Thread 96505356

I don't even care she's a woman, but this character does not look remotely evil or menacing. She doesn't look like a "Dark" Eldar. You can't even tell if she's a generic fanatasy hero or not, they all have the same dumb blank but stern expression.

She should be cackling evily at the torment of her enemies, not making that same face Rey always did in Disney Star Wars.. Hell she even has normal colored skin when DE are meant to be sickly pale from soul consumption.

ngl shes kinda giving me DEI vibes

This is a poor-quality thread, but OP's also correct.

>>96505356 (OP)
>he made a whole thread to say the female face looks bad on a GW paint job

>>96505356 (OP)
A thread died for this.

>>96505356 (OP)

The veil option makes me think of a Mortal Kombat character.

>all covered up generic and safe
This is pretty bad. Boring too.
Man, I hope GW never "update" daughters of khaine now.

I think these are genuinely better.

>>96505356 (OP)
Is this the Baldur's Gate 3 girl?

>>96505388
Actually face isn't even that bad. OP pointed out, that she doesn't fit very well as some sort of Queen Bitch of the entire specie of sadistic maniacs

>>96505397
>looks like a mortal kombat character
Well don’t sell me on her. Someone once said the necromancy spyre hunters looks like the Toby McGuire spider man movie green goblins and now they’re still in my pile of shame.

>>96505486
Ah goddammit

>>96505356 (OP)
I just didn't think she'd be Chinese.

40k once again getting the B team model designers

>>96505453
>she doesn't fit very well as some sort of Queen Bitch of the entire specie of sadistic maniacs
Yeah, and the reasons he gave boiled down to the face being painted poorly. With the right skin tone and shading she will look a lot more cunty.

>>96505525
Kill Team, AoS, Necromunda and Blood Bowl keep eating good.

>>96505486

Have you thought about painting them a color besides metallic green?

I mean, they're basically rich jocks adventuring for fun right? I think you'd see loud personalized colors. Like medieval knights or the garish colors on some rogue trader marines.

>>96505530
Pic unrelated?

>>96505400
She's an archon, not a succubus.

>>96505531
>AoS
LOL
LMAO

>>96505583
no

>>96505400
>Man, I hope GW never "update" daughters of khaine now.
You are too late, they already introduced Witches with pants in Underworld.
But this is unironically a good thing

>>96505610
Boo.

>>96505635
Hey it's original design from AoS team you've been begging for. Previous DoK models were made by different people, for different setting.

>>96505606
The bulls cool, the other models are fine they just need another paint job. Compare those to new 40k models like OP, Sanguinary Guard, or Inquistor Coteaz which no coat of paint will fix how boring they are.

>>96505648
You are now writing fanfiction.

>>96505655
>Compare those to new 40k models like OP,
OP is way cooler than WoW rejects. Not even mentionning amount of customization comming with that kit.
>Sanguinary Guard, or Inquistor Coteaz
Bad for 40k, average sigmarines for AoS

>>96505667
How so? Original DoK models are older than AoS.

>>96505682
That I'm begging for GW to do bullshit.

>>96505670
>amount of customization comming with that kit.
It isnt even on par the with chaos lords

>>96505692
-> >>96505531

On the brighter side...
- Named character model
- Tactical Rock™ isn't completely egregious

>>96505356 (OP)
You can paint her however you want. Pale skin, red/green hair and she will look like an appropriate dark eldar

>>96505606
Still mogs most recent 40k releases

>>96505606
I like it.

>>96505796
Actually it doesn't.

>>96505802
Okay Gavin.

>>96505356 (OP)
She looks like she runs a rub'n'tug...

>>96505606
Helsmiths of Hashut look cool. Only the TOW faggots cry about them because they are not copy-paste Fantasy Chorfs (and because they are TOW faggots, they hate everything, even their own game; thats why they dont play it).

About OP, i think the problem with that model is the face. Its too plump and happy

>>96505535
>Have you thought about painting them a color besides metallic green?
Yeah only one was gonna be green ish. Doing a color shifty power rangers theme with them when I get around to them. Just trying to find the right metallics

>>96505964
cmon anon you can try to make an argument

>>96506009
There are no need for any argument. Post cool dudes first.

