15 euros for 35mm 'Lady Mechanica' model. Kabuki is an old and established business, so this is likely to go off without a hitch. I thought this stretch goal was the most interesting thing:-



With the orb, that suddenly looks like a Necron unit to me.

Isn't that 'orb' actually just her faceplate?

Is it? Could well be. Even if so, it could be easily left off, the second head is quite Necrony on it's own.

That is pretty cool! I'd love a stretch goal for a less pointy torso plate to go with the alternate head and arm, would look pretty badass

It's not Necron-y - it looks like a art deco/Metropolis-influenced take on Adept Koriel Zeth from the Mechanicum novel.

Super tempted by this.

Yeah, Metropolis was the first thing that popped into my mind. I may consider this one.

I look and see a robot skull with an intricate headpiece. Not exactly what you'd call far removed from the Necron aesthetic, y'know?

Also not a million miles from this:



...with a touch of "what's beneath the mask" body horror. Necrons tend not to have explicitly-human skulls.

A beautiful model, Which I would happily purchase if her breasts didn't dominate the whole figure.

Oh man I would love to get that 1/8th scale full figure, just can't justify spending that much on one.

So. Much. This.

I think it's the molded robo-nipples. If they were just a little bit smaller and less bullet-looking a decent paint job could keep them from dominating the figure, as the CGI rendering approach here seems to make them overly prominent. But as is, I don't think there's any way a paint job alone can save it. A pity, because otherwise this could have been a truly fine figure.

And people yell at GW for not representing women well in their miniature range.. I'd rather see no female models than seeing them sexualized like this.

It's hard justifying why a female Mechanicum Tech Priest (or whatever this is supposed to be) would design herself like this. What logical purpose do those breast serve, hmm?

Ummm, women design themselves like that now.

Magos Khi-Ra12 examined her upgraded body. After exhaustive data collection on the battlefield over several decades, she discovered an average 0.95 second reaction time disparity in standard humans and other xenos exhibiting anthropomorphic sexual dimorphism upon first viewing of the form. For some reason, the form also often subtly disrupted other biological and cognitive processes in Administratum and Ministorum personnel, raising heart rate and placing them at a disadvantage during negotiations. Although the form was not practical for a servant of the Omnissiah, the weakness of other's flesh could be exploited...

Seriously. I wouldn't go all the way up to beautiful, but I'd call it pretty nice... and then those giant robo breasts or w/e just look ridiculous.

Crikey, I bet you guys would blow steam out of your ears like cartoon characters if you ever went to an art gallery, there's actual naked human bewbies depicted everywhere nevermind robotic pseudobewbies

Depicting the female form, even in a stylised way, is categorically not "sexualisation". The model isn't posed suggestively, it hasn't been given a twisted and broken spine to ensure both boobs and bum are in full view from the preferred angle like you see with some comic art or marketing posters, it's just a woman-shaped robot.

It is kabuki

scroll down on the KS for some big titty dark vader model

The tesla nips dont bother me

That was pretty good!

Not to intrude on somebody elses KS

but those that want a huge robot woman (with less obvious breasts, but breasts none the less) should have a look at the various Futura miniatures from Infamy, (eg. https://infamygames.com/products/futura?variant=37315601548)

although it won't help those looking for a 'human' sized one
