Seems that Raging Heroes existing female commissar sells so well they have given her an older and younger sister too. Here's the current one:

Kapitan Ivanka Kurganova

Her sisters:

Admiral Olga Kurganova and Kommander Malinka Kuganova

http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0034/6452/files/Olga-et-malinka-001.jpg?100844

Pretty nice figures for an Imperial Guard army/allied contingent I think, though in my opinion Malinka would be better without the eyepatch.

They are awesome models.

That being said, I wish women models didn't have to be sexy. Give me a grissly looking chick that actually looks like she can do battle.

Yeah, this. If we wanted over-sexualised stuff, we would just go and get it or google it, we don't need it in games. I automatically dislike any video game female character who is based upon her lack of clothes. So pointless when real people and the internet exist.

Nice models. Not commissars. Commissars enforce discipline. You don't do this by wearing your uniform incorrectly. Ie lady lumps hanging out all over the shop.

I echo the sentiment that they're great looking models, but they rather clash with the general atmosphere of 40K. "Admiral Olga" isn't so bad (though that might just be the lack of bright red pouty lips), but the other two look like they're standing there saying "Which one of you big strong men wants to serve the Emperor? *coquettish giggle*". I like the idea of Slaaneshi cultist leader though.

Agreed. I was just thinking the Admiral might make an alright Commissar model with a bit of green stuff to tone down her cleavage and a paint job indicative of leggings underneath those boots. The boots would still be pretty 'sexy', but at least then she'd look like a commissar and not a stripper dressed as one.

Her weapons also appear to be a little less ludicrous than those of her counterparts, which I think is a good thing in this case.

Have you SEEN the art of commissars with chainswords? They tend to be as big as the person........

Just awful. Those would be more at home on the front of a porno case than on a wargame table.

I am surprised then didn't just go for it and sculpt the hilt of the chainsword into a *****.

I think complaints about sexy models are kind of silly. Every model is an exaggerated (either to perfection or obscenity) example of things being bigger and larger than life. The models of Space Marines not in armor are ridiculously muscular with perfect chiseled jaws. The fact that exaggerated sexy for the brute male figure is also rampant is more or less ignored? :) Fictional characters are always portrayed as cartoon both in physique and sex appeal. The fact that female characters aren't well represented in the 40K universe simply makes these stand out more by lack of contrast. I say bring on the cheesecake as long as you do it well.

Kawauso
10-12-2012, 09:25 AM
I'm bisexual and I have to say that there really isn't anything about the models in the Space Marine ranges that lends itself to anything I would consider sexually appealing...

They're screaming bald men covered head to toe in bulky armour. The only place I think you could argue about sex appeal being present is the artificer armour the Blood Angels have.

Dark Eldar wyches are a place where sex appeal fits into the game well enough because of the styling of their armour (or half-armour), and they are indeed equal opportunity with depictions of male and female models in that regard.

Commissars tend to be pretty well-dressed individuals, on the other hand - not like these models.

You're kidding right? Pretty much all of the human male models are face-smashed ugly mugs who look like they've been in about as many wars as they have been.

The style of the Sisters of Battle is good really. Suited up in armour for protection, as they would be. You can tell they're female, but they aren't ridiculously sexualised. If you want them to be, you can just rule-34 them.

A good female soldier model is dressed the same as the male counterpart rather than the same but with a massive hole over the chest.

That's why I think the Admiral is the best of the three - easiest to tone down with a bit of green stuff and painting.

I try and go by the sculptor's intent, which is usually pretty obvious. The new Lilith Deldar model quite clearly says "This is a calm, deadly killer." - the vaporware's incidental. These ones say "Hey, men buy things that show off a perky pair of nips, right?" which, apart from a variety of social issues, feels damn silly.

<shrugs> I just care about cool looking models. Going with the whole "cinematic" feel, the heroes of the 40K (what rare ones there are that female) might as well look both dangerous and hot. I suppose I could go with the whole politically correct flow and say, "Oh my those are so sexist... or that just isn't realistic (like anything in 40K is)... or this is so pornographic..." but I won't. I'm a guy and if I'm going to look at little models of women they might as well be really good looking models of women.

It's really jarring is the thing. It makes no sense. Good-looking and sexy are not synonymous.

