First for no one can give a good reason for no femarines.

>>54209502
Lore says all have died in the attempt. Not that they can't. They just haven't yet.

Do you guys hear the voices too?

>>54209502
>femarines
-1S

>>54209542
Power armor kind of invalidates that.

>>54209502
what a shitty """"""aztec"""""" design

>>54209448 #
Basically any human mini from either range. Guardsmen are probably the common one, neophyte hybrids would work. Or you could use AoS beastmen, kaioric acolytes or marauders

Really just depends on the style you want

>>54209257
>>54209271
I enjoy the idea of procedurally generating interesting missions, but dislike how imbalanced this is. It's very clearly made for open play, and the last two decks (ruses and sudden death) are explicitly made for imbalanced forces. People have already pointed out how silly it is that one player could show up 3 PL shy of the other and get the Ruse that lets them revive a single unit and deepstrike said unit, potentially leading to stupidness like bringing back a Knight or similarly huge unit with value greater than the initial discrepancy. Of course this isn't as much of a problem for super casual games where players don't care about balance, but it means that anyone who DOES care about having a fair and balanced game will get very little use out of these decks. Which is sad, because I'd love something like this actually designed for matched play.

>>54209542
>>54209558
power armor doesn't add S in the wargame. See all the female and male humans with powerarmor and S3 and T3.

It's an issue of being a space marine, which are S4 T4 even outside of power armor. And femarines already exist in Chaos Space Marines.

You want a good reason, the Imperium is tradition bound and doesn't like change. Done.

>>54209586
For matched play just don't use the ruse and sudden death decks, or if you do use them both players get a card.

Randomly draw them and you won't be able to build your list to abuse a particular one.

>>54209558

So they put people through a lengthy, expensive, often fatal course of body augmentation just for shigs?

>>54209642

>Emperor used his DNA to create Primarchs. He's a guy, so they have a Y

>Genetic material with XY is incompatible with genes that have XX

If you want female marines you can still play Slaanesh marines that successfully prayed to Slaanesh for a sex change. Transgenders also get represented in one go. Boom, two birds, one stone.

>>54209502
I can think of one:

GW still haven't released an official line of Guardswomen. Forcing us to grab third party heads that don't have the aquilla helmets.

IG is known to have guardswoman and the Marines do not. Ergo we should get female models first because you won't have to break the lore. Also, because we need new plastic guard sculpts.

>>54209655
Ah, right, carry on.

>>54209673
Or just play Iron Warriors and use the character from Storm of Iron who is a female ex-guardsmen who was taken as a slave then possessed by the daemon in her CSM captures armor, kills him takes is place and everyone assumes the CSM was just blessed by Khorne because he kills much better now and wastes less time being a whiny ass.

>>54209683
They don't need to make femarine models, personally I'd settle for lifting the ban in lore and giving me a few art pieces to base some conversion projects on.

>>54209673

Emperor is just a warp construct that was able to manifest in realspace kinda like a C'tan.

I'll get yelled at to read the book, but I have, and it's not super clear to me how detatchments are meant to work. Is there a minimum ammount of troops necessary? Could I just use a bunch of vanguard detatchments for my army and not need troops, or is it that points and objectives balance out that plan?

>>54209502

The Emperor of Man made his children men. That's basically it. You can absolutely have female space maines sure, but it would have to make sense in the lore and it kind of wouldn't as space marines were sort of defined by the Emperor, but I wouldnt mind someone proving me wrong. Just no boob armor. You want to be a space marine? You wear the suit.

>>54209738
>those pixels
Satan is very pleased

>>54209724
As long as we get them first. If you write your ass into a corner in the 80s, at least have the decency to update the faction actually known for inclusivity before retconning you're lore. Especially if the sculpts for that faction are overdue for an update.

And yes Sisters Players I know you've been waiting and deserve plastic models. I sympathize.

>>54209735
Nope, Sisters of Silence can see him just fine. And he just looks like a regular man to them.

>>54209724
lore ban is going to stand.
This is not the hill to die on.

Imperium is actually pretty non-sexist (not counting lack of sculpt options). Outside of Space Marines all the other positions are explicitely said to be open to and at times held by women.
There are female magos, lords of terra, Inquisitor Lords, Generals, Admirals, Judges, Planet/sector Governors, etc.

