I wish there were more models for women in the game.

Guard are constantly mentioned to have both women and men serving but the models don't represent this whatsoever.

Hopefully when they finally update the Guard models GW will add in at least some bits.

>>52515446
This is purely ceremonial
I don't get why /tg/ has such a hard on for shit that never existed on the battlefield
Women wrapped their waist in cloth and wore regular armor, if they were to wear it at all.
The last thing you want to do is show your enemy that you're a prime rape candidate.

>>52515660
>never existed on the battlefield
like female soldiers?

>>52515669
>implying no armies on earth utilized all sexes for war

>>52515483
>>52515651
Did Vostroyans actually get some random female minis, or was it just the art and I'm remembering things wrong?

>>52515684
>all
you mean both. Anyways, slave armies maybe, even then it's unlikely. But as regimented soldiers? Nah.

I present you a modern day assassin.

Beside child soldiers are thing and have some degree of success.

No idea why you hate women so much.

I had a point here but then I notice. It was all for the (you)s

>>52515660
>never existed on the battlefield
What does that have to do with anything at all? Elves never existed on the battlefield either. I'd still like to fuck one if I had the chance.

>>52515651
Remember that most women in the IG serve in the very rare all female regiments. Mixed regiments are even rarer.

>>52515690
Unofficial FFG art, iirc.

>>52515710
>you mean both
Eunuchs have social standing of "third gender" in some Asian cultures, you know.

>>52515690
just FFG

The firstborn were explicitly an all-male regiment. One of the few.

>>52515742
[Citation needed]

>>52515651
Fluff also says mixed regiments are incredibly rare.

>>52515690
Nope. The only minis are Tanith, Last Chancers, Catachans, and a Commissar.

>>52515730
an assassin isn't a soldier, you fucking moron. I don't hate women, christ alive. I'm just stating the fact that they don't really have any kind of presence in the history of open warfare. As spies, or assassins, sure. But as rank and file military, almost completely nonexistent.

>>52515690
I don't remember Vostroyans having any, but I know the Tanith/Gaunt's Ghosts have some.


IIRC Catachan has a couple models as well.

Can any Chaos marine legion take a Cyclopia Cabal, or is it for Black Legion only? That seems kind of dumb if the only accessible psykers-blob formation is restricted to one set of tactics.

>>52515710
>all
>you mean both
All can mean all two you mong. But I agree.

>>52515776

To be fair, he was probably extremely electing something like the tau list I faced as IG, which included 2 broadsides, a riptide, and a hammerhead

>>52515765
Rare in 40k goes from one of a kind to Tau super special snowflake armour being in every war zone they have.

In other word rare means very little

Wait, so Orks are really good in Shadow Wars? Awesome.

>>52515765
So you mean there's only several billion throughout the galaxy?

>it's a social justice/diversity and female inclusion thread
Abandon ship guys this general is doomed.

Why do you faggots insist in shitting up every other 40k general these days? If you want female models, convert them. If you want racially diverse models, paint them that way.

Stop forcing your political views on people and get out.

>>52515810

Have you guys read the old Armageddon Codex from 3rd edition? It shows Steel Legion minis being used for Jopal Indentured Squadrons, but more importantly it shows the Death Korps of Krieg before the Death Korps of Krieg was a thing. I never knew, now I'm tempted to paint my Steel Legion like this. I used to love the old hobby & modelling sections in books.

Asia and the Middle East has a rich history of female soldiers, some pulling a literal Mulan and impersonating men, others outright fighting in unofficial "women's regiments", as well as numerous famous "Warrior-Queens" who fought in battle and marched alongside men.

610KB, 1696x1214px

Which list is better?

>>52515765
"Mixed regiments" meaning two old depleted regiments mixed together, not mixed gender. The guard rarely mentions gender at all because its irrelevant to their day to day duties of dying, dying, and getting shot.

>>52515878
There was also a small amount (very small) that fought in the U.S. Civil War.

Not to mention there were probably Celt women that fought too.

>>52515878
I like how you had to qualify every single one of those examples as either pretending to be men, unofficial regiments (IE defending themselves, probably while the soldiers were campaigning elsewhere), or famous royalty one-offs.

>>52515770
It was rather common back then.

Mostly a western thing the "no girls allowed at war" and from Catholic Rome era.

The thing is it was rare but no uncommon

>>52515913
rare means uncommon, friend. In fact rare is an order of magnitude higher than uncommon

>>52515882
What use is Coteaz in that right list?

>>52515878
Can you just get out? Women are weak and almost universally make awful soldiers.

