Shadow Captain Corveus Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 I love the concept of a female SM captain! :( I was thinking of making a raven guard captain by converting a sister of battle, i was thinking she could have two short power swords as "count as" lightning claws. I know it goes totally aginst the whole space marine fluff and stuff, but i just think it would be unique and also rather epicus maximus! :tu: What does everyone think?

Dhx711 Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Fluff aside I see nothing wrong with someone doing female space marines. I got involved in a heated forum arguement once (different forum) with a norrow minded poster who couldn't concide (again, fluff not withstanding) that's it's ok for somome to field space marines that were female. It ended with me saying something like if his imagination wouldn't allow him to see that than maybe he should not be playing a game like 40k.

Commander Sasha Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Beware, you are entering a minefield! There are some excellent discussion articles in the Librarium on this subject, please read them before posting anything else, to save hat often descends into a flamewar, with no real winners :D (My mixed gender renegade marines, the Broken Hearted, are led by a female, Commander Sasha Eden) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WelshMullet Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 just don't put GIGANTABOOBS on it or pigtails or the like. Just ruins the grim darkness. If you want to know what a female space marine looks like, look at female body builders. Their armour would be no different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurglespuss Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Gah.... we've lost another one... No female marines for me thanks. However, tell me its a female in power armour, and I'm sold! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrible_Trygon Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 To be fair, he just wants a Cannoness leading his Raven Guard. And since the Inquisition commandeers armies to their cause from time to time, it is completely believable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Captain Corveus Posted November 18, 2009 Author Share Posted November 18, 2009 I want a female captain, just because that would be a little unsual, i'm thinking of chopping up a sister of battle and putting her in some custom power armour, To be fair, he just wants a Cannoness leading his Raven Guard Don't we all? If anyone has any ideas as how i should do it i'll take them on: If you want to know what a female space marine looks like, look at female body builders. Their armour would be no different. Dnt want her to look too butch, otherwise i'd just have long haired space wolves type captain who may as well be a guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Sasha Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Commander Sasha standing, with Relic blade & Artificer Armour http://privateerpress.com/files/products/khador/warcasters/kommander-sorscha-variant.png (WIP) Same but with Jump Pack, have ordered some steampunk wings! http://privateerpress.com/files/products/khador/warcasters/forward-kommander-kratikoff.png The armour on this model includes a steampunk style backpack with chimneys, no bigger than a regular marine pack. If anyone argues that the armour is a bit skinny and light, I answer that the Artificer was also a fashion designer with a thing for size 0 models... ;) Both models are from Warmachine, so beware, you can't use them in GW shops ;) http://privateerpress.com/warmachine/galle...ador/warcasters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hendrik Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 well actually smaller armour would make sense actualy, it makes the armour fit like a second skin so=) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrible_Trygon Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Auctually, I think the Warmachine's armour is probably better then what the Sisters have got right now. Back to the subject, Cannonesses technically can lead Space Marine armies, as long as there is a Space Marine HQ too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merkava Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 A female helmeted space marine would look the same as a helmeted male space marine. I mean, frick, you think female parts would honestly show through 6" of ceramite! Look i'll show you. Female Space Marines And I'm of the hardcore canon camp.

Terrible_Trygon Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Female Space Marines would indeed look something like that, considering they would be of similar size and mass as a male marine. There might be a slight difference in size, but the GW standard marine models are so small, the difference is not big enough to consider modelling.

DavidKits Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 this is an interesting project to me as I have personally modelled up a full captain and command squad of female space marines. though i do agree with the previous statement of it would impossible to tell the difference apart of a male or female in power armor as the armor would easily hide it. even in modern military the body armor hides alot of the persons gender from what i have seen. if you want a cheap and easy way to make a female captain hell to make a whole squad for her personal body if you want. do the way some people and myself included to make life easier. get a box set of Wood elf archers. there are a bunch of heads there that look female and with alittle greenstuff in the neck slot them into place and boom ya got yourself a female headed space marine. :) again up to you if you really want to do that. I look forward to seeing how this turns out *bows* have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrible_Trygon Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 I don't get why people keep coming back to Female Space Marines with this thread. I mean let's read his OP post again, shall we? I love the sisters of battle! ^_^ I love the concept of a force entirely made up of women, and their armour and stuff look awesome! :P I was thinking of making a raven guard captain by converting a sister of battle, i was thinking she could have two short power swords as "count as" lightning claws. I know it goes totally aginst the whole space marine fluff and stuff, but i just think it would be unique and also rather epicus maximus! :) What does everyone think? He likes Sisters of Battle and wants one, or something that looks like one, leading his army. Codex Witch Hunters states that any Imperial Army can take 0-1 HQ, 0-1 Elite, 0-2 Troop and 0-1 Fast Attack units from the Witch Hunter list, as long as the Parent army has the minimal force organisation requirements. This means that his army can have a Sister of Battle leading it. No fluff or rule conflict in any way at all. Problem solved. How and where female marines have come into this is beyond me.

Shadow Captain Corveus Posted November 19, 2009 Author Share Posted November 19, 2009 Who's He the cat's mother? I have a couple of ideas now, I'm going to use a space marine chaplain as the main body, i'll steal the twin "power knives" off a death cult assasin, will cut off the sister of battle head and seriously greenstuff the gal up to make her a bit more captainy! Will report back in a month or so... Shopping list: Generic Sister of battle w/o helmet Death cult assassin Space marine chaplain with jump pack Lots of green stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
