Priest "Chaplain" from Rogue Trader
One of the rather colorful characters you can meet in Footfall, it’s a pity that his full name is not in the game

As an IRL obstructive bureaucrat, it saddens me that the Administratum don't have their own military like the Ecclesiarchy or Admech.
I know they control the Ordo Tempestus, but I'm thinking more like a vast army of tanks that look like filing cabinets and stapler-shaped heavy bolters and so on. Power-armoured battle scriveners covered in requisition permit purity seals going on Rectification Crusades to forcibly make reality match with their records.

Something in 40k which I find interesting, very funny, and also both realistic but a really weird worlbuilding choice for a setting that is meant to be at least somewhat satirical is that the Imperial Cult of the Imperium of Man is in many ways more tolerant of heterodoxy than the real world Catholic Church

Local Rogue Trader who went from being a femcel to being a Goddess. She's more evil in the main universe because she didn't get a sexy priest who likes to start cults for fun as a bf and her prophet

On the tension between the Adeptuses Ministorum and Sororitas
Excerpts of a lecture by Inquisitor-Professor Ziel Malthus of the Ordo Hereticus:
"Anyone who has been in a relationship or studied them from afar know that codependency is not a great basis for a relationship. Unfortunately, this toxic dynamic has been writ large across the Imperium with the Ecclesiarchy and Sisters of Battle. Without a constant external threat, both organizations become prone to mundane and extraordinary forms of corruption."
"Mundane activities provide the mental frame work that the weak willed use in dealing with the extraordinary. This is how diplomatic Xenos and Daemons are able to gain influence over our species. By presenting themselves as just another trade partner who will abide by local customs, they mute their victims sense of righteous disgust. Accepting a bribe from a recidivist is merely the first step on a path leading to making a pact with unholy warp-horrors. This tragedy is constantly occurring and being averted thanks to those who abide by the Pax Imperialis"
"As you already know, the Adeptus Sororitas can be divided into the orders militant, hospitallers, famulous, and dialogus. The first protects the God-Emperor's houses of worship. The second provides healthcare to the faithful populace. The third guides the nobility towards righteousness. And the fourth accumulates, disperses, and censors knowledge. Due to their culture of militancy and austerity, when the Sisters receive excess funding they tend towards over-preparedness rather than conventional decadence. That is no sin in this accursed universe and if more people lived like they did, we wouldn't have so many problems. But large caches of weapons, supplies, and useful information are difficult to maintain and secure. Inevitably something gets loose and causes havoc."
"The modern Adeptus Ministorum was founded at the same time as the Sororitas in the wake of the Vandire Heresy. The ministorum is meant to give the people a sense of purpose in exchange for their wealth and lives. Every cult of the emperor is unique but they must all pay their tithes to the Sisters. If they don't, they will be declared heretical and purged by the Sisters and any other imperial forces. This ensures that well organized and generous sects survive longer than fraudulent faiths. The flipside of this is that one cannot extract wealth from a cult if one does not know it exists. And so those hidden spiritual leaders who are best at keeping secrets also tend to tend to have more resources than those priests that are honest. As members of the Ordo Hereticus, unraveling these impious conspiracies will make up the bulk of your work."
"Without an external threat, the churches and sisters are like... It's like a pair of ourosbouros, the mythical xenos that feeds on itself for eternity... But mated together, if that makes any sense."
"The sisters will over extract from the churches in preparation for an invasion that never comes. That creates resentment in the starving masses and greedy nobles. They unite together to overthrow the faithful. They will fail and the Sisters will double down on tithes to prepare for another revolt, and in doing so, plant the seeds for another. This cycle is self-destructive, yet it does have some redeeming value in that it produces veterans with some combat experience."
"Apostate ministers will lie to the sisters, claiming diminishing returns from their coffers, while financing their own private institutions. Underfunded and austerity minded, a poorly led group of sororitas will make do with what they have rather than interrogate the matter. When crisis comes, the sisters efforts will be inadequate which plays into the apostate narrative. The sisters are portrayed as being useless and unworthy of the faithfuls support. And so the church leaders become ever more powerful while the Sisters are relegated to irrelevance. This can lead to the same societal power dynamics that allowed Goge Vandire to nearly ruin the Imperium."
"Ordo Hereticus Inquisitors and Adeptus Arbites Judges must be aware of these factors when they enter segments of the imperium ruled by faith."

Starting a sisters of battle army, and these are my two current works in progress. Trying out a different color palette cause I like the royal feel the gold and purple give off. Need to buy an actual light though :/