Men and women are fundamentally physically different and have very different biological roles to play. Deal with it and get out.

>>52515926
Uncommon as in something outlandish and requiering a trigger warning.

Please r8 my captains.

I'm trying to keep it both fluffy and useful on the tabletop, already knowing captains are not the best hq choice.

They're all meant to be escorted by vanguard / command squads or sternguard, or to just die heroically

the BA captain is just so I can use that one when I proxy my marines as Blood Angels.

>>52515955
No, you need to use your fucking words properly you child. Read a book. "Rare" is more extreme than "uncommon"

>>52515955
in one post, you said it was common and rare at the same time. sort yourself out before trying to make an argument

>>52515815
i doubt pol is the place for anons looking for fair treatment toward women and ethnics

>>52515895
Europe had its share; Spain, Rome, and obviously France all have famous female warriors who weren't afraid of getting stuck in.

If we count modern history you also have the Viet Cong, French resistance members who saw open combat against German forces early and late in WWII, and the innumerable female Soviet pilots in WWII.

Considering the number of famous warrior women in leadership roles, I'm wondering how many went undocumented or ignored as part of the rank-and-file.

>>52516002
You don't know what fair means

>>52515991
Not that guy, but the implication I got was that it was rare among individuals, but not uncommon for any given culture to have had it at some point in time.

Either way, not really applicable in 40k, since even if 1% of all guardsmen are women, they'd still outnumber Tau, Space marines, and Eldar by an order of magnitude.

>>52516031
Thank you!

To be fair, that's Tau, who have genuinely never had their slow travel or scarcity of resources ever correctly presented except in the most fringe of fluff. They really aren't a good basis for anything in 40k, since the writers seem to be adamant on making the Tau 'above' the limitations and themes of the setting.

>R&H heavy weapon teams are BS 2

Nakano Takeko. She has the stereotypical "only female samurai" origin story, but she lead a unit of female warriors who got stuck in alongside the Aizu army, who didn't recognize them as a military unit, but at the same time didn't outright tell them to stop trying to fuck up the enemy.
She died after being shot in the chest while leading a charge.

You could just as easily have meltas if you are that worried about a close quarters anti-armor unit, and few armies are going to field 2+ on you at 750.
I'd ask you how you plan to deal with AV13/14 front armor if your vehicles get ventilated.
Get meltabombs on your vanguard, a stormshield on the sarge, ditch the tl asscans for more anti-infantry dakka.

The only reason I'd want heavy stubbes is that a full team with those costs 75 points, while it's another 60 for all the autocannons. For dudes with no armor in the open, I feel like they should be really cheap.

>>52516309
I don't think anyone in this thread was bitching about female soldiers in 40k though. It's fantasy, they can do whatever they want. The argument was about historical examples.

Again, you're misrepresenting the argument. It wasn't "no women in war", it was "no women as regimented soldiers"

Of course women are going to fight if their homes or livelihoods are being threatened. But that doesn't mean they get conscripted by the government and used as soldiers.

>>52516511
Yeah, it becomes more common as technology advances because as you say, you don't need any great strength of muscle to shoot a gun or pilot a plane. But back in the days where warfare boiled down to how hard you could swing a stick, it was pretty much just dudes.

Don't see this in any of the posts in this thread, anon, and if you see the need to move goalposts this blatantly, maybe we should all just let the topic die, because at this point, it's raw shitposting for (you)s.

Well you mostly wanted to make sure the women stayed alive or you'll be running out of regiments to recruit. But I think the guard will take them as volunteers and not drafted.

It's an embarrassing and dirty secret that there were conscripted female IL-2 pilots and tail gunners, who were poorly trained and thrown into the fray. On-route to targets they tried to emulate American B-17 tactics and cover each other with close formations. German pilots struck from above and some aces admitted with some guilt that their numbers were padded with easy kills against pilots who wouldn't even break formation while their wingmates fell out of the sky around them.

My gripe is 7 Grav Cannons is 42 shots and if Twin-linked (Coteaz) that's 31 Hits.
Equaling up to 26 Wounds (2+) to 5 Wounds (6+ or Vehicles)

Personally I would've split them into two units (3 and 4) gives them more options, you won't overkill a target, and it's less likely they'll get focused down.

So every Eldar faction have their downside but the Ynnari have nothing.

The Craftworld Ynnari can throw all restraint and use their powers to their fullest with no fear of drawing Slaanesh. Ynnari Dark Eldar are free from the thirst and its debilitating effects. They can even use the souls of the dead to boost their power to even greater heights.

