Honestly, a wash and a highlight layer on the skintones and those would be perfectly serviceable, table-top quality paintjobs.

"LE" exclusive? I'd always thought the topless DEldar slaves were an urban myth.

I've definitely seen topless ones, but those could have been conversions I guess. E: I found some pictures of them in bare metal. I vaguely remember them being for sale at Games Day one year, but thinking they looked dumb as poo poo. One sold on eBay for $62, so I probably should have bought ten of them. moths fucked around with this message at 23:32 on Jul 15, 2015 |

I think I bought a pack of them waaaaaaaay back in order to convert my Slaanesh chaos lord for my old CSM. But bits order was strong then since she was made from the WHFB Slaanesh hero body and sword, the head sawed off of the SoB slave, one of the old metal CSM backpacks, the old metal Scout Bike stormbolter with the drum clip and then the slave girl sitting up behind her. Bit's order was loving rad is I guess what I'm trying to say.

Yeah well bits orders are completely unprofitable which is why GW decided there was no way they could maintain it and... oh hey Privateer Press.... http://store.privateerpress.com/ That is so weird, Privateer Press sells none of its current models on its own website and instead directs you to the FLGS. Man what a silly company. Doesn't even have web bundles! Also they sell goofy swag based about its IP *rolls eyes* how plebian!

Oh cut them some slack, they're stuck in a different century. I mean, recently a PP goon gave away 20+ battleboxes in the Warhammer thread. The mind boggles. Don't they know that every box they give away is one box less sold!? That's just cutting your own throat, profit-wise!

If each of those people buys a hundred dollars worth of stuff, thats 50 dollars in battlebox direct PP lost! If they spend a hundred, privateer lost 50 dollars, so that is like they're selling their products at a 33% loss! If those customers had just bought all those products at full price from the website direct from PP they would have made ALL that money. Obviously GW is better at this then the new fish.

If you're going to buy little sculpted Tits, you may as well get the best Tits money can buy. You wouldn't buy a porn mag with blurry pictures if you had the choice, would you? Not sure why but my phone capitalises Tits but it does.

Well, might be something to that regard. I'd say they're probably the best producer of titty, because, as this thread has illustrated, there's no part of female anathomy that doesn't mystify miniature sculptures (though breasts and faces are the most severe victims).

We can guess that GW plans to gradually release more and more kits specifically for AoS, and that with those will come scenarios, probably in books you have to pay for. The online warscrolls for existing miniatures appear to be - and according to Serious Gaylord who says he spoke with a GW rep at a con, are confirmed to be - a thinly-veiled farewell to the entire existing Fantasy line and the entire 8th edition and earlier Fantasy fanbase, complete with joke rules intentionally made to embarrass them out of wanting to play their now-obsolete units in public. Hilariously, GW is clearly committing to this thing bigtime. They're actually supposedly spending money to promote it at cons! They put a big Sigmarite statue out front of their headquarters, replacing the iconic space marine that's been there for, I don't know, at least a decade? They're heavily promoting the game to independent stockists and pushing it hard in their stores. It may yet be salvageable, from a rules perspective, since there are already fan-made mods to add in points, throw out the stupidest parts of the ruleset, and sort of half-assedly create a game that has some semblance of balance and gameplay. What probably isn't salvageable is the total lore-ectomy and replacement of the longstanding and interesting Fantasy old world with this new reality-balls soulless ripoff of Norse mythology and Space Marine iconography. The basic underlying mechanic of the game, despite being greatly simplified from Warhammer Fantasy, is still also dumb and repetitive and completely ignorant of how other tabletop wargames have solved various problems. So tl:dr, it's being panned online massively, but there are always GW apologists and for that matter, plenty of people who will "reserve judgement until I've tried it" and probably a fair number of sadly-resigned warhams who will grudgingly play AoS anyway because that's what their local gamers are doing. As for balance, GW still won't acknowledge that balance is actually a desirable feature of a game.
