Now THAT'S how you make a good female character! No "combat stilettos", over-sized breasts, skin-tight outfit or silly pose.

I love that model - realistic and bad-ass!!! Cudos to Prodos and the sculptor - keep up the amazing work!

What's wrong with Stilettos, big boobs and skin tight clothing?

NOTHING (in MY book)

Sure, as far as fashion and physical qualities you perceive as beautiful. But in a COMBAT situation such things are, if you look at it in a realistic way, laughable. I get that this is a ficitional universe, but seeing female characters only through such a sexualized view (while at the same time not sculpting giant crotches on males etc.) just reinforces objectifying of women. And it's a breath of fresh air that companies like Prodos don't cater to that old view ("our target audience are nerdy, immature males who want boobs on ther figures").

Again, I think it's all about the context and a Bauhaus officer shouldn't wear high heels etc.

Ugh, let's not have this discussion here as well...

Let's instead rejoice in the fact that we made it to 50K today  ;D (And I'm guessing we'll get our boob quota fulfilled with Golgotha coming up)

Shouldn't one of those Mortificators be female?

On the subject of sexy combat women...I love boobs and sexiness.
But I don't think they'd be running around with large unarmored parts of their anatomy all exposed.
That's one of the things that I did not like about the second Blessed Vestal Laura sculpt.
The large 'cleavage window' made no sense for protection reasons and that she's basically a nun.


I seem to recall something about the Etoiles Mortants all being sterile or infertile. Since they couldn't give any children to serve the Corporation, this was how they 'gave back'. Or something like that. I'm not sure where I saw that, but it was probably in Warzone 1st Ed rulebook, the comic books or the Bauhaus book for the RPG.

In the RPG (1st ed at least), there were both male and female etoiles. Sounds like WZ 2nd ed, where they changed some of the fluff.

I wish they had some mixed gender units like the original game.  It was so nice to have mixed gender units.  However, I will settle for a variety of poses.

What mixed gender units are you referring to?

I got fed up of that on the dakka forum as well also going on about KickStarters rather than talking about the characters

Yes, it really feels like we will reach the goal of 70K to get plastic minis and shoulder pads/helmets to the undead legionnaires.