The Ynnari seem too perfect. Do they actually have downsides or are they truly a mary sue faction with no flaws?

The Imperium can grow troops in test tubes. Women are just as expendable in 40k.

If anything, overpopulation causes them more issues than the Guard's unlimited manpower pool solves, Hives are universally filled with heretics, mutants and often chaos or xenos cults because they're impossible to monitor or police, whilst also consuming vast resources.

You're stupid. He's talking about the fact that women are the bottleneck to human reproduction.

In the modern world because current conflicts don't pose any kind of risk to the survival of the overall populations of the involved belligerents it's actually largely irrelevant.

But in a scenario where the human race is actually under pressure, at least in places, to produce new humans it would actually be a legitimate concern.

>>52517346
It's pretty generic desu (Not your fault. GKs are get very limited)

My only worry is if you don't get first, your opponents might pop your Rhino and leave your Purgation walking up. Causing 175pts stranded and not being useful until T3-ish.

>>52517482
40k is not under pressure to produce new humans though, it's absurdly overpopulated.

These kinds of concerns kind of go out the window after you colonize the entire galaxy.

>>52517460
Yeah, but for Imperial guard, most regiments don't even have to do that. They give you a lasgun, armor, and a pack of rations if you're lucky.

>But in a scenario where the human race is actually under pressure, at least in places, to produce new humans it would actually be a legitimate concern.

Cadians apparantly go into battle with a canteen and a couple of spare las mags on a utility belt according the models/most of the art.

Half the Guard still thinks fire by rank and marching towards the enemy in company formation in nice starched uniforms is a viable tactic.

I think we can safely rule out the entire Guard being the equivilent to modern NATO-tier dismounted infantry, which is pretty much the peak of general human soldiering standards in our entire history as a species, excluding lunatics like the Spartans or Romans.

If they can find a combat role for fucking 3ft tall Ratlings, I'm sure they can find a way for even the poor ol' -4 str wimmin to die for the Emprah.

No biggie. D&D? I'm proud to say that as a player I'm always the party leader, maxed as I can be and I'm not afraid of taking that extra edge that puts me ahead of enemies and allies alike. Hell, I got to get paid for having sex with hot girls and killing dragons with my expert builds. I like to shit on the GM one-directional adventures, by solving it with brains and brawl instead of one or the other, wether the party likes it or not. When Im the GM, Im proud to say that NO PARTY ever finished one of my adventures. Think you're gonna face some lazy sleepy goblins? Think again, they are fully trained comandos, that will attack and take full cover before you can do shit. Dont hate the player, hate the game. WH40K?

Orks? Tyranid? Eldar? Give me a fucking break. Tau may be dangerous due to their cheese, but thats just a exploit that only xenos will take advantage of, because they know, fear and respect real space marines.

>I can't fucking read
The Imperium as a whole has an enormous population, but individual world's don't tremendously variable levels of colonization and development and are subject to apocalyptic wars and mandatory mass-recruitment of guard regiments.

So like I said there are worlds in the imperium that legitimately could not afford to contribute a substantial part of its female population to off-world military service so you wouldn't expect them to produce female regiments at all. Others that aren't in that kind of situation could afford to use women in that way.

Basically shithole planets would be less likely to produce female regiments than safer, more developed ones.

What's even the point of female guardsmen? They're weaker than men, and are much better used to fill the occupations lost to the tithe, and to replenish the population. Every man lost can be replaced by another one having more kids. The same isn't true for women. What's more, only the ones of fertile age are fit for service.

Explain to me as if I was a planetary governor why I should give women to the tithe.

A planet isn't going to make decisions about how it puts together guard regiments based on the assumption that it's going to be destroyed so the long term consequences are irrelevant.

Well, yeah.

Take Abaddon vs Celestine fight as the perfect example.

Even while powered by the Emperor and having the best battle gear, Celestine was no match fot Abaddon. And when she lost her powers, Abaddon swiftly overpowered her and cast her down with a backhanded slap.

For a start, I said 'half the guard', listing various elite regiments or formations is pointless. Mordians still exist.

I also thought it was pretty clear it was meant as hyperbole, but I guess it wasn't obvious, so my bad.

My only point was that Guard tactics vary greatly and often include obsolete methods of warfare, so equating the entire guard to NATO dismounted infantry isn't sensible.

Sure, some are at that standard, some are above it. But there's too much variation to imply the Guard has ANY universal physical standards what so ever. If you can hold a lasgun and walk, you can be a Guardsman in many regiments.

