The Author

Aaron Neal Trout — Industrial designer, recent Warhammer convert, and author of The Verdigris.

Drawing from his first formative 40K memory — John Blanche’s iconic Codex: Sisters of Battle art — and a lifelong fascination with special operations doctrine, he explores what a shift in palette, tone, and purpose could mean for the Adepta Sororitas.

What began as a one-page Inquisition memorandum meant to earn a few stamps in a Battle Honours booklet unexpectedly grew into something larger.

That’s the magic of the universe Games Workshop has created: its vast mythos invites players to carve out their own corner of the grimdark and shape it into something deeply personal.
