BOOBIES!

I love the way we could just replace the word nudity by BOOBS.

Realy, there is no big deal with boobs. There evry where ! Let it be on your mum, your gf, your sister, television, posters, etc....

And I wouldnt mind nudity in 40K, some would just have to put up a tutorial for schlong painting....

YEY SLANEESH

I have sculpted a gigantic, veiny, throbbing phallus on my Bloodthirster (Turns out to be head-height for the average SM, and about the same length, lovingly dubbed by my fellow gamers as "The Dick-Monster"). I have a photo posted here on Dakka, but I wasn't done painting it, and my camera is crappy at best. I've fielded him many times, and never get anything more than a chuckle. To be honest, I think it would be damn intemidating to be fighting a battle against such a daemon. Of course, I initially had no intention of making the sculpt permanent, it was a silly and immature joke, but since then i have, mostly because no one I have played has ever complained. I stand by the sentiment that anything and everything can be art, no matter the content. It certainly doesn't hurt anyone. You cannot shelter your children forever. Furthermore, why is the nude human form so feared in modern society? It's a helluva lot more natural and pure than the majority of the things we celebrate it today's world. We glorify acts of violence overseas by calling it "patriotism", but someone slips a nip and our little world seems to go into crisis mode. I'm aware that I'm a victim of geography, residing in the Bible belt, and I appreciate the opportunity to rant for a bit. Good talk.

Anything fine exept the distasteful and the unnesissary *COUGH female commisars COUGH* (Squad morale restored)


Just keep dem kiddies away.

I pretty much agree with iIt is art but keep it tasteful. However I really only care for it on Daemons. Anything else seems kind of... dumb. I mean one can easily wear a light leather shirt or something but whatever. Not a big deal.

In short, keep it tasteful.

There is only war... No time to stand there and look hawt.

If nudity / sexiness is literally ALL the character can really offer, it'll infuriate me.
If it feels like the creator is doing everything in his power just to sex up the game, it'll infuriate me.

For 40k I just don't feel like generic sexiness really... fits. Like, at all.

Slaanesh are awesome however. They're far from generic.

The gritty sci fi story of Warhammer 40K is a dark, grim, and far from perfect. Slaanesh/Dark Eldar are ecstasy/decadence, theres no real way to sugar coat it. if you dont want your children exposed at a young age to such things then be a responsible parent. enough said.

Keep it in good taste.

I dont particularly like it, and find that it would probably throw off the mood on the tabletop, but if you want to do it then go right ahead.
Edit: Ah damn, did not realize that this thread died in 2012. So,uh, sorry for the necropost. Wont happen again

Meh, even if it's painted well I still think it's pretty lame.

Whoa do you suffer Spontaneous Human Combustion whenever you see yourself in the mirror while showering or something?

Aka dont care.

It depends on the context. I’m fine with both female and male nudity. Also why are lots of alien races being depicted as apparently nude or bare foot in lots of sci-fi ranges?

In case of player armies:
Vehicle/Banner pin-ups are fine in my book so are demons, brutes and berserker/Amazonian characters.
Ragtag characters with torn or little revealing tribal garments are ok too by me. Otherwise characters who can’t dress themselves. Like the rat ogre model who has both his hands replaced with blades. Why does he have a loincloth? Is there some Skaven slave whose ungrateful task it is too dress this violent and unpredictable creature. I would like to see that model. Complete with a look in his eyes that says he is dead inside.
Depicting explicit sexual acts on vehicles and banners is just lame and only serves to provoke a reaction if you plan to bring them to the gaming table. Not to mention if you have miniatures preforming sexual acts. Don’t have sex during a battle goddammit it would get you killed!
Commissars don’t put up with that gak!

In case of miniatures not for playing, or for those used in dioramas:
I would say go nuts. You want to depict a hedonistic orgy of excessive sex. Fine by me.
Rat ogre/Demon with an erection. Sure.
The horrors of war, featuring rape and murder. I can go with that.
Keep your weird kinks to yourself if you know it’s going to offend lots of people also don’t bring them to painting competitions and other public displays. The “it’s art and I am being provocative” won’t go down well in general. Especially if it only serves, to ruin other peoples fun.
Although you still need to hide it like porn if you ever get visitors.

It's okay as long as the nudity isn't overboard and makes sense in the lore/fluff/whatever else you call it.

So, hurray for necroposting !
I actually would enjoy more non-sexual nudity and less sexualization of female characters.

I like it , but use common sence when your in a public place where kids are.

They're your minis, you do what you will with them. But for an old geezer like me, that Kindom Death Hentai ish feels weird when sweaty beardy hikikomori's are in the same room. I don't want to be smelling any funny erections nahmean

keep it tastful, anything goes is ANYTHING goes and there are several illegal and taboo subjects that should not be crossed even in the name of art.

Indeed.

I don't think it is a good fit for every game (by a lot) but I rather like grotesque nudity on minis. Like the body horror stuff you see in Kingdom Death or Cthulhu Death May Die.

It is art - anything goes.
But keep it relevant, yes Slaanesh daemons are more than likely to be showing a lot of skin, female Commissars are not.
