I'd ask about the wisdom of sending out such a long survey with so many open questions only to verify that everyone plays Space Marines, buuut it's GW.

Hey JcDent I'd like to ask that you stop posting garbage memes in this thread because a good half of your posts are about either how much you jack off to titty minis or how owned cucks are or similarly pathetic poo poo

ASK ME ABOUT HOW SCOTLAND'S PROPOSED TRANS LEGISLATION IS DIVISIVE AS HELL BECAUSE IT IS SO SWEEPING THAT IT COULD BE POTENTIALLY ABUSED AT A TIME WHERE THE LACK OF SAFETY FOR WOMEN HAS BEEN SO GLARING

:agreed:

I was kinda disappointed that GW kept the single gender factions in Necromunda. I always loved the Escher cyber punk aesthetic but wasn't keen that they are all female for some reason. Meanwhile no other gang of desperate survivors clawing out their daily survival in this lethal toxic environment is willing to give a single girl a weapon.

Why?

Wouldn't a few punk guys with glam rock hair do's look good? Or a big tough lady Goliath? How about a badass woman wearing a bandanna and rocking a big machine gun? I literally just described Vasquez from Aliens. She is straight up an Orlock Heavy.

Male Escher gangers makes gently caress all sense in the fluff. Every re-imagined gang has concept art for women gangers.

I can't remember the fluff behind the Escher from the 90's and haven't read any of the new version stuff. Where do little Eschers come from if there are no men? IVF? Cradle snatching? Also, why?

Nice to hear there are females in concept art, any idea when they might get sculpts?

House Esher keeps it's male members (heh) around solely for breeding purposes, while Esher gangs strictly only recruit women in keeping with their sponsor's matriarchal worldview.

Supposedly from the next gang (Van Saar) onwards the gangs are gonna be mixed gender, rumours I've heard is that Orlock was already done by the time they decided to diversify the gangs, but they may receive resin lady gangers.

Can we complain about this in equal measure to complaints about space marines being all men, or do they cancel each other out?

No it's p good actually in this case.

Male Eschers make as much sense as hairy Delaques. (Except for the old one with a pompador.)

Every faction could have the same fluff, units, models and rules. No one would play that game though.

There's nothing inherently wrong with factions having distinct and clearly defined differences. There's nothing inherently wrong with a faction represented on the table by a single gender.

Escher itself isn't a problem. The problem is that aside from the all-girls faction, there aren't any girl models. Apparently GW is going to fix this, so it's less of a problem. But until those models are available, pointing out that the game lacks diversity is fair.

Yeah, the game where exactly one third of the range revealed so far (and half the models in the box) is women, and not creepy cheesecake women at that, is a fair target for diversity criticism. In this hobby. Totes.
