If i may add to this thought,I came into this assuming that they'd have their tits hanging out and was not surprised to see I was right.
Is it too much to ask to have a selection of female models we can use in public without making people's wives/girlfriends/mothers and in general store owners mad at us?
"Sex sells" (or so the claim goes), especially to nerds. I prefer stuff I can share and enjoy publically without looking like I'm some kind of pervert. It's easier to explain why I have Daemons on my painting space than topless women anyways.I appreciate the talent and workmanship that went into sculpting these, but I'd prefer seeing miniatures that can fit into the 40k universe as seamlessly as possible. I'm an adult with an active sex life and a love for porn, so perhaps I just don't need to be aroused by miniatures. I'm willing to entertain the notion that nudity in art has its place, but so many of these miniatures are just charicatures of women: huge rack, naked for some reason, in some sexual pose. I must point out that Vinni's sculpts don't have horrible looking gargantuan breasts, and they're ready to fight, which is sort of why I don't understand why the sexual aspect was included at all.
That all being said, if other people enjoy titties on the tabletop, enjoy those titties.
Look at the new releases at CMON: https://www.coolminiornot.com/shop/
Maybe this isn't perfectly indicative of all mini releases, but 9 of the new releases displayed on that page are topless women. Then scroll down to the bottom of the page and read popular search phrases and find the terms "girl" "female" and "nude". The majority of search terms aren't sexual, but a chunk of them are.
Having no real data to base this on, it does seem that selling naked women minis can be somewhat lucrative... whatever that means in this situation.
They are out there, though it is unfortunate you have to look so hard sometimes.I came into this assuming that they'd have their tits hanging out and was not surprised to see I was right.

I actually kind of like the ones you linked. If I ever do a Guard army I may get those.
That's why we have liquid green stuff.:so_happy:Vinni... you're a great sculptor. Purely from a sculpting standpoint, these are very well done. But seriously, dude? This looks like something that crawled out of a porno forcing itself onto 40k. Nobody could actually take these models out and play with them in public, and honestly, I always found the people who are like "heh, heh, I'm gonna sit here and paint 28mm scale boobehs" to be amongst the saddest of basement trolls.
I like boobs as much as the next guy, but you might want to offer versions with at least bras on (which they'd wear if they were fighting...) if only so people can have models they can play a game in public with...
You can close your eyes when I flash my junk in public, but it doesn't change that I'm waving my dick around, just like how it doesn't change that these models are sculpted this way if you cover them with green stuff. They're well sculpted, but really have no place in gaming. I'm not a prude. Fuck, I'm as lecherous as they come. I just think being the nerd going "teehee look at the little bewbs!" on plastic spacemen is creepy. It's one thing when it makes sense on the models, like on daemonettes or the Sisters Repentia who literally only are covered in prayer vellum because the only protection they need is the Emperor's. But random Guardsmen have no business being naked.That's why we have liquid green stuff.:so_happy:
I know. I was just making a smart ass remark.