Basically there'd be a sliding scale of how great the proportion of men to women in the regiments a planet puts out based on how prosperous and populated the planet is modified by other factors like muh tradition (which in 40k could result in either more or less female soldiers).

A super productive hive world with matriarchal Nobel houses might predominantly put out all-female regiments because they can, but a shithole frontier planet may not be able to afford giving up any of its women if it wants a healthy population balance.

>>52518077
Are you saying a guardsman would have somehow faired better in that situation? Or that Celestine wouldn't beat the pants off of pretty much any other Chaos marine in that battle?

Is taking a murder talon at 500pts too much? It's basically 3 squads of melta raptors, a spawn, and a lord, but I get the rerolled charges and night fighting.

A shitholw frontier world with a population that low would presumably be paying their Tithe with natural resources instead. Not every planet tributes guardsmen.

That aside, the idea of mixed or all female regiments somehow being rare is kind of pointless to nitpick.

>>52518077
Anon, Abaddon is the single best mortal warrior in the entire setting. And when Celestine lost her powers, she was a regular woman in power armor against the best mortal warrior in the entire setting.
And he STILL GOT SHANKED BY HER.

Women have better colour perception, hand-eye coordination and fine motor control.

Taking into account a lasgun's light weight and minimal/non-existent recoil, they'd likely outperform male guardsmen when it came to marksmanship.

>>52518143
It could be kind of overwhelming depending on who you're fighting.

>>52518221
Women do outperform men when it comes to low-RoF marksmanship, this is one of the few areas where it's accepted that women have an advantage over men in combat, but if we're going for an objective standpoint it's not enough to account for all the other weaknesses they have.

Of course, considering how utterly outclassed Guardsmen are anyway, on top of the fact that 40k has never even been remotely realistic in anything, that female regiments aren't even close to being unreasonable for the setting.

Nah, I am saying if she was a power armoured male, then she would have stood a better chance. We have seen power armour wearing males fight evenly with marines before. Heck, Commissar Cain successfully duelled a Khornate berserker without PA.

So Celestine apparent weakness can only stem for her being a female.

Then what counts as mortal? Abbadon's certainly gone above and beyond Astartes physiology, does he count? Do the Solitaires and toppest-tier Harlequins count?

>>52518264
They're physically smaller than men. Combined with the hand-eye coordination and fine motor control advantages, they'd be perfectly suited for vehicle crew.

>>52518324
Depending on the vehicle, possibly, though their lack of strength might make them slightly poorer engineers unless the military in question is equipped with the tools to deal with that. It really depends on how far technology has advanced and what kind of kit the army is sporting.

>>52518300
Abaddon can draw upon Drach'nyen power. A power equal or greater to the Emperor.

>>52518317
>thats not even my diagnoses silly
What, self diagnosed sociopath?

>>52518264
The thing about 40k is that those different as between men and woman end up being really insignificant in the long run. You can be a weak conscript or a veteran catachan, but odds are you're still strong enough to punt a grot, but not enough to hold our against Gaunts, Orks, or any other Xenos

How do you guys handle models that don't mag easily such as Hotshot las Scions? Just have duplicates for those weapon options?

>>52518352
Eldrad managed to successfully fight off Abaddon and he is nowhere as physically and martially superior as Celestine suppose to be. Something got to give.

>>52518416
>Thata what tech priests are for
tank crew don't have tech priests available

Shit, most vehicle crew won't. They'll have a techpriest at the motor pool overseeing them to make sure they don't fuck things up.

Blood Angels player - are my fast rhinos better transports than drop pods?

I know that drop pods go where you want them but they kind of leave your unit with their pants down after the alpha strike.
You also need to spam at least three of them to be able to capitalize on rounding up for first turn drops.

However, fast rhinos are 10 points more. They can act as mobile LOS blocking terrain for jump packing death company and assault marines.

Which do you prefer and why?

>>52518416
Also, that's what servitors are for. Anything the priest cannot specifically do themselves they send for servitors.

Guardians are not exclusively male.

>>52518416
Engineseers are by no means as common as actual vehicle damage, Guardsmen are trained in basic repair duties for their vehicles because they need to be, field repairs for a tank who's premise is to eat fire and still work would be extremely common.

Preferably we'd have a female gunner and the engineers would be lads, but then we get into the muddy zone of multi-gender crew relations for soldiers that haven't been drilled as hard as Cadians.

Do we know a release date for the new plague marines models we saw at adepticon? I wanted to get back in 40k with a death guard army.

>>52518462

Maybe the fact that he's the most powerful known non-Warp entity Psyker alive in the entire setting has something to do with it.

