Why are all beastmen represented as goat or cow/human hybrids? Chaos mutations are a spectrum and aren't as binary as cow and goat.

JerryLee posted:This is actually something I legitimately ask, albeit from a world-design perspective rather than a social justice one. Because it's way easier to make a race of goat men and maintain a coherent design and distinct model aesthetics than it is to make a bunch of random beast guys and then have to somehow differentiate them from Lizardmen and Skaven and such.

Also horns = Chaos, so there you go. Horns are basically nature's spikes.

Also goatmen and bullmen being evil and violent creatures predates miniature wargaming in human culture by a few millennia, ie Baphomet and the Minotaur, and the older things they came from. I mean, this stuff has been with us since Sumer at least, it's pretty well ingrained.

thespaceinvader posted:I'm pretty sure beastmen are a stable species/race of chaos-aligned dudes akin to lizardmen, rather than being mutated humans. They're both. Beastmen breed independently, though they can also be born to humans. In the actual fluff, a ton of brays/ungors don't actually have cow/goat features at all. The fluff also implies that chaos mutations come in 'strains', one for each chaos god: canine/predatory mammal for Khorn, bird for Tzeencht, insect for Nurgle, reptile for Slaanesh, and rodent for the Horned Rat. The Great Beast (Chaos Undivided as the Beastmen perceive it) tends towards ungulates and similar creatures (you get ponymen out in the steppes, and camelmen in the south, ect). All of the strains also do the tentacle-y/spike-y/bone-y thing too, and also have unique non-animalistic mutations as well (Nurgle can turn your blood into poo poo, for instance). It's ultimately for simplicity of models, but it's decently backed up in the fluff.

I think in the first at book that beastmen got to themselves(6e Beasts of Chaos) they talk about stuff like the tiger men of Ind. Also from memory NotAntarctica is wall to wall packed with beastmen.

From GW's board of directors page:quote:Kevin Rountree (age 44), COO. Kevin Rountree joined Games Workshop in March 1998 as assistant group accountant. He then had various management roles within Games Workshop, including head of sales for the Other Activities division (including Black Library, licensing and Sabertooth Games). Kevin was appointed CFO in September 2009. During the year ended 29 May 2011, he took on the responsibility of managing the Group’s service centres globally. To reflect this, his title was changed to chief operating officer from chief financial officer. He, however, still retains responsibility for all financial matters within Games Workshop. He qualified as a chartered management accountant in August 2001. Prior to joining Games Workshop, Kevin was the management accountant at J Barbour & Sons Limited and trained at Price Waterhouse.

From what I know of him he was rather more forward thinking that some of his colleagues but they really should have recruited externally. If he was the best they found then it shows that the job is not attractive to good quality candidates.

I'm curious, what do you think are the things GW should be looking for in a "good quality candidate" and how does Rountree fall short?

I believe "fresh ideas" should just about cover it. Doesn't really matter how capable and qualified he is if he's just going to keep on with the same failed policies he's been enacting as COO for the last 3 years.

He oversaw a massive reduction in staff and overheads to cut costs that impacted on the companies ability to deliver what led them out of the dark hole they were in after the LoTR bubble popped. While he wasnt behind the annual price rises, he did nothing to stop it (why would he, hes the financial officer?) and was generally a yappy little yes dog to Kirby. While hes not the worst person they could have appointed to the role, in the realistic prospects they had, he probably will turn out to be. A good candidate would have been someone with a proven track record of not only turning around failing retail outlets, but also driving online sales and customer satisfaction. Clearly they cant pay enough to attract someone from the upper managements of a supermarket chain, but thats the kind of skill set they'd have needed to sort out GW.

Just call it "speciality retail" and you'll have them lining up handing in their resumes. Oh wait, they don't even hire based on resumes, do they.

The fact of the matter is they just don't pay enough to get the people that would sort them out.
