Well I've already got her, the crew and 2 of those little melee arc nod jack things

Think Horned ladies is a better description then horny though :O

My brother uses Scarre teir and its scary.

It must be tough for a mini manufacturer when you have to cover all stereotypes to sell female minis to a mainly male market

I don't think I'll ever get the thing with the Thigh high boots and the miniskirt/thong O_o

On that topic, I've always vaguely wondered how thigh high boots are supposed to work. I mean, you have to bend your knees to walk... either they're made flexible somehow or walking would be downright impossible.

I imagine walking in them is somewhat difficult in them yeah. I mean you can get them in real life so you must actually be able to walk, but It probably does inhibit movement a little haha.

It depends on the material, but unless its something super soft like lycra, then you generally just have to get used to not bending at the knee much.
Its like a corset for the leg O_o and those don't bend much either!

I don't want to drag this thread any further off topic, so I'm going to just make one more observation and then let it run its course.

Here's a very amusing comic related to the whole male/female armor disparity thing.

They do make it harder to walk, but it is still very possible. Generally the part of the boot around the knee and up is a different piece of material and isn't as tight to the skin as the area below the knee so the person wearing them can still walk.

The thing I always remember is an armourer talking about how breastplates are meant to take an impact and distribute it over an area, so what the moulded cleavage on boobplate would actually do is focus the force into a point on your sternum, shattering it and sending shards of it into your lungs and heart.

I like how they seem to have been trying hard to add cool women to the troll range lately, and it looks like there will be more in a while based on the spoiler art. It's definitely a cool thing about Warmachine/Hordes, even if it's not perfect.

And Calandra's model rules.

I love how off-topic this thread has gotten, actually.

Aprilmanha: did you change your mind about not playing as much? I tend to go through the same sort of dilemma when it comes to picking up games (thanks in part to social anxiety and GID). But! the new Riven Bonds rules have me thinking of the game more like an RPG, which is awesome!

plus, I got some awesome encouragement from the dakka dudes about not psyching myself out.

I'm going to stop playing for a while I think, I've got a couple of w40K games in the next 2 weeks that I'm obliged to do (we have been doing a tale of 4 gamers thing and its coming to an end, which I actually started hoping it would make W40K more fun again... and then one person chose to do eldar and a waveserpent spam), but after those I'm calling it on Club wargaming. I'll still go along for the evening and do some painting or play some card games of board games.

Warmahordes I don't know well enough to do Pugs I think, and I quickly get crushed without really knowing what's happening... At least with w40k I've played so long I know all the rules by heart up until the tweaks to the most recent 7th ed codexes.

Its not just that though, with a few exceptions I have had the worst run of bad dice luck all year and its just sucked the fun out of it. It was funny at first and I was happy to laugh about it, but 6 months on and still rolling 4 ones with 4 dice in a go (that was last week) I'm just getting tired of it. Plus the limited amount I can even play, Plus the worry of travelling to a place to play, Plus the worry of meeting people who I don't know very well, etc etc, I usually come away less happy than when I started the evening.

I'm sure after a 6 month rest, to just hang out and paint rather then play, I will have perked back up again and be more interested in playing again (or drifted away totally and do something else) plus I might have made some closer friends by then I can invite to my house to play rather then travelling to a club for Pugs.

I've got enough wave serpents to do wave serpent spam (Eldar is my main 10k+ 40k army), but my analysis of 40k is:
1. Wave Serpent Spam makes it boring for my opponent ahead of the game in the same way I feel about the Hell Chicken.
2. I don't actually win games with Serpent Spam, I'm just left loosing with fewer Eldar lives extinguished.
3. The dice know I hate 40k so the dice will make me kill stuff I don't need to against all odds, but will roll horribly on the critical stuff like enemy HQ, key units, and objectives (I HATE random objectives).

Warmahordes I like a lot more. The dice know it as well and I tend to roll with an average attention from Oponn. But I do agree, PUGing Warmahordes is something I'd be hardpressed to do as well, it's a very knowledge intensive game where 40k allows you to mess up (because the rules don't actually interact all that much with each other).

Stay in there, though, don't give it up completely. It's rewarding when played against people of equal skill (I am a noob and I play with a bunch of noobs, it's fun!)

Omg I'm totally reading Malazan right now omgomgomg!
Also I agree with the not giving up.

Well I said I was going to Kiss-ify her up, and found here in the local game store this weekend.

This is very WIP though

That is so cool. The KISS makeup and tongue just make it great.
