The bases I tried the flakes were falling off if I just inverted the base.

Like many other people I feel the Age of Sigmar setting could be the Outer Planes to the old world. The Age of Sigmar setting is even set up like Norse Mythology. With diffrent realms and stuff, they could just make the old world Midgard.

Did you wash the bases first? That sounds like you might have had release agent on them.

I'm sure GW has had thoughts about doing some sort of retcon to this effect but let's be honest here- that's pretty high risk. I honestly don't think Stormcast would ever fit in with the setting of the old world in such a way that they feel right. I think this new thing they're doing with city-states could be sort of cool. The big thing the setting is missing is any sort of grounding; we have no idea how common people live, or even where they live for the most part. Hopefully this new track will be enough.

Stormcasts would easily fit into the Old World as "Daemons" of Order. Although it does add some optimism into the setting.

Though I would keep them decently mysterious and sometimes hostile to the empire in cases. Somtimes going against it feeling they are not doing as Sigmar would want or something like that.

Speaking of Stormcasts, just seen a picture of the female Stormcast that's coming with Shadespire. Why GW, why?   Boob armour, bare midriff, thin waist, wide hips, check, check, check and check.

Literally only needed a headswap. Not as bad as it could have been, they haven't hired Doc Thunder yet, but kinda disappointing.

You can make female Sigmarines even easier than a head swap. Just add a line in the fluff that states, "Some of these are women." Boom, done. Fully armored warriors in masks. There doesn't need to be any specific gendering.

The way I remember it Sigmar saved the entire household of some particularly badass king, the members of which would become the Tempest Lords. I don't think it was explicitly stated that there were women included but it was heavily implied.

They're just peeps in massive armour and could be either male or female and with that amount of armour plate and completely enclosed masks there'd be no way to know. The ones I painted up, that'll pad out my wife's Seraphon warband (until I paint them) for our first game have now been named the Storm Ladies.

Was posting in the w40k thread about how i'm getting back into this crazy hobby after a new GW store opened 5 minutes from my house. Was going to start with some space marines since I picked up the First Strike box set but after going back I'm honestly blown away by the Age of Sigmar miniatures. So far the Sylvaneth and Malignants are interesting me the most. Any tips on getting started with these armies? I assume the Start Collecting sets are a pretty good deal? Just wish the Sylvaneth wasn't mostly just Dryads.

I think the new allies box for malignants is a good deal. An even better thing is the skellie box, which is full of good stuff and doesn't shove named characters down your throat. Take two, throw out one wraith king in favour of a vampire, add skellies to taste. Are there good AoS books? So far the lore seems super boring, and the two audiobooks I listened to that were supposed to sell me on sigmarines (finding alarielle, recovering ghal maraz, getting some gate from khornates) really failed on it. I have also played both Hinterlands and Skirmish, and the were... meh. Soldiers would usually get into a crush at some point, and everything would be solved there. No dynamic, running battles. I was really disappointed, since I thought lowercase s skirmish is the answer to all that ails any hams system.

The new Eight Lamentations series sounds really promising.

That's be my preferred option, cause I'm a lazy bastard at heart. That being said the model doesn't look that bad; it's not a baremidriff and while boob plate is stupid that style doesn't look particularly sexualised. Yeah it's still dumb from a realism perspective, but GW shoulderpads basically mean they've long since forfeited all realism complaints ever.

It's less about the realism of it and the continued push by these companies to distinguish "male" and "female" through armor or clothing. Basically, it says that the only thing that makes someone a woman is their breasts, in one form or another. Star Wars and Game of Thrones got this right, coincidentally with the same actress. The only thing that actually needs to be done is for some of the characters to be women in the fluff, purely. The actual models can be basically the same, maybe give a woman a different haircut if they expose the head.

I made another Female Stormcast, this one's a bit different than the one to her right.

Idk, the male armor shows an idealized male torso, so it makes sense that a female one would have a... female one?

I think the above examples are great, especially the middle one. If you really wanted to insist on it having a less "masculine" form, then just make it slightly thinner but otherwise keep it the same. And you can make it thinner without accentuating the hips or breasts or adding mid-drift. These really aren't even supposed to have humanity, right? So why would the women be sexualized?
