Necrons don't need a female model. That's just silly.

Maybe a few female gaurdsmen would be nice. A new female commisar...

Robots with boobs? Dumb.

They are robots. Robots don't have genders.

Is there even a picture of a Necrontyr? Were they even humanoid?

**Psienesis**

I don't know of any Necrontyr images, but it would seem to me that the C'Tan would not turn them into humanoid skeletons if they were not already humanoid. They'd be... something else entirely, I think, if they weren't. Robotic crabs or centaurs or something, whatever could be based around their original physiognomy.

Theres no boobs on skeletons.

Sigh, Did I say I wanted boobs on the model - no........... although if it was wanted armour could more closely replicate the original form of the wearer. The Overlords depicted and described certainly seem to spend enough time, effort and rescources into making their present bodies?

Could GW have made a undead female figure - well actually apparently yes - hence the link to Queen Khalida

or even this one:

I just think it was an opportunity missed..........

Although if the Necrons only had one sex that also would been fine and quite interesting in its own way to make them less humans in a metal body...........

What about Keira Knightley?

Little harsh perhaps ? I think she is atttractive.........

Meh, first give me my female Commissars and guard, then we'll talk.

**Durza**

Who's to say female Necrontyr existed or had boobs anyway?

Is she able to find the mess tent?

I think your problem is that you're drawing a direct link between Necrons and Tomb Kings, and that whatever Tomb Kings has, Necrons MUST have a Tomb Kings equivalent, including a female HQ, otherwise it would invalidate their Tomb Kings in Space feel.

Well, no matter how much Necrons are Tomb Kings in Space, they dont actually have to be. Because they're not.

**Agent_Tremolo**

I don't recall having seen female Daleks either

Yeah, English is a gender-biased language that way...

Frankly, if I did have a necron army, I'd make a Necron Lady as opposed to lord, but not make any different on the model. Just a lore thing.

**Platuan4th**

Female 'Crons, eh?

**DPBellathrom**

why must each topic like this end up about boobs :3

I agree, it would have been cool to see a necron queen in the fluff but oh well :/ also I cant see why a necron queen wouldnt reshape her bodey to a form more pleasing to herself seeing as necrons have feelings now :/

**spiralingcadaver**

?

**Psienesis**

Nice model, and nice drawing.

Again slightly off-topic, if anyone knows any good figs sites off the beaten path of these here intertubes that have cyborg/robotic females, I'm looking for one for my DH game. The Armorcast fig listed previously is pretty good, but impossible to find on AC's website at least. Reaper and Hasslefree don't really have what I'm looking for (not for this specific character, anyway), and GW itself... well... it's GW and I am looking for human female models.

**Blobpie**

i think we can assume that the necrons didn't have different genders.

And with them being alien and all, i don't see a problem with that.

Okay, more seriously:

They always ened in some-one being called a perv and mods throwing their weight around *ducks modly wrath*

so long as boobs aren't the main focus, that would be amusing lol.

**Adam LongWalker**

Was wondering when the Lolcrons were coming into this thread.

**Prawnkus**

I guess since they're robot skeletons, you could give one a larger pelvis... but I'm not a 'cron expert.

**junk**

Based on Ward's treatment of the Sisters, it may not be a far stretch to assume he's a misogynist. Khornate Knights anyone?

**Psienesis**

Eh, I think I would need more than a single example of Sisters being killed in an extremely bloody, grimdark setting where everyone is likely to die horribly to call someone a misogynist.

**Grey Templar**

junk wrote:Based on Ward's treatment of the Sisters, it may not be a far stretch to assume he's a misogynist. Khornate Knights anyone?

Ward is hardly the first person at GW to use the Sisters as a punching bag. its a general theme throughout all the fluff, even the Sister fluff has them getting wiped out.

Smurfs are the Poster Boys, Sisters are the punching bag. Its a vicious system, but them's the breaks.

**zeshin**

Seriously, I'm confused. What part of a stylized 28mm skeleton defines gender? There is nothing on the Necron models to imply they are male or female, or Pat.

**King Pariah**

If you want it, make it.

Well I feel GW did a damn good job of making them Tomb Kings in Spaaaaaceeee which is not a major problem and kind of builds on previous work if loosing some of the uniqueness of their situation. Not having a "female" HQ does not invalidate them - just makes them IMO a bit less interesting - One of the the special characters made for the present Codex could easily have been made female without causing any issues and making a cooler Overlord model than the present ones.

Personally its not about need just what is cool - which to me is what 40K is all about

That was my thought - however apparently I was just demanding skeletons with boobs.........

**Melissia**

Because there's a lot of boys on this forum and very few men.

And not enough boyz.

In response... do you see anything gender specific on any of the warriors?

They are robots... none of them care for gender equality... they are soulless
