GW News: Combat phase in #NewAoS

That is true - 40K still at least has potential for new Xenos factions to appear. I forgot about the GC rebirth, which was a great move. Indeed those Spindle-Drones they released with Blackstone Fortress could have been front and centre of the opposing forces like in Deathwatch Overkill with an entire faction based around them, and they could have used that to introduce us to a brand new faction, if they hadn't been so deluded in thinking that Imperium vs Chaos should continually be advertised. Instead we got what I certainly think is a pretty awful boxed game, even with the unusual and interesting quest heroes. So much potential that was thoroughly wasted.

Time for a homebrew:

 

New Stormcast model!



She’s to be made available only at store openings. Is it me, or does the angle make her face look a bit... odd?

 

Nah she just has an ugly face

 

Looks like she just shit herself or is in the process of doing so.

 

That face reminds me a bit too much of a porcelain doll with a hint of Chucky. It's likely because of the cheeks and forehead.

 

Just as ugly as irrelevant.

 

To me she looks a bit chubby about the cheeks, as if she had one Azyr pie too many...

 

Sculpted six-pack abs. I think that might be what bugs me the most about every SCE infantry model.

 

hey. Hey! You stop that. She worked hard for that storm cast body

 

To be honest, the boobs on the chestplate look worse. It just looks like the chestplate has a random dent in it. At least the abs look like intended embellishment.

 

Maybe it is just the armor that has abs
And there is a fat belly squished inside

Gr, Imrahil

[Edit] that explains the face

 

Can confirm this. *Cough*Empire State Troops*cough*

 

Compared to what? Worse than what?

 

Where are the enormously over-sized shoulder pads that would severely restrict any and all movement?

 

Compared to the abs yeah. It just looks like a massive dent instead of stylized armour like in @Aginor 's example. I think what bothers me is that one the one hand it's very very pronounced, and kinda breaks the flow of the rest of the breastplate while on the other hand it's not very stylized. So it ends up a weird hybrid between the style of heavily stylized breast armour (like adeptus sorerita) and the (slightly) more realistic style like this:

where you just have a more pronounced chest, but you don't have breasts popping out of the plate like in the stylizid version.

Also for bonus points a genuine stylized female suit of armor.
