I was just wondering what you guys think of female Chaos Marines.

Evil boobies. hmmmmm..... There is alot of modelling possiblities but how do you overcome the armored boobies of doom that everyone wants to model on the power armor?

I dont know i think i will just use green stuff from Games Workshop

I am reminded of the guy who modelled the female space marines of each original chapter... That ended in a crap storm of a thread IIRC. SOOOO, my advice is Slaanesh up some SoB and call them your female CSM. If not that, prepare for danger and a lack of easy converting. It's not easy to turn those regular CSM into females.

On a side note, why would you want female CSM or SM at all? I for one don't want women 7-8 feet tall and bigger than me around. Men are implied that bigger is better. Women... Not so much.

Also, I FEEL DIRTY. The puns in there gave me a heart attack.

You could always use the Slannesh Demonette or female wood elf heads for the marines. It would give you that female look without having to do much conversion for GS work. The power armor would cover most of the female curves that people like to model.

I'm strongly against female space marines but since they care chaos (they must be slaanesh though) I suppose if you have enough fluff you can pull it off.

Femmarines can only work modelling-wise if you dont do the LULBOOBS method of sculpting them, simply get marines and use female (or male elf, they look more feminine) heads.

I hate to encourage potential fluff-rape but its your army so do as you wish...

What happens in the Eye....doesnt always stay in the Eye...

As mentioned, this could turn into a fluff-fest flame-tard-gasm sort of event- so I hope people stick to the modeling aspects and leave all the fluff 'what ifs and whyfores' elsewhere GW doesnt have the IP to space boobs yet, so lets just enjoy this one facet until they hit us with a C&D

thompie, the idea you have isnt a new one, its something alot of people have tried, and not many have done very well. It takes a termendous amount of work/effort- you can go to town with some green stuff on an existing CSM figure, but making an already bulky torso even bigger by putting boobs on it usually makes them look comical.

The only way I can really see this working, is with tons of conversion work, alot of partial deamonic sculpts with CSM/deamon hybrids sort of emphasizing slaneshi traits. Again, this is all stuff others have tried before, and not many have the time, patience, or skills to pull off the vision of what they want- so keep in mind it is doable- but its a pretty large project to do well if you plan on doing more than just one or two of them.

The problem with Daemonettes with Power Armor is that it'll look like daemonettes trying to fight in power armor. Nothing else to say with that. Just shave the armor off the breast of a SoB, take off all the iconography, and sculpt on some cult symbols and more breasts. Cause we all know Slaanesh ain't happy with an even number of bewbs.

Not to mention that women who've undergone the Astartes process will just look like men. Seriously, have you seen any female body-builders?

My first thought as well Nurglitch... Not to offend those women but scary stuff.

Make a tranny slanneshi marine.

PROFIT!

Nice points so far......

I say ,they're all whiny and complaining gits, so CSM are the girls ...

It all depends on the CSM group 1hadhq, like with the Regular Space Marines.

I like the idea of putting female heads on my CSM. Im not really slaanesh though (i think i will just go with Chaos Undivided)
And why i want to do it? i just like the idea of female CSM in my army it something different then men only

The only way I can see to do this is to completely sculpt your own torsos so that the finished product is a feminine looking torso that is the same size as a regular torso and not an over-sized torso with boobs sculpted on. of course you'll prolly have to re-sculpt the legs to make the new torsos fit right.

Centurion.

Cant i just use the normal torsos then?

You could try something like a Slaanesh deamonette mixed with a posessed marine and make it the Asp. Champ of a unit of Noise Marines, or just a member in a possessed unit. As far as fluff goes, if it's just one or two models then they could easily be members of a weak Champion's 'Harem' who had more potential than the Champion him/her/itself, killing the champ and taking his/her/it's armour and weapons, with a blessing from slaanesh to boot.

That is indeed a good idea.
but what if i want her to be a member of a normal squad of CSM

The armour would be too shapen/thick, with the helmets on, you wouldn't even be able to tell what gender a marine was, realistically.

Maybe im hoping for too much.. but...

If you can think it, you can do it. Everyone else's opinion is irrelevent.

While Slaaneshi may the obvious theme, it would be very interesting to a an all-female chapter that was denounced for the heresy of "perverting" (by the Imperium's standards) the geneseed by implanting it into females. The banished chapter could have hidden in the Eye of Terror, still coming out either for revenge, or to complete their original duty, a la Legion of the Damned.

Lots of possibilities there.

I would start from scratch, you could make a very stringy, thin armature and make it very spiky and curved.

An alternative would be to sand down some guardians and slap on a SM back pack and female heads.

Women cant be marines....The Imperium seems to have more men than women anyways(they need the men to go die for the emperor...the woman are there to just breed for more man power...to get killed in the meat grinder)

Not a very relevant point for modeling, and kinda stupid in general

This is a game of imagination, theres no harm in using it to make something different.

not to sound "male superior" but I dont think a women would survive a day in the Guard...I mean I dont even think I could.

Incorrect, the imperial guard has all female regiments, and mixed regiments. If these regiments were not as effective as their all male equivalents they would probably not exist.

make fallen sisiters of battle

that solve all problem

lol @ 'male superior', it comes across as more 'uneducated and closeted'. And since the Imperial Guard is imaginary- doubting you could survive a day in it just points to a lack of imagination.

But again- this is NOT the place for the fluff debate- feel free to hijack, er, start a thread in the proper forum on the topic if you reaally feel you need the vindication from the GW IP Marshals.


Now- the OP mentioned hes not all that into Slaaneshi stuff, which Chaos power would you want to be working with? Tzeentch could maybe do a witch/crone theme....

So you want an army of 12 years old girls?!?

Danger! Danger! Danger!

I like this idea for sure.
And i think that im just going to try putting female heads on normal space marines(without green stuff).
First put the head on without glue to see if it looks good.
