ARE THEY REAL?

Well, it's pretty clear that, in the Grim Darkness of the Far Future, women fill one of three roles on the battlefield:

1) Specialized All-Women Units.
-Sisters of Battle
-Escher Gangs
-Daemonettes

2) Limited Edition Miniatures.
-Catachan with Grenade Launcher
-Female Commissar

3) Eldar Units
-They're sort of androgynous already.
-So I guess there's a lot of room for overlap.

Therefore, I think it's safe to say that you can only have a Daemon Princess if it's converted from a limited edition model, fielded as part of an all female Chaos force, or some sort of fallen Eldar or Dark Eldar. Otherwise you're being unfluffy.

Chaos Gods don't really seem to care about gender one way or the other... but it'd be hard to tell unless they were Slaaneshi (or perhaps, it would be even HARDER to tell if they were Slaaneshi)

i dont see whats stopping anyone from making a daemon princess.

Dave: that has nothing to do with it what so ever.

Asmodeus has it spot on, they dont really care about gender, so its easily possible.
even more so if its slaanesh as it fits in with the style of the army.

I had an idea for a Chaos Dreadnought in a 'feminine' form. (Based on Valentine's second form from Guilty Gear.)

But a Daemon Princess...interesting. I have a Chaos Sorceress that has dealings with a Daemon Prince, though I don't use her very much.

Excellent summary!

Some on HAS made a demon princess. I dont remember who it was BUT it was a large female.... succubus? with wings and a bad ass sword. And her legs were kindda crossed. hmmm who was that?

Namely the decided Lack of good, decent or simply just female miniatures in which to base the conversions off of.
I'm planning my own Daemon Princess but, with what I have planned I'll need minis that simply don't exist. (Maybe if Jena Orechiel in the Inquisition range was wearing a catsuit, but I'll probably have to repose the Callidus instead. Don't know what I'll do for a face though.)

possible DPs models:

orechiel.
inq. DC assassins
inq. callidas.
c'tan the D. (may work with head swap and small amount of GS)

those 3 are simple base models.
if you want to make it a bit more advanced and sculpt parts then its endless possibilities.

In the fluff sense, there is no real discrimination by gener as a whole in any of the main 40k races, bar individual isolated cultures in each race.

Imperium: "Mass" Specialised troops tend to be single sex (Sisters of Battle, Space Marines) due to either tradition or technelogical limitations, while things like assassins are generally taken as needed or because of a special trait (Being pariah/blank for example) Imperial Guard vary between all male, all female or mixed.

Chaos: Well Slaanesh pretty much disproves ANY kind of sexism within the ranks of Chaos. So long as you're bring Skulls, Hatching Plots, Spreading the Plague or just having copious amounts of Sex, Murder and/or Sexmurder, I highly doubt any of the Major Warp Powers give a toss.

Eldar: Male and Female have different traditional roles (Banshees being predominantly female for example) but overall each follows the path they are most suited for. With their race going down the crapper and their incredibly slow breeding cycle, it doesn't make sense to exclude them at all.

Dark Eldar: Same as Eldar Really. Each gender has their roles, but neither is not expected to go carve up things for She Who Thirsts, He Who Hungers!

Tau: Nope none here, Shadowsun being the obvious example. I am sure we can assume each caste is organised by ability for the Greater Good, rather than reproductive organs.

Orks: Dey Iz all 'ard and stuff! But seriously, Orks are Asexual, so its a Moot Point.

Necrons: Any Semblance of gender was lost looooong ago.

Tyranids: Oh nomnomnom!

absolutely priceless, but i don't see why you couldn't use a Daemon Princess, hell a choas marine wants to feel "pretty" so he changes his sex after praying to his chaos god, the warp makes all possible, though i am male and would never dream of changing sex....but i guess after living for thousands and thousands of years you get curious, maybe? i don't know lol

I just want to correct one point. Tau armies are completely mixed when it comes to gender, so are all castes in every aspect, but in most cases only tau can tell the difference.

yeah, fungus, bioharvesters and robots have about no reason to have gender specification... although, necron pariahs might still have a bit of sex left. but besides that point, daemon princesses are absolutely real. well, as real as they can be when they're born from unreality into reality, but the point is still there

LunaHound madea pretty damn cool Female Sigvald in a post not too long ago, so, yeah, deamon princess.

THAT IS NOT FAIR.

Anyway, my brother faced an army with two Demon Princesses in is, Khorne and Nurgle.
