Saying that some boobie miniatures is bad is not the same as saying entire 40k/violent tabletop miniature wargames are bad.

Also, everybody knows that the current daemonette sculpts are super bad and diaznettes are the ideal.

Cool, so you had no interest in a good faith conversation and are here specifically to troll. Good to know I don't need to continue this any further.

Actually I think I illustrated the flaw in your argument and then gave you a free business idea.

All I ask is a ten percent stake in sales of Genderstealers, Xe-crons and Warbossnotbossy.

But why don't you test your theory. Make your own game: Non-Threatening Utensil 40k, in which players can use gender-neutral models to role-play peaceful exchanges and diplomacy between different Collectives of friendly xenos carefully calculated to teach the right sorts of lessons to kids of all ages.

That way people who like chaos sex daemons and interstellar murder can have their game and you can have yours.

You are perfectly welcome to start your own Artistic Titty Miniatures Appreciation thread and wax poetic about the subtle highlights on dick demons all you want. This thread is about bad (or sometimes extra awesome) minis.

I'm not particularly into titty-figures or dick-demons but some of them are awesome and hilarious and I'm not a 17th century puritan who wants to melt them in fire.

There's very little about them that is overtly sexual. Compare this to boob armor, skimpy clothes and string bikinis, and absurd hips and bust sizes, plus poses that emphasize those assets.

They teach young men and boys from an early age that this is how women are supposed to be portrayed. We've normalized the fact that women aren't supposed to be depicted the same or valued for the same reasons as men.

You're literally getting mad that toy models are too sexy, to you. What the gently caress does a daemonette even need armor for? It doesn't give a poo poo if it gets hurt. In fact, it wants to get hurt. Tell a daemonette she needs full plate mail just like astartes because otherwise other demons will look at her lustfully and teach nurglings to that it's okay to only have one breast exposed and wear leather bustiers in battle.

Let's not even get started on Zarakynel.

Also, I don't think you understand the meaning of the word same.

If anything, the worst thing about daemonettes is their current faces.

I guess outside of Asian MMOs, the biggest differences in female vs. male armor is probably in infinity, since they mix genders in units. Although anything ARM 2 and above is usually fully clad in armor, so you only get poses and boobplate maybe.

At ARM 1 and ARM 0 you're basically arguing about the importance of battle sweaters.

Ed: that Warthog camo would work wonders on eldar/harlequin.

Why do people in this thread hate boobs so much?

Warhammer 40k�s whole aesthetic is OTT pulpy/body-horror/H.R Giger-esque weirdness. Tits are totally appropriate.

Some of the titified conversions are hilariously silly and personally I wouldn�t buy a model that was hanging tit because I like a tiny bit of realism in my weird fantasy models.

But tits certainly aren�t bad or evil or even out of place in a 40k aesthetic.

Its kinda a symptom of the darker and edgier direction they've taken it.

Like boobs were fine when eldar were glam-rockers and poo poo but these days it takes itself too seriously.

Wild Wild West came out something like 20 years ago, he not only acted in but sang the theme song but I'm pretty sure this was actually in it. I can only conclude that Will Smith is setting trends for wargaming but the studio pipeline at GW is now so long that we only just got this.
