How is the situation with women characters in AoS?
Bit of a sausage fest so far, though there is a female PoV character in 'Gate of Azyr', and she's pretty cool.
War Storm is the first proper novel, so shall know more once I've read it.
I was half expecting her to join the Stormcast. After all there's no reason why there couldn't be ladies inside all that armour.
Well, so far there's nothing to say they're all blokes.
Also pre-ordered The Search for Ghal Maraz. Shall pick it up Saturday, and probably do a separate thread.
First story in 'War Storm' finished...shall wait until I've read the remaining two.
Also, second part of 'Call of Archaon' is out...
Yeah, that'd go over well, just tell the women that, "Sure, there's women in some of those suits of armor, but they accept being made to look like men rather than how they looked in life, because... um... reasons."
Seriously, any explanation you give for that would sound incredibly sexist. But I'd love to see them try.
Yeah.
Easy peasy.
So far, there is nothing to suggest all Stormcast Eternal's are male, or that you cannot Stormcast Eternal a female.
Lack of PoV characters so far doesn't rule it out - who knows what will happen in future stories?
None of the Stormcast Eternals look how they looked in life, the Reforging changes them, they still retain their minds and memories, at least parts of them. Women having the same armour as the men is fine, they're swollen with power to be more massive and powerful than space marines, any sexual characteristics or identifying features would be subsumed by that.
I don't think you understand what sexism is Erik.
White Dwarf talks of a minor character in the Quest for Ghal Maraz who has an affect on one the battle plans who is presumably female too, the Silver Maiden, apparently she has an interaction with Ionus Cryptborn in the fluff, who we've already found out isn't quite the same as the rest of the Stormcasts.
