Under an entry in the gallery somebody mentioned female space marines, seems to be from the rouge trader days.
What was that all about and does anybody have any pics of the minis?

Yep, way back when. They made two of them in their Rogue Trader Adventurers range. Then changed their mind and said \'no female Space Marines\'.

Dodgy pics here.

Indeed it was quite common to get 5 minis for £5.
I had a skaven army put together in no time with my pocket money (I was about 14 at the time).
Those were the days. :)

So depicting Nun\'s Wi\' Guns is PC, cool.
My wife can\'t complain about the Sisters Repentia then.


And Yes GW did produce some very humorous mini\'s way back when.

My comment was most clearly directed at the halfling cook in the linked picture. That makes me laugh just thinking about it.

Does a spatula count as a close combat weapon?

I suppose the fluff for Space Marines has discounted females, but what about Imperial Guard? A female shock trooper would be interesting. Anyway, power armor would make male/female indistinguishable I\'d guess (unless it was designed not to.)

Oh my god! :eek: I have both of those Astropath models! They were among some of my first models and I had forgotten all about them. I think it\'s time for me to make an Ebay account. They have to be worth something to someone!

There are female Catachan models, IIRC.