You want a cool female warriors in power armor, you have that option. And I don't just mean sisters of battle, make a damn inquisitor.

>>54209683

I'd be happy if they made a IG regiment that wasn't a blatant rip-off of historical army X from 19th and 20th century europe/america.

Granted you obviously can't do a weeb IG regiment because the Tauwank would be off the charts but you could do some futuristic 80s inspired regiment or some primitive medieval or ancient army.

>>54209683
>>54209775
I actually want femarines, but basically this. New guard plastics with female models included are a much higher priority.

And new SoB models are an even higher priority, but let's be honest, femarines are more likely.

>>54209805
Sisters of Battle are as much a sexist faction as space marines, yet somehow you never hear anybody about them ...

>>54209778

If the Emperor is basically a warp creature now how can they come anywhere near him without him dying? It's not like the Golden Throne is the only aspect to his being sorta-alive he's also staying alive by sheer force of will and psyker juice.

>>54209820
Probably because they've been barely acknowledged by GW for nearly 20 years.

>>54209820

Girls become Space Nuns, Guys become Commisars

>>54209640
Absolute cheapest is cadian or chaos cultist snap fit 5 packs for $10.

Chaos marauders are little cheaper but don't have guns in the kit, so depends how into WYSIWYG you are.

>>54209820
Because they've been all but squatted at this point.

Two things that keep coming up in our games. First one is whether you roll or choose deployment map/type. Every mission says "determine", which my opponent argues means select/pick the deployment map/type. Second is whether a model with more than one attack and a chainsword, or weapon with the same rules as a chainsword, gets the additional attack with the chainsword even though they use another weapon with all their attacks. Since the rule just says "make an additional attack with this weapon each time it fights" it doesn't specify they have to use at least one of their attacks with the chainsword.

>>54209850
Well so are marines soon, no difference there. Nothing but primarines from now on.

>>54209840
female commisars explicitly exist, and have been shown in art.

>>54209852
they have to use the chainsword to gain additional attacks.
Deployment type is up to preference, you can either roll a D6 for roll a D2 and let the winner pick. Alternatively just agree on one beforehand for the mission/game type

each detachment requires you to take a certain amount and type of units, and allows you to take a number of further options. you are limited by points/power in addition to detachment slots

vanguard for example requires one hq and 3 elites, and allows you to take some more selections as part of that detachment. you still have to pay points or power for whatever choices you do take.

I have a question.
Has there ever been a map displaying the factions on Terra during the unification wars? If not, is there anywhere I can get a general guideline of it, or some kind of run down of sorts?

>>54209683
If you want femguard steel legion, death korp, tempestus scions and vostyroans are mostly androgynous minis. Cadians and elysians too depending on helm choices

>>54209866
Fair enough.

>>54209889

Narrative/Open... in the words of a Mets parking lot attendant- "do whatever you want, no one gives a fuck"

>>54209852
chainswords require the bonus attack be made with the chainsword. you can make your other attacks with any cc weapon you want. this was clarified in one of the faqs where it talks about units with 2 chainswords

>>54209871

I know that but early on that was one of the psuedo reasons to explain why the various schola programs are so obviously not gender balanced.

Hell the only Imperial faction other than SoB/SoS that isn't a sausage fest is the Inquistion and the Adeptus Mechanicus.

Oh and the Escher Necromunda gang.

Women aren't warriors.

>>54209898

Short answer: nope

Long answer: like most events pre-GC and between m32-m41, GW+FW fill in the blanks when they make up a story. Most details about the Unification Wars can be found in the Forgeworld Horus Heresy black books.

Do you still have to roll for Warlord traits for regular games (matched play now i guess) cause it adds a little sentence at the end that says you can choose to roll or just choose one. Same goes for psychic powers now that I think about it. Do you roll or is it more an optional thing?

>>54209974
TELL THAT TO ALL THE PROUD WOMYN SERVING IN OUR ARMED SERVICES
jk 90% of them at just cock sleeves

>>54210001
Optional. WAACfags take the best shit and non-WAACfags just roll. It's not too much of a problem, anyway. Chapter Masters get all three powers anyway.

