    improbable female authority figure

    female authority figure is Cadian

    Cadia is (yes, Cadia still stands. fite me chaos nerds) a world where every human with a pulse and an age above 5 is handed a rifle and sent to boot camp because LITERAL HELL IS RIGHT THERE, JUST LOOK UP AT THE DAEMONS COMING TO GET YOU

    Bruh.

    Ultramarines are improbably diverse

    Ultramar is literally Space Rome, a massive cosmopolitan space empire consisting of 500 worlds and trillions of people

    I'm going to find this person and beat them with my worn-out copy of Know No Fear until they stop whining about the existence of women and black people long enough to have at least a cursory knowledge of the lore they're butchering.

      Yeah, them being angry that a Cadian woman is calling shots shows how they don't know the lore.

        Cadia literally has child soldiers. Like they teach their kids how to use a gun before they teach them to read. In the event of a demonic invasion, Cadians expect toddlers to man the front lines. Fact: adult women are stronger than a five-year-old boy.

          What's the phrase?: "A Cadian that can't field strip a gun by 4 was born on the wrong planet."

            Still has, they just gathered the remanants and get new planet, but did not changed their ways. Whiteshields are still getting trained and still thrown into grinder at 15-16 year old. Maybe even younger now because the supply of recruits is short.

      I remember part from the book about Ursula Creed ("Creed: Ashes of Cadia"), which was sadly the only good part of that book, where some general during war council tried to use Ursarkar against Ursula "What would your daddy do" and she straight up responded: "My father commanded over the worst disaster in entire history of Cadia. Excuse me but i would prefer to win"
