No, they don't have boob-plate.

I mean, clearly, space wolves dont need to drape their TDA in fur cloaks to stay warm, as a paralell sillyness.

Except "boob-plate" actually creates a disadvantage, while wolf skins don't.

the curvature actually funnels any incoming attacks into the center of the chest, making the armor weaker there. So it makes the wearer more vulnerable.

I suppose you are right, however, this is a warrior that chose to go without helmet, so one might say the boobplate draw attention away from the vulnerable head.
Or the armour is actually reinforced with even sturdier alloys at the center of the chestplate.
And while im at it, some of the wolf pelts actually cover up the vents at the back of the TDA, most likely a nightmare in armour maintenance that even the most lowly aprentice adepts of the mechanicum know about.

The arguments and "common sense" can go on and on forever.

Anyone who has ever been swordfighting at some level will tell you that wearing a cape or having long hair, untied or even a charm dangling from your clothes can be exploited to some effect
by any able fighter. Space wolves would have a hard time fighting any other marine if realism was to be considered.....

I like this. It's better than I can do, that's for certain. I think the extra ribbing on the breasts makes them look larger than they actually are. Flattening the ribbing might make them look a bit better. And really, the breasts aren't out of proportion to the armor. They might be out of proportion to the person inside the armor, but that doesn't matter since they are just decorative embellishments on the TDA, not her actual brasiere.

Yor painting is good, but as has been said before, your highlight are a little wide in palces.

Overall, I approve of this model. Yes, its a female Spess Murheen, but it was a commissioned piece. You are not responsible for what the customer wants to see.

Boobs on armor are for sthetical purpose only, just like nipple armor or big eyes of chaos in the chest...

Also, we are talking about 40k technology, each technoseer know that what is important is to please the machine spirit, not this "techno bauble" about "creating weak points" or "tunneling incoming attacks". That is xeno heresy...

Great model, i liked it and actually it made me think about using similar conversions for my Sisters of Battle celestians (or maybe allies counting as celestians, i dont know). But the boobs are to big and separate.

Thanks for all the comments and critiques guys.

I'm about to start my next commission piece, some crimson fists bike squad and captain (no females here, all fluff all the time!), i'll post up when I'm done!

I must admit, I think she is brilliant. The boobs should be big, and male space marines have shoulder pads much larger than their shoulders. So why can't the girls have their own 'assets' covered in such a manner.

Good effort.

The images aren't loading... I'm dying to see this model!!
