@sisterofsilence legit looking armour ideas for sisters of battle

Yes plz

There are so many ways to depict warrior women as majestic and powerful, even if you limit yourself to European stylings of particular eras.

More the shame that so many people seem determined to recycle the same ridiculous outfit ideas over and over.

Though I gotta point out, the first image seems to portray Joan in a scalemail boobplate, which makes me think the artist didn’t take a real armor as a reference. My hope is they would portray the scales as skin-tight on male pecs as well.

I’m starting to feel that some of those ridiculous projects are made not necessarily just to pander to cishet men, but (also?) to spite anyone who’s upset by female sexualization. 

I refuse to think ALL THAT was made with zero self-awareness, only because the creators genuinely thought those miniatures were “sexy” and “cool”. No-one would go this overboard with objectifying women without knowing exactly what the reactions would be.

Also seems like Prodos Games gained some infamy amongs their Alien vs. Predator Kickstarter backers for delayed and incomplete deliveries. Funny thing how awful sexist design goes hand in hand with shitty business practices.

Commenter, David McGuire, pointed this company out a couple of months ago when the BattleSister with Anal Hook figure was featured.

As he mentioned there, the company got hammered on DakkaDakka – which means that even the infamous Warhammer 40K bros thought this was too ridiculous. Which is kind of impressive when you consider jokes about the 40K world are funny because they’re true.

Prodos were, in fact, so ridiculed they ended up making a PG-13 version.  Ridiculed by a populace who are generally comfortable with repentant warrior nuns running around in kinky leather/latex lingerie.
