i wasn't trying to shoe-horn in an unlikely idea but simply pointing out that within 40k's established universe there is a colossul amount that just isn't known in-universe - many works of the emperor for example - and nothing needs to be retconned in adding a female primarch to 40k's universe (providing those doing the writing actually apply some intellect and don't just go "lets make heaps of changes but we don't care about old lore.")

and i totally agree that a female primarch and subsequent astartes would add very little plot-wise, but then gw themselves have been adding very little plot-wise for over 20 years :P
