Sweet. Good luck making the hobby your own, guys.

  Damn shame a cartoon hottie like her is carrying a plasma gun....she'll most likely die in her first battle.

The fluff really says half of all cadians are female? Man the cadians are dumb....one good war and their reproductive capability is zapped. Good bye Cadian society!

I hate to be the one to break this to you but you need men to make babies too

 

One man can impregnate a 100 women. Either the fun way or the not so fun way....but 1 woman can only bear a child once a year. So a society needs women to replenish its population after times of social devastation, like wars etc.

Sounds like a ponzi scheme

Congrats on the greenlight.

And to replenish the population, I offer all your wimmenz my handkerchief.

Nuh Uh. Jester cleaned out your underwear drawer, remember? He got the magazines too.

Interesting thought there though -- the reason we don't see too many (any?) armies with a high female participation rate, could be because back in the day those tribes were selected against, because they couldn't recover numbers as quick as those that didn't.

I can justify female Cadians though, because they probably just repopulate the planet from the rest of the system every crusade or so as a free action, so they may as well have double guns.

Double guns!

No berets please. Unless you are talking about a completely different project. female cadians should be as close to the GW kits as possible.

We need

A 'face' to go with the plastic empty helmet. But not too many as you dont get many empty helmets to fill.
At least two head variants preferably a third.

Two torsos

arms and legs if we can get them. Legs are more important female arms in combat jackets looks like mens (only a little shorter - and we can resize them easily ourselves.).

'Limited' extras

Cadian officer torso
Cadian officer head with cap
Heavy weapons crew poses - which could be as little as one kneeling legs pose.

Come on not again, look at any military woman in the service today with a flak vest on, just buy some amazon heads from the Mordheim range "problem" solved!

MR.B

Yes! You have to nuke it from orbit, just to be sure.

But just think of the potential recuriting campaign the Army could do if women wore the Kevlar Bustier and Ceramic "chest plate."

The amazon heads are a bit too small to look proper on the cadians.  I mean the cadian fist is the size of the head. 

For anyone looking for berets, try West Wind Productions 28mm WWII Seperate Head System.  I did a mini-review here.  Apologies in advance for the blurry camera work.

 

That art looks nice, just like the girl from Starcraft: Ghost (penny arcade's rendition at least). I have a hard time imagining when some cartoon females are supposed to be hot, unlike some of you , but if she's supposed to be anything like Blizz's model then I agree. Bonus guy standing next to her feeling uncomfortable.

Anyone ever seen a Female in a flak Jacket and a Kevlar...In a combat zone? I'm an Army Veteran. Ya 'nuff said most of the time they look like men from a distance.

Ever seen a Cadian model?

They're a heck of a lot more solid built then most male soldiers, never mind the female ones. Just slapping a female head on them would look ridiculous.

A female version doesn't have to be a playboy pin-up. It just needs to have slightly more realistic proportions for a female... which for me would mean shorter and more slightly built.

MR. B,

Seriously, your negativity is rather unfounded. The name of the topic is, "would anyone be interested in.....", not, "let's try to think of ways to be a troll."

You have stated your opinion, you aren't interested. That's great. Everyone else here is interested.

There is no point in coming in here and trolling or baiting anyone into a flamewar. If you don't agree with molding plastic cadian female pieces and have nothing else useful to add to the conversation, then just don't post.

Alright folks its fixed no more from me on the Playboy Cadians....!

Sorry about my "Unfounded Neativity".......and "trolling"

I don't think he was trolling at all. He was just letting us know that women in uniform don't look much different from men in uniform, and that's fair.

That's probably because you didn't see the rest of his post before he edited it out...

Alright already folks its a game....thats all Im going to say....

You guys keep bringing it up its just going to keep bouncing around so...

No woman in the 41st millennium is that cute.  Even the Sisters of Battle who are somewhat easy on the eye have a harsh, dominatrix look.  Eschers are close, but they are not that cute.

I member this one time I went to Montreal and the Cadian wimmins were hawt!!  I think they were strippers tho.

Mr. B.

Let it go. This thread is for people that are "interested in making female cadians a reality." Your realistic women in flak jackets, and our cute cadian babes in goggles can exist in the same universe.

You said it yourself, it is only a game. You apologized and edited your post, which is commendable, but you continue to dredge the subject along. THAT is trolling.

Let it go.

Alright  whitedragon

I cant win.....keep it real!

How many are in so far?

I am in, could you also sen t me the information as well?

PM Sent

Twenty-Nine people have joined in so far.

I think I'm interested now. I just realized that my hot Anime Tau army with Mechas won't be complete without some hawt anime boobiez. Can you PM me the info to join in and any relevant info to dissuade the skeptical/pragmatic side of me that keeps thinking this is a bit shady and how do I know I won't get jipped? Thanks.

Also, you said the model won't be as busty as the female inquisitor, but is it busty enough for anime robot-pilot-jockeys?

Now this is on a first come first served basis yes? Frankly I am in no hurry. As the casting will take place after the payment deadline, and appears to be a one off permission by GW, wont it make sense to take a bit more time and get it real good.

I would rather wait longer and get more options than get my 25-30x torso and two heads now now now. What do others think?

PM sent to stonefox.

Orlanth, we've got enough people on board that we will be doing more then just a torso and a pair of heads. I'll be announcing the full details to those who join up on the 27th, the day after the deadline.

Hey Doc,

Looking forward to hearing what the plan is. Are we going to get a change to discuss which pieces we'd like made, or are you going to make an executive decision?

I didn't see this addressed, and my apologies if it already has been, but what if after I throw in my $40, I see the end result, and think they suck? (I'm picky.)  I feel that either way, it's a sound investment - contributing to the community and all, but would it raise IP alarms if I went on to sell my sets to someone who wanted them?

Regarding heads, I'd like to direct your attention to Hasslefree Miniatures' "Human Female Heads" (click the pics):

I might be in - could you send me a PM?
