He's responding sarcastically to your insult (intended or otherwise) to his painting ability. It's not rocket surgery.

They're creations of Fabius Bile. Surely you aren't saying that Fabius Bile doesn't have the skills and resources to pull off something like that.

They are chaos! I thought they were Imperial unit supported by a forgotten feminist or liberal forgeworld out on the rim. They dont look anything like chaotic enough, or was Fabius Bile experimenting pre-Heresy?

Female marines, best way to describe the concept is that they do not officially exist, and the Imperium as a whole thinks the process either heretical or impossible, but the universe is a big place.

I don't think that there should be so much problems to turn women into Astartes.

I can easily think on a planet full of powerful amazons. From that to a chapter using it as a recruiting base is just one step... Yeah, they would probably be seen as heretic, but it not more weird than eating flesh or drinking blood

As I said, I don't have problems with female Space Marines, but I agree with him. I imagine Fabious Bile doing really different stuff than hot chicks

But there could be a lot of other explanations for them, being the simplest of them (The amazon planet as recruiting base) my favourite.

You can read the fluff in this thread:
http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/213002.page#310401

Basically they are creations of Fabius Bile, inspired by Genestealers. Widows are seeded into a target world where they will hybridize with the local population and breed for several generations. When the world finally comes under attack, the Widows awaken to their purpose and abilities and begin waging war against their former kinsman.
Widows gain access to power armor very slowly over several campaigns, so the army I have built represents a widows army that has been active long enough for everyone to aquire their own suit of power armor.

They don't have spikes because I don't like the look of spikes.

damn if only i could paint this good

wow
