What a cringe little dork.

Also the Spaceking fans are turning out to be just as annoying as Rick and Morty fans.

No, I don't mean "people who like Rick and Morty" I mean the "fans" who would harass McDonald's employees over fucking nugget sauce.

Now this usually results in people bringing up the Little Sisters of Purification who are not a GW creation but were released in Challenge Magazine by Games Design Workshop in June 1988.

This was after WD 98 (Feb '88) that established shaky biology for Astartes gender limitations.

They later got released as part of the Adventurer set which was a grab bag of stuff I'm guessing Alan didn't have a home for at the time but could be used for sci-fi tabletop RPGs.

So sculpted as Astartes, but not sold as them.

So Gabs and Jane were part of a large group of minis sculpted for the first wave of Space Marines for Rogue Trader but there was never a brief for female Astartes and Alan chose to not release them as Astartes and put them in his "I don't have a plan for these" drawer.

One such tabletop range was the C01 Fighters line which was mainly men, but had some women in it, and was sold in random pick blister packs.

But stockists complained the blister packs with women didn't sell well. This influenced later model lines produced in the 80s, to include 40k.

So I regularly see some confusion about the OG female Space Marine models so let's do story time:
So before Warhammer was a thing Games Workshop started as a small miniature producer for tabletop RPGs that expanded into minature wargames as a way to get people to buy more minis.

Job occupations, from an 1881 census. Every one of these sounds like something a sorely provoked Captain Haddock would should at someone in times of heavy stress.

I might have gone a bit overboard with the chipping as she's so tiny. 😆
Oh well, I've learned for the rest of the little guys. Will carry on with the highlights and see how she turns out.

Played a really close fought game of 40K, representing part of the Armageddon War. My opponent has never used the mission deck before but agreed the Tactical Secondaries added a huge amount to the game. It was tactical and cutthroat, but my Steel Legion edged a win over his Orks, 76-53.

A Cityfight board ready for a game of 40K. Two main streets run the length of the board, with ruined buildings everywhere. There are Orks in the bottom right of the picture, and a Steel Legion in the top left.

The huge armoured form of Gazgkhull Thrakka and three armoured Mega Nobz stomps through the street.

A Leman Russ Demolisher begins a flanking attack, as two Vulture gunships sweep in and launch the first of a series of devastating airstrikes.

A Chimera disembarks a squad of infantry onto the central objective.
