Still, GW is rather schizophrenic when it comes to the 'naughty models', so I suppose there's... hope?

Oh I know we won't get anything like the old Demonettes- what I HOPE is no one goes "wait.. models in bikini-like outfits with whips? oh no.. too risque" and we end up with fully robed DE with short blunt sticks or something!

Oh we'll get them.. just like the current models except they are MEN in bikinis and/or halter tops with whips.. Not sure who thought it was modeling genius to give us awfully sculpted elf men in thongs or topless with bondage gear

I hope that they're not involved in DE 2.0.

In fact, I don't think Jes Goodwin would do that to us.

Would he?

You think a one-breasted hermaphrodite in a corset is more sanitary than a naked female?

Hey!

Different strokes for different folks!

No...no...no...no. There's is nothing sanitary about that.

On a side note, I'm not excited like I was a few months ago, and as of right now I'm not interested in picking up more minis. I certainly am interested in getting the codex if nothing else.

I am one of the few I guess that like the new Daemonette models. I feel much more secure having them up on my army display case with my 2 daughters around. Then again I am in the USA so boobs are not as well accepted in the open as I hear they are in europe. I think the Wyches will be much better represented this time around instead of last time....like many others when I did my wych cult I got very tired painting up guys junk....

that's at least 50% less female nudity than the old daemonettes! 83 and 1/3rd % less female nudity if we're talking about the old daemonettes with 6 boobies!

I like the new Daemonette models, but I had no problem with the terrific looking partially nude ones and yes, I am a parent. Nudity by itself does not equate to pornography or sexual situations and if people aren't teaching their children basic human anatomy they're not doing their job as parents to educate their children. If you take your kids to an art museum or they see a nude sculpture at home, if the parents don't make a big deal out of it neither will the kids and they won't grow up all screwed up and uptight about the human body.

Brass I am not going to appoligize for my moral values. You raise your kids your way and I will raise mine my way.

You have to respect the power of a out-of-date army that can provoke morality discussions.

The only thing that stops from me adding a Slannesh detachment onto my Daemon forces is that I only have one box of the old Daemonettes, which I think look MUCH better than the current ones, and it would require a bunch of effort/money to get more of the old ones.

a morality discussion in a DE thread? have you not learned DE are NOT moral in the least. i'm sorta looking forward to this, but sorta not as i like my lord with his 2+ invulnerable save....

Zardoz?

I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.....

What has been seen cannot be unseen.

Ugh.

Guys: one word:

Borat.

Suppose that it may be agin the fluff but the risque Wyches' gear is pants.
Which is more than you can say for what they are, or rather aren't, wearing.

Not a question of political correctness, but of aesthetics. The new design could still give a fetish vibe whislt covering the parts that the pelmets barely reach.

This sounds good news atleast, if harry says so.

If Wyches are gladiators intended to show the level of debauchery in Dark Elf society, then to an extent I think their costumes are appropriate. The are fairly close to our society's debauched gladiators- pro-wrestlers. And they're basically showing off as much skin as they can while still maintaining support and protection for their vulnerable bits. They should titilate without exposing themselves, because full-on exposure makes them vulnerable and more likely to lose their next match.

The big problem with the old wyches wasn't the design for the most part (though the hair was definitely over-the-top) but the execution. The faces are frequently messed up (look at GW's website, in the group wych picture the one in the bottom left corner with her gun gangster-style), their skin is lumpy (remember that wych-butt cheek closeup from that video they made for the last campaign), and the spikes and blades on their armour is just way too big and clumsy. I'm convident that with Jes on plastics many of those problems will be solved.

After so many years of legitimate pleas bouncing off GW's unimaginative, SM-encrusted minds, now when I hear DE news, I can't help but heave a deep sigh of apathy. It's not that I don't believe these rumors. I'm sure we'll see DE before the year is out and they'll be amazing. But the enthusiasm is gone. As a formality, I'll probably buy the codex out of curiosity. If GW is lucky, the new codex will inspire me to purchase their inevitably over-priced product.

haha +1; I mean, I'm only reading this thread because I'm bored at work. Then again, I am anticipating revived interest in these threads when greens / new models start appearing in a month or 3.

Tell me that is not Sean Connery.

Please say it ain't so.

And there are still no pictures. DE are supposed to be getting updated for really real this time, but there's still no proof. Just the same two-year-old pieces of artwork being posted up over and over saying "They might look like this!"

I'm sorry but at this point I need a little more than someone's word.

The incoming email for November should arrive in a month or so. I guess you'll have GW's word then (maybe).

Nah, a lot of people will ignore it, or chalk it up to another lie on top of the mountain of lies.

They won't be able to at that point!
