That's exactly what I'm saying. I don't care if they're altered or if they're just wearing 1.5 cars. I just don't like the design.

I think your still missing the point.

Its critisism of the art style, not the biological accuracy or realism of the models. Stuff like the huge shoulderpads and subpar/lack-of helmets emphasises brute strength over intelligence and makes the characters look really stuped.

The problem is (IMO) It looks bad, not that its unrealistic.

well that IS a major theme in W40K.

[alexandertnt]

Yes it is. Thats one of the reasons Im not a fan of W40K.

and that's ok, we'll still love you.

Precisely. It's not that we don't "get" Warhammer, we just don't like it.

Now, back to topic?

[Urist McScoopbeard]

Sure, I wish there was a game where you had 24 hours to destroy the universe with cats, you start with 1 cat, and you can do anything with it, ANYTHING. You get more points for being creative and making the universe's demise very complicated.

I ignore Warhammer ( i cannot into the fandom- the only thing I understand is the bigger the pauldrons, the better the unit. Also, HERESY ) and can't get into Battletech (weapons ain't enough customization for me, man).

[Parsely]

I love Battletech to death. Not crazy about WH40K (I dunno about actual Warhammer) but I like the books and I always end up buying an omnibus or two with the gift cards I tend to receive on Christmas.

[Korbac]

Oh wow. Those marines are stocky but actually biologically plausible, particularly 40,000 years into the future.

When humans are 7'6. XD

When humans are 7'6. XD

They're not human.

EDIT: Well.. Technically.

All of the genetic tampering, manipulations, augmentations, enhancements, etc. Regular hoomans are still 5"9 in WH40K.

[itisnotlogical]

I love Warhammer 40k strictly for the lore and vidya. I've watched "battle reports" (basically let's-play of tabletop WH40k) and it looks like it'd bore me to tears.

Were it that he were still alive, Robert Wadlow would like to have a word with you. No this wasn't just an excuse to post Robert Wadlow stop accusing me of things.

[WillowLuman]

Notably, that man was quite the opposite of stocky.

A for your tastes of looks, well, they do look comically with their small heads inside a huge frame, however taken out of the suits they look semi-normal and proportionated. Specially the case of normal humans (see Jim Rainor inside and outside his suit). For you to have "normal" head proportions on those suits you'll need an even more comically huge hydrocephalic head that would look stupid outside the suit.
