Lacking the extensive biological/technological upgrades that turn an ordinary human male into a superhuman Space Marine, they are not in the 'supersoldier' in terms of combat ability and endurance. They wear markings determined by their designation, which are Orders instead of Chapters. This creates an interesting situation as the sororitas lean towards two extremes of weapon types: melta weapons for anti-tank and flame weapons for anti-infantry, both of which being heat based guns.

Their weapons tend to be heat- and flame-based, because of the 'purifying' effect of fire, inspired mainly by the popular portrayal of the Emperor as a cleansing fire. Though not the same as the Space Marines, they do wear similar power armor and have the same general unit set-up. (a book describing the armies and descriptions of the race and its leaders for the original board-game lasting usually around 2 hours long for 3 players, each with their own army to play) The Sisters of Battle are also a playable race in the Dawn of War real-time strategy game, as part of the Soulstorm expansion. As such, the Sisters are found within Codex: Witch Hunters. They now comprise the Chamber Militant of the Ordo Hereticus, 'Witch Hunters', which is tasked with hunting down and destroying heretics and unsanctioned psychics (commonly known as 'rogue psykers' or 'witches'). In the 2nd edition of the game they were a standalone army, but, like the Grey Knights, the 3rd edition codices saw them joined to an Inquisitorial force. They were officially founded in 36th Millennium by the Ecclesiarch Alexis XXII as Ordes Militant. They enforce the Imperial religion, seeking out and destroying heretics that defy the Emperor's Will. The Sisters devotedly serve the Emperor of Mankind.

In the fictional universe of Warhammer 40,000, the Sisters of Battle, also known as the Adepta Sororitas, are female warriors belonging to the 'Ecclesiarchy', the religious arm of the Imperial government.
