Pics of female fighters/knights in realistic armor?

Burberry Prorsum Dress actually made of Armor

That is hot. I mean, she's going to get pretty hot wearing that. Hottier.


And here is something ridiculous from the real world that men in armor used to wear. Not in battle, one hopes:

That's no codpiece, that's an Engorget!

I have heard a lot of guys say this and while I understand it I wonder if they realize that hey woman have infiltrated the game.

And maybe we would be more comfortable at the table if we don't have to have cheesecake as representative of our PCs or the major NPCs.

I'd XP you, but apparently I've too much to you already. So, in that one way at least, you are just like Colonel Playdoh.

Infiltrate nuthin'! It's an invasion! Two of the four games that I participate in have more female players than male - including the teens game. We're outnumbered men! Fall back!

No they're not. I haven't got a D&D rulebook handy this moment, but I invite anyone who believes this to open one up and start counting. In a typical book, you'll find a couple of barbarian men in loincloths--and a couple of women who aren't baring cleavage, midriff, or legs up to the thigh. Numbers-wise, there's no comparison.

Furthermore, as Elf Witch pointed out, there's a huge difference between the "barbarian in loincloth" look and the "pornified armor" look. There are people in the real world who wear loincloths as practical everyday garb. Chainmail bikinis are only practical everyday garb if you make a living as a stripper at a medieval-themed bar.

I fail to see why we need cheesecake. I don't think any male in the digital age can claim to be porn-deprived. How about we let porn be porn, and D&D books be about D&D characters?

Also, both the muscle bound oaf and the chainmail bikini are male fantasies. Like comic books, the aim of RPGs seem stuck at the 14-17 year old male demographic....

As for the stripper at a medieaval themed bar... I can see someone's teeth getting knocked out when she tosses the top into the audience....

I can see the guilty guy coming home, "Sorry honey, I got in a bar fight and got my tooth knocked out..."

and, there are definitely more women in gaming than there were 20-30 years ago. However, it is still a male dominated hobby, hence the appeal to the teenage boy demographic.

Should have a thicker abdomen, but other than that it's excellent armor.

Edit: I wonder where she keeps her helmet. =)

Hmm... do they have force fields in WH40k? If so then she gotta be using an invisible force field.

They do, but in my experience the opposition usually has some type of weapon active on the battlefield that will bypass it. Marine power armor is more reliable with its fixed 3+ saving throw (so it basically shrugs away 66% of all incoming fire like it's nothing). And stacking better gear on one single unit tends to attract assassin units. I think all of the forcefields are highly visible too.

But then again, I've never seen anyone make the claim that because the model isn't wearing a helmet it could be headshotted like it wasn't wearing one.

A second recommendation here for the Artesia comics. Warning: the comics are currently stalled...

Proof that the chainmail bikini works best.