To me, wanting models in your army that are of the same sex to which you are attracted to be sexually appealing seems infantile in the context of a war game where the visual 'oomph' comes from showcasing an array of crazy warriors and warmachines from the far future. Like the sort of guy whose desktop background at work is a model in a bikini or something. :P

<chuckles> As jarring as weird Ork tech that only works because they think it does? :) Like the coyote in the old cartoons, he doesn't fall until he looks down. That isn't jarring at all. I could list twenty crazy things that happen in the 40K setting that don't make sense but are simply accepted. It is hard for me to buy that cleavage is the breaking point. Even so, we aren't talking about Power Armor here. The model I'm looking at is for an Imperial Guard or more likely a Renegade Guard leader (what I will use her for). She looks, in fact, like an evil pirate in the Girl Genius graphic novels. Let me see, which do I find more unlikely and crazy... that some evil gal would tramp up her uniform or that ork vehicles go faster because they are painted red?

Color me infantile. :) My background wallpaper is a picture of my cat so I guess that spoils my image a bit.

While I agree the sexuality of these models is a bit overdone, the details are really cool and they would also be really fun to do for slaanesh traitor guard.

TBH though Lilleth Hesperex is even more scantilly clad and she is an official GW miniature, though there is a little more emphasis on thong and less on breasts.

Unless we're talking about Daemonettes.

Personally I think Slaanesh stuff could go a bit more in this direction in some ways - both male and female. But I think a god/daemons of lust and excess get a pass, there.

You realise you were the one who brought PC/sexism into it? No one else mentioned anything about PC and sexism, they spoke of the models not fitting the role of a grizzled, fanatical commissar. Which I would agree with. I'm all for a bit of cheesecake but in my opinion these go too far given what they are trying to portray, and I say this as a big fan of Raging Heroes. There is a difference between 'dangerous and hot' and 'looks like a stripper with a plastic gun'. Somehow I doubt you would be as keen if they released a male commissar looking like this (http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_G9IrxA5RGy8/S-QicOCnGJI/AAAAAAAAEf8/Rmbc1Pj83o4/s1600/speedo_student_hawaii.jpeg).

I still think the older one, Ivanka, is decent enough, it is the two new ones that stray a bit too far into the cheesecake for my taste.

They definitely dont fit the role of the commisar, thought hey have a fun design anyway. While if I played IG I would probably not run these ladies as my commisar, at the very least I would buy these models as fun display pieces. First and foremost I am a modeller, and stuff like this can just be a lot of fun to paint, though I am atrocious with skin.

As a few people have touched on, the difference between these and say Lelith is that Lelith still looks like she could slice you to thin red ribbons. These commissars don't look like they could discipline anybody except in a hotel room for a steep hourly rate. I also don't think Lelith's model really flaunts the sexuality too much. I mean yes, she's quite exposed (but in a context where she would be), but she's not dolled up, licking her lips with a seductive tilt of the hips. The commissars break the sense of verisimilitude of the setting.

In the future there is only war. Heh. We can't have any sexiness getting in the way of our violence porn. ;) While I also found SuckPunch entirely pointless and clearly only an excuse to put young girls in revealing outfits in which to kick butt, it isn't as if the universe of 40K is treasure chest of character development and/or meaning. Both are simply means to an end and that end is a pornographic experience. One features violence. The other features sex and violence.

I'm not going to mince words about it because I find the whole issue silly. The 40K universe doesn't make anymore sense than SuckerPunch or any other vehicle to create a specific and largely unchanging situation in which to showcase an exploitable, salacious bit of entertainment. I enjoy the game/hobby as much as any of you but I have no illusions about what it represents which is nothing more than American "fake" Wrestling translated for geeks, nerds, and wargamers. "I'm the biggest, baddest, toughest hombre in the universe and when you get in the ring with me I will KILL you. I'm going to maim you. You will wish you were NEVER born." Answered by, "I'm the biggest monster in this ring and all the world will see it! You will rue the day you crossed the Undertaker." :) And so it goes, on and on, with an endless war between odd factions whose sole purpose is war. The "cinematic" experience is one of a bloody battles fought over and over again, murder porn. :)

So are we talking art here? Are we talking prudery? Is the sexy getting in the way of good Kill-On? :) I'm not trying to sow conflict for conflict's sake. I understand those who simply say the model doesn't look good or "right" to them, but I find the arguments as to "why" somewhat suspect. I've read enough of the 40K novels to know that sex goes along with the violence and there are more than a few characters that actually LOOK like some of these oversexed political and military models. Where is the disconnect? Is it my exposure to the novels which is making the sexy killers seem perfectly legitimate to me?

