GW News: Combat phase in #NewAoS

Well, the points are in the screenshot so don't think that'll happen. Azyr is handy because it saves the lists and keeps them there, and I can add my own photos

 

some better pictures

 

Looks pretty good, I know a good place for female heads so some decent conversion possibilities there.

 

What's the issue with her?

 

Because women's bodies are differently shaped perhaps? I think you're taking "feminism" too far here. It's not like she is is scantily clad - she is wearing armour appropriate for her.

 

"Sarkeesian intensifies". JK, i see what you mean, but i don't really mind.

 

ok wait they finally completely put it down females are stormcast just as powerful as the as the male counterparts. But why the hell the boobplate I have always hated this since I was young and even when I first started hitting puberty and start armour like that was sexy as hell but even my Adolescent mind could not get over the fact it makes absolutely no sense. Yeah the high Fantasy game whatever but now when I look at the bookplate, all I think instead of making blows the deflect off the chest (yiu know what armor is meant to do)there going to be for sent to the centre and give them deeper impact when they would otherwise take a glancing blow. It would have just been easier and hell even cheaper from a business standpoint to just make female heads. Then again no matter how it goes do you need to have a clearly female model in order for people when they look at it to be yup that's a female unit. It's the same reason why I was going to buy some of the sisters of Silence to be unit or two of stormcast

 

Go ask a woman how it would feel if they had to cram their boobs into a metal chest plate designed for men and get back to me

 

I have done a lot of combat exercise and the woman that are part of it all wear the same armor as the men and most either tape down their chest or have a lot of support (sports bar, ect) you dont want to have tings moving around when you getting a kick to the chest or running. I get its fantasy and if i really wanted it to be historically correct i would say they should all be minus one breast as that is how the amazons did it to now have that thing get in the way of a bow. I know it will never go away and i dont mind it when done right but it will always be annoying and @Ritual is right at least shes not in a stormcast thong lol

 

So they wear something appropriate for their bodies...

It's not sexualising women, it's not giving them different armour for the sake of it... Feminism isn't about having everything exactly the same as men, it's about equality.

If they had stuck a woman's head on a standard stormcast body, someone would be complaining about it - let's be honest.

 

You missed that part wear they are wearing the same armor...but ya in a something like females in fantasy armor you can make everyone happy and like i said in happy shes not in a stormcast thong

 

I think it is more just a quick visual so people can immediately tell that this stormcast is a female. It makes no difference, you could call all your stormcast female, but this one is an easy reference point, shouldyou want a more feminine aesthetic to your stormcast army.

 

I guess it depends on the armour and how it fits, personally I prefer the fact they have done something different.

Let's just be thankful they didn't go for this...

 

They absolutely do... but you better get used to it. Welcome to the Fantasy Space Marine era.

I'm actually not against this. This will generate interest. It's better than just getting the same plain old Stormcast again.

 

Absolutely, there are lots of armies out there who could do with some attention. On the plus side there's nothing that really suggests that Stormcast design investment detracts from other things too much - we're getting Dwarves! And potentially an elf related announcement today!
