  1. Did you tell us to not preorder games that aren't remotely done yet when we are not willing to risk that the money is basically down the drain? Did you tell us not to get too attached to things devs talk about when they haven't developed them yet?

    Then yes, I welcome you to say "I told you so"^^

    Something tells me Male Banshees will be seen as Females.

    I mean it makes sense. I think Female Banshees view their Male counterparts as Female/Sisters. Not to mention I think they get boob plate as well.

    Who knows, I'm tempted to see how it works. I just want Dark Reapers to be good since I doubt Shining Spears will ever exist in this game. Maybe Shadow Specters? Pls?

    Yes.

    I've also managed to predict most of the shortcomings during development before they happened (RIP open world, RIP tyranids).

    When they dropped some big things like the massive maps and tyranid interaction on battle I lost the little "hype" I had (Im not really a hype person at all) and while the progress IS slow I can see its not a vaporware game, so Im not really upset by time problems at all. (I knew most of the first promises were too high for non mayor-studios and that in alpha/beta games can really change)

    I just want a good shooter were I can play as a mighty eldar, thats the reason why I founded the game and waiting 3 months or 1 year more wont make a difference for me if its delivered and its fun.

    so why would a male wearing eldar armour have "boob plates"?

    *sigh* Look I know other races see Eldar as gay, but can we please not actually be gay? Pretty please?

    Easier that way to enter in night clubs. That's what Sanguinius has done for centuries.

    While I don't disagree in principle with the 'female symbolism doesn't require crossdressing' argument you are working on a false assumption, two of them actually.
    Firstly that the body armour is entirely flexible and form fitting.
    Are the shoulder plates flexible? No? Then the flexible undersuit probably includes rigid plates.

    Secondly why would a warrior of either sex choose to wear armour with boobs?
    You are basically engineering a concavity right into the middle of the chest plate that will serve to funnel projectiles directly to the best place to cause massive internal injury.

    So if reason has any place in this (ofc as it's GW there's a decent argument that it shouldn't) then ALL boob shaped armour must be cosmetic, and as the Aspect warriors are basically Eldar LARPers, play acting a mythic role then it follows that the boob armour is symbolic, not functional.... Either that or the Eldar are morons.
