The following is a detachment of a Full Company of Adepta Sororitas. It
would be used when the opposition is likely to be stiff (e.g. Adeptus
Astartes rather than unarmed civilians...). It is part of a large,
regular force, rather than the small and ad-hoc "Military Advisors Plus
Angry Peasants" force listed above.

Justification:
The Codex:Sisters Of Battle give quite a different picture from the
original Adepta Sororitas. Instead of complete companies, arrayed for
battle and equipped as per the Adeptus Astartes, they use small
5-woman "Special Forces" teams, charged with agitation and propaganda.
One wonders if they wear Green Berets off-duty, but I digress.
The original Sisters of Battle, on the other hand, were almost a minor
Inquisition (and often had some jurisdictional disputation as to who
was responsible for which area). They were responsible for doing the
day-to-day persecution of the Unclean, as are the "new-look" Sisters,
but they also were responsible for keeping a close eye on the Adeptus
Astartes to prevent another Heresy. And unlike the Inquisition, they
had the up-front military power to make any lesson stick.
Thus the two army lists: The common-or-garden Ecclesiarchy contingent,
used for day-to-day cleansing of minor Genestealer infestations,
and burning of individual Heretics, and the full-blown military force
used in lieu of Adeptus Astartes when they are wither innapropriate
or unavailable.
As regards the mechanics, the astute observer will notice some minor
differences from Tommy Roju's original. Firstly, the Sisters of Battle
have been given the "Stubborn" attribute, in order to cater for the
Special Rites performed by the Sisters Superior in each squad. Secondly,
the points values have been increased somewhat. Fratri Militarii are
now no longer cheaper than the comparable Imperial Guard, and the
Sisters
of Battle now cost the same as Adeptus Astartes. The special rules
regarding "rampage" under certain conditions have been deleted as too
powerful, and too complex. It's also most unlikely that ANY IG force
will
completely lack psykers! Fourthly, the extra Whirlwinds etc are deleted:
from the Ecclesairachy force. They do, however, appear in the Full-Blown
Battle Force, as do a lot of other vehicles.
