Ha! That made me giggle

In all seriousness though (and I get the impression this will be regarded as blasphemy by many...) i'm not a big fan of John Blanches artwork... I really started getting into it after 3rd ed. and all the new artwork (the watercolour/pen and ink looking stuff) i think is absolutely incredible.

*hides*

I'm pretty sure that hot chicks (depending on the picture) running around in Power Armour with heavy firepower is generally more appealing to men than women...

Also, I like this new orkmoticon

Not blasphemy - a lot of people share that opinion. And it makes sense really: he clearly spent all that time building a time machine when he should have been learning how to draw.

Ah, i'm glad, but it never hurts being a touch cautious lol... He clearly did too, he's done some pretty cool stuff, but it's just a touch comical for my taste.

Not my basis, but one of the qualms yes, you certainly know how to read between the lines there buddy! Kudos to you and your wide-open completely unbiased mind! (To be fair, it shouldn't be expected of a resident of Columbia South Carolina to understand where I am coming from anywho... Can't wait till you blow that one out of proportion as well )

Also-- lesbians? Do you automatically assume any female in the armed forces is a lesbian? Are all male nurses gay?

No, thus the reference to the IG female models. If you know any women in the armed forces that act like the SoB act then you should probably have them lobotomized.

I'm gonna go ahead and attribute this statement to the "inability to read through the lines" from earlier. Again, no problem with WOMEN in the army, but an army of ENTIRELY women is in itself SEXIST. (I'm sure you will get it one day, just obviously, not today)

Fixt, and even with the edit I would be hard-pressed to agree. If you were attempting to target a male market group, you'd probably go with less armor (instead of heavy armor) and a more school-girlish approach. Unless you are referring to the "girls trapped in guys bodies" or the "Silence of the lamb-esque" male market.

Something tells me GW knew exactly what they were doing it, when they did it hopefully they know now the proper course of action.*






*This is possibly the only instance where I will ever admit this... ever! If GW deserves any 'props' it is in their marketing strategy/knowledge

(To be fair, it shouldn't be expected of a resident of Columbia South Carolina to understand where I am coming from anywho... Can't wait till you blow that one out of proportion as well )

Well, shucks, you smart city folk with yer book-learnin sure do got me licked!

So, you're misogynist and automatically assume things about people based on geography.

Neat.

So... how do you feel about female space marines? Or are they an army designed to appeal to homosexuals?

Not mad at all-- just thankful dakka has an "Ignore User" function.

Enjoy being a homophobic regionalist troll-- I won't trouble you any further.

Again dude, I love both the models, the artwork, and the history for the SoB, and i'm a 21yo male who started renting a place at 17... If you don't like them, that's fine, but the kind of mass generalisations you're making are a touch offensive...

..I sure hope the threads about the Dark Eldar codex in a few months are better than this one.
