I seen no great reason, in terms of the ever - so - mutable - lore that women space marines couldn't turn up one day in the Games Workshop world and be a viable force. Females are part of a good few other races/fractions. Disappointingly the Imperial Guard don't have any female models that I recall in main stream circulation, despite the literature/artwork showing them. Yet it is good enough for the Tau, Elder, Dark Eldar, Sisters of battle and Inquisitors. Think some sculpting should be done. Not to panda to social justice bods as ignorantly suggested but to better reflect the situation.

It might even help create more identifiable female heroines for female (and males I guess) fans to care about. Help expand the hobby outside of the traditionally male environment. Saying that, bar maybe computer games, the 'fictional fantasy/sci-fi games' market all seem likewise male derived.
