She is so kicking ass that her boots got stuck there

I so now want to model a SM w/ Lillith's boot up his bum. Or maybe an objective marker, "Lillith's Boots".

Been trying to follow the thread since page 1 and I am not sure I have seen anyone clarify the new(ish) background for the DE. Has it changed? How much has it changed?

We don't know...sadly

How about the other models? Taloi, Hellions, etc.?

GW hasn't shown the new Haemonculi.

I remember a pic from the French Games Day two (or even three) years ago.

oh lol, i wouldn't be surprised if those were dropped altogether.

Has anyone else noticed that Lelith has hooks in her hair? So that topknot and all that hair is, in fact, another weapon. Sweet.

Between her legs and waist, I think the model is already feminine. Not bewbs required.

IMO, her and all the models are great and are definitely my next army.

You know guys, we all like the models and we know they are women so you really may want to shut up about the whole chest-size/attractiveness thing. It's both irrelevant and really doesn't help the image of war-gamers dribbling at the sight of women and many of you - not just Scott - have been on about it.

I recognise I have no real authority, but ultimately it's against the rules of Dakka and you're mewling over the breast-size of 1" tall plastic women...

Correction, we are mewling over 1" tall RESIN women. That is, until we get the model, then it'll be METAL ones.

While I see half a dozen things I would do differently - I am very impressed overall and really excited about all the new conversion fodder and great new armies we will see.

I think the only real thing I've heard was quite general. That the DE now have more than just Commorragh now.

lol talk about overreacting.

btw of course we don't want to ruin the image of wargamers, that would be terrible.

Well... the GW site has offically called them 'combat enhancers' rather than combat drugs. I'm a little disappointed but can't say I didn't see it coming.

I'm fine with that wording. As long as the concept and items are kept in the game, changing the description of them is fine. Besides GW is way bigger now than 12 years ago, the last thing they need is a lawsuit because 'little Timmy' took drugs before fighting the big bully and ended up getting his head ripped off.

Little Timmy was a victim of Natural Selection, Sue Darwin.

Wonder if he gets an Award?

If breasts and sexy outfits didnt sell models then Reaper would have been out of business a LONG time ago.

IE I still get to call them combat drugs. check.

That's why I'm waiting to see the back of the model, before I judge the model as a whole.

You HAVE to be the only person I know that only likes female models if the have large, luscious butts and over-sized chests. You are really freaking me out, as I am 16 and only buy models that look coo/help my army, no matter how large their "unmentionables" are.

Hopefully they will re-sculpt the Wych succubus, and she will make you happy.

I really like the Jabba the Hut sail-barge influence that is visible on the skimmers.

_Tim?

I guess this thread is now officially devoid of any new useful posts. It appears to be reduced to geek concerns over nomenclature and model breasts. I guess there's a lot of this guy on the forum:

Yeah, I did not mean it like that, but now I see what it looks like I wrote. Lol, anyways my point stands.

Attempting to save the thread from weirdness...

Hey guys, what do you think of the hooks on the Incubis blades? Also, don't the smooth faced helmets make the wearers look really aggressive and inhumane, as DE should look?

You poor kid. Did the '90's really make you SO scared with political correctness that you can't admit appreciating the female body?

If that's the case, I'm thankful for growing up in the 70's

As for "attempting to save the thread from weirdness"... coming from someone with a Monty Python avatar? Some of us were around when that movie came out. Look up the word "irony" sometime

I kinda like the spikey bit at the leading edge of the end of the blade. It seems like that would be really good for getting SM's outta their shell.

/tries to refrain from making lilith/boob-size/not the only thing growing joke, fails, giggles to himself like a schoolboy.

edit* have to say though, while I like the new lilith model I really like the old one too...I'll have to grab one soon before they disappear.

I think one of these 3rd part add-on bits companies should do some stickers to replace "enhancers" with the far more appropriate "drugs"... give them away with purchase of some bits.

this has to be the fastest growing thread on dakka!

It will be one of the fastest to be closed today if it doesn't start going somewhere useful again.
