I'm perfectly fine with female Imperial Guard and Sister's of Battle. You don't need geneseed and connected power armor to be a badass.<br/><br/>Exhibit A<br/><br/>http://spacemarine.wikia.com/wiki/2nd_Lieutenant_Mira (http://spacemarine.wikia.com/wiki/2nd_Lieutenant_Mira) (Warning, spoilers)<br/><br/>When the entire command squad was killed during the early point of the battle, she took up sole command of all Imperial Guard protecting the factories. It is thanks to her that so many survived in time for the Space Marines to arrive.<br/><br/>Spoilers!<div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">And at the end, when the Inquisition is about to take Captain Titus in on suspicion of Heresy, she is willing to stand against all of the Imperioum to protect him.</div></div><br/>Exhibit B<br/><br/>http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Saint_Celestine (http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Saint_Celestine)<br/><br/>She first appeared as a  Sister Repentia, a Sister of Battle who fell short of their Codes and now charges into battle armed with only simple clothing and a massive two-handed chainsword expected to die before her sins are forgiven. Which she did after slaying over one hundred foes. However, when her body was claimed, they found it still carried the spark of life and in her eyes shone with the light of one touched by the Emperor. When they cleaned her body, they found it without a scratch. The next day, she stood at the front-lines as a Sister of Battle and claimed the most kills in the entire campaign.<br/><br/>There are more, but her peek comes when after her supposed death at a Warmaster's dishonorable detonation of an atomic pile under his fortress. She still appears saving Sister and Space Marine alike in their darkest hours, coming in a flash of light and slaying their enemies before vanishing again, leaving only dead behind.
