You know, space marines arnt exactly proportioned properly. Dont like it, dont buy it. Personally I like the big boobs on a dinosaur. Bring it on.
The tail reminds me of a dinosaur that has a similar spike pattern on its back. +1 to Mike for adding this detail. Without it it would just be another lizard steed.
My negative? Needs a bigger gun.

Nah, she should have some form of CC weapon, though. A Far West cavalry saber would be neat.

This is the hobby, women are objects of fantasy for men, as men are, in their own way, fantasies for women, accept it or withdraw from the scene (This comment isn't aimed directly at Chibi Bodge-Battle), I say when you step to the gaming table or the painting table, leave PC at the door and enjoy your fantasy without feeling dirty or ashamed. If you're a male, enjoy the enhanced female form, hell, women do or there wouldn't be such an increase in breast implants.....would there! I personally see no nreed for enhancement to the female form to appreciate women. Prefer them as they already are thank you kindly. If you require naff looking breasts that is your business. Afaik I am entitled to an opinion on the subject which is informed by an artistic background and time spent in the Life Class Studio. The distortions of form that I object to are based primarily on an incredible lack of draughtsmanship. It is not size that is ultimately the thing i despise. Nor do I give a fig if this is fantasy or no. However, you seem to be conflating fantasy as sexual prediliction with fantasy as an ouvre. I could suggest you leave your pecadilloes at home and refrain from despoiling the gaming table, but unlike yourself am not prone to proseletysing. Ask yourself why women have breast implants. There are various reasons. Why do sculptors obsess with the grossly exaggerated and ultimately dehumanising enhancements? As for being a Police Constable, I have no idea what you are on about.

...I have no idea what you just said.
Also, I feel it worth mentioning that I showed this model to a girl I know, wanting to hear her opinion on it. She thought it was awesome, and not only that but linked me to an example of what she personally thought was sexually objectifying women (someone's slightly sexist portrayal of Mary Jane from Spider-Man). She also agreed that it goes both ways, in miniatures, comic books, etc.
Yeah I know, it's one girl's opinion and doesn't really prove anything, I was just really curious about this whole thing and wanted to hear what a girl thought about it.

Mind the sculptor is not to blame  If a concept artist makes some walking boobs, the miniature company aproves it, the sculptor sculpts what he is instructed to sculpt, the walking boobinator sells bazillions of units... is it a sculptor obsession? Or rather a market demand and a publisher exploit of that demand?

It's a shame Studio McVey does the limited edition thing. If not for that - or just casting X in high quality resin, then switching to metal like he's doing for Sedition Wars, I would be far more inclined to support his business.

Alright, we can disagree without getting so worked up as to violate Rule Number One, right? Maybe walk away from the computer and gather your thoughts a bit before discussing. The boobies will still be here.

Any information on a figure of Ruby without the dinosaur, or the dinosaur without a rider?
I'd really be interested in buyng either/ or for some cav models. Her, I can see changing out the weapons for pistols, or using her as a caster for Warmachine.

At Games Workshop, we believe that how you behave does matter. We believe this so strongly that we have written it down in the Games Workshop Book. There is a section in the book where we talk about the values we expect all staff to demonstrate in their working lives. These values are Lawyers, Guns and Money. |

In honesty, I really want that darn cool surf boarding girl with a pistol they released a while back.
Just sayin'
As I said previously in this thread I do like this new miniature, but I gotta say, now someone pointed it out, those legs do seem a tad long!
