The LAF Games Workshop Discussion Thread

Those new snapfit Poxwalkers look pretty ok for the money:

Might even pick up a box for use as some bloated post-apoc muties, never can have enought of those...

We'll see. For a tenner/15 euro I'm willing to give it a try. Paint them dark and gritty, cut away what looks stupid and I'm sure they will look rather well.

I find them ok, but kind of boring.

I did both and saw nothing alarming. Anitas review of Dishonored II was rather good actually. No one was butthurt that DII has a female villain although it was expressed the evil lynn trope was somewhat predictable and tired.

So where is the mass butthurt I am meant to be awed and alarmed by? I am just not seeing it. Care to point it out with examples?

And of course, no evidence will ever be enough.

Let's just ignore people in this thread complaining about Dark Eldar villainesses.

Whoever wants to have the opposite sex of an existing model is always free to try a conversion, isn't it?

I did rather often and I´m happy with it. Nothing easier than a head swap on a person in (power) armour...

Very nice! I would have assumed they were different sculpts entirely. Mind you,not enough skulls for this thread

Of course you´re right, but they were simply meant as examples. This is what I was essentially talking about:

Nothing easier than a head swap on a person in (power) armour...

BTW: Wouldn't those particular superhuman marine steroids make a female jaw grow as well as a male's? In that case there wouldn't even be much difference in their facial physiognomies as well. I mean: You can't tell a male Tau from a female, can you - why wouldn't that apply to (super)humans (in armour) alike?

I was just coming on here to say how absolutely amazing I think the new Daemonette sculpts are - they've absolutely nailed the androgyny Slaaneshi creatures are supposed to have in a way that none of the previous efforts have.

But I guess this isn't the thread for that at the moment    Thanks to some ludicrous claims about the most prevalent form of bullying being bandied around earlier.

New demonettes?

I'm not sure I've seen those.

Oh well maybe they're not very new. The ones currently on sale in the GW website. I had not seen them before, but then I don't really look at the daemonic ranges much (in 28mm I game more in the RT era, before Chaos was a thing). Sorry if I was misleading and commenting on old news!

Anyway, they're excellent sculpts.

Just reboxedso that justifies the confusion:)

[Elbows]

See my reference on the other page as to why GW should totally not get involved in this silliness...

Does anyone have the "Know no Fear" box? I'm curious what the rulebook is like - hoping it's a softback option without all the extraneous junk.

[Elbows]

Found a "Know no Fear" unboxing video on YouTube - sadly the smaller rulebook does not include the full rules, so it's not a cheaper/smaller/softback option.

[Shamash-Bel]

I've had some Death Guard from the Dark Imperium box sitting assembled for almost a week now. Painting paralysis is atrocious. I want to paint them but I can't make my mind up on what and how.

[Westfalia Chris]

Well then, I hope everybody calmed down a bit.

I've been asked to re-open the thread and will do so provided you folks stay on topic, which is:

• the general discussion of Games Workshop releases, rules, concepts etc.
• Painted figures or actual projects go on the respective boards.
• No current affairs, no politics, no sniping at folks from either side of the fence.

Thank you very much.
