Most likely to see them in Juves first according to the designer I spoke to.

Maybe the fluff is loving dumb?

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.

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.

WTF is it with all the GW apologists recently?

GW 'apologists' aren't actually a thing on SA. There's people who like GW products and complain about legitimate grievances, and then there's the pathological sadbrains who can't shut up about GW being some sort of physical embodiment of evil, and soil every tangentially related thread with their lackwit werreting.

See this example:

Or, and consider this for a second, maybe they have a reasonable and not particularly controversial point, one faction and only one faction having women is exactly tokenism like they said, and you are having a hysterical meltdown over someone having a different opinion of one aspect of toy army mans from a widely acknowledged Bad Company, and you need to stop following them around screaming and flailing wildly because it makes you look like a loving mentalist. I mean, I'm just thinking out loud here.
Wherein he's prattling on about how the evil 'Bad Company' is indulging in tokenism in a game where 50% of the released models are women.

I can't be bothered to get a smooth solid colour here, here, or here. Now let me spend hours painting this mural. Oh, now I'm bored with that as well. Sod finishing the wings, I'll just do the tits.

Flash gits (of which typically tend to be from the Bad Moon tribe) is a British perjorative for anyone who flaunts their wealth. Think Essex wideboys, “loadsamoney,” “considerably richer than yao”. It’s not a race thing, it’s an economic/social class thing, dating from the 80s, and we’ve always been OK with that in Britain. I have a “loadsateef” clan I’m slowly working on - base colour is red though as eff trying to do yellow.

Yeah, it's loving weird to overlay race onto the Orks. They are really specific versions of British societal dregs from the 80s and 90s. From football hooligans to Essex boys. Combat 18 style Neo Nazis, and Boy Racers through to Braveheart Neds. All wrapped up in the trappings of punk culture.

The ascent of Disco and Blaxsploitation were concurrent. The animal print feels like a big tell that it's copying pimp tropes and not exclusively disco.

It's an Ork in awesome, awful, exaggerated period garb. That's all it is. Have a cup of tea.

EDIT: It's all about context. You don't punch a Shingon Buddhist in the face for "wearing a swastika."

Yeah, I'd assume the majority of people would think it was just yet another skull and crossbones and not recognize it as a nazi symbol.


The context is a wargaming hobby. That combined with the fact it really isn't a traditional skull & crossbones and we're well into the realm of looking and quacking like a duck.

I honestly thought they'd say "woah we didn't realise what that was, no offense". Maybe a thanks for the heads up at most. Not pissy defensiveness.

the fact that it’s coincidentally placed on a red and white shield further calls into question that defense

What does red and white signify? I'm not particularly au fait with white supremacist symbology

This one just looks like the skull has hosed up little deformed feet on the side of it's head.

Considering they spent centuries working on variations of the skull and crossbones, they were terrible at drawing them.

I fully want to talk about this stupid bullshit on the show. Maybe even do some dramatic readings in my Reece voice.

I am 100% down to clown on this dumb piece of poo poo.

Please be sure to give me an appropriately lovely voice when you read my instigating post. If possible, both sweaty and breathy.

They still have some resin models I believe, but it is definitely being phased out. The only new resin models Citadel make are occasional limited edition items.

the scrotum kinda kills it for me. but i'd still replace that metal cannon with the more suitable candidate from the pyrovore kit



Do you know if that's a GW paintjob? That's the best version of that scheme I think I've seen.
