So why couldn't there be female space marines? There's been at least 10 "editions" or rewrites of the lore anyways. Why couldn't they just change the lore to make females able to become space marines?

>>723397818 (OP)
Gene Seeds were in 20 men.

>>723397818 (OP)
There already are ugle female heads in the new Space marine head pack

>>723397818 (OP)
Why wouldn't there be 50 foot tall giga alpha marines way stronger than primarchs?
Why ask dumb questions like this and invalidate the established lore at all?
Why isn't every single space marine a black lesbian? Thats how ridiculous you sound.

>>723397818 (OP)
space marines are like humans jacked up to 11 and bred for combat, why would you want a smaller, slower, weaker, dumber space marine?

So GW can sell more of course

8 ft 350lbs muscular 'mommy' marines will not fuck you, give it a rest

>>723398193
Thats why they made sisters of battle.
Back in the day orks were for people that didn't want to play marines.
Protip - they just made new armies if enough people wanted to play x thing. Eventually enough people wanted to play ghost in the shell mechs in 40 and GW made tau.
The mars mecha faction didn't even exist when I played man.

You faggots are highly corruptive in any medium you move into, I have zero sympathy for people minimizing your life.

>rewrites of the lore anyways
no, there weren't
40k is an extremely unusually conservative setting. Barely anything changed. You can open 1st edition rogue trader book and 99% of lore will be identical

>talking necrons

>>723398503
retarded secondary
Necrons always talked, including Dawn of War
They always had their own will and plans and separate dynasties

Back to basics with the rage bait I see

>>723397818 (OP)
God these new space marine designs are so sooulless, genetic, lame and shit it's unreal. Dreadnoughts were done even dirtier. Went from looking like walking fortified gothic cathedrals to fucking Humpty Dumpty.

>>723398503
He's mostly right though. 40k lore is almost glacial. I stopped playing 25 years ago anon, the only addition to the lore since then is those mars boys and their void dragon being added. When I quit playing the C'tan were brand new and the lore for them was virtually nothing outside of who were those last c'tan with the front running theory being the voice on mars being one.

For all I know the lore is wildly different, but I bet you it isn't.

Then you see them in DoW cutscenes and they die easily. Why do they even wear the armor if it does not protect them from gunfire?

>>723398797
>the only addition to the lore since then is those mars boys and their void dragon being added
you're like three or four armies behind, and don't say the new space dwarves have any similarity to the old ones

>>723397818 (OP)
I dislike all the grifters like Metatron or The Critical Drinker; however,

The Space Marines being all male, the Sisters of Battle all female, and the Imperial Guard including both genders make all three factions unique and more interesting.

People like the theory that the Emperor didn’t want the Space Marines to replace the human race.

The lore is relatively consistent.

>>723399227
Votann are identical to old squats and nothing was retconned

>>723399227
I'm not really much behind anything I think. Forge World was a thing back when I played and people homebrewed goofy units from there into their normal armies (when not at a GW store).
People were adding weird walkers and cannons to their impguard armies, people were running kreig deathtrooper armies, 30k variant SM, white dwarf armies, the works. I think the naming convention for the eldar have changed a bunch but I bet their lore is still mostly the same.

Without looking anything up was I even in the ballpark on any of the mars and c'tan stuff?

>>723397818 (OP)
its pure fiction. it can be whatever you want.
i would make everyone female.
all the strongest and biggest things would be oppai lolis. except for necrons who are cursed to be flat.

The problem with the question “How does Superman fly?” is that Marvel actually cares enough to answer such questions, just like Tolkien, who cared deeply about the logic and consistency of his lore.

Superman is forgiven because he was the first major hero and has lasted so long, but audiences do care about rules and logic. That’s why Marvel comics were more successful than DC or Tolkien that his competition

>>723397818 (OP)
Didn't get the (you)s on /tg/ huh?
If they were going to do it they'd have done it with the Primarus retcon, perfect opportunity, but they didn't. Sisters of Battle are right there, but nobody who wants femarines plays them, because they don't play the game at all and just want to plant their progress flag.
Did you know this is a hobby with models and if you really want femarines you can modify the models you own? (You) do have models, right?
>But this is /v/
Then there's mods and it's even easier, secondary.

>>723401103
If people who cared about the series really wanted more women warriors they could just write more sisters of battle to start manifesting miracles
nobody actually cares about that though

>>723397818 (OP)
Why should there be? Why aren't SoB good enough?

Um... EXSQUEEZE me?!

The goal is subversive deconstruction. No one cares about "muh representation.

>>723401956
It's not about female representation. It's about corrupting yet another Sci fi franchise until it goes bankrupt

This is a very confusing issue to me. I don’t know much about 40k but I was at least aware of a human imperial unit of badass power armor girls called the sisters of battle. Is the issue just that they’re too hot?

>>723401956
Or show more Sisters of Silence.

>>723404460
Emperor is trying to hide something there...

>>723397818 (OP)
Their bodies couldn't handle it. It's as simple as that

There's no reason to make your elite soldier have inferior strength, coordination, mental fortitude, spatial awareness, reaction times.
