I went back to the drawing board one last time for you guys.  It took me all day, but this is what I came up with:

Here's a shot so that you can see her in scale with a regular Valkyrie and the other prototype:

Let me know what you think.

My sincere thanks to everyone who has been following my Female Space Marine Project and posted their thoughts. 
The Terminators have been a sticky part of the project for me.  I've tried seveal ways of making female terminator armor, including sculpting my own, which I had promised myself I wasn't going to try anymore, but I did anyway, and it turned out just as bad as the last time I tried.  What can I say, my GS-Fu  is weak.

Anyway, so I've gone a different route for the terminators, using robots instead of female space marines in terminator armor.  You old timers will remember Imperial Robots from the RT days.  They came in all shapes and sizes, but my favorite was the one that had a profile like a werewolf, so that was the look I went for.
So, this is a robot that has the same stats and weapons as a terminator.  To keep the fluff more in line with current thinking, my inclination at the moment is for these to be controlled, not by an A.I., but by the brain of a fallen warrior, like the way a dreadnaught works.  Since Terminator Armor is also known as Tactical Dreadnaught Armor, that blending of the two works well for me.

But I know what you really want to see is the pictures, so here they are:

I'm pretty happy with the result.  My main question is, at this point, whether or not I want to replace his storm bolter with an energy-weapon equivilent.

Let me know what you think about the prototype. 

my only suggestion is to rework the hooves.
But i like it really.Sort of looks like a mini titan

Add a spike at the back and make em high heels. Arf.

Seconded.

That's pretty cool, but the top of the arms need to be modified a bit. Right now they look too much like shoulderpadless termie arms- you need to hide there origins a bit I'd chop off the nubs at the top and add robotic looking shoulders that have a nice ball and socket look to them.

3rd-ed

that would be hilarious.

But no really.Do something with the feat.Add maybe half of the 'step' part of a Sentinel (like chicken feet).

For the shoulders,guitar wire?

Why not just use regular terminator armor? There's no way anyone's
breasts are going to stick out of that carapace so who's to know? Just
have one or two character models with a female head and suddenly
you've got Sigourney Weaver in Aliens.

Hotness.

Though the robot does look fierce.

hey, I have a few of those Epic plastic robot torsoes too, nice to see someone using them for a conversion. If you still have the rest of them, how about also using their 'loincloths' to cover the rather obviously Tau look of your conversion's crotch, if you see wot i mean. And if you're sticking with the 'female' motif, the high heels idea is cute and will also make them look less Tau - but I'd make them 'combat spike heels', literally goring some poor defeated enemy underfoot

Yah, I'd practice some GS-FU on those feet too, maybe if you could make the footprint look a bit more like a dreadnaught or sentinal foot that would work

How about an insignia on one of the shoulder pads? That might break it up a bit and make the arms look more finished.

looks nice, but I what body is this?

Make them higher and maybe turn the pads around.
Like so they are wider.
right now they still look like girl in power armor.
Why not try with a grey knight,minus the head and with the Tau backpacks?

I prefer the robot version
