New moderator

As I mentioned before, for almost 13 months BABD was a one-woman project done in my free time, but with the sudden surge of popularity, due to Female Armor Bingo’s popularity (thanks to many factors, like reblogs from Anita Sarkeesian, Matt Rhodes controversy and geek media coverage in general) it can no longer be so.

Bikini Armor Battle Damage always took being as professional as possible as its big priority, and with 3k + followers it is expected to maintain a regular blog schedule, which I can not do on my own (real-life stuff).

With that in mind, from now on I share moderating duties in here with wincenworks who’s been a friend to the cause for a long time and with whom I co-moderate Disqus comments on eschergirls.

Please give a warm welcome to the new mod!

What is your opinion regarding the Adepta Sororitas’ (Warhammer 40k) armor? The flaws that I can see are their boob-sock-plate-torpedo-things and the general lack of a helmet. Are there any other flaws that you can point out? The ask does not allow links, or I just do not know how to properly add one, sorry. :<

Here’s why I’m not the person to ask such questions, in case you missed the note…
…BUUUUT it just happens that the very first submission to this blog was a very comprehensive article my friend wrote about Sisters of Battle, especially Sisters Repentia.

In short, Warhammer 40k is pretty ridiculous by definition, but regular Sisters have surprisingly decent armor (for the standards of such setting, that is), with the only major fault being the boobplate
With Sisters Repentia though, as much as the idea of redemption by death is interesting, there is no reason why their death-wish outfits need to be the skimpy, pants-lacking, physics-defying… uh, this:

And these aren’t even the most blatant sisters repentia outfits I’ve seen. As of regular sisters of battle, sometimes they are drawn with high heels, but on the other hand, sometimes they have helmets and not a boobplate, so this balances it out.

Attractive armor without bikini

Armor bikini shows how tasteless a designer is. If talented artist wants to show attractiveness of a woman he will draw something like this.

GORGEOUS! A bit too skin-tight for my sensibilities, but definitely shows tons of talent and creativity compared to the generic bikini armor.
