Well, hate is a strong word.
I think they're a bit over done, and the amount of attention that they get gets under my skin, but I guess it doesn't bug me that bad, because I still love the hobby and spend loads of money on it. Something GW is doing is working!
Slightly more on topic, I think a complete overhaul of Witch Hunters would do them good. The large breasted, dominatrix madam thing is a bit dorky, really. An all female warrior society who looked like they could actually be successful in a battle rather than in a shady club in LA would be awesome. As is, the faces of the Sisters of Battle look like men's faces with stupid, illogical ladies haircuts (that would get in their eyes and then they wouldn't see X nasty heretic sneaking up on them, etc.). An army of actual women with buzzed heads and less silly armor and more nasty piousness and fanatical devotion to the Emperor would be sweet. More Space Nun, less Space Transvestite.
On the other hand, a few more models, all plastics, and some rule tweaks would make me pick up Daemonhunters tomorrow. They are outrageously cool.
Goodbye Bols!

That is what I want...
& well maybe cheaper & awesomer Grey Knights...etc.
Only in death does duty end...
Imperial Guard W-8 L-16 D-7 Grey Knights(DH) W-6(1) L-8(5) D-3(1) Eldar W-1 L-3 T-1
*ignores Subject Keyword to avoid rage induction over some stupid crap he said, he knows what it is*
I think cheaper might not be called for... just better. A lot better.

Firstly you Subject Keyword with what you said it seems you want to see SoB less like females in armour and more like just another SM with a female head, there armour is what makes them unique to 40k, its supposed to be smaller, lighter yet just as strong in protection, how do you envision there armour then?? Plain and just with what a Habit?? and maybe the hint of armour underneath.
I agree the heads need work and as stated in this thread and others GW just lacks talented sculptors who can make correct female faces and bodies that are properly shaped to the female form.
On the topic though i can only hope GW justifies its upgrades and pays far more attention to details, i loved the codex WH, yes it has problems but i have to say the SoB miniature range is still to me on of the better appealing armies visually. Just wish GW would hire some more female sculptors to make any new plastic SoB looks more than all the same and more posable.

Someone over at Warseer says he thinks he saw some WIP GK knights, including a land raider variant of some sort. Or a land raider custom kit.
The last boy who made a rape joke around me (directed at me, in fact) I lifted off his feet by his scrotum, sadly the nature of the internet prevents recourse to such wholesome punishments.
Ask not the EldarGal a question, for she will give you three answers, all of which are puns and terrifying to know. Back off man, I'm a feminist. Ia! Ia! Gloppal Snode!
Someone on the IGMB said they heard the GK Terminators were near completion.

I predict after all the fantasy stuff during summer it will then go like this: Dark Eldar, Grey Knights/Daemon Hunters, Necrons, Sisters of Battle/Witch Hunters. This is just me guessing but gw seems to be release xeno, non-xeno, xeno, non-xeno... etc.
Ok, well, first off I am very sorry. I have a colorful sense of humor and out of context (on places like the internet) it can be misunderstood. Second of all, I am not a "boy" or a "he." I am an insane lesbian. My comment towards Melissia was half unnecessarily antagonistic, half my desire to turn everyone around me to the dark side. Perhaps something like "I could show you what you've been missing with men all these years" would have been more direct and less creepy. Rape is not funny to me, and some very personal experiences in my life that I will not go into have kept it not funny. And Sister Rosette Soulknyt, I "justify" that I know more about feminism because I am very close to a bachelors degree in it. Maybe my classes have got me a bit frustrated...
Again I'm sorry about not being more clear, going a bit too far with a joke, or being hurtful in any way. I know what it's like to be the target of people bullsh*tting, what with all the "all you need is a nice man to blah blah blah" flying around. I seem to get accidentally get other women angry a lot. Does this mean I'm an ineffective lesbian?
Oh, and Eldargal, if lifting me off the ground by my scrotum would make you feel better and make your feelings less hurt, I would be happy to let you get some revenge. Sadly, I do not have a scrotum, so you'd have to get creative.
