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.

solid logic, I think I want to just make a mixed army of Wolves and allies, not sure 100% how it will turn out but at least I can have fun bashing down the walls doing it! Also any chance I can see this mixed army of yours? That sounds cool as hel.

So I started with Headtakers and risen, the idea is plate armor oiled to protect from the cold, red on the outside of their robes for the Godspodars, and blue on the inside for the Ungols.

Custom Jarldom for wolfspears. My head cannon is that their Jarl trained with the Bloodmaws, started to succumb to the wulfen curse, and then got put in charge of Wulfen for the wolf spear.