>>54209907

>no cute Female Mordian Iron Guard models

Hell they could easily do a Vasquez inspired Heavy Bolter Catachan special character and people would be it just for the thrill of using her in a guard vs genestealer cult army scenario.

that's just in models now.
Admech is all mixed, you just can't see and most people don't care.
Guard and Associated are more male than female, but all female regiments and mixed regiments exist.

Astropaths and sanctioned psykers are not decided based on gender at all.

This is the fluff now. The only parts of the Imperium that are based on gender are SoB/SM and SoS/Culexus (nulls are sent to one or the other based on gender). That's it. They've ben pretty damn consistent on this fluff for a while now, and GW is not often consistent on fluff. Sculpts are just way way.

>>54209977
So we don't know where the Emperor began his war on Terra, or where the factions were located on Terra, or even how long the war took to fully unite the planet?

>>54210001
Bro it's pure AoS now. Just pick. Rolling never made any fucking sense anyway.
Here is the awesome background for my character... who apparently has multiple personality disorder. Or my mighty psyker... who randomly knows different spells every other battle.

Space Marines are people injected with the Emperor's DNA, in a male its fine because you got XY Chromosomes, in women you have XX chromosomes, it wouldn't fit meaning that some of the genetic alteration wouldn't work.

>Unless you want Autismo-Female Marines, Or genetically modify them to be XY... Also known as males.

>>54210071
Specifically injected with Primarch "Geneseed" (DNA) and the Primarchs are clones of the Emperor, meaning that it would be his DNA by Extension; for clarification

>>54209813

I think a female-heavy imperial guard regiment, as well as a few female sculpts of regiments known to field female soldiers (Catachans, Cadians if they're not all dead) would be a great addition. And I'm firmly in the "no female space marines, not ever" camp.

>>54210045
and while we're at it, lets go through all the fucking xenos too.

You've got Mono/nullgendered.
Necron. Orks. Nids.

Gender isn't a bases for membership in a group.
Delder, Harlequins, Tau.

Has gender based groups, but that's based on the assumed gender from joining the group because of the weird way their psychology/path system works.
CW eldar.

40k is as non-sexist as most sci-fi universes. It's just that the models aren't always up to date on this.

Okay then, that makes a sort of sense then. So long as all the Warlord/Psychic powers stay in the mediocre territory and not auto-include territory than being allowed to choose won't be a disaster.

>>54210114
so the fluff, which is old but still cool and not reconned, only talked about Banshees but applies to all.

The question was "are their male howling banshees?". Answer: No. There are male eldar who decide to walk the path of the howling banshee aspect warrior, but when you put on the mask your personality is surpressed under the aspect you take on. The Banshee is a female aspect based off a female Phoenix Lord.

The other aspect had male founders.

>>54210127

>What is Slaanesh

>>54210155
>Eldar literally have a "Path of the Trap"
Somehow I am not suprised.

>>54209502
The answer used to be that it went against their themes as ancient warrior-monk supersoldiers for a regressive fascist regime. But since GW doesn't care about the lore, it's just because they don't want to produce female heads for guard or Marines.

>>54210170

That would explain how they all died like bitches to the Primaris Marines in Dark Imperium

>>54210146

It is though

It's a pure meritocracy.

>>54210170
With them, not a.

>>54210209
I thought it was mostly a sentient suit of power armour that thought having sex means the woman goes inside you, instead of the other way around.

>>54210087
Agreed, really it needs to be is the eventual new guardsmen kit to include a handful of feminine torsos and heads. Much like the eldar plastics.


And yeah leave marines all male, they're space warrior monks to the sister of battle space warrior nuns. Its thematic and doesn't need changing.

I might be thick but say I have a drop pod with a 5-man squad, and three characters in it. Does this count as only having one unit in reserves for the matched play rules, or would it count as five?

In the case of the latter, this would mean I'd need to bring five other units to counter balance it, yes?

>I might be thick

Got some paint jobs on your mind I see.

