If you really want them, then change the canon for your game. It really works much better that way and avoids the ever-stranger ways of trying to slip them into GW's canon.

Honestly? I'm happier trying to find the loopholes in canon than outright ignoring it. That being said, I'd never allow a female astartes in a game, regardless of circumstances - just playing devil's advocate here and help those that find it a requirement for wahtever reason.

Re: #2 - That's not the case in much of the Imperium. On Death Worlds and Hive Worlds you find many examples of warrior women, and they are in the novels too (look at Gaunt's Ghosts where a sizable minority of the troops from later additions are female). It's not necessarily realistic, but then again, neither is much of WH40K.
The Ghosts aren't from feral worlds. Most of these feral worlders wouldn't be endangering their female population. That is just inviting extinction.

Unless the female population outnumbers the male population 20 to 1 and tribal wars are fought over the Sacred Patriarchs. Remember - a million million worlds of the imperium - they're all unique
But yeah - you couldn't call Tanith a feral world, really. More your true 'Imperial World' with some slightly confusing trees

The Catachans have females in them, and they are supposed to be poster children for feral worlders.

Not really, although it's a death world it supports a relatively large population in technologically advanced cities using said technology to hold the planets terrors back. So they aren't actual a primitive society such as those that many Space Marine chapters draw from.
Hold up cause I might be wrong here, but I could have sworn that somewhere I read that some dudes in the Imperium have tried to make female Astartes. And they failed miserably, creating mutated abominations slavering for blood that were killed within seconds of them being discovered, followed by their creators. Not sure where I read this, but just throwing it out there…

No, it's not quite like that. Instead when creative and open-minded people bring up the possibility of female Space Marines on boards like this, abominable canon-zealots slavering for blood attack these ideas within seconds, followed by their creators.

I'm not trying to win people over with it; I'm just throwing a joke out for those that take this all a little too seriously.
