Striking Scorpions need more love. They're the most underrated aspect warrior

Powerswords for one thing on the tabletop.

for videogame purposes, there's already factions using chainswords like Space Marines and Ork choppas. No need for the sophisticated Eldar to be using barbaric chainsaws.

you won't get any more plastic aspect warriors because eldar players won't buy them. you know why? because you're all WAAC faggots and aspect warriors aren't where the cheese is in the eldar army, so you won't buy 'em, so gw won't make plastic ones.
Simple as that.

They've been my favorite aspect ever since I was a kid and they first came out. I used to draw the aspect rune on my middle school books.

Back then it was 2e, and they were pretty lackluster on the tabletop: pretty much an assault marine without a jumppack, and everybody back then used to whine about how crappy assault marines were. They'd invariably lose in melee to any other dedicated melee troops, so nobody liked them, but they'd shred any non-melee specialists, and had far more durability against shooting than the other melee specialists. Still, trading the marines' jumppacks for the mandiblasters was a pretty rough deal.

The mandiblaster back then was a free hit at str 3 ''before'' resolving the melee. This made them gods at killing cultists, guardsmen, gaunts, and the like, but it would bounce right off anything burlier.

Most aspect warriors are pretty underrated, it's just wraith this and wraith that, with jetbikes and psykers

From where is that mini from?

From some Russian third party manufacturer.

Tacticool space ninjas done right, what's not to love. People prefer banshees because tits, i get this but its kinda sad.

Not all Banshees are women though

I don't think anybody has any misaprehensions about Striking Scorpions being the coolest of all the Aspect Warrior types surely?

I mean, you could make an argument for Warp Spiders, they're pretty cool. But they aren't Ninja's with guns in their actual faces.

Fucking this. How the everloving christ have GW gone 30 years without giving us a plastic Scorpion box set?

I swear, the only people who give a fuck about Dire Avengers are the ones working in GW.

>Eldar
>Gender meaning anything
Remember if its an Eldar, you aren't gay

I think that all the minis and 99% of art are though.

There are rare exceptions and they mostly consist of Warlocks and Autarchs trying to understand that path of war.

That's bullshit. They don't buy them because they're ancient finecast shit. It's the same vicious circle keeping Sisters down.

Games Workshop deserves no more love and/or money for anything they do.

In Valedor there is a male banshee Exarch, granted it even makes a note to say it's a rare thing.

Would his armour still have breasts though Veeky Forums?

>barely not as good a statline as a Space Marine

They're almost identical. They just swap two points of S/T for two points of I/Ld. If you factor +1S chainswords, Exarchs and the auto take formation for +1WS/BS, they're straight up better.

>Would his armour still have breasts though Veeky Forums?

Of course! Aspects are the ultimate larpers. Their whole shtick is becoming another person in order to confront the tumult of war. A Banshee wearing his war-mask would be fully immersed in his role as a mythical daughter of Morai-Hegg and would consider his tit armour an extension of himself.

>I think that all the minis and 99% of art are though.

The Banshee is a female aspect, so when men join their Temple, they'll adopt female personas and presumably wear the same armour.
