Do you think if GW made a chapter of Female Space Marines more ladies would play?
Alternately if a line of female IG models or regiment was produced would that encourage more female players?
I know the sisters are around, and yes they are very cool, but sadly I never see them.

Dunno. Depends on advertising attempts and so on, and how exactly they were portrayed.

Well it would require some serious retcons to the fluff but that's never stopped GW before...

I was referring to the faces, not the hair. Early 40K art and models regarding females tended to be have feminine bodies but masculine heads. Essentially, they looked like slender guys with tits.

Arguably it could be done - after all the two lost primarchs could actually be matriarchs, and the Marines are produced using a vastly different process that only works on females but produces the same or similar end result. A process that has been lost for some time - we all know how the Imperium totally drops the ball and keeps losing tech.
I dunno; I've been up for nigh 24-hours now.

Which, lets face it, is not a good look by most people's standards. Originally Posted by Melissia

We've kind been here before with plenty of other threads about female sculpts (that I now can't find to link to but I'm sure someone will) I think females in power armour whilst not as well covered (no pun intended) as the male figures are substantially better catered for than female guard figures.Cats and Dogs are better than kids because they eat less, don't ask for money and if they get pregnant you can sell their children.
