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

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.

Again, not in my experience. I don't know which of our experiences is more common, but it'd be interesting to see some data. Though more focus on non-SpaceMarines can only be good for the hobby.

That has not been my experience at all. The key difference between FSM and "More lady drone pilots flying rainbow drones!" is that one of these.is a game that we want everyone to play. We do unironically want more ladies to feel comfortable playing the oppressors because it's a game and the space should feel inviting to people generally.

The Ork index has a few oddities:

• Spannas are compulsory, Runtherds are not

• No options for tankbustas, forced rokkit pistols

• Meks can't join burna boyz mobs

• Less an oddity, more a gripe: Is it just me or are lootas hot garbage?
