I know a decent sized cadre of women in the hobby and not a one is into the Sisters. Tyranids seemed to be most popular for awhile and then Adeptus Mechanicus and Eldar. Some chaos forces round everything out.
I think lore wise just the fact that "girls can play too" in the Emporer's legions isn't enough to make the army popular. Rather it calls attention to the design that makes them seem suplimentry to the lore rather than essential. That they are accompanied by cherublike things - basically battle babies- seems to strike a dischord... Like the narrow space afforded them is big enough to remind them that women have wombs.
I imagine there's women out there who play Sisters... But I don't really know one.
Oh damn, I didn't even notice that! Yeah, I can see how that would be reductive. Crazy nuns with babies... hmm. I was mostly asking for material to annoy someone with but this thread actually got me thinking deeply about things.
