I've been trying to come up with an ending scene for the loyalist path where Heidi and her companions engage with the enemy in a final fight with the actions and conversations. I have summarized the Idea and made something like this:
Saint Celestine, Sister Verine, and Acolyte Heidi found themselves deep in the undercity alleys of Chunnov V, battling a Genestealer Cult uprising. The paths were tight and grimy—not ideal for Celestine’s grand, winged entrances. Unsurprisingly, her luminous wings snagged on a tangle of overhead cables during her first charge.
While Celestine struggled, dangling mid-air and delivering dramatic threats to the cultists below, Sister Verine muttered, “Not exactly divine efficiency, is it?” Verine, ever stoic, calmly severed the cables with a precise bolt shot, freeing Celestine, who landed gracefully and immediately resumed inspiring rhetoric. “The Emperor guides us!” she proclaimed. Heidi rolled her eyes but followed.
They soon stumbled upon the Genestealer Patriarch delivering a rousing sermon to its cultists about the “glory of the Hive Mind.” When the trio interrupted, the Patriarch waved a mining drill menacingly and declared, “Witness the blessings of the Star Children!” Verine whispered, “That’s just a power drill,” earning a disapproving glare from Heidi.
Battle erupted. Celestine unleashed holy flames, Heidi eliminated heretics with cold precision, and Verine wielded her Eviscerator like a whirlwind, shouting, “Next time, someone else gets the night shift!” The Patriarch tried to escape, offering cafeteria vouchers in desperation, but Celestine struck it down with one glorious sweep of her flaming blade.
As the tunnels fell silent, Verine quipped, “Drinks are on the Emperor tonight.” Celestine smiled serenely, while Heidi muttered, “Heresy never rests.” And with that, they marched onward, ready for the next battle.
What do you think? I hope this strikes the balance of grimdark action and humor!
Sure this will only serve as a VERY rough guidelines and will SURELY get a lot of EDIT. So please do not consider it as a spoiler.

A good start, less sexy than I would expect. The Genestealer needs to explode so they are all covered in gunk and someone can either quip about always having to do the "dirty work" or taking a bath to clean up as a group!
