which factions have female units?

[catgirlforeskin]

is it just sororitas and drukhari?

[TemplarGR]

The Craftworld Aeldari also have the Banshees which are female. But otherwise yeah, those are it. Of course depends on how you view the Tyrannids, i always perceived them as females since they are angry aggressive greedy can't-be-argued-with monsters, lol.

If you are going by the official Warhammer lore, I think pretty much only Space Marines and Orks (though I'm not sure if those are supposed to be technically 'male' as they reproduce asexually) are exclusively male - and Sororitas exclusively female (with the possible exception of auxiliary units).

If you are going by Gladius lore - well, the Campaigns you get a female Cryptek and a female Aeldari Ranger Captain, a female Tau Commander, a Chaos sorcereress (and of course the Sororitas and a few female characters in the Drukhari campaign).
Few actual Gladius unit models are unambiguously female, but as lots of units wear heavy armour / robes or are inside vehicles this doesn't mean much.

If you are going by the Too Many Voices mod (excellent choice! ;) ) ... you will find a number of female units. Sororitas and Drukhari sadly aren't voiced yet, but the Aeldari campaign has a female narrator. The Banshees and the Farseer hero are female. As are the Tau Commander and the Imperial Guard Valkyrie. Most units are male, though.

They're not exclusively female though, something I found out not so much the hard way but in a more surprised way since the only experience with the 40K universe was the Dawn of War franchise when the Banshee's had a female VA.

The Fluff in several Craftworld Codices mentations a few times that all Aspects are filled with both genders (they are equial in body capabiltys and mind) , but the TT Models for Banshees are only Female (at least my old metal ones) . Its also the Only Aspect founded by a Woman.

Tell me you are an american without saying a word

It's really interesting to see how such an established, revered franchise deftly shifts itself (slightly) with the changing times.

Not particularly a fan of the humour, but not something I'd consider 'full politic'. In any case that has little relevance to the topic here. The original poster asked a reasonable question. Honestly, I'm way warier of folks who immediately smell political motivations whenever someone talks about females in games.

[Grotzel]

Just a little note to get back on topic:
I believe I read somewhere that Howling Banshees are a path taken predominantly by female Aeldari (though not exclusively).

thank you to everyone else who provided helpful answers! gonna keep an eye on when the next sale hits

As a sentient mushroom, all humie relationships are kind of icky to me. ;) Anyway, Gladius can be a pretty great game for cooperative play and grabbing it during a sale is a good idea. Have fun! :)
