'''Seraphim''' are [[Sisters of Battle]] who are trained specialized in hit-and-run close-quarter attacks using [[jump pack]]s. They have the ability to fire two [[Bolt Pistol]]s simultaneously making them experts at close combatand pistols. Seraphim Squads are deployed as a fast attack squad with the Sisters of Battle. The squad can be accompanied by a [[Sister Superior]]. Occasionally Seraphim They usually carry a pair of Hand [[Bolt Pistol]]s, occasionally replaced by [[Hand Flamer]]s (a hand-held version of the regular Flamer) or [[Inferno Pistol]]s. The Seraphim are taught the ancient ways of the [[Daughters of the Emperor]] passed down since the order's creation on [[San Leor]], and are experts in unarmed fighting, armed hand-to-hand combat, jump pack operation and the co-ordination and ambidextrousness needed to fire two pistols at once.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2}}{{Fn|3}} Seraphim are the most elite warriors of the Sisters of Battle alongside [[Celestians]], and select only the most talented and experienced Sororitas to join their ranks. Seraphim have a high turnover rate, often having to return to other combat squads as veteran leaders to train new troops.{{Fn|2}}{{Fn|3}} Due to their angelic profile, their intervention on the battlefield has been noted as particularly increasing the morale of imperial forces present and strinking fear into the enemies of mankind, possibly an intentional result of their jump pack design and battlefield role, and has resulted in the ''avenging angels'' nickname.{{Fn|3}} 

In the [[Order of the Sacred Rose]], elite Seraphims are formed into squadrons called Flamewings. They are renowned throughout the Order of the Sacred Rose for their agile grace and never losing their accuracy while moving on the field of battle. If the need arises they can be requisitioned into serving in a [[Canoness]]' personal retinue.{{Fn|24}}