>>54210248
well full on Phoenix Lords are just reincarnations basically, their Souls are so powerful the new wearer of the armor is basically dead.
And like I said, it's tiny bit of old fluff and only mentioned Banshees. It might fit a few other aspects, and Asurman might be so universal he doesn't define it as much.

But female Chaos Space Marines aren't a thing. It's cases where a daemon has used a woman as a host or whatever. There is no female human who is turned into a female Space Marine by loyalists or Chaos. There is daemons who mount women and use them as transport.

here, I also don't want loyalist female SM, but trying to use science as the backing is weaker for me than "the Imperium doesn't like to change things, especially things with long traditions" is stronger.
Maybe a new method could be developed to make female space Marines, but no ones going to develop that. The Primaris Marines are seen as heresy by quite a few people, and that came directly from a Primarch.

Femme marines and soldiers sort of betray the fascistic/ gothic/ Faustian aesthetic the Imperium has going on. They would seem out of place. Nigs too.

What was the name of this meme OC that /tg/ made? It was pretty cool desu. Made me sad Lizardmen aren't cool Aztecs any more.

If you want fem-Marines and want to respect the "canon" you can just blame Cawl being wacky.

Make some of the new Primaris marines female (maybe as a way to stabilize the geneseed). GW won't make femMarines because they target 10 year old boys with their Marine line but CAWL and Guiliman are a great excuse to fuck with the lore.

>>54210325

As a geneticist, I could come up with half a dozen reasonable-sounding explanations for why the process might not work on female subjects. But since it's fantasy anyway, it'd be hard to justify that in a way that also justifies the lack of a workaround.

My personal explanation has more to do with the psychic resonance to the act; not only are Astartes genetically connected to their Primarch and the Emperor, but psychically as well. Like in the Jungian collective consciousness sense. And it doesn't work with female subjects because the Emperor is the personification of male temporal and spiritual energy; like the Emperor and High Priest combined in one entity (to use Tarot symbolism).

The entity that could create the female equivalent of Astartes doesn't exist in the setting; the Ishtar (or Astarte-like) Queen of Love and War has not appeared.

>>54210402
Salamanders aren't black. Jonah Orion I don't understand either. Space Marines are both black and white and will change depending on the planet they're on. Yet this is never remembered by people who do visuals or write about them.

I'd still loot that.

>>54210444
No Salamanders turn black because of the heavy radiation on Nocture, and it's an irreversible process. Once a marine goes black, he never goes back.

>>54210490
> white models
What? Models are grey dipshit.

So after the world engine there are only 30 Astral Knights, lead by their dreadnought (what type of dread was thade?). Does anyone know what type of Marines were part of that last 30 and whether they contained any vehicles/flyers afterwards? I'd like to start a fluffy Astral knights list with a dread as HQ and 30 marines for small games and as an allied army to my Elysians for fun. Any information would appreciated.

>>54210433
>As a geneticist, I could come up with half a dozen reasonable-sounding explanations for why the process might not work on female subjects.

As an biomedical engineering undergraduate, I could come up with far more for why it should, since men and women aren't different species and the chief differences outside of primary sexual characteristic are hormonal not genetic.

>>54210453
But I'm not looking for null deployment. I'm just looking to put some vanguard and characters in a pod.

Astral Claws fluff says heavy firepower and lightning assaults. Figured I'd back up the armor with Huron and some other named dudes in a pod with vanguard...

Had to have been a better way for them to handle drop pod shitters.

Blood Jaguars were a /tg/-made Blood Angels/Flesh Tearers-derived chapter with an Aztec theme. You can find the original thread that created them on the suptg archive; they also have a good relationship with an order of Sororitas based on their world, who I assume that pic represents.

>>54210510
I am just some guy and can give you one reason why it wouldn't work. Because it was written so. Its a fantasy story guys get over it. If they want to change it they can because its their story. Using real world logic on a 100% fantasy story is just down right silly.

>>54210490
Want to know the actual reason? Doing black skin is incredibly difficult on 28mm models. You lose the detail. GW has only just started doing it recently and it's only because they have Duncan in charge of painting it can even be attempted. Nothing to do with 'race' but simple fact that it's more effort to do black skin.

