Ah yes, I'm sure Warhammer fans would love a movie following female protagonist. I bet they will definitely spend their money to watch it.

Funny, considering: one, actual Warhammer fans would know the Adepta Sororitas exists as playable units for a while now; two; the great and well-acclaimed VG “Rogue Trader” has a popular main character who is a member of the Adepta Sororitas (Sister Argenta); and three, most Warhammer fans aren’t pathetic incels. Henry Cavill, for one, is a WH40k fan.
Seems like you’re just spouting HERESY! And I for one know what the Adepta Sororitas does to Heretics…
EDIT: Never mind, it seems the OP was not being sarcastic or anything and was genuinely looking forward to it. So, maybe this should be deleted.

Might still be worth pointing out: Warhammer 40,000 does have a toxic dudebro subculture which thinks that the patriarchal, fascist Imperium of Man is something to admire, the existence of the Adepta Soritas notwithstanding. They’re not the majority from what I hear, but still a substantial minority. I don’t know if Classic Warhammer or Age of Sigmar have anything similar.

Tbf, a small part of a fandom (aka the fandumb) who think the obvious bad guys should be admired because they “look cooler” can be found anywhere, even if they’re not the target audience. Human stupidity and all that. It even has gotten a trope name: “rooting for the empire”. But that still does not mean they represent the majority of the fandom.

At the risk of being the “in fairness” guy, 40k really doesn’t have any “good guys” as far as factions go. Just degree’s of tyrannical asshole’ery and the Imperium of Man isn’t quite the worst.
Okay, MAYBE the Ynarri are good guys in a way, but that’s it.
Any other shift in society aside, I reckon that the interest in tabletop games from women, queer people, ethnic minorities, non-toxic straight white male nerds etc. increases as computers (through digital play, video game adaptations, internet lore, etc.) increases the odds of exposure without being scared away by That Guy.
Well, as a game features a protagonist who - in another game kills God - is aided by a senior commander of that world’s forces who is a woman who is revealed to possess great power, the fact that said protagonist kills no less than Cthulhu himself is money going to id Software for seeing such during “DOOM: The Dark Ages”.
id Tech 8 can really visualise such in great detail too. I’ve seen here & there people going into great detail re. ‘What If’ Doomguy was in the “WH40K” scenario: perhaps via a slipgate malfunction? But he wouldn’t mind. Demons from Hell or the Eye of Terror, ’tis no difference to him.
But considering what happens at the end of the 2nd “DOOM Eternal” DLC, I’d pay good money to see what he does to Khorne, Tzeentch, Nurgle & Slaanesh.
…and as per the Night Sentinels led by Valen - a black man - in the final assault on Davoth’s forces at Immora, he would do so no doubt with help from the various Loyalist Space Marine Chapters: none more so than the Adepta Sororitas.
Would also be fun if, say, the Adeptus Mechanicus were to create a portal to the Webway for him: certainly to Commorragh, he was true to his name: the Slayer. As he massacred all of the Dark Eldar.
Confused?
