Why is it we can have disgusting looking models but not boobies?

[RGilbert26]

Has anyone else noticed that GW has increased the amount of 'disgusting' models it has to compensate for the fact that they can't have too many boobies on their models?

Here are three of the most recent examples of this...

Nurgle Plaguebears - [url]http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?prodId=prod1630117a[/url]

Nurglings - [url]http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat440044a&prodId=prod1630 129a[/url]

...and the one of the most 'disgusting' models i have ever seen (i actually love the model, it just gurgles EWW!)

When you look at the opposite side of the table, Slaanesh just seems tame.

Has anyone else noticed this trend?

When you look at the opposite side spectrum, Slaanesh seems a bit tame.

It's like Holywood, you can show teens a guy being decapitated but not a breast or extra leg.

Death is easier to sell to parents when the media is already saturated with it.

The old slaanesh was pretty full on, and personally I'm starting a bits army that tries to bring a bit of that back.

Yeah there used to be some really good daemonettes.

but oh noes not bewbs!

[wittdooley]

Festus is so awesome. Haha. Also, good looking females are harder to sculpt than pustules and gross ****.

Yeah, the old Juan Diaz sculpts were the pinnacle of Slaanesh's power. They got everything right and never should have been retired. It's taken me ages to get enough to do the daemonette army I'm building.

I think boobs are the reason they're not repeating the Slaanesh Lord in Finecast alongside the other three chaos warrior models.

Although the blurb in the latest white dwarf for the Marauder Hellstriders did make me laugh when it described the Steeds of Slaanesh as having 'udders'. Just cause there's only one in the middle of it's chest, it's still boobs. Although I guess it's a step back in the right direction.

Yes they're the ones. I agree 100%

in the US we now have decaying zombies in candy commercials. Nurgle is tame. The commercials for silent hill revelation show things that even 10 years ago would have been extreme.

Just chiming in to say I agree, and it's stupid how afraid society (in particular American society - and by extension societies whose media has been affected by a lot of Americanization - like Canada's) is of human anatomy.

Well, anatomy in general, I guess - it's not like any of the animals/creatures in any GW ranges are anatomically correct.
I suppose it's just a lot more apparent/perplexing when the daemons representing a god of lust and hedonism are no less modest than anyone else where nudity is concerned.

[fuzzbuket]

because it is easier to sell zombie daemons than sex demons.