>>54210493
True, I guess. Funny how the entire thing is a really easy deus ex machina to find the McGuffin but it's never used. Acid is spat a fair few times though.

>>54210499
It's a genetic problem. Just like any Sanguinius geneseed guy has sharp fangs and is stupidly pretty and bishie. Or any Space Wolf guy is hairy, boisterous and has enlarged canines. Or Dark Angels are homosexual and emo. Also they're coal/obsidian black rather than what is referred to as 'black' in the RL sense. Plus they don't have the 'black features', big lips, big noses etc.

>>54210518
maybe you don't fill a drop pod full of characters then.

If a half-eldar can become a Space Marine I see no reason girls can't get roided out by GENESEED.

Considering Marines out of armor look freakish unhuman I'm not sure why people think that a 8ft tall female Marine would somehow look like She-Hulk or Wonder Woman instead of being barely distinguishable from a male marine due to all the totally not Roids fucking up their body.

Ever notice how all the CSMfags that used to demand they should get drop pods too all of a sudden are all quiet now that drop pods are shit?

>>54210510

I'm the geneticist anon from up top; the biggest one is that there's genes that exist on the Y chromosome that just don't have analogs on the X. If part of the process involved expressing those genes, upregulating or downregulating them, in various tissues, then it wouldn't really work on female subjects. There's other stuff I could go into too, but that's the easiest way to explain it.

>>54210534
Aye that's it. Thanks. I have a fetish for Aztec/Mayan tier stuff. Underused setting. It's why I love Lizardmen/Seraphon and am sad there is no info on if they even have temple cities any more.

>>54210509
As far as I've seen its never been specified. Its probably mostly tacticals. But I'd feel free to do it how you feel best.

As far as vehicles go, they likely have some spares or would have relatively easy access to replacements.

>>54209502

No one's ever given a good reason to include them to begin with.

>>54210518
>I want to drop 600 points of characters into my opponents deployment with a Plasma squad

>>54210558
Half-eldar don't exist and therefore cannot become space marines. Also something about false equivalency.

That was easy.

So what are the chance Intercessors get a power bump with the supposed errata coming soon?

It seems like it would relatively easy for them to modify the stat-line on the Bolt Rifle and suddenly Intercessors are no longer mediocre.

You come here on purpose, ready to devote actual time to post here and read things.

I mean, look at the company we keep here. Would you honestly waste actual quality time here?

>>54210609
I wouldn't expect changes to their statlines, but I could see them adjusting point costs or wargear options.

I'm not sure I'd change the bolt rifle, personally. Seems about right.

>>54210616
People will buy them is a reason though. It's a very good reason to release plastic SoB.

GW just hasn't yet, because... they need to sell all the old models or something? I don't know.>>54210622

>>54210623
What, half-eldar half-tyranid hybrids? Half-eldar half-ork hybrids? I didn't know those could becomes Space Marines and that this argument would invalidate the point that you must be male in order to accept gene seed.

Doesn't matter if it's RT silliness at one point half-eldar Ultrasmurfs were canon.

>>54210563
Well yeah, in 7th they were one of the most units in the game

30 pts for a scoring AV12 vehicle with 3hp that was never threatening enough to dedicate AT weapons to which you had to with AV12.

They needed to be 1hp AV10

But 7th is dead, long live 8th

>>54210549

Part of the issue is, though, humans evolved to have different skin tones as being *too* dark is bad, but not being dark enough for the sunlight you're exposed to is also bad. The reason being too dark is bad is it prevents your body from manufacturing vitamin D, which is a chemical your body needs to function properly in a number of ways.

For Astartes, though, they can be assumed to either have access to enough proper nutrition to get enough vitamin D, or have an entirely different process of manufacture engineered into them. So the better question is - why is any Astartes any color other than coal black? It would just be advantageous in that circumstance.

My personal resolution of the issue is that 1. There's enough ambient UV radiation on Nocturne that the local population was either engineered or naturally evolved over thousands of years to have skin comparable to present-day earth Nilotic peoples and 2. The Salamanders' ability to regulate their skin pigmentation is damaged and so they become irreversibly darker as pigment builds up in their skin (as well as red pigmentation being deposited in their sclera).

