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

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

3) Eldar Units

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.

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.

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!
