The Sisters prove women are far less susceptible to Chaos than men.

Genuinely what benefit would he gain from it?

>>97922983
Not having as many fall to Chaos.

Because space marines are supposed to serve humans and having viable reproductive relationships be possible between superhumans could lead to eugenics wars.

But women fall to chaos all the time, Sisters of Battle are protected by their special training and relationship with the ecclesiarchy, which didn't even exist when the Space marines were invented.

Alright I see what the real point of this thread is. FemLorgar is the best.

>>97922994

A. The implants might completely fuck fertility for both genders.
B. Even if a Marine could have a baby, the baby would still be human. There's no reason that the implants would be inherited by the baby.
C. Even if a baby was born, it would probably be completely ruined and not live past infancy.

The bottleneck in producing Marines has always been the availability and uptake of geneseed, not the number of aspirants. There's no shortage of male aspirants so there's no need to increase the recruiting pool.

As someone whose family is made of sisters they'd have fallen to infighting and Chaos almost immediately. Anyone who acts like women are pure incorruptible beings are retards.

I'll be honest if I wanted goonslop I've got a lot better games for it than 40k. It's nice now and again in the broader fandom sense but I don't exactly see the benefit of suddenly shifting their brand focus from wargame autism to cheesecake art and minis

Well yeah, you can just look at Kingdom Death to see why such a move wouldn't be wise.
Still, this hobby proclaims one should "Forge their own Narrative," so why not get a little creative exercise in?

Why’d he make wamen custodes? Because gw has existed for too long and the game is aids now. Asking why for a reason is pointless and vapid as the existence of the modern franchise.

/tg/ rookie here. Could it have something to do with hormones? Irl human men are drastically more stable in terms of hormones chemistry things than women who are all over the place because of their gift of creating life; menstruation, menopause, etc. I'm new to Warhammer so I don't know the canon explanation but it makes sense that a process already very deadly and difficult to survive (space marine augmentations) would be twice or thrice as deadly for females with their more fragile bodies if not outright impossible for them to survive.

Am I on the rigth path?
>>
>>97922974
Sisters of Battle are less vulnerable to Chaos because they are selected primarily based on their faith, devotion and willpower. Space Marines on the other hand are primarily selected only for their physical attributes because that is pretty much the only thing that matters in surviving the gene-seed.

Read a book and find out.

>>97926170
the in-universe tl;dr version is the he made genetically enhanced superhuamns because everyone else was doing it, and the reason he used men is because men are expendable in war and the modifications make them no longer be human

the other tl;dr version is

Read God Emperor of Dune.

Also, women are hormonally more Chaotic. It is known.

>>97922974
Because 40k is heavily based on Dune.
Because 40k was designed for teenage boys
Because Emps didn't have manpower problems so why choose inferior stock
Because women are in fact not more resistant to Chaos
>>
>>97922974
Genuinely, i always thought testosterone and boy hormones are the reason all SMs were male. I mean there's got to be a reason that they specifically go after pubescent boys right?

The reason i could believe femstodes could exist is because Custodes are all literally perfect gene custom demigod humans, while SMs are gross mutants
>>
>>97923152
Its more then just implants, they get genetic treatments as well.
>>
>>97923069
False, it is a tie between Maggie The Red and Femguinius.
>>
>>97930507
Not to mention the implants are causing epigenetic changes in the subject as well.
>>
>>97922974
>Why didn't the Emperor create Spsce Marines from women?
Because when you inject several ounces of test per day, any female implanted with the gene seed would have their sex organs transform into male ones.

I'd actually, honest to God Emperor himself, unironically, literally, rather accept female Custodes as canon than female space marines. Custodes are crafted individually on genetical level without implantations iirc, so some mad fuck might just brew the perfect warrior waifu in his lab in some corner office of the Imperial Palace.

No, it's just NiceDaemonette. He used to get banned on sight for ban evasion and being overall awful, but lately the mods decided to let him roam free.

Because marines are tools, they arent humans anymore because the standard human does not in fact have two sets of lungs, two hearts and much more. He didn't want the tools to breed because if they got to the point where there was more of them then humanity then his whole idea of saving humanity is rendered moot.

Its why Fabius Bile is an idiot for saying he never could wrap his head around Big E only making Marines guys and anyone who uses Bile as an example of how female marines could happen are retarded. How's that new men plot point coming along?

Holy moly, now I get why people prefer Fantasy over 40k, 40k is literally a surreal comedy that is not funny.
>>
>>97932953
You boiling it down just hit the nail on the head. Astartes have massive fucking Egos and do tend to think themselves superior. Sure there are outliers but giving egotistical demigods the ability to breed and potentially wipe out humanity when they outnumber humanity is exactly what the Emperor didnt want to happen.

Astartes are a tool of war that were more then likely going to get the old yeller treatment like the Thunder Warriors before them

To be fair, that very disposability is what drove Horus to questioning the Emperor in the first place.
While I find it bizarre Big E was for some reason unwilling to tweak baseline humanity to at least start towards his goals, part of my justification for Female Space Marines, even if they were an effectively sterile, dead-end branch, is that they could interact with greater humanity in roles OTHER than weapon of mass destruction.

So nothing changes from the canon.

>>men are expendable in war
Only if your singular concern is survival,(which given that this is the imperium we're talking about, this fits and makes sense) the very moment you care about things other than mere survival though? Men stop being expendable very fucking quickly, and the losses of so-called male population in war can and do have strong negative effects on the nations that participated in the conflict in question, even if they won the war.
>>
>>97935605
>>and the losses of so-called excess male population in war
Fixed.
>>
>>97934378
>>they could interact with greater humanity in roles OTHER than weapon of mass destruction.
Men can do that too, and if the heresy had never happened the Astartes probably would have.
>>
>>97922974
Erm... but the Grey Knights are all men, and they never fall to Chaos either.
>>
>>97935612
>Men can do that too
True, but that's also where the hyper fixation on combat and being literal walls of ablative muscle works against them.

As an AoS fan I don't support fem space marines because that's a Sigmarine thing. I don't want us having too much overlap.

Girls have cooties, anon.
Female Space Marines would have super cooties that'd destroy the Imperium.

When have women in positions of power and authority EVER been a good thing rather than the downfall of civilizations? Are they gonna bring feminist snow plowing to Fenris?

You could try learning history rather than just rubbing your retarded face on your keyboard.
