@ Manchu

If you started a thread, and you wanted your thoughts to be discussed and taken seriously

If someone then came along and derailed your thread based on the fact that they either didn't like the content, or the thread subject.....

....I would defend your thread in the same way!

KK watched Battlestar.

Femarine threads are at least as bad as necromancy. I can't see how that's not the case.

Not my fault, Manchu made me.

I just wanted to fit in.

After being corrected on this score, I've learned to search the forum before posting something. If the past thread doesn't answer my question, then I start a new one. Otherwise, I let the matter drop.

Hey little buddy, don't let anybody make you feel bad for wanting to fit in. Now get back to fitting in!!!

Its not just about Female Marines anymore, though is it.....its about this forum still being a place where people can come and discuss their hobby with like minded individuals....

Not every thread will be interesting to every forum member, that sure as hell doesn't mean its right to come in, belittle the guy, call him a pervert and then proceed to do all in your power to either get the thread locked, or make it so unreadable, that anyone who actually is interested in the content, has to sift through a load of irrelevant ramblings....

If you detest the subject so much, why not just walk on by, you've made it clear you don't like the idea, so why not leave it at that?

I guess the idea of female Space Marines is so bad for you that you want no mention of it on this forum or any other, ever again......ok, thats your call.....I hope you never bring up a subject and its treated the same way!

I.e., I am not interested in personally attacking OP here (who was aware of the inflammatory nature of this topic) or anywhere else. The community expects certain standards from me and I expect those standards from them.

Sorry for the, almost, double post

There were like three posts added while I was typing....my bad.

I think we've both done this to death now, and made our points clear.

I'll let you carry on with your WH40K porn and calender!

Might as well join the fun, my friend, and make this thread worthwhile somehow.

As the person who created the thread, I don't care anymore where this is going. By page two I had gotten everything I wanted from it, and my questions were solved.


Now, I actually wish to see this calendar made, and I can imagine something like it appearing in the room of a pervy Guardsman.

This entire thread is just an excuse to be sexist isnt it

What's wrong with being sexy?

The proof, my dear dakkaites, is in the pudding, is it not? From gak to gold.

I can imagine something like that calendar appearing on BL's Christmas season to-do list.

If I go Chaos, I'll convert some Sisters of Battle into mutated Slaaneshi marines. That would be an interesting conversation piece.

Well as an open minded and experience gamer. ill add to this

- it is possible, that the 2nd Legion, who was known for mutations thus why the emperor demanded they be wiped out, may have had survivors
that in their gene seed, allowed females to be recruited...
- mutated gene seed does allow creation of new marines, like the the soul drinkers novels, they were plangued by mutation and could have created
new marines but chose to cure their mutations rather than created more mutants
- as has been said, turning a human into a space marine is a very selective process, so only very few pass the tests to become marines, much as it would
take more effort out of girls to match the boys levels of fitness it can still be done

the ideal of space marines 'only' being male, came from back when 40K first started, it was 20 staff members, (all male), and given the task of writing up
the fluff for these 20 legions....just 2 of the staff members quit/were fired before they finished

people need to be a bit more flexible and stop the sexist "no female marines' crap

I would love female Marines.

The issue is that people misunderstand how they would look like.

A squad of five female Space Marines would look roughly like this.



Ridiculously massive armour tends to kinda smooth out the gender differences you know, and if it wouldn't, then the steroids, gene manipulation and everything would.

And I agree that it fits better with Chaos.

A 4 year necro...
Impressive.

WHAT? I did not notice the posting date.

>.< I apologise, I should have checked first.

this. people are assuming that a female marine would only be justified for the purpose of making marines with sexual attractive qualities. but ths is why we have siters of battle . JK.
also, n-n-n-necroed!