The issue most people are having with the models are that they do not fit in with the established look of commissars (specifically that they look like strippers cosplaying commissars), not that 40k is high art or that slutty female models are bad. Go look at Raging Heroes Blood Vestals. They are bare breasted for the most part. Few have kickd up a fuss because the fantasy ones fit with the Witch Elf aesthetic and the scifi ones fit with the Wych/Bloodbride aesthetic.

Take this female commissar type model from War Forge:
http://www.gardenninja.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/imperial-guard_1/female-commissar-1.jpg
It's still cheesecake, with teh ridiculous heels and low cut top. Totally impractical. But she looks like she means business and she could pass for a commissar in my opinion. The RH sculps, as I've said, look like strippers cosplaying commissars. Which is fine, but it is clearly not what people want. In my opinion they have verged a little too far towards the slutty end of the scale to make credible tabletop models, though they are still fun sculpts to paint and have on display.

Fair enough and I don't take ANY issue if someone comes out and says I don't like the models. I just think the gut reaction to them is a bit over zealous perhaps? My own reaction is tempered by seeing some of the evil witches in 40K novels and having them described in both behavior and dress that could easily be seen as those models. The aesthetic doesn't bother me. I kind of like over the top which is what 40K appears to be all about. That being said....

"Tell the truth and shame the devil..." I have no doubt those models are designed in part because of the artists love of doing attractive stripper cheesecake and the company's belief that appealing to a lurid interest in such models will make them money. My answer to that simple truth is "so what?" If you don't like a model you don't buy a model. I see bad models, poorly done conversions, and fluff inappropriate things on the table all the time but they clearly appeal to the person who spent time doing it so who am I to judge. Aesthetic choices, I think we can all agree, are entirely subjective. Going after oversexed stripper Kommisars seems just as juvenile as the models under discussion. :) We are talking about toys in a silly universe which is just as pornographic (albeit with violence) as any 70s exploitation film. Hell there are entire cultures devoted to nothing but torture and depravity. I like the model. It fits the theme I'm going to do with my Traitor Guard and their Belit-style pirate leader. :D Just think of my stripper Kommisar as my homage to the Queen of the Black Cost of deep space. :)

Maybe they work better as Inquisitors playing strippers pretending to be commissars...

Daemonettes of Slaanesh. Definitely. To keep the Guardsmen from doing their job.

I can't see the proplem with them (but hey I'm 16 guy) they may not fit for some people, but I think they would do good to break up some armys like the catchan they should make one just for them ;) or the cadian as they are to proper, would i use them? yes, but mostly for display or to have on my desktop with my paints ect

Just because a setting has extreme or over the top elements doesn't mean it can't have limits, and it certainly doesn't mean it can't have internal consistency. The fact that daemons, magic, and space elves exist in the setting doesn't mean that anything goes. A defining characteristic of the setting (and for many, part of it's appeal) is the overbearing grimness and bleakness of it. It's a vein that runs through even the silliest and most outlandish elements like Orks, who routinely butcher entire planets and brutally kill every man woman and child because they're genetically engineered war beasts.

If Mat Ward wrote in a new SM gun that fired unicorns and pixie farts, it's not valid to dismiss criticism of that by saying "There's already crazy stuff, get over it!" Obviously, sexy commissars aren't so bad, but the same concept applies and Eldargal put it very succinctly--it's not that there's sex appeal getting in the ultraviolence, it's getting in in the wrong places and breaking the verisimilitude. I don't think anyone would take issue with sexy Wyches or Daemonettes (I like the Blood Vestals), but there's a very set idea of a commissar as a grizzled, hard-nosed veteran in charge of disciplining soldiers, and looking like a stripper doesn't gel with that.

On topic i would say the chance to sleep with a commissar that looks like that might make my troops fight harder.......

I agree with the general sentiment here, interesting models, but not commissars. on the other hand, they are a hundred times better than the converted female commissar that went into the old guard codex that was based on the dark elf sorceress, now there was a stripper.

Fine, I'll make my own Commissars. With blackjack! And hookers!

As a matter of fact, forget the Commissars and the hookers!