>>54210636
>spiraling enable them.
Yeah we all should just sit and welcome refugees from lowest classes of community

>>54210662
1hp Av10 would've made them die to a light breeze you faggot.

>>54210647
Oh I don't give a fuck about fem Space Marines. I was simply pointing out that it is canon, according to GW, that Commorragh is full of Eldar hybrids. Science or not is kinda irrelevant.

Remember, GW literally made it canon that Lucius the Eternal got to live in an all female Wych cult for months and provided 'endless entertainment' whilst Fabulous Bill learnt to skin shit together better from the DE.

>>54210662

Just got home and all I've had to eat today was leftover sandwich and gin

>>54210660
Oh yeah, back in RT when there were literally only 3 factions and back when Malal was still a thing. This is totally reliable canon right here folks. Definitely explains female space marines.

>>54210660
Back then the entire original Ultramarines chapter went traitor, was eradicated, and was replaced with a new chapter.

I like to imagine that is still cannon.

>>54210263
that sculpt is older then you

>>54210685
Good. What other fucking purpose did they have after they dropped off a unit? That Storm Bolter definetly made the difference

They allowed you to control the board and create a foothold. They didn't have any killing power, which is why they were so cheap. They were perfectly fine before GW ruined them.

It really doesn't.

>>54210689
Hey, Malal is still a thing. Ever read the Crowe novel about how he became keeper of the blade? There is a super ultra powerful daemon in the blade which text description is very very similar to the Malal drawing we all know. Now it could have been just a nod and a wink. Or it could have been a nod and a wink it's Malal and or a Daemon of Malal.

Remember there is ALSO a powerful thing hidden under Titan which is so powerful even the GK's could not hope to defeat it. Furthermore, an incredibly powerful warp presence, more powerful than anything ever entered real space before, possessed one of the Black Stone Fortresses.

>>54210689
>Oh yeah, back in RT when there were literally only 3 factions and back when Malal was still a thing. This is totally reliable canon right here folks. Definitely explains female space marines.
back in the original RT book, there was no chaos. warp yes with enslavers. but no khorne, no tzeentch no nurgle and no slaanesh.

That picture is a SoB not a fem Marine. The question is shit though.

>>54210722
If they didn't perma range ban Carnac they won't for this. Speaking of which, where is he these days?

>>54210685
As they should have been drop pods are for bringing a unit onto the battlefield via deep strike who normally couldn't.
Instead they became a free, durable, objective secured, impassable road block that would take far too much anti-tank fire to kill, while also being immune to light arms fire, and it was a transport that could allow short ranged shooting units a guaranteed opportunity to shoot a priority target.

>>54210734
There's even an entire short story about some renegade marines who worship Malal released during 5th or 6th edition.

The name was changed to Malice though.

I have so many questions about the future of chapters now that primaris are a thing. Like, are scouts still a thing? Will being an initiate still be part of the process or will all marines walk from their implantation fully grown? Are new standard marines even being made? Are the current scout companies the last of their kind?

The way the primaris Captain Felix talked about it in Dark Imperium, it seemed likely that the production of regular marines was at an end and that Guilliman doesn't care who knows it - he just does what needs to be done without regard to how the old guard feel about being replaced.

>>54210628
>>54210643

If you compare master crafter bolt-gun and bolt-rifles to the standard weapons the Bolt-rifle should've been

24" Assault 2 S 4 AP 0 D1

So either they fucked up with Master-crafted bolt-rifle or the regular bolt-rifle or most likely both

>>54210750

Yep, I asked about Be'lakor and why the fuck this special snowflake of a daemon prince was so special and he went into this whole autismfest and went maximum spergo.
Also the thing is that he's trying to justify Be'lacuck being better than a Daemon Primarch like Magnus. So he's literally trying to compare 8 wounds to 18.

>>54210734
>>54210760

IIRC there is all sorts of copyright issues with Malal which is part of the reason he got squatted.

That and a lot of his lore is wacky as fuck. Like Starchild wacky

>>54210790
What? Why? The master crafted assault boltgun is just a faster-firing boltgun with sexier bullets.

The bolt rifle is like a... rifle. Compared to a submachine gun you might compare the bolter to in purpose. Its projectiles travel further and at higher velocity with greater penetration.

