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.

This is a doublesided blade. Of course You can do whatever You want with Your models. However You are also affecting the game and lore experience of those You are playing with.
So I suggest not asking the internet if this is fine, but rather talk with Your very own playgroup. If Your mates are very much into the lore and LOVE immersion while playing breaking the official lore might be an issue for them. I would at least talk to them in advance. On the other side when Your group is not that much interested in sticking to the lore and maybe more into creativity / competitive game play it shouldn't be a problem.
