Honestly? I've got to say I prefer the full power armour version.
It genuinely looks so generic and boring it loses all appeal. Also, would violate the lore of the setting to the extreme and the entire reason for the factions existence.
Alright, to tell the tourists why fans of the setting think their opinion is trash: Sororita armor HAS to be overtly feminine. Besides the fact that no one complains Catachans are all rippling muscle men who wear no armor to expose said muscle (making all of you who complain about Sororitas hypocrites) making this whole thing bunk, the lore none of you care about is kind of important here. They are the militant arm of the church. In the setting said church tried to overthrow all balance of power and as such were banned from possessing "MEN at arms". Their solution? Use orphaned girls as foot soldiers, their overt femininity protecting the church and their faith by proxy because lol loophole. And it worked, because that's how ponderous and dumb bureaucracy is in 40k.
So stop trying to push to sanitize something you don't even play and leave people alone. Also... The game is from the 80s, it's an obvious reference to female metal groups and fantasy art at the time, so again shut up.
As I rub my fingers together, imagine me playing a dirge as your precious multi-million dollar franchise burns to the ground at the hands of errant internet comments. Cadov worked tirelessly to protect Games Workshop's virgin lore from the grasping hands of the greedy artists, but alas, the plastic-pushing conglomerate was destroyed by the removal of boobplates.

ever heard the phrase "don't fix what isn't broken"? this is one of those moments.
and I thank & praise @Cadov for standing up for the lore of this series that has never been trampled on for the nearly 50 years of its existence until recently thanks to this disease known as the woke agenda that's been running every world-famous Western IP into the ground these past few years since 2016
