Hordes is a game about groups of giant monsters led by someone with magic, beating the every-living crap out of each other for glory and profit.

So naturally Privateer Press want to release these as their convention only special/novelty units – they’re such a great way to encapsulate the game!  Anyone who comes across these at a convention is going to immediately understand what Hordes is about… right?

The cheesy names on those figures… they hurt almost as much as the shameless fanservice.

The incredibly imaginatively named game, Chaos, immediately provides this imagery if you look up how to play. By itself is bad enough to be prime BABD material even without us having the conversation about why is the Paladin (a known of renown chivalry and heroism) half naked and looking away from the fight… but then it manages to get worse.

Yup… a swordsman can be the almighty emperor… but not a paladin… well not dressed like that. (Again developers, if the outfits you give your female characters mean you can’t take them seriously… maybe redesign, just a friendly suggestion)

Of course, the other thing the site really wants to show you about the world you’re going to be the almighty emperor of is… apparently double standards in dress code are a universal standard there:

Also there’s someone with a horn but since they’re off to the side we should infer they’re nowhere near as important as the mystic lingerie display.

Bingo done by our reader nibelung

The more images of Niele’s outfit I manage to find and the more I have her “reasons” for it explained, the less sense she makes.

As nibelung informed us, she’s not even choosing to dress like that, her magic staff MAKES her clothes transform into… whatever that’s supposed to be.
She even gets berated for being coerced into wearing only belts. The speech bubble in the fourth image translates to “Don’t you have any shame?”.

Because that’s so totally is a fool-proof excuse for having a character run around virtually naked: “A wizard magical artifact did it!”

While there’s much debate over whether the game is empowering or exploitative, satirical or failing at being satire, Juliet Starling’s Sexy Rider outfit from Lollipop Chainsaw does have one quality that made it perfect for bingo.

It’s the outfit that Jessica Nigri was wearing during her tour as a booth babecostumed representative at PAX when she was asked to change into something less provocative or stay off the floor.  So let’s see how it looks on a real person who is more or less the right build for the character:

Yeah, this is why we have difficulty taking people seriously when they insist there’s nothing wrong with these kinds of outfits – you can totally look like a badass in them.
