Woke: That doesn’t even make sense, stop being weird

Bespoke: Space Marines can’t be feeeeeemale because they’re all gay for each other. It’s just a giant polycule. they ain’t talking about war when they call each other “battle brother”.

    Games Workshop just needs to say that either Fabius Bile or Belisarius Cawl reworked some gene seed to work on women. Boom. Done. Seriously not that hard. Cawl created the Primaris and Fabius has been cloning primarchs. They can do it ffs.

      In the book “Genefather” Fabius present his best creation and it’s a woman, who could together with Bile defeat Alpha Primus, so that’s already on the level above ordinary marine.

      The problem is that if they do this they can’t sell Space Marines & Sisters of Battle as two separate armies.

        I would say sisters despite the intentions of their introduction to be sort of female space marines are very much distinct faction by now and would have no problem selling.

          100%. I’m not an expert, but I didn’t know they were supposed to be the same faction at first when I looked at my friend explaining all the armies. Their Catholic aesthetic is so much more pronounced.

          And unrelated, but also pretty cool looking. I think I’d definitely play Sisters of Battle if I ever got into WH40K

        There are two ways they could go about adding FSM. The first is say “going through the process of becoming a space marine makes whoever did, regardless of AGAB, look like a big beefy manly man” and introduce no new models. The second is to release an upgrade sprue (estimated price: $30USD) with 20 femme-looking heads. Neither would cut into SoB sales.
