I'm thinking of adding Inquisitor Veleria to my GK army at some point, as well as a few female warrior acolytes, all in power armor. GW's female inquisitor is pretty fugly, I'm looking for a hawt (yet family friendly) Valeria and acolytes. I've spent a couple hours poring over the companies listed in the sticky in this sub forum, and can't find what I'm looking for. Any ideas/suggestions/links would be much appreciated.
EDIT: I should add that I've looked at the Raging Heroes figs, and the Warrior Priest Brunhilde could almost work. I really do like their female Commisars, and may do one for my Ultramar PDF.

I had thought about repurposing my Canoness, but I'm looking for something a little outside the box. You know, like, hawt.

Well, since I am an adult and not up to date with slang these days, I will assume that "hawt" means "very attractive"... In any case, your options are going to be fairly limited; Reaper offers this mini, but if it is like any other Reaper model I have seen, the scale will be way off.
Some other choices:

http://privateerpress.com/warmachine/gallery/cygnar/solos/journeyman-warcaster-variant
http://privateerpress.com/iron-kingdoms/miniatures/daniera-madise-cleric-of-morrow
You could also try some of the minis from Infinity (especially ones from the PanPacific and Yu Jing factions), but again, they are a different style (very slender) when compared to GW so I do not know how they would look on the table.
Might I also suggest search Google yourself since you know exactly what you are looking for and I lack the ability to read minds over the internet?

I have been googling, and I'm starting to think what I'm looking for may not exist. I may look at WHFB stuff to see if there's something workable there. I don't mind a little kit bashing, but I don't want to do full on conversion, not really my thing.
I'm 49 and know what hawt means, lol. Thanks for your help, btw.

Look also at the Raging Heroes kickstarter characters, some might fit.
Dreamforge will soon release some female power armour troups.
Meow Meow Minis has something resembling female Space marines:

Thanks, Kroothawk. I was hoping you'd weigh in, you seem to be the "knower of all minis not GW". The Meow Meow figs look good for Warrior Acolytes. A Valeria stand in seems to be the one giving me trouble. I may go with the Brunhilde model and have to do a little conversion.

I second the vote for Raging Heroes. Particularly General Ilsa Wolfenstein or Lady von Stroheim.

Check out figures from a game called Void. It died about a decade ago but it had some pretty cool figures if you can find them. Such as:

http://www.frpgames.com/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=41224#.Ub__dZwWC8A
Finding some of these might prove problematic these days though.

Check out Scotia Grendel's site.
They might still have them. Yep. Just checked the site.

Thanks for all the suggestions, guys. Poking around on Raging Heroes site I see they have plans for a SoB style army. I'm thinking now I might wait a bit and see what they come out with. I find myself falling in love with their figs, and I may buy one or two of the Kurganovas for my Ultramar PDF that may actually get done some day. Nothing like a hawt Commissar!

Crazy as it is, that figure reminds me of King Goeffry from HBO's Game of Thrones.

I didn't see these mentioned, and I can't find them on Mega Miniatures site either. MM is selling off their molds, so they must have found a new owner who hasn't been disclosed yet.
'Shock Sisters', formerly from Demonblade.
Lumpy, but they were cheap and I thought I'd show them for sake of completeness.
You could also try looking for Etoiles Mortant from the Warzone game.
WAY back in the days of 40K Rogue Trader there were two females in power armor in the 'Adventurers' range.
I preordered this figure the other day, for when she's not in power armor  Pricey for a single figure, but she will be fun to paint.

Prince August miniatures in Ireland has some WZ stuff in metals and plastics still available.

That's the page for the etoiles mortant units.
