But apart from that, true.

That's hardly sexism...
At least not on the part of the IoM...

The IoM is by far, the least sexist of all factions in Warhammer 40k. Everyone is a number waiting to get chewed up in the meat grinder!

Indeed!

No no, iom not sexist for that, im just sayin that that it aint neutral as its pretty much :

girls: SOB
boys: SM, the much more powerful faction.

Still not sexism on the IoM's part...

Never said it was..

The Sisters of Battle are far far far fewer in number than the Space Marines.

Just ask any of Dakka's resident SoB nutcases !

Indeed...

back to the original question, it is entirely reasonable to have a female general commissar, or indeed guardsman of any rank.

^that^

But to be fair, if you don't like it, don't buy it, and someone, somewhere probably DOES like it because after all 40k is a game not real life.

I never thought I would ever see an more Indepth analysis, of a model to look like that.

I congratulate you sir!

You now bear an enourmous burden.

Bear it with honour...

and epic win.

I shall wear my badge of +1 internet with pride

the question's been answered, so I don't think this thread needs to go on any more.

Indeed! The reason I wanted a Female Lord General is so I can make is as a Humanized Luna for my "Luna's Legion". Just wanted to know if they were fluffy!

Not certain how long they've been around, certainly not since the Imperial Army.... not because they couldn't be, but simply because the preponderance of IA/IG units are male-only or very heavily male-dominated, the field of potential candidates for Lord Generalship is skewed very heavily towards male soldiers. That said, as the rank of Lord General is the highest rank available within the General Staff of the Imperial Guard, there's often not that many positions open at any given time (Lord General is not the same thing as Lord General Militant, who is the ultimate IG authority within a given sector of the Imperium), so while there may be some female Lord Generals, we've not been provided with their names in most of the fluff, apart from Jenit Sulla who is, indeed, the first recorded female Lord General. By the same token, we're not provided with the names of most of the male Lord Generals, either.

Incidentally, a Lord General is the same rank as the Lord Castellan of Cadia, Ursarkar Creed
