Neither do nuns in power-armored corsets, what's your point?

Good thing the Sisters don't look like nuns. Their armor, though stylized in ways which I don't particularly like (yes, I do have issues with the Sisters miniatures, the corsets, the boob-cups, the garter belts, and other crap), they are undeniably wearing actual ARMOR.

Definitely would love to see some more female IG (we've gotten like 2 since Rogue Trader) but I see the issue with making them in plastic. You can't just do heads and torsos you'd need to do arms as well, probably legs. Elfs can get away with it since they're all skinny and androginous but not with IG. So you need to do a sprue of just women. Still no excuse for GW not doing some in metal.

That is an extremely incongruous statement and makes no sense whatsoever.

In a male-targetted game, where the majority of the armies are clearly men, it is highly unlikely for GW to release a second full female army since we already have an army which is already completely female, it makes little sense in peddling models/ making new moulds etc. just to please gamers who want to collect all female armies when we already have one that exists.

Not for long...I'm already thinking of the next scehduled price rise.

They are currently £12, if you have a time machine or can see into the future, i'd like to consult you on the next numbers for the lottery draw

And males enjoy looking at females, yes?

Well, most of them.

Regardless, I asked for female IG, not a complete unique regiment of females. IE, something like a squad of female Cadians.



Also, GW's already officially announced the price changes. Go read the threads in pretty much EVERY 40k forum.

+1 for a Mordian/Praetorian option.

I've been wanting a Praetorion army for quite some time (years),but being all metal puts me off.

The new Catachan are nicer looking now then some of the older models but the point still remains that they do not have a uniformed look, however they are great for making Orlocks or hive scum for Necromunda.

I'd be keen for the Mordians to come out in plastic. Valhallans and Steel Legion would be good too.

New Plastic IG? True greatcoats (i.e. new Valhallan) would be nice - simplify the plastic DKOK stuff.

Tho I'd really like Tallarn, as that'd require a new Codex with proper Light Infantry platoons.

Ratlings, Ogryn and Mordians.Thats what i wanna see.

Steel Legion for sure.

I like the idea of an all-female guard army. But maybe with a new uniform and not the standard IG look.
