The Exorcist is the primary long-range support vehicle of the Adepta Sororitas, also known as the Sisters of Battle. Besides the Rhino, the Exorcist is the oldest type of vehicle in service to the Sisterhood, the history of the Exorcist goes back as far as the Age of Apostasy. Some Exorcist tanks in service today originate from that time period, and are heavily venerated and considered sacred by their users. These tanks, of which some are very similar in appearance to the Space Marine Whirlwind missile tank, use ancient technologies that are barely understood by the Adeptus Mechanicus today. Many of these ancient machines have a reputation as being temperamental and difficult, their Machine Spirits requiring constant work and prayer in order to keep them battle-ready.

The Exorcist exemplifies the Adepta Sororitas’s unique blend of fervent devotion and ruthless prosecution of heresy. This mobile shrine to the Emperor is a masterpiece of ornate craftsmanship, rolling into battle while broadcasting hymns of praise. These inspiring sounds resonate across the battlefield, filling the hearts of the faithful with renewed faith and pride. When squadrons of Exorcists advance in armored spearheads, their combined hymns transform even the most brutal warzone into a resounding cathedral.
