Silver hair, black and red armour; like to burn things. :D Edit- This is intended as a joke. Obviously Sisters of Battle armor is far too sexualized for anything remotely resembling it to ever be put in ASOIAF. Dany is far more likely to wear an adaptation of Rhaegars armor indistinguishable from it in all regards except her being shorter. This is purely as an offhand remark on how similar an aesthetic Sisters of Battle from Warhammer 40,000 have to Targaryens; which is most likely coincidental.

Tyrion1991 Posted October 22, 2013 Author Share Posted October 22, 2013 thats hideous Its more a joke aimed at 40k fans. Sisters of Battle do look oddly similar to Dany with the hair and the love of setting things on fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Red Pope Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Joke aside, if she takes up dragonriding some kind of armor will be in order. Probably a flamboyant one, that seems to be the middle name of every eastern armorer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude that battle sister armor is basically latex, I am sure Dany could easily walk in that wafer thin suit if she wanted to. How effective it would be is another matter entirely. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrion1991 Posted October 22, 2013 Author Share Posted October 22, 2013 You think that armor is sexualized? Seriously? Or is my sarcasm detector broken? Of course it is. Thats a very odd thing to say. Is my sarcasm detector broken? :D More mild than that Kingdom Under Fire thing the other poster linked to I'll give you; but it still is. Tight form fitting armor so you can see how fit they are and you can't quite tell on the pic but they are wearing squat heels on their boots as well. The middle of the armor also resembles a corset. Its pretty clear what look they're going for. I don't have a problem with that. Realism shouldn't apply to space nuns with flamethrowers; especially not in 40k where everything is OTT (have you seen Dark Eldar?). But it is what it is.

The Great and Mighty Poo Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Yeah, they apparently trade marked the term...Marc is not a"space" marine. Master chief is just a marine. The guys from alien are colonial marines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madness... http://io9.com/5982201/games-workshop-is-still-claiming-to-own-the-trademark-to-space-marine-time-to-get-pissed-off Really, they're so gonna sue Martin for copying the Sister of Battle look for Targaryens. "They have the same hair! Sue them!" :D BTW, I know I said this as a joke, but Dany would look pretty sexy and badass all the same in Sisters of Battle armor. I just think Martin avoids that sort of aesthetic on principle. Other fantasy books like Wheel of Time don't, like when Elayne gets form fitting armor for her female lancers for instance.
