    What miniatures game do you know of that has more female players because it has more female miniatures in it?

      I can’t speak for more female minis, since giant robots don’t have genders generally, BUT my first interaction with Battletech wasn’t about a conglomeration all-male posterboy factions that comprise fully half the game and have their own prequel game with even more All-Man Space Marines.

        Right, and Battletech has an even more male-dominated fanbase than 40k.

        The calls for female space marines, again, seem to be primarily by men uncomfortable with their own maleness.

          We clearly run in different circles, though I wouldn’t be surprised to find that mine is less typical.