>>54210834
Seeing as Carnac doesn't play 40k the game and doesn't use crunch as any measure of anything, I doubt it was him.

>>54210842
He got renamed Malice and still exists. Be'lakor basically became Anti-Chaos Chaos.

>>54210857
Nah I'm the one who brought woundcount and ingame stats up. He skipped ahead to "it doesn't count because i don't like it".

That's why I said relatively. The Warlord Trait is a major boost.

>>54210930

Like I said, you can sort of see what the fuck they were thinking with Bolt-Gun vs MC Bolt-gun but Bolt-Rifle vs MC Bolt-Rifle is full WTF.

>>54210953

Catachans really only vaguely work if you assume that like the Krieg they have something like cloning and then communal creches

A death world being able to spit out Catachan regiments at the rate the Catachan do doesn't make any sense otherwise regardless of how Rambo they are.

Because the same era of fluff that allowed a half-eldar to become a space marine also specified that geneseed only works with male tissues types, and it is so poorly understood there is no chance of every changing that.

On the other hand, there is literally nothing wrong with roiding out a girl through other invasive psycho-surgery, cybernetic, and gene-modifying means in the old fluff or new.

A classic example, but a Callidus assassin is the poster child of a female, genetically modified superhuman comparable to (or greater than) a marine.

If you go back to the 2e stat-lines Callidus were vastly superior to Marines. Even some of the Space Yiff Special characters struggled to go toe-to-toe with a Callidus.

>>54209617
Wonder how many women died in the sac of Rome?
Wars being fought with the vast majority of victims being male is a recent phenomenon relative to the amount of time humans have been fighting each other. Arguably it's swinging back too , most conflicts today are civil wars or insurgent wars which inflict high causalities on non-combatants.

>>54211064
Pretty sure people are fine with women serving in combat just not mixed groups because you have to go as fast as your slowest member. 9 men and 1 woman is also a real fucking clusterfuck when you need to take a piss and she doesn't want dudes watching her do it. Or when she's crippled with period pain. All female groups, like Norway has? That's fine. If they're on their period they're all synced up so it means they're all out most likely. They're not going to be massively different in speed and strength so that's fine. They all can work and piss and shit together. It's fine.

The process for making marines only works on humans (as in homo sapien sapiens) born with XY, nothing more, nothing less. No trans-genetic shit, no XXY, no XYY, only naturally occuring XY.
The only group which has naturally occurring XY in humans is human males.

There is one thing I don't really get about Callidus. So they have this drug that allows them to morph into an basically perfect copy of the vast majority of humanoid shapes ... yet they don't put their tits away in combat form. They serve no purpose, so why not have them out of the way untill you need them again ?

>>54211106

Why shouldn't genestealers have tits?

>>54211121
You know why.

>>54211121
Because they needed a default appearance and most Callidus drop their form when they kill their target because they want them to feel fear knowing they're fucked? I dunno mate.

>>54211121
The explanation is probably that they have to completely deactivate their polymorphine in order to fight. So it wouldn't be able to remove their tits either.

It really just depends. Xenology, if you consider it canon, specifies how otherworldly eldar are on the inside compared to the similar outward appearance. We're talking strange organs, crystal shits, and most important to the topic: triple-helix DNA that requires multiple times of insemination through early development. The last makes it clear a human would never be compatible.

Of course, the last also invalidates basically every other source of eldar pregnancy in the entire history of 40k, so whatever.

And on a side matter, everyone remembers the classic Ultramrine half-eldar, but rarely do people recall that one of the prominent Necromunda characters was the forced-love child of an eldar raider/corsair/deldar and a human woman.

You obviously have never been in one of the White Wolf generals if thats the most 'reddit' thing you've seen. Exalted general was throwing around 'problematic' with 100% legitimacy before it "vanished"

Anyway the point is that statement is so fucking bullshit false I have no response but to sing a bad rendition of a really great song /mu/ can't appreciate because their heads are so far up their own assess they can ALMOST compete with the anon who suggested men being the primary victims in armed conflict is 'recent'. There is a reason that the slaughtering of civilians, particularly women and children, is a particularly heinous and notable crime that gets special attention when it occurs throughout history. It is UNUSUAL and regarded as EXTREME. Slaughtering the men old enough to fight? Pragmatism.

