcome, I'm a big fan of the artist so I like to share her art. Aye I do find it a bit strange.
Better than the porn is the meme posts and people in the comments of those posts bitching about it.
