It's true. When Destro wins its because they have enough bikini ninjas that look cool. Order only wins when they bring latest fashion group utility to the play. Following fashion saves lives and locks down zones.

Undoubtedly. On one side you have chaos warped jocks, hot goth chicks, and crazy soccer hooligans. And on the other one, you have the standard fantasy offer. With the humans maybe standing out a bit, having some interesting baroque visual elements in their aesthetics.


And it's not just the coolness of the appearances of Destruction races. Its also about the brutal physical superiority that they have in their visuals, which has a tremendous psychological effect on the battlefield. It's when you have the Destro front melee line, this 2,5 m wall of steel and ripped muscle charging towards you, while your tank line are 60kg girls with sticks, and the British national midget bodybuilding team. And even though you rationally know that your stats are the same, you basic subconscious instincts are forcing you to pull back.

^ This!! While I think my SW looks about right in her current gear. Like a ranger of some sort. I know my SM ,even if she is my best char, looks like a ballerina standing before the destruction melee train. If her dress splayed open when she spun it would be perfect. Nothing intimidating about her.

I like empire. I think KotBS looks cool, because it look like a knight in armor. i like the lower lvl armors because they look like men at arms. As you go up in rank your armor gets more expensive looking until its all fantasy gawdy. WP looks sick too. WH looks very swashbuckleresque

Dwarf looks ok. Im not to into them though. to gawdy.

Literally the main reason I can't bring myself to play my DPS AM for any longer than 30 minutes is the grandmother robes.

If my SM could look like that, I'd delete every other char.
