Well, I am fairly new to eldar, but it seems that alot of Farseer are woman (not that that is bad). IN DoW, Dow2 and a couple books and some fan stories. I know, i am a noob, but does anyone know a farseer that is a guy? I'm just being curious.

Eldrads a male and both models for Farseers in existence are male, or well as male as adrogynous space elves get.

P.M. me for rational Eldar Advice, both on list construction or Tactics.

Also feel free to query me about rules from the Eldar and Space Marine codices, as well as the General Rule book.

But they can't sparkle unless they're female. Only David Bowie is allowed to sparkle as a male.

Well, the old 2E Farseer was male, as was Farseer "bullwinkle".

No, but they are all Eldar. So some say it's close.

Farseers are crotchity old dudes who have seen gak that would make you break down and eat pieces of your own flesh while singing nonsense. The energies of the warp are mastered through centuries of practice and immense concentration.

Lacking that, apparently double D's work.

They are only female for fanservice. They don't have to be.

Not necessarily... I have the model here right now, and it doesn't look remotely "female" to me...

Well, my take is that they're wearing way too much for anyone to say for certain what their sex is.

They would need to be *extremely* well endowed, for it to show through all those robes and decorations...

I for one, vote for the 'Tomb Raider' theory. In the video game (as well as the books), sex sells.

Oh please, you can't even see that much detail. The only people who buy video games for the girls in it are 12-year-olds who haven't got any hair anywhere other than their head.

People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made.

As true as that might be, I also think she's the most badass Farseer in any of the DoW

but that's just my opinion

Congratulations, your dismissive and conclusory commentary has provided nothing to this discussion or the wider community on whose behalf you arrogantly presume to speak nor does it engage in any meaningful way the remark it lamely targets. But you did manage to gain experience points toward your next level of internet tough guy.

Thats funny because I just read an article in a game informer, that said the last tomb raider game sold so badly, that they are "remaking" lara in hopes of it selling better next time. WEIRD
