From a game standpoint... What if I just want to play an army of genetically engineered sci-fi meathead amazons? It's just a visual choice, women's faces are more appealing to me and I like the contrast between their faces and the power armour. Most of my marines wear helmets anyway, and only two people have ever noticed that the few with visible faces look more feminine than usual. They play the same, they don't have stupid boob armour or pastel colours. And there's no stupid crying over fallen gal pals or anything, just xeno-killing, acid-spitting badassery, same as the usual battle bros. Some of you are so caught up in the lore that you're letting the idea of anyone doing something not 100% canon make you mad, but I bet if GW had never said Space Marines were the Emp's Boy Scouts, y'all wouldn't care about people playing female marines at all. Even if GW introduces them into the lore someday, you won't have to play them and it won't change much at all about how they WORK. So chill, mate, you can have your bro marine armies, I can have my fem marines, and it really doesn't matter as long as we can play right.

Also, I really don't get why some of y'all get so mad about female marines, to the point where you're trying to apply real-world science to fantasy/sci-fi with things like psykers and the warp in it anyway... Careful, you might pull a muscle with all that reaching. You folks are pretty funny.