>>54211181
Also pretty sure there is a HH novel of humans and Exodite Eldar living in harmony with each other and two Primarchs arrive to kill them all for being WRONG. Pretty sure they mentioned there were EldarxHuman families there. Whether that means male + female human had kids and lived in a house that had male+female eldar and kids. Or humans and eldar were interbreeding. I think it was purposefully left for interpretation.

>>54211205
Yes, the guy was mental.

>>54211121
Many prefer their original base forms.

Callidus assassins embody the peak aesthetic of the female form. You don't take tits from that, you ultra pleb.

Tits.

Hair serves no combat purpose and is to even greater detriment, yet you don't give a damn about that, you salt-cunted hypocritic.

I thought Callidus had poison needles or some shit in her hair? Or it was describe as potentially in there.

>>54211274
>>54211243
A Callidus has never - and more importantly cannot ever - have "hair blades" a la Lelith because said blades do not shapeshift with her, leaving behind a very obvious and stupid flaw in her disguise along with being entirely unavailable when she shifts back to murder-rape form.

So I looked into it a bit more. The exact description is

>Worn as a long blade attached to the forearm, this weapon is able to phase in and out of realspace by molecular realignment, bypassing not only physical armour but also its metaphysical equivalents.
in the most recent sources.

However, in fluff both old and new, Callys do often remove them when disguised. Beside the grot one, another example is "Le Kard," who was captured and thrown into an airtight cell. When they opened the cell to execute "him," the Callidus - back to base - explodes out on a murder spree entirely unarmed, presumably unable to retrieve her blade.

The 7E codex mentions it again, but 3E gives the best recount of that tale. I miss transcription fluff.

>>54211553
Nah not really, there are some hot ones but most are just average.

>>54210170
Yes, that has been a thing in recent BL publications. In case you couldn't figure it out by now each book has a quota to meet of exactly 1 strong independent female character, and when it comes to stories centering entirely around Space Marines, they often get added in normal positions like Inquisitors, Guardsmen, or other Imperial Agents, while in the case of Chaos Space Marines, since they don't have any of that, you'll find them getting shoehorned in as special snowflake characters. Like in the recent Fabius Bile book, there was this random female Emperor's Children who wasn't a Space Marine, but just a really enhanced human with daemonic mutations.

>>54211755
>blaze a glorious path forward in conquest

They're supposed to be the rising power, just like how humanity eventually edged out the eldar.

But just like how the eldar sky fucked the humans by creating the eye of terror. Humanity sky fucked the tau by tearing the entire galaxy apart.

To their credit the tau empire hasn't collapsed in on itself and began a several thousand year dark age of horribleness, unlike the humans at that time.
Then again the golden age humans may have had an intergalactic empire so that's not on the same scale, for all we know just the milky way shat itself and the rest of human space is fine and they avoid the galactic ghetto.

Hey look it's another marxist doing desperate historical revisionism

>>54211608
Objectively false.

Daemons existed as "warp beasts" in the Rogue Trader rulebook, as obviously did the Warp itself, while "Chaos" as we know it was added to Rogue Trader through the 7 or so supplementary books released for it before 2E.

In other words, both chaos and the warp existed in Rogue Trader.

>>54211767
Close. Initially, distinguished Army (of the Imperium) officers could be allowed to "found" new chapters of space marines. As in, regular humans founding marine chapters. Leman Russ and "Lionel Johnson" are two such mentioned founders.

"Primarchs," including the use of that word and its meaning as we understand it, were added to RT through the later supplements, along with Chaos.

Any chance of Looted Wagons or some sort of Looted rules coming back in the codex? I've always wanted to do the simple Russ/Battlewagon kitbash, but they're not exactly the right size to be Battlewagons.

If I get a tantalus for my DE, am I "that guy"?

Equating autogynophylia with wanting to have some female minis in your TT game is not particularly good bait.

Play one of the fag factions like elves or honest elves. Or space kangz.
You can't tell a tau from another so some might be female I guess.
