They may not be official GW figures but these look pretty good:

I'm personally not too interested in the cheesecake figures but some of the bits like the assorted skulls and the open books might just be handy for conversions.

I also don't like the cheesecake aspect. Too sexualized for my taste. I prefer Victoria Miniature's female figures (http://victoriaminiatures.highwire.com/products/female-troops-and-bits?pagesize=12), as they're more realistic.

Their 2015 Adepticon mini is fairly awesome for female commissars. (http://victoriaminiatures.info/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Adepticon-last-chance2.jpg)

Damn, I want that Adepticon mini. +1 for Victoria Miniatures, though. Only Guardswomen minis I can find that aren't redunkulously sexualised. That said, there are occasional Raging Heroes minis that are alright, and Kromlech do some cool female minis.

I love the Raging Heroes stuff, but having got my kickstarter stuff from them last year, they really are tiny. not being heroic scale, you can't convert them with any GW components. even guard laspistols look ridiculously huge. really scuppered my plans.

As far as 3rd party female proxies Hassle Free's inquisitor takes some beating.

That Wargame Exclusive stuff has been doing the rounds on Pinterest for a while and looking at their website they are probably going to get sued soon.

The guy's sculpting skills are pretty solid, and I really like a lot of the designs for things like vehicles on this site...

But no. The amount of sexual objectification is just f**king disgusting. F**king DISGUSTING. No way would I feel comfortable putting down any of his naked lady models, and I think I'd probably walk away from anyone who thought it was okay to do so. I can't actually think of anything that screams 'sexual predator' worse than these models; they're just super-creepy, and not in a GRIMDARK good way, but in an isolated-loner-with-an-extensive-collection-of-pornography-stacked-by-a-small-collection-of-used-children's-shoes-next-to-a-furnace-whose-interior-is-greasy-with-human-fat kind of way.

Yeah, I have to be honest, I'm amazed Wargames didn't find a way to sculpt boobs onto the limo. Personally, I like my female models to be suited for combat, not a soldier-themed stripper outfit. :P

That Hasslefree mini looks really cool, though. I should really browse their collection for character models, when I get back into 40K.

I agree with cheesecake minis; porn dolls are something I doubt I'll ever add to my army.

I really love the whole Victoria mini line. I've added a few to fill out my Praetorian IG list.

You can't? Well, my friend, let me direct you to Nexus mods, where you should browse the Fallout 4 and Skyrim mods, with "adult" content turned on (actually, I think they stopped bothering with the filtering).

Though, in those cases, it's a single-player game that doesn't require social interaction, which isn't quite as weird as showing up to play a game and thinking it's okay to put that kind of model on the table.

At least Commissar Corset was clothed... though she did have a practically impossible waistline, and her chest was certainly not "standard issue."

I've got a Kill Team force of Chem Dogs/Hive Gangers converted up from Cultists, IG and Aunty Vic's minis. They're awesome bitz, very characterful.

Put heads from Statuesque and Victoria miniatures on the relevant GW plastics, works well for other Guard models as well
