zorn sabretooth:

Kera foehunter:
What out zorn!!! it feeding time over there!
Sojourn:
I like elves. was that the question? man, I’m behind on so many posts…
@ cornixt, it’s true. I think although we’re enlightened, there are still many invisible restrictions placed on us. I’d also perhaps propose that overall, less people per capita are in their respective armies. I thought I heard yesterday Canada has more RCMP officers than we have in the armed forces. yikes.
Hashut’s Blessing:
The lack of female models is due to a lot of basis on real-world armies (which also mostly lacked women) and because it is a fantasy setting, trying to sell models. Little boys think men fight better than women (generally) and there aren’t many girls/ladies (in comparison to the guys) that play the game either…
Greenskins and lizardmen are asexual races and daemonettes do have a gender 
Their sex is androgynous (they have both parts) and they’re gender (whether they are masculine or feminine) is dependent upon what the beholder most desires…
There are several female models, but the only armies that include any decent numbers are wood elves and dark elves. Having a quick think, none of the others do.
As for dwarf women, they don’t fight (any more than other armies that aren’t pansies) and before anyone says “How can you tell? They have beards!”, they do not have beards and the proof is in the pudding, by which I mean Queen Helga…
slev:
There are also several other background mentions of Dwarf female not having beards, but otherwise being indistinguishable from their men in the eyes of the other races.
Gaixo:
The way that dwarfs treat their beards as status symbols would seem to indicate a certain sexism, wouldn’t it? Not saying that to be critical, it actually fits in well with other aspects of their society.
Greenskins aren’t explicitly asexual in WFB, are they? As far as I know the 40k fungus/spore replication thing has never been officially carried over into Fantasy. I’m hardly an expert on Warhammer lore, though, so maybe I just missed it.
Hashut’s Blessing:
It’s changed now, Gaixo. There are no longer considered to be female orcs.
As for the sxism comment, with dwarfs it’s the length of their grindle. In English: plaits.
slev:
AFAIAA, no mention has been mentioned on Orc reproduction in some time. The last thing that was said, had Orc females.
Filipicusius:
Elves??? What the…?
This thread has now been marked Heretical by the inquisition!
Kera foehunter:
the proff in the pudding !!! so there female dwarf beard in the pudding now oooooooh gross
Cryonicleech:
Wow, this thread grew while I was dormant, he he he.
There has been no discussion on orc reproduction, but I thought they were fungus, as stated earlier…
I’m not entirely sure about this dwarf women and beards scandal, but all i can say is I hope they don’t have any…
And yes, Filipicusius, Elves. The second oldest race in the world.
slev:
Second?
Dragons & Lizard Men are older native races.
Slaán are an older race still, even if not native.
Further, should he still be alive (and reports on this are conflicting), the Great Enchanter witnessed the arrival of the Old Slaán/Old Ones, although there seems to be only the one of him.
Kera foehunter:
naa there is no well know co. out there with bearded dwarf female figure
that would be so sexes lol
but a bearded elf would be funny
Mosk:
I think it is very cool to have both male and female in some armies. the elves seem like they would be mroe “enlightened” and therefor have less of a gender sepration, as compared to the warriors of chaos, where I think it would look wierd to have an extremely muscular woman holding a flail above her head. I also think it would be AWESOME, let me clarify this one more time, AMAZINGLY AWESOME, if GW made a Amazon army, and used male slaves, come on guys, think for a sec, and army of tall skinny women wearing close to nothing…

She's a one-off, though. Their goodguy dwarves have some (fairly cool) female warriors with no facial hair.
(I know, I reference French miniatures too often)
wallacer:
I seem to recall there being female Greenskin cheerleaders for Bloodbowl and i’m sure I remember seeing Greenskin villagers miniatures back in 3rd edition days.
Orcs are a kind of fungus in 40k I believe (or something along those lines) but is that the case as well in fantasy now too?
