A very interesting article...

What cracks me up is everyne saying there can not be female marines yet the whole premise of GW including articles by the WD writers is feel free to create your own fluff. Truthfully if anyone has a problem with someone making female marines then that person better stick to the codexes and make thier armies excactly like the fluff says.No more making ones own chapters.It is very hipocritical to condemn someone for making female marines and then turning around and making your own chapter IMO.Another thing it is a total fantasy game.FYI it is impossible to make male spacemarines also in the real world.

So I know this will probably be a touchy subject, but i found this article and i think it brings up a lot of good points. As a female interested in WH40K, i feel the ideas in this article should be brought to the greater communitie's attention, if they haven't already. So go ahead, give it a read, its not short. I'll wait.

Done? okay, now a poll. If somebody (male or female, dosen't matter) made up a Marine chapter with some female marines in it, (probably developed after the recovery of a STC that allows it or something), how many of you would really object? That is, if the fluff for said chapter was good and 'fit' with the general spirit of WH40K?

People have a tendancy to get too hung up on the fluff and lose sight that it's just a game. I am running a Deathwatch campaign and one of our players wanted to play a female marine. We worked it by saying her chapter was a part of a secret founding based on Blood Angels gene-seed.

I can already see the headlines ... like Who let a Big Mek into this debate ... but hear me out In the far future of the 41'st Millenium there is only war ... well if thats the case the females of a planet wants to wage war as well. There is no point in staying home tending the laundry and the cookpots while daddy goes to war. The females want to make a difference as well and why should they be denied just because GW maybe havent really found a reason to ''think'' women into the ranks of marines and the like. We have Sisters already .... why not some more ....
I dont care if its a female or male marine i toast with my burna .... from where I stand its da enemy
Cheers and keep up the good work miss Kyra

I am a very stubborn person. When I started 40k it was in the 3rd edition all ready and there was nothing saying there wasn't any female space marines. It wasn't till I wrote my fluff and tried to collect the peace's that I was told I could not have female sm. An that's all it took , I spent 2 mouth working it out but in the end I proved it possible. I wrote my proff on this site so all the haters they can suck it.
