Are there any interesting characters out there? Tona Criid is out there, she has an interesting backstory and all, but that's about it on what I was able to find. Are there any other good ones out there in the IG that aren't just rule34 material?
Female Imperial Guards-people?
Bentley Davis
Gavin Miller
Jessi Banda is another recurring female Gaunt's Ghost, both are probably by a wide range the most fleshed out Female Guard characters you'll find by virtue of the length of the series. There's Also Sanian who while not guard appears a couple of times and does eventually end up in combat and if I recall a female lord Commissar at a trial of Guant at some point though she's hardly fleshed out. There's also 2nd Lieutenant Mira from Relic's space marine game who is the most senior surviving officer in the story. She as well fleshed out as any character present which is to say...not much.
There are significantly more female characters on various parts of the soldier spectrum that turn up in Inquisition books/games because, if I may speculate, the role of frontline soldier remains overwhelmingly associated with men while the notion of female spys/assassins/exceptional individuals are much more widely culturally extant in the literature 40k tends to take inspiration from.
Cameron Foster
I'm sure there are a few out there. Lexicanum says 90% of IG are male, but that's gorillions of people, so there are most likely plenty to chose from. It seems that Regiments like 597th Valhallans and Calderon Rifles have notable female characters, like Regina Kasteen, and a couple other names off the Lexicanum wiki. I really can't recall any otherwise. Only War has sweet reg-creation and the option for female characters, if you can't find any, make some cool ones with some writefaggotry.

There is this female Catachan who is literally Ripley with muscles

Not Imperial Guard, but the captain of the Heresy Era World Eaters flagship was a woman.

Thanks for all the replies, will give them all a look

Guardsman. Someone who serves in the Imperial Guard is a Guardsman no matter what their sex.
And don't you fucking forget it, snowflake.

I never thought that this subtle ironic joke would actually trigger some fucking retard but it actually worked holy shit
Do you think SJW's actually post on Veeky Forums you fucking imbecile?

One of the sabat worlds short story collections has an interesting one from the pov of a blood pact tank crew, the commander of which is a woman.
it doesn't end well for anyone

I think you misspelt Guardsperson.

Dude was pretty obviously being ironic. Are you that triggered by people who don't even disagree with you reminding you that concepts you don't like exist?
Eli Roberts
Not sure if baby-faced female guardsman would be realistic, judging by their average life expectancy, or stupid. But as stated above, I'm looking for actual characters and not r34 fap material. Thanks to the others for suggestions, though.
Carson Butler
The separation was intentional to emphasise on the difference, but I don't think everyone got that, as we could see.

While not a character, the old 3rd edition IG Codex (the original, not the 3.5 'dex) references female Chimera crews from Dneipr.
It doesn't really go into more detail, but maybe all their regiment's vehicle crews are female, while the infantry is male?
Easton Wright
Sauce? That sounds awesome.

I forget which story it was, but it's in the Sabbat Crusade anthology.

Ayden Brooks
While I'd prefer not to fall into the Star Wars trap of assuming that one example defines a whole group, female crews and male infantry could make a certain amount of sense. The Russians had female tankers in WW2, maybe their smaller stature helps in the close confines of a tank? Or it could just be a cultural thing, which I like better. Dneipr men think that it's a little "feminine" to work in a tank crew, a real man's man should be out front, stabbing Xenos with a bayonet! Or maybe they think that their vehicle's machine spirits object to the presence of men, and work better when they have female crews.

Are you okay? Is there anyone I can call?
Elijah Davis
If female commissars count there are a couple in Fire Caste.
Gavin Taylor
The latest Gaunt book focuses an unusual amount of attention on some previously literally who female characters.
Andrew Wright
Also, there was a female Afriel strain trooper in the first and (I think) third Last Chancers books.
Matthew Myers
>tfw you have a thing for women in uniform but know bitches ain't shit
Jeremiah Morgan
Maybe Dneipr just don't have enough males for both their infantry and vehicle crews. The slightly weaker physique of the women is less of an issue when serving as vehicle crews than as infantry.
And as you said, their smaller stature is an advantage when it comes to fitting into the vehicles.
I don't know about Soviet female tank crews, but I know they had size requirements (and still do, in the Russian army) for tank crews, as Russian tanks are really quite cramped.
Yeah that was kinda lame, IMHO. Why do suddenly Verghastites have Russian-ish names and accents?
Aiden Hughes
To be honest the hair bugs me on this, but whatever
Jeremiah Gonzalez
Here is one without the armor, so the hair makes more sense
Gabriel Brown
>Bitches ain't shit
That because the bitches that actually goes into combat aren't called bitches anymore. They're called bro, as everyone else

I just tend to call them dude, but I call everyone that, so it's the same base concept

Well there's the Vallhallan 597th which is a mixed regiment from the Cain series. Plenty of good female Guardsmen like Colonel Kasteen, Jinxie Penlan and my favorite, the psychotic Cpl Magot.
And then there's Inquisitor Amberley Vail in the pic.

Not that guy but yes SJWs do post here from time to time, usually for the purpose of shilling and virtue signalling. The end result is always a shit show of fa/tg/uys raging more at the shitty interpretation of lore and mechanics then actually being upset at the political content. The general Veeky Forums attitude seems to be "you can like chicks with dicks all you like but he second you fuck with established stuff to force chicks with dicks then we're going to rage"
This is also why flipped, you got the fucking lore wrong and that is what sent him off. Fucking with these things is like stealing a potato's chicken tendies, it's just going to end in a fit of confusing rage.

Are female Mordians and Tallarn just FFG bullshit, or have they appeared elsewhere? They had something of a bad habit of inclusivity > lore.
Jackson Perez
They've been around forever, they just don't get put in a lot of things. Tallarn were in Vol.3 of IA, and I want to say there was another one with them.

Just as much an issue for modern tanks if you expect them to be able to do any kind of maintenance or repair, but Soviet crews were usually only mixed gender at most and if a T-34 broke down without the crew dying inside I figure it's just as likely that they scrapped the whole thing and got them a new one as it is they had it repaired.

I couldn't find anything in IA 3, but I don't have a PDF that's set up for text searching, so I may have missed it. Do you remember anything more specific?
Chase Lee
>Just as much an issue for modern tanks if you expect them to be able to do any kind of maintenance or repair
If i remember, if you need that kind of heavy maintenance for modern tanks you need to wait for engineers with heavy duty machines to tow them out from the frontline. Most modern tanks are complicated as shit, field maintenance are mostly consisted of light setup.
Old T-34 however, are very simple and maintenance light.
Hunter Cook
They're not really the main focus, so I'm not surprised, but they are in there. They add in Mukaali as mounts. If you can find the older Guard codexes they might have a little in there.
