Despite GeeDubs dragging its feet in getting more female models out, most factions still have some fairer sex flavor. Tau have their Shadowtsundere, the Imperium have the Bolter Bitches, the two Eldar codices have their countless concubines (and She Who Thirsts, arguably), and the Tyranids have.... Well she ain't pretty but you know she puts out: the Tervigon.
