It would be better if it had 5-8 boobs. 2 just isn't natural.

It's not just that it's horrible and uncomfortable and somehow promoted by an actual Games Workshop store - it's a terrible conversion, too, on a model with a ton of potential. The idea of a Chaos-possessed Wraithknight is really fantastic and the model's large enough that you've got a ton of space to implement it, and somehow this guy came out with "Glue wings on back, put sensor arrays coming out rear end, add terrible breasts".

Dat spirit stone cleavage, tho... It is bizarre to me that people seem to totally forget about gravity when it comes to drawing or modeling breasts. Boobs aren't just cones that stick out horizontally and totally disobey the laws of physics.

I'm gonna tell you a huge secret about guys and you have to promise not to let anyone else know: most of their expectations of the female body are not grounded in reality in any way, shape, or form. A lot of dudes get their perceptions of what tits "should" look like from some combination of porn, comic books, and magazines, very few of which have any touchstones to what actual women look like.

Hermaphrodite, at least in common usage, can also mean both breasts plus male genitals, or just both sets of genitals, or a number of other things. Don't ask me how I've come by this knowledge  edit: also, and this is into  territory at this point, but it always bothered me that Slaanesh (at least in model lines, and to a large extent the written lore as well) seemed to be about getting your crab claws and weird boobs off an assembly line, rather than diverse manifestations of excess and perceived beauty.

Though it would be pretty cool to see a David Bowie 80s hair metal Slaanesh group.

JerryLee posted:Ebay. Seriously. Prices will probably be higher than usual on used orks because of the imminent release, but I'd be astonished if you couldn't still find some boyz to start playing with. Or buy Mantic or Kromlech or something (Kromlech may not save you much money but you're at least supporting the little guy). 40k aesthetics are still great and the rules are at least a wash, so don't let the lovely company ruin all your fun. I play fantasy and have done my fair share of Ebay rescues. I'd just rather have unbuilt models at this point unless its something I know I can break down (like pewter).

Good ol' gender norms, gettin' used all over the place!

Oh believe me, the fact that the game universe literally attempts to define deviation from norms on gender presentation as the hallmark of an evil god is its own delightful can of worms  But this isn't queer theory class and I wouldn't be fully qualified to teach it if it was.

Compared to the other three gods, whose hallmarks are 'being fat and sick', 'being angry', and 'being smart and planning ahead'. Not to excuse the Slaaneshi weirdness but it's not like the other ones are particularly noteworthy.

Deciding to stop fully exploring the mixture of positive and negative characteristics in each Chaos god is one of the more disappointing choices they ever made, from a creative standpoint.

Well yeah, there's not really any upside to any of it any more. Khorne used to be the god of stuff like martial pride as well (and I guess presumably still is) but all we really ever see is his units hate space wizards and have Furious Charge and Rage. Like imagine a Plague Marine showing up and trying to espouse the virtues of converting to Nurgle? How the gently caress do these people get followers?

He's ostensibly also the god of life and such, but hey, instead we just get Nurgle's Rot and his followers are fat and laugh sometimes. I mean you can read it like killing people in the Imperium is an act of benevolence because it's kind of poo poo but really all we see is him turning people into zombies and giving them mega-sars. If he is loving and caring, it's certainly not the way we'd imagine it.

WHF makes it a little murkier with the Elven gods just being aspects of the big four. Khaine is Khorne, Isha is Nurgle, stuff like that.

SUPER NEAT TOY posted:He's ostensibly also the god of life and such, but hey, instead we just get Nurgle's Rot and his followers are fat and laugh sometimes. Nurgle is a god of decay and stagnation who has a god of life locked in his basement. The positive aspects of Nurgle are more along the lines of acceptance of the inevitable and joy in the face of adversity. Slaanesh is probably the closest to a traditional god/ess of life, as they're all about reveling in life's excess and the like. Tzeentch is represents hope as well as change but all his change exists to further a greater goal and usually involves mutating the poo poo out of anyone who can't play along. Khorne is of course BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD SKULLS and will always be powerful since everyone follows him to some extent when they fight.

The best part is how glaringly obvious said GW manager has never seen a pair of breasts in-the-flesh. Ironically enough, if he's the type of creepy nerd to convert tits on a model then he more than likely has a pair of chesticles of his own that he should be able to draw inspiration from.

So I swung by the Greenwich Village GW store today to see about some pick-up games. I was bringing my Night Lords, and although they were running a tournament, the guy running the shop set up an extra 4x4 table for us to use for pick-up games, which was cool. I had 1500 points with me, broken out into a 1k army with an extra 500 point add-on. I was bringing: 1k points 1 chaos lord w/jump pack + lightning claws 1 sorcerer on bike (ML 2) 1 csm squad w/Bolt Pistol + CC, Rhino 1 csm squad w/Lascannon + plasma gun 10 Raptors w/2 meltaguns + champ 2/Lightning claw 9 bikes w/2 meltaguns 500 pt addon 6 chaos terminators w/Reaper 1 Decimator w/Storm Laser 1 Sorcerer (ML 2) +1 bike So the first game I played was against a guy, said he couldn't do 1k points, only 1,020. Obviously I hadn't been paying enough attention to recent releases or warning bells would have gone off at that number. Hilariously, he asked me if I was playing a battle forged army and informed me that he didn't want to play against Unbound armies, which made sense when he plopped down three knights as his army  . If you take a look at my 1k point list up there, you'll see that my army has the following to deal with knights: 4 meltaguns and a lascannon. So things went about as you'd have expected. Hell, worse even.I went second, lost every single bike and every single raptor on turn 1 (i.e. all 4 meltaguns), then conceded on my turn. So that was fun. The second game I played was against Imperial Guard (1,500 points) and was actually much more fun. The guy I played was heavy on mans but light on tanks which made it easy for my bikes and raptors to swoop in from his flank and tear up his army. I ended up winning in Purge the Alien, 4-2 after I annihilated 3 of his squads in close combat with my Raptors and Bikes. I mean, I'm sure if your army is appropriately kitted out you can deal with Knights fairly easily but that seems difficult to do in a 1k "all comers" list. Anyways, gg random guy at the GW store. It was pretty funny when right after the game the store employee called him a "cheesy gently caress" though. Unrelated note, during the tournament people kept asking the GW employee about 7th edition rules and his response was "I don't know. Do you have the rulebook?" in a way that implied that they should buy a copy of the rulebook. From the way he said it I couldn't tell if he legitimately didn't know the rules or if he was just being a dick.

Honestly, if people don't actually have the game rulebook at a GW store and ask the GW guy how to play, they should expect to get that response. That first guy is a douche.