>>96505356 (OP)
I'm huffin some serious hopium for a Duke Sliscus and three armed big mandrake man models too down the line

>>96505530
The metal version of her moggs hard

>>96505356 (OP)
I looked at the image before reading the post and thought: "there's nothing wrong with it, it's quite inoffensive" and then realised that that's the problem. Her face is so bland.

you can cover her face

>>96505356 (OP)
At least she looks like a woman rather than a dysgenic inclusive potato-troon.

>>96506751
desu I like the Veil option way more

>>96505597
Anon, don’t you know that women aren’t allowed to wear more than a single napkin’s worth of cloth? Anything more is a sign of the woke mind virus and the dreaded specter of DEI.

>>96506766
it legit looks like a troons self insert

it’s on purpose the whole brand is moving away from darkness and horror to a more comic book sensibility

>>96505356 (OP)
Imo, it should be a darker paintjob. Blue and gold look too noble.

>>96506751
People would like a uncovered version that fits the faction aesthetic.

>>96507309
that must be why the latest black templar codex emphasized how they are teamkilling idiots with a mega hate boner for psykers and the grey knights codex was about how they are a shell organization crippled after the great rift formed

>>96505356 (OP)
... Honestly, the only thing wrong with it the absolute non-expression she has for the pose she's making. Like, you're doing a Captain Morgan, woman, and you've got your weapons raised- why do you look like you're bored out your gourd instead of showing even a touch of contempt for plebs or someshit?

Also, I've just notice the light in her eyes looks like it's mirrored from this angle.

>>96505368
true

>>96505356 (OP)
Get real problems.

>>96505397
Yeah I can see it
wish we had more MK aesthetics in Warhammer, Cathay would have been much better for it.

so basically some one in GW got a hard on for the shart, and decided it'd be a good idea to change space elf faction from baldies with funny ponytails and moving toward fantasy elves?

>>96507392
"People" like to bitch and whine.

>>96505356 (OP)
Malys is kind of the "good" dark eldar character, at least compared to Vect

>>96507610
yeah, it's just not properly dark eldar without that signature look of superiority

>>96505397
>>96505356 (OP)
I think she's cute

>>96510683
She (nearly) killed Cato Sicarius in a duel iirc.
That makes her good in my book.

>>96505356 (OP)
she's a based duck

>>96505902
>they are not copy-paste Fantasy Chorfs
Chorf guy here.
1. i did not want weird fisherprice balls on all my weapons
2. the hats are too samey
3. there are bald chorfs
I wouldn't have any problems with them if they fixed that and trimmed back the warcraft,
why the fuck does the banner need a bound demon ball?

>>96505356 (OP)
She's a good model, and academically the face kinda works, in that she's a healthy Trueborn with conventionally beautiful features and is mostly pretty jaded to everything in existence.

But she is a kit that would benefit from a couple more different head options.
>Masked.
>Fun Helmet.
>Bored, placid, slightly sleepy look.
>Arrogant and disgusted.
>Smug grin of feline bullshittery.
The list goes on.

>>96505356 (OP)
She looks good, hell with a decent paintjob she could probably be one of the most attractive 40k minis.
But her face just doesn't look as "sharp" as I feel Eldar should look. Like Eldar always seem to have sharp or angled features, like pointy chins, or high cheekbones and angled jaws, but she doesn't really seem to have any of that. It's too smooth and undefined. Her face looks more human then Eldar.

But is it just me, or does she kinda look like she has a bit of an "e-thot"? Like all she's missing is a light smattering of "artistic" freckles and some make up.

Why is an expressionless Cathay person leading dark eldar???

>>96515301
becuse muh dik

>>96505356 (OP)

Is that Shadowheart?

I thought that was a surprisingly fitting Cathay head on a Delf release.
That's the actual release model?

>>96505606
>posts cool as fuck picture
>"heh, this will show them"

>>96515937
>>96516066
...they just fucking copied BG3, huh.

Should’ve made her look more like her TTS counterpart

>>96519295
Should have copied the crazy bhaalspawn chick instead

>>96505397
Mileena in one of the ps2 games

>>96512419
I get the feeling a little painted eye shadow and sallow cheeks would go a long way to making her look more like a traditional DEldar
