hendrik Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 no, or atleast, not the way i envision female astartes. some people prefer to think of them as large breasted (in some cases even ridiculously-i mean; i've seen female astartes models who almost head 3 head judging by the size of their chest!) take a look at modern females in military service, like here: http://i.usatoday.net/news/_photos/2012/05...KL2-x-large.jpg they sure as hell don't look that different from any male counterpart in the military i'd say. the bestn start imo would be our standard power armour and maybe slightly bulk out the chest part. put on a suitable head and voila! a think most people seem to want is to have a pretty/cute face female space marine. that's not what i think they should look like should the fluff actually allow the creation of female astartes. remember these are genetically altered superhumans,whose bonestructure and muscles have changed to a point where they are no longer 'human'. a good reference is the comparison between one of the cadian head (who will represent our average human face) and one of those bald rhino drivers heads (who will represent the average astartes face). see how different they are in several features? I'd suspect the same differences for any female astartes Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/253282-aurea-lupi/page/3/#findComment-3123594 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forté Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 it kind of depends what route you want to take, do you want her to be a female astartes? in some environments and fluffwise this is generally not done/some might even say impossible. do you want her to be a kaerl officer in the fang that displays latent psychic powers?If it's female astartes your after do a search for female marines here on the B&C, there have been quite a lot of them in time. if it's the other I can't really help, but skadi/mav made some female shieldmaidens, perhaps that's something to look into I want to do an astartes,do you think a Eldar or DE female body would work? Personally, I think the only way you'll know its a female astartes is by the voice and when they take their helm off. Eldar and DE armour is thinner and closer fitting. Astartes plate is more of a One size adapts to all unless you are truely special. At which point it'll get embellished. Think of current female soldiers. Not wanting to be treated any differently to their male counterparts. Just my thoughts on it.

As Forte and Hendrik pointed out, a female astartes isn't going to show signs of being a female unless they don't have their armour on and even then their body would be so toned and distorted that it wouldn't be clear what gender their was anyway. WARNING! Disturbing Picture <--- that is a female bodybuilder. If you are looking for a pretty little warrior, best bet is to make a gene-breed human females and then shove them in power armour. ie sisters of battle shave off the "I" icons, replace the heads and the shoulder pads, possible the backpacks too and you are good to go. When you do that, if you feel like calling them astartes then it's your model, you can do as you please.

hendrik Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 why not go the easy way and get a female psychic inquisitor as an ally? or an imperial guard detachement under command of a female primaris psycher, representing some of the kaerl forces from the fang? requires less stretching of the fluff than a female astartes ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/253282-aurea-lupi/page/3/#findComment-3124019 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SgtTelion Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I have to agree with many of the posts. To make a female astartes, you really should base it on a male. Saying that... This is a FANTASY miniature game, so you could accent the hips and breasts to make sure people know the RP is an RP'ess! There are a few ways of doing this. IMO sisters models are very Feminine, but the standard SM is not. However, I cant imagine a female astartes wearing different armour to her brothers. From experience (Im a British Soldier) we issue nothing different to our females. Having them look different makes them easy to sinlge out, and thus, more of a target. All our uniform/bodyarmour etc etc is the same. I would imagine the Space Marines would do exactly the same. Uniformity is there for a reason! But, again, this is a fantasy game, so hell, If you want a female RP, you need her to LOOK like a female!

Gertjan Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Well, they aren't very SW-ish but have a look here, there's some female power armor that is completely plain so it's a good base for converting into whatever you want it to be. Heresy, but we all think about it :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/253282-aurea-lupi/page/3/#findComment-3124511 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russ Brother 92 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Was there TWC pre-heresy?and does the Fenris system have a Forgeworld? IIRC we did NOT have TWC pre-heresy, mainly because the first time they were put into our fluff is 5th Ed. Codex, not sure about whether we have a forgeworld nearby, as the new BRB doesn't contain a map anymore ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/253282-aurea-lupi/page/3/#findComment-3140998 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rift Blade Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 The Storm Crow is a Heresy Era flyer--kinda of a precursor to the Thunder Hawk if I remeber right. Some of the TRaitor Legions still have some I beleive. THink they mention one in the second Word Bearer book. THe fluff seems to indicate that can carry a squad or 2 as well as a Dreadnaught. I beleive they are also mentioned in the prehersey book about the Wolves & the Casper guy? THe Remberancer sent to Fenris. I think. Not enough sleep right now & sick but I think that's right.