>"women are just as strong mad men you v-virgins"
What fucking planet are you nerds from? There's a reason men are basically NEVER allowed to hit women. The strength difference is such that it's like beating a child or old person. In fact, in domestic violence women actually strike at men more, the difference being they can't easily put their man in the hospital.

Sports are gender segregated for a reason.

>>52518367
>lack of strength might make them slightly poorer engineers
Fine motor skills and thin, delicate fingers will trump raw strength every day of the week when it comes to vehicle maintenance. Ask any diesel fitter, even the huge mining shit still requires you to shove your hand into impossibly tight gaps and wiggle your fingers in complicated patterns.

That is not something to brag about, anon.

What you want in practice is someone with tiny hands but long arms and huge biceps.

The perfect engineered mechanic would be a weird looking person.

>>52518576
meh dont know but I dont see a reason to do it

>>52518403
To use Drach'nyen's power requires incredible willpower and focus because one slip and the daemon would destroy Abaddon and everything within 100 kilometres radius. So yeah it requires a lot of skill to tame that daemon.

>>52518576
Eldrad didn't die. Abaddon was evacuated by the Chaos Gods.

>>52518514
The fine motor skills of a female aren't that much higher than those of males, however, while sometimes you just need raw strength to perform serious maintenance duties on military equipment. Maybe a mixed crew would be a good idea if we were going for anally optimal engineering team.

>>52518576
>managed to DIE KILLING ABADDON
What? No, he died trying to take over a corrupted blackstone fortress. Completely disconnected from his previous fight with abaddon.

>>52518596
>So yeah it requires a lot of skill to tame that daemon.
Not seeing it, mate.

>>52518593
>I dont see a reason to do it
You are literally a dysfunctional living being in every sense of the word, and in a less "civilized" world, you either would have been driven from civilization, killed, or gotten yourself killed somehow. Save the rest of us the trouble.
>>52518596
>>52518620
>he died trying to take over a corrupted blackstone fortress
>Eldrad didn't die. Abaddon was evacuated by the Chaos Gods.
Because they didn't follow the TT results in the EoT campaign, like they didn't in many other places.
In the climatic TT battle, Eldrad and Abaddon killed each other dead, stone dead, both of them. GW didn't want to do it, so they killed off Eldrad somewhere else and spared Abaddon the end they had claimed they would accept.

>>52518603
>Maybe a mixed crew would be a good idea if we were going for anally optimal engineering team.
Alternatively you could just... take the guys with high dexterity and train them as maintenance staff.

>>52518662
You are getting it wrong. Eldrad's death has nothing to do with Abaddon. He was devoured by Slaanesh that was hiding in the Blackstone Fortress.

>>52518662
is this bait or pol?

I don't get the argument over female guardsmen. They will literally never happen, a female guard kit would be far too niche to be profitable, and adding a few females to the basic guardsman kit would just annoy the 80% + of guard players who have no interest in having female soldiers and would object to losing a fifth of their squad.

>>52518509
The fact that an average man will beat the average woman in arm wrestling all the time matters less when a space marine can bench press the tank they're both inside and chuck it through a wall.

>>52517053
No, Gamesworkshop are just blatantly preparing to kill off Slaanesh. They already basically did it in Age of Sigmar. There's only one reason servants of the god that is prophecised to kill Slaanesh are suddenly around.

Trying to make a more competitive list for my LGS, using IF tactics.

I am attempting to make a "gravstar" type unit, this is what I've come up with. Any tips here?

I could remove the shield eternal, or replace tac squads with scouts to add more centurions. However with so many centurions I have no way to fit them in a drop pod; so I will have this big unit footslogging, relying on librarians to keep them alive.

>>52518721
>annoy guard players who don't want female models

You mean make them a fortune, because now anyone who cares about a single-gender squad either has to buy an extra box for more males, of 5 of them for females.

Arguably, they don't even need torsos, just heads, and heads are easy

>>52518662
>In the climatic TT battle, Eldrad and Abaddon killed each other dead

They didn't. Abaddon killed the generic Farseer who was accompanying Eldrad as part of the Seer Council, but Eldrad himself wasn't injured.

I was checking the 1dchan tactics page for the thousand sons and they mention "minor psychic powers" that every thousand son sorcerer should have. I looked in my wrath of magnus rule book but I could not find those psychic powers.

Somebody know where I can find them?

Do Iron Hands use no Terminators according to the fluff?
I find no way of including Terminators in a Fist of Medusa except for a first company strike force.
