Well I have the chior, but they are not getting preferential painting treatment as I have more interesting units to paint
I'll get to them one day though!

I'm leaning toward the Legion suggestion here. Elves and androgyny go together like rama-lama-ding-dong.

Not heard of rama-lama-ding-dong before but I assume its like me saying "Like a house on fire".
I will slowly move through the Legion models and pick out the ones I like. Really not interested in their beasts (not fluffy like the Circle ones ) so I'll just stick to the fun casters and units for painting

There is zero evidence of the choir being guys or gals. They're wearing huge robes and masks over the lower parts of their face. And the leader is completely covered.

In fact, just about every Protectorate model except for Idrians is wearing large headgear of some sort. Menoth himself wore a mask, thats why its the official uniform of the Clergy.

I get that you mean well here, and in an ideal world you'd be right, but it's a company that puts heels and boobplate on almost every identifiably female model. I haven't looked at the Choir closely, but I wouldn't blame anyone for thinking, yeah, these were almost certainly intended to be dudes given the rest of the model range.

Anyway, I just wondered if aprilmanha was running the choir, because if not I imagine that would tone the lethality of her games down quite a bit. My experience is that the sort of stuff she's identified as a Hordes thing, like heavy 'jacks dying on the alpha strike, is a feature of the game in general and not limited to Hordes.

The Rama-lama-ding-dong is from a Grease song I think.

Has the OP had a chance to play against Hordes again using the Fury mechanics properly?

You know, I just realized something else. The Convergence universal unit attachment (transverse enumerator) is a lady as well believe it or not. I didn't even notice before now. The "boob plates" are actually somewhat integrated into how the armor is supposed to look. I'd say that's reasonably well designed, and at least there's no high heels.

My Convergence army is mostly female. The infantry and Jacks aren't, but then the infantry could be female for all we know. Those bodies aren't their bodies they go around with on a daily basis, they just get loaded into combat bodies for battle.
Also, there's conversions. No Quarter has many articles about converting. Here's one of my own. I took Syntherion and made her into Forge Master Lucia.

Hey, that's cool. I've been playing trolls lately, and the new Scattergunner and Highwaymen kits have three women trolls each in them (albeit all with the same sculpt). Braylen just came out this week, too. They're all clearly marked with boobplate, too (and the troll women have none of the chin-growths, plus weird fish lips for no apparent reason).

You see what I mean, though! When they intend the models to be female, they nearly always mark them so very clearly.

Conversions are cool, too.

That is exactly the problem. Real women, especially those in armor, don't look like that!

Exactly my point from earlier. I just probably did not present it very well.

I'm not to worried
I know noone is going to change the world overnight to convince model makers to make more realistic armour, So I'm happy with the boob armour when its within reason
Its not like this is relic knights after all O_o

Like, perhaps Calandra?


The hottest, baddest chick in Immoren. Her boob armor is not protecting her, it's protecting you.

Haww

It would be fun to paint that blue, not tried a Pastel blue before, usually ultramarine blue, or Turquoise

Yeah, every player should own and paint at least one Trollkin model. They are lots of fun.

I might have to start Trollkin just for that model.

Or Minions...

I really hate the Calandra model... Helga is amazing though.

I would be tempted to bend her arm upwards to make it look like she is rocking out and doing the horns to the music

What isn't to love about a thick gypsy troll throwing up the horns and giving out re-rolls?!

Rerolls be damned she is getting painted with KISS makeup maybe a grenstuff tongue to match

Eh the horns are stupid and it looks like she's dancing. Just looks silly.

Metal horns are always awesome.

If you're 12...

Or even 29

Or 92

Christopher Lee just came out with a metal album. Your argument is invalid.

I'm not saying metal is for 12 year olds, I know about Christopher Lees metal albums. Saying the horns are 'cool' however; there's literally nothing 'cool' about making a shape with your hand and it looks stupid on a Hordes model. I'm not even making an argument I'm stating an opinion.

In my first game against Hordes my brother made the opposite mistake. He thought his beasts start the game with their Fury maxed.

After Everything frenzied we figured something was wrong.

Have you had a chance to play against Hordes using the Fury rules properly?

I think you may have missed some of the thread
About half way through the thread (somethng outside) gave me a bit of a personal epifiney and I realised I was not actually enjoying playing war-games anyway, so going to concentrate on making cool fun armies and painting but not worrying about the actual game any more.
I'm going a much for Girl Power as I can, since I have the MachoMen thing and done to death with my W40K armies

I've said it elsewhere, but eSkarre tier list.

Horny ladies, whips, and a great rack.

Its the most fun you can have with sadistic pirates.
