No tits, no ass, bad hair. Are you also attracted to 8 year olds?

I think those are the dudes.

 

[Peachcurl]

I think those are the dudes.

If only.

It is possible, but Wyches are mostly female.

 

[Harthwain]

I think those are the dudes.

Could be skinny bitches with shitty goth/punk haircuts too though. This is exactly why I don't like the twig women and prefer them meaty in all the right places.

TBH fam, I thought that the Dark Eldar (and especially Wyches) will either get hyper-sexualised (a respectable approach) or will go for the maximum fucked up/BDSM/goth look. The artwork they presented is no fap material, but it doesnt provoke disgust either - its really like something out of a sunday morning cartoon (and honestly the animated Battletech series for example had wilder shit than this). Weak.

If they dont want to make Eldar hot space elves, they should go for the proper alien representation at least. I mean I sure as fuck wouldnt realise those are supposed to be Dark Eldar Wyches if the picture didnt have it written on it and that´s a pretty good sign they are doing it wrong.

 

[Thonius]

Uh I think RT uses Dark Eldar, right?

 

[Parsimonious cook]

PnP Rogue Trader featured both as NPCs/enemies, though as far as I know only Dark Eldar had stats for playable characters (they had their own sourcebook).

That what I meant, I think orcs are on the table too.

NPCs literally using zoomer slang

Yeah, it's unfortunatly just a bland copy paste of the most recent mini for wyches.

 

[Mauman]

Eldar and Tau are most friendly races for the Imperium and humans will gladly kill them with fire, we love the setting for other things.

The Eldar...the same group that literally let millions of humans die to save a (comparatively) much smaller group of their own?

The Tau....the same group that perform mass brainwashing and sterilization on their own allies? Especially the poor schmucks they persuade to betray their former teams and side with them?

There are reasons why the Imperium has taken a "keep finger on trigger" policy to these groups when dealing with them.

 

[Thonius]

YEAH but rules mention DARK Eldar! I mean someone posted video here that looks over all carrier paths and such. Cant find anything mentioning them in open sources...
At any rate ork frebota or no buy!

 

[S.H.O.D.A.N.]

We are a poisoned dagger thrust into the heart of the foe

Damn, I sure hope the actual game's writing will have more thought put into it.

Maybe I misunderstand your post, but Wyches are Dark Eldar... ?

Huh right I'm retarded, see I looked over at some wiki and they've send me to just eldar page. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogue_Trader_(role-playing_game)
You're correct. https://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Dark-Eldar-Wyches?_requestid=6620703

 

[Trithne]

Wait, so wych (heh) is it?

* Eldar are too human like, they're supposed to be impossibly lithe and slender by human standards, clearly alien.
* These Eldar aren't conventionally hot enough by human standards for me, knees too pointy, 0/10 would not bang.

The wychs are, as was mentioned, basically just the gw models. The Eldar ideal of beauty isn't T&A, so why would wychs have fat asses?

 

[CthuluIsSpy]

Yeah, Eldar don't even have human anatomy. Big titties and arses shouldn't be a thing on them.
40k isn't Mass Effect, no banging aliens here. Unless it's with a gun, that is.

In literally any other setting the Tau would be the villains. It's just that everything is so fucked and the Tau are a little more subtle than the Imperium with their dickery that they look good by comparison. They're still cunts.

how bout 3 boobs, that sufficiently non-human?

(in more seriousness, "don't even have human anatomy" is just not true.)

Eh, I vaguely recall throwaway lines about Half-Eldar in RT, since D&D had Half-Elves so of course that was a thing, but even if the Eldar is fuckable, she shouldn't be into it the way a human is.

Knowing Owlcat she's probably a lesbian.

I meant more like in terms of how it works internally. Apparently Eldar crap out crystals when they defecate, for example. I'm not even sure Eldar babies drink milk. No milk, no mammary glands, no tits.

Does RT even count though? Rogue Trader is so far apart from 40k it's arguably not even the same setting. More like a prototype for what turn into 40k.

okay, that pooping thing is some interesting detail I never knew I missed

About milk, that would be a fair point, if true. Doesn't exactly match with the GW miniature design though, but of course those are not really necessarily consistent.

See, e.g., the Link Thonius posted. https://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Dark-Eldar-Wyches?_requestid=6620703

Owlcat's game based on the Rogue Trader TTRPG by Fantasy Flight Games. Not on the first edition of 40k.
