Love it - especially with the realism. I like eye candy as much as the next bisexual woman, but I'm too much of a realist to be able to look at the metal-bikini babes without either snickering or, y'know, getting that stony expression like an English teacher who just heard someone say "Just between you and I."
Armor, boys; it's for covering your vitals with. You know, like the throat, the spine, all sortsa things in yer rib cage, the guts, the femoral arteries; all like that-there?
A girl I knew back in college volunteered to model a friend's chain-mail bikini as a walking advertisement, and she said it pulled out every hair on her body within the covered zone.
So, me? If I wanna look at a woman in armor, cool; if I wanna look at her in (or out of) a bikini, cool. But they just don't mix well.

Realistic or fantasy, I like both 
Don't think about hair removal when you see Red Sonia's chainmail Bikini. Just think about... no, don't think at all, enjoyΒ !

Naw, I've got nothing against eroticism; I just hate seeing several generations of gamers and fantasy fans raised to assume that "real" fighting women all dress like idiots.
It's certainly not all one-sided; our classic Conan look with the leather loincloth is equally absurd, and if you've read Robert E. Howard's original stories, the guy wore good chainmail every time he got the chance. But with the occasional exception of anime guys, if you look at a random hundred DevArt pics of male knights and a random hundred female ones, you'll see a serious disproportion of skin AND of respect.
You want to show me a sexy female knight? Well, you could say it with just her face and pose, or you could have her shedding her armor after battle, or stripping for the bath. Or, sure, you can turn her into near-nude T&A, but after a while that gets perty annoying.
Fantasy's a fine thing, including sexual fantasy. It's only the overload that can make it bad--that can tell women like the ones I know in the military, the police, and the fighting arts, "We don't care about your strength and skill; we just wanna see skin. REAL female fighters are pure eye candy, so if you're gonna keep your uniform on and not shove your tits in our face, *you* shouldn't bother to exist."
