Oh and (funnily enough) they included mixed gender units if you wanted some female Dwarf bits. While I personally wouldn't have my Dwarves like that, it would be good for a mixed Freeguild regiment since they have that empire aesthetic. Some swordsmen or halberdiers with dwarf men and women mixed in to create the diversity the Freeguild is supposed to have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s why I always take what they say with a grain of salt, and I try to either read between the lines or read the “technical” definition of what’s being said; I’ve learned not to get my hopes up too much with certain releases because GW has both pleasantly surprised or disappointed me in both extremes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are also spear options that would make the basic troop unit a perfect stand-in for Freeguild Guard 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willange Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 GW: Shows female model TGA: *Chaos Spawn Gibbering Noises* Seriously though, we've done this whole topic like 1000 times. Some of the female models look traditionally "pretty" and some don't. Big deal. They're all made-up creatures/species/races that are somehow linked to made-up deities in a made-up world. I don't think they need anymore "make-up" than that (haha see what I did there?) 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mega Gargant is a stunner no doubt. Dad bods are definitely in season now in the mortal realms, can't wait for GW to start releasing Gargant and Ogor firefighter calendars! Also I think the complaints are more that GW's range of female faces is too limited, either they're pretty or they look like men with no in-betweens, could be the paintjobs though as the 'Eavy metal style tends to highlight faces sharply, which makes it look more jagged and masculine. Its important to distinguish that feminine and masculine don't necessarily translate to attractive or unnattractive, and that you can make an unattractive face still look feminine (Troggoth hag is actually a pretty good example of it, even though she's not human). I don't hate the face on the model, but honestly I would describe it as "Almost handsome" as if you put that head on a male model it would fit under kind of attractive. I've (poorly) photoshopped the head onto sigvald here for reference. Edited May 21, 2021 by Ganigumo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Taylor Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 +++ Mod Hat On +++ Just a reminder - this forum is for everybody and that includes gender. Just remember that when you are talking about a new model that GW is showing off and consider what somebody might think about what you are saying. You are welcome to critique things, but use some common sense!!! 8 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoid Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 I love that female Chaos Warrior, don't find her unattractive or anything, she is both cool and attractive for a big badass warrior. I like her design the same I like the female Stormcast Eternals Designs, that body proportion and armor design look so nice to be the standard of new female Chaos Warriors. I don't like that she is limited because I fear about they making the other new warriors intentionally not as cool. My theory is that with the new StD battletome they will remove weapon choices for Chaos Warriors so they can sell you the same ones that are currently in the Start Collecting. I hope im wrong and we see more female armors like this. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a cool looking model for sure, maybe they'll go the way of 'ardboyz, blood knights, and skeletons and only have 1 weapon loadout (with only 1 profile). I kind of like that approach as it limits conversions and proxy/stand-ins less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neverchosen Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 (edited) My only issue with that model is that my painting skills are likely not up to the task and will likely never get one. Beyond that I love it and really like having a mix of mutated Chaos lords mixed with more traditionally human models so this checks all the boxes for me. If anyone takes issue with the face and plays S2D with out a million different helmeted heads I don't know what to tell you. She gives me significantly more hope for unmounted Varanguard. Which is my second most wanted S2D unit after the Hellcannon. 😇 Edited May 21, 2021 by Neverchosen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidrox Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 I think the model looks really cool bar the giant horn growing out of them (never been a fan of that particular chaos attribute). I'm really happy anytime we get more female models. Just wondered. Is there any female orruks or grots? And can we expect any gender diversity in the new 3.0 destruction army/units? I'm aware there's a troggoth hag so not sure if it's out of the question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronHelmet Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 (edited) What someone found in our community. What looks like a rumore engine grenade this time is very much like a castigator bullet. And I thought the hand with the sword was undead, but it looks very similar to the hand of the rumor engine.Do they root weapons of another race?
