Have you ever seen an ugly or flat chick in any 40k artwork, ever? Seems like they are all pretty bodacious to me.

You should look at more Blanche, Silver. Blanche's art is full of ugly people.

Blanche defined the aesthetic of 40k, supposedly. Part of me wishes that his modern successors remembered that.

Then I remember that I can only take his work in small doses, and that his fetish for high heels pisses me off. ><

Besides, I think this is pretty hot;



Of course, your mileage may vary.

You can't really say that 'posters have sex appeal because they're aimed at men with the porn element' - the 'porn element' is based in what people consider attractive, not the other way around!

I think a better example would be the way beauty is viewed in, say, rural Korea, where the beautiful women have powerful builds, large muscles and wide hips for working the fields and bearing children.

Correctly trained, poodles win dogfights too. >> They are hunting dogs.

You're assuming that's a helmet? :p

There is a eugenics program, now I think about it, to improve the breeding stock of Imperial nobles - governors and nobility and the like. It's run by the Orders Famulous of the Adepta Sororitas, who make sure that the important people they're assigned to make the right arranged marriages and fall in love with the right people otherwise.

It's got nothing to do with the political stability of the nobility, it's about retaining control and putting the people the church wants in charge there. It's about aggrandising pure humanity and weeding out negative traits.

Well, that's because Dark Heresy authors hate the Sisterhood.
