In the tabletop, they have both their own special character - Bertha Bestraufrung - and an associated Hired Sword the Fallen Sister, who ran away from the convent in shame after she spontaneously awakened her own magical powers.
Others are more in line with true vampires, using their disguise for political leverage while indulging themselves behind closed doors. Some were convinced that Undead aren't really heretical after all and use their immunity to disease to get into areas struck by plague and care for the dead and dying.
In the current day of canon, most of the original Sisters were wiped out with the chaos of the Mordheim events. They are all but extinct in the rest of the Empire with most of the remaining sisters having settled in the nunnery in Mordheim. They are one of the official warbands to the GW game Mordheim. In addition, vampires from the Lahmian bloodline have infiltrated their numbers. The Warhammer Fantasy equivalent to the Sisters of Battle and shlick to worship Sigmar (duh). Many rededicated themselves to other gods, like Morr. They're independent of the church and thus differ greatly from convent to convent. As with the Chapter Tactics of the Space Marines (and their equivalents in other Factions), Sisters of Battle Detachments in Battle-forged armies can be given Convictions, which each offer powerful abilities that represent how your favourite Order fights. However, they spread their faith throughout the Empire creating a large second generation of Sisters. The Warhammer Fantasy equivalent to the Sisters of Battle and shlick to worship Sigmar (duh). A lot of people will dismiss this as simple “oh the internet gives negative reviews to everything” pessimism, and so be it, but I do genuinely feel that the book has gotten worse yet again.40px This article related to Warhammer Fantasy Battle is a stub. Now, looking at the 6E update to that codex… well, I didn’t start off with high hopes making Sisters a “real” 6E book would’ve taken quite a bit of work, work that I didn’t expect GW was interested in doing, and now having read the codex I don’t feel like I was terribly far off the mark. That didn’t exactly mean the book was weak– as I said, it had its strong units, like most books- but it certainly wasn’t flexible and really wasn’t interesting from my view. And, given how random that was and that it didn’t really fundamentally change most of your decisions, that could hardly be counted on to carry the whole codex. While it had some strong units, the codex as a whole was essentially a gutting and simplification of the 3E book, adding very few unique ideas aside from the Faith system. So the last time around, when GW released the SoB codex in White Dwarf, I wasn’t terribly impressed with it.
