Suddenly feels like a 80's metal album cover thread LOL

Please just take that comment back......:


Oh and where i found stuff of nightmares:

I'm just....


Don't know how to express it lol

Nothing says combat effectiveness like high heels.

Well High Heels do seem to give an initiative bonus as proven by some models like the DCA.

The thing to remember here is that John Blanche has a high heel fetish.

Not a sexual one, an artistic one.

You should look in Visions of Heresy or one of this artbooks. They're full of people in high heels. Men. Women. Weird aliens. Robots.

Fortunately the sculptors who turned his art into miniatures also realised this at the time and toned down the... Blanche-ness. Hopefully, the current generation will realise that this was deliberate as well and... well, if we end up with Sisters in power heels? I'll need some... time to grieve.

If we get Sisters who go faster because heels I'll live.

I think I need to make a facepalm emoji, but I am not sure where to start on that one.

What, I'm not allowed to have a sense of humor now?

I seem to have misplaced mine.

That said, regarding power heels, I could probably accept something like this...

I just find it funny that models with heels tend to have high initiative scores:



Though they have phased out a lot of the models with heels that we used to have so it's not like it's a continuing problem anymore.

IMO, Sisters should lose the heels.

However, to satisfy John Blanche, the new girls will all be sculpted en pointe:


I think that would be about right, no heels needed.

You misunderstand the cause and effect, its not that models in high heels have high initiative, its that models with high initiative tend to have heels.

Not so much actually. I mean it was about a 50/50 split once, but the funny thing is that I can't think of one unit in heels that was slow, hence my stance that the heels were doing the work.

None of the Sisters currently have heels, this is about the threat of them gaining them.

I feel like you're missing the joke.

Honestly when it comes to what they could do to the Sisters in design I can live with heels. I can't live with an armor design that looks "sexier" or involves any sort of buttfloss. My suspension of disbelief only goes so far.

... heels exist to force the calf, thigh and butt muscles into a sexier shape.

So you're not hoping for a retake on the Raging Heroes design?



I'm pretty sure they're wearing power armor for a 3+ armor save.

Pointe shoes do it even better. Same with the fetish boots that should be standard gear.

Oh, pike off, ya great bloody troll.

I know but unless the armor is shaped to create that impression we won't see that.

I like Blanche as an artist, especially his deamon stuff, but that cover.....

Well, his Sister look bad-ass. No, not that big strange thing with bra-skull, that is obviously not a Sister. I am talking of the heavy-bolter-toting badass in the rear.

Spoiler:

I'm surprised it took so long for someone to mention the boob-skulls. The heavy bolter chick is definitely epic though!

At least Blanche didn't do boob plate on top of giving her skull pasties.

I live in New York and have seen plenty of folks outright run in heels. Anyone who can run in high-heels clearly has super-human agility. As such, I propose a rule which says Power Heels confers "Assault Vehicle" to anything transporting units from the Adepta Sororitas NewDex. There... I also just fixed Repentia. :-p

Repentia currently wear wear practical shoes. Based on the fluff they should be wearing rags or barefoot instead.

I think that they actually do have rags tied to their legs.

Looks more like a variant of the Sister's boots.

That is the most british thing I've heard in a while.

This thread is bad and should feel bad. I click, knowing nothing good will come of it, and every time I am disappointed.

So I bring news of "It's not in May, as that's too soon", "new models with more of a Blanche feel" and that there is a change to the format to the army and you were disappointed?

Sorry I couldn't bring you anything more than that, it's the best I've got right now.

I meant the many stupefying pages since then.
