    That is true - 40K still at least has potential for new Xenos factions to appear. I forgot about the GC rebirth, which was a great move. Indeed those Spindle-Drones they released with Blackstone Fortress could have been front and centre of the opposing forces like in Deathwatch Overkill with an entire faction based around them, and they could have used that to introduce us to a brand new faction, if they hadn't been so deluded in thinking that Imperium vs Chaos should continually be advertised. Instead we got what I certainly think is a pretty awful boxed game, even with the unusual and interesting quest heroes. So much potential that was thoroughly wasted.

    Time for a homebrew:

    New Stormcast model! :D

    She’s to be made available only at store openings. Is it me, or does the angle make her face look a bit... odd?

    That face reminds me a bit too much of a porcelain doll with a hint of Chucky. It's likely because of the cheeks and forehead.

    To me she looks a bit chubby about the cheeks, as if she had one Azyr pie too many...;)

    Sculpted six-pack abs. :cyclops: I think that might be what bugs me the most about every SCE infantry model.

    To be honest, the boobs on the chestplate look worse. It just looks like the chestplate has a random dent in it. At least the abs look like intended embellishment.

    I like the pose and don't care much about the armor, but the face is just ugly. Like most faces of GW models.

    Maybe it is just the armor that has abs :rolleyes:
    And there is a fat belly squished inside :D

    Gr, Imrahil

    [Edit] that explains the face :wtf:

    I think he meant compared to the abs.

    I don't mind the shape of that armor. It is based on something like this:

    EDIT:
    The Greek even had nipples on theirs sometimes.
    Here is an original one:

    Where are the enormously over-sized shoulder pads that would severely restrict any and all movement?

    Compared to the abs yeah. It just looks like a massive dent instead of stylized armour like in @Aginor 's example. I think what bothers me is that one the one hand it's very very pronounced, and kinda breaks the flow of the rest of the breastplate while on the other hand it's not very stylized. So it ends up a weird hybrid between the style of heavily stylized breast armour (like adeptus sorerita) and the (slightly) more realistic style like this:
    [​IMG]
    where you just have a more pronounced chest, but you don't have breasts popping out of the plate like in the stylizid version.

    Also for bonus points a genuine stylized female suit of armor. :p

    I was only referring to the abs/boobs breastplate.
