I just saw some pictures...

 

I was wondering if, the chaos-warrior sorcerer of Tzenth, did the women absolutely have to wear Breast-plate as in D&D style?  Or can they wear heavy plate that pretty much hide everything and cover it all (up to a point it might be hard to say it is a woman or a man under)?

 

I mean, I have nothing against them...just wondering if it was enforced as it, or if it was an option?  Let's say a girl want to look like the killing machine, I dunno, a Breast-Plate is cute, but...something more like an armored tank might be better looking for what she wants.

 

Anyway, anything is cool, just asking...

Well, I think the breastplates are anatomically correct. They aren't Lineage sort of things :P they seem like realistic armor. If you're making something as ridigid as armor, you don't really need to account for that sort of thing, it's not like you can't just ignore them.

Who knows if you'll be able to control size :P I doubt it because more models will slow up the game for RvR, I think people would rather see diverse armor than diverse wire frames, especially if the only difference is a small chest.

I guess you could try to balence it out by making it thicker on the bottom but that would be terribly stupid for combate or even long distance walking.

I don't really see your point that a breakplate is 'cute'? If you take into account that the male armor is Tier 4 and Female Armor is Tier 3, they seem to be just as intimidating. I don't really think that seeing a curve in the armor takes away from that. In fact, this is some of the most subtle fan-fare I've ever seen.

You have to take into account that these are wizards too. They probably won't be tanking too much. For all we know we might of already seen the Female Chaos Warrior and din't know it
