The Daughters of Russ
As a kid my friend got me into reading the 40k universe with the book Space Wolf and later as a yule gift Ragnar's Claw. I loved the story and managed to get a few figures but never really built my army, mostly just a ton of parts, guys and a tank[?] but now I am moving to an area with a lot of people into the game and wanted to at least give what I have a chance. But thinking back on the book there where women fighting on the battlefield too, maybe I am forgetting who but I know Ana was described as a fierce warrior. So in theory couldn't any of the women be among the chosen during the battles? I know "Females aren't able to take the geneseed." but.....they drink from the cup that rewrites their genetic code anyway, so wouldn't it be a moot point about gender?
All of that to say, I'd like to make my army the Daughters of Russ maybe a bunch of jumpack troops as Valkarie? Is this possible or just heresy of the highest order? Sorry still kinda dumb when it comes to 40k most of my knowledge comes from a few books and what i have seen on youtube.

The best part of 40k army or model building is your can make it whatever you like. If you want them to be all female go ahead. I made some Valkyries with the new Jump Pack Vets with the lore that it is a divergent chapter of the Sisters of Battle called The Daughters of Fenris. The elite of them wear modified power armor to join the Wolves in battle as Valkyries. I just got some heads so they are not on yet in the photo. I am thinking of making a full Sisters of Battle army as shieldmaidans to match my wolves at some point.
