Kreidian Posted October 8, 2009 Author Share Posted October 8, 2009 This is what I was talking about earlier in the thread as far as shaping a breast plate as opposed to shaping breasts -> http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/9030/dscn0297.jpg (forgive the painting ><; ) Oh, I like that, looks pretty nice. I'll have to try something like that and see what I come up with.

Gyson_Vore Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 I like the first one far better than the second, the helmet just doesn't seem right for a female marine model. Not because they wouldn't use them, the second one just looks a little... silly. Nice work overall, hope to see some more.

greese_m0nkey Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 One thing I was wondering is why the bumps in the armor in the first place. If you look at modern body armor our troops are wearing there is no difference between male or female it is all flat. There is no special made armor to fit the curves of a woman. Other than that models look great can’t wait to see them painted.

MagneticFreak Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Trying to reduce the waist is a good idea. In fact, I wouldnt resculpt the whole armor, but its true that redistribution of weight might carry a more feminine silhouette. Older marines model could do fine. Frankly, marines were just not designed to carry female models at all. It looks silly and odd when one wants to adjust a ceramite plating to brest size, thats all. Eldar armour, on the opposite, is made of phycho plastics, which adapts to the silhouette. Female scouts would be just brilliant.

Hell a power armor string bikini would give them a +1 invulnerable save and Eternal warrior for crying out loud!

If you look at modern body armor our troops are wearing there is no difference between male or female it is all flat. There is no special made armor to fit the curves of a woman. Other than that models look great can’t wait to see them painted. I think its partly aesthetic and partly thematic. Which is also why i refused to go the SoB route. Cant stand the look of them or the fluff and rules. I want big hulking amazonians that most lads would be scared to look at twice. In my fluff most of the females fit into the marine armour. Those that dont, undergo a ritual called 'the searing' where they cauterise off their breasts (a shout out to amazonian culture where the women would cut off one of their breasts in order to fire bows better). Those that have undergone that ritual receive special ornate armour - with the breast plates.

Sister Kyrie Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Don't you knwko the rules of fantasy/scifi armor? the more useless and sexually revealing the armor is, the more protective it is. Hell a power armor string bikini would give them a +1 invulnerable save and Eternal warrior for crying out loud! Win! :( But yes, breasts would fit inside the power armor just fine. They do squish, and if your armor is so tight that they wouldn't fit in, it's not going to do a very good job of dissapating impacts anyway. Usually, I don't like boobs on (marine) power armor, but I think the OP did a very nice job with it. One thought, that may help reduce the "coconut bra" effect: file a grove into the middle of the breast plate, and blend the bumps into it. (here's a good example of armor w/boobs http://swordmaiden.com/armor/jurgen/) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/180306-theyre-in-let-the-creative-juices-flow/page/3/#findComment-2144748 Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife and I do living history and both participate in armoured combat. My wife's armour has breasts molded into it simply because she wants her opponent to know he was bested by a woman.

The emperors chosen Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 The first one seems more natural, the second marine seems like it has two balls on it's chest I like the idea of the armor,but don't make the breastplate that big, a small curve outward (like the first one) is in my opinion a lot better Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/180306-theyre-in-let-the-creative-juices-flow/page/3/#findComment-2145158 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haakon_Stormbrow Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 has anyone considered that maybe there could be a sister force on fenris albeit a small one that is not well known, it is quite possible, it would not be emperor worshipers, but rather a church devoted to the fenrissian gods including russ and his mighty father, you could then run a sister/wolves allied army in some games as desired, imagine using seraphims as valkaries (not the gunships).

Ktan Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 I agree with Morticon. Instead of simply adding boobs, make the armour look more feminine. You could cut the armour around the torso to give a more feminine appearance. Maybe add breasts too, but power armour is so bulky that it may well just hide any bust. OFC, I understand that IRL body armour is body armour, and there is little difference in modern equipment, but from an artistic standpoint it would probably be worth leaving a clear distinction between a feminine marine and a masculine one.

Forseti Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 These are still my favourite Shield Maidens/Female SW of all time..Sorry can't find a bigger pic, in a WD a few years back there was a nice big one with a description of how he made them (He put the torso on upside down, creating a thinner waist and more of a bust) http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b98/caledor/uk03_40ksquad_1.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/180306-theyre-in-let-the-creative-juices-flow/page/3/#findComment-2145561 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ktan Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 ^Picture above^ That was actually the model I was thinking of when I typed my earlier post ;p Ofc, IMO, that one takes it to the other extreme. You want a happy middle ground. Also, the beaky does suit the feminine look very well.

Nadir Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Those shield maidens were made by putting SM torsos upside down, and green stuffed legs if I remember correctly.
