If the reality of militant religious bigots in power armor doesn't stop sales, why would the idea of children in combat school do anything?

**The Dreadnote**

I don't really see this thread breaking from the "Who wants to see these models?", "but it can't happen in the fluff!" cycle any time soon.

**Chibi Bodge-Battle**

hehe
You said it Dreadnote.
Wonder how many people have been converted by the arguments on either side. not a lot to zero would be my guess.

sheesh.

**BaronIveagh**

Sorry for lack of updates. Left arm in cast makes it hard to type, let alone model things.

See this thread on our very own DakkaDakka.

Chibi Bodge-Battle is correct that the best way to do this would be to simply put a female head on a marine (though realistically, they would probably have short hair to fit inside the helmet). Any talk of having boobs on the armor or anything is just preposterous. Female IG that are somewhat anatomically different (within reason!) are plausible. But a woman in full plate armor would not look different than a similarly-sized man. Armor doesn't become skinnier and more form-fitting just because the wearer is a girl. It would still have to have the same thickness, power plant, and servo-musculature as a male. Think about it. It is 3+ inch thick unobtanium plating attached to an powered exoskeleton. At that level of bulk, you won't notice anatomical differences between the sex of the wearer.

Is there any good heads in production anywhere to just head swap? As i think the above pic is rather effective. But still some custom fsm would also be cool

Not to mention that on a purely sales driven reason most people who enter the hobby are boys between the ages of 11-16, which fits with the space marine induction age (coincidence?).

I never noticed that and that is quite interesting.
Also OP cant wait for pic of complete model.

**Volkov**

That just looks like a sister of battle to me...

**BaronIveagh**

While I agree with zandris' approach, there still will be some proportion variation in the armor. And as this is GW, all hands will be goofilly large, and knees impossibly small.

**Soladrin**

Goggles? Really?

Oh, and my opinion is still the same!

**blakmerlin202**

But if I may we dont't know if the emperor created female primarchs and also we don't know if space marine chapter who don't adhere to the codex astartes such as the space wolve blood angels ect may recruit females into their chapters if they show potential so it is possible for there to be female space marines and I would back a project to create these models

**TBD**

Just when you thought this thread finally went away...

We don't know if the Emperor didn't create Santa Claus either, and maybe some Space Marine chapters recruit giant purple Easterbunnies as well.

All we have "officially" is the background GW gives us, and as far as I know there are no female Marines there.

**BaronIveagh**

Thanks for the necro: it reminded me to update everyone on progress:

Ok, folks, I'm out of the splints and other things and can use my hands again, obviously, but I haven't really had time to get cracking on prototypes. I think the next thing that will actually make it out of hte studio was the proposition to Chapterhouse for female guard bits, but this one is still in production.

You could have let this godforsaken thread die, why did you have to necro it?

Don't you mean: Why did you have to remind him he was supposed to be doing this? Now there will be minis and we'll be forced to play against girls!

**blakmerlin202**

hey all I'm saying is gw is still cranking out the forgotten primarchs and some of them could be women and also you don't need all the implants to be considered a space marine for example luther didn't have all the implants but he was just as strong as any of the dark angels

**MekanobSamael**

Seriously, what is the problem with female marines? The level of genetic modification available in this setting is astounding. If it can give a human being acid glands it can put the Emperor's genes into a woman and make her a space marine. I have said this before, and I will say it again. Humans are built to survive and breed. Space marine are built to kill aliens with chainswords. They wouldn't have working sex characteristics anyway, since they don't reproduce. And the ideal body build for a genetically-engineered combat creature looks pretty much the same regardless of the original genetic model. Female space marines do not look "womanly" in any way, shape, or form. They look like space marines.

In summary, that is an awesome model you have there, and if they made female space marine heads, hell yes I would make my MEQs female.

**usernamesareannoying**

sisters of battle are hot therefore i bet female space marines would be hot.
id hit it...

**insaniak**

I think this thread has had its day.

If anyone actually gets around to making models, feel free to start a new thread in the modelling section.
