Sersi's Slaaneshi Themed Daemon Army

Sersi — GMT

[b]Okay, here we go...[/b]

Alright six months ago I started researching, sketching, sculpting and acquiring models for a Slaaneshi daemon army. Got off to a good start and then got side tracked by the siren song of a all true-scale Black Templar army, more on that later... Anyway, here we go again. Now the goal here is to create a playable tournament army, that both unique and characterful. So, will be no stock GW models, everything will be getting some sort of conversion. These conversion with be heavily influenced by "Slaves to Darkness" and Liber Chaotica". While, I'm not going for perversion, there will be some naughty bits, we are talking Slaanesh after all. Hopefully you all can help me stay motivated. All comments and critiques are most welcome.

Since in Codex Daemons pretty much forces you to use a mixed gods list. I'm using "count as" to keep things Slaaneshi.

[b]Here's what I have planned so far: [/b]

[b][u]HQ:[/u][/b]

1 Keeper of Secrets (Forgeworld)
2 Heralds (sculpted mini Keepers = counts as Heralds in chariots)

[b][u]Elites:[/u][/b]

12 Pleasureseekers (converted plastic daemonettes mounted on winged steeds of Slaanesh) = counts as Fiends
12 Wyrms (winged snakes w/ steeds of Slaanesh style heads) = counts as Flamers
12 Gluttons (converted ogre bulls = counts as Blood Crushers)

[b][u]Troops:[/u][/b]

40 Daemonettes (6th edition - metal daemonettes)
60 Daemonettes (plastic daemonettes w/ reposing and weapon swaps)
12 Slayers (plastic daemonettes converted to running poses w/ custom bliss giver swords) = counts as Bloodletters
24 Tormentors (converted grave ghouls is B/SM gear) = Plaguebearers
24 Gorgons (plastic daemonettes tentacle hair, and blazing eyes) = Horrors
1 Changeling (a plastic daemonette in a commissar cap, jacket, and bolt pistol)
12 Imp bases (custom sculpted, evil munchkins)

[b][u]Fast:[/u][/b]

10 Seekers (mounted daemonettes - metal)
26 Seekers (converted plastic daemonettes on sculpted mounts)
12 Furies (converted plastic daemonettes w/ feathered wings)

[b][u]Heavy:[/u][/b]

3 Daemon Princess (custom sculpts)
3 Slaaneshi Soul Grinders (custom sculpts)

Anyway photos to follow...

The Liber Chaotica inspired theme really has me excited to see how well you pull it off. Get some pics up quick!

Re:Sersi's Slaaneshi Themed Daemon Army

Sersi — GMT

So, lets start out with my Daemon Princess Sculpt, this is pretty rough as it still needs sanding and buffing. I've designed her to be modular so that I can make all 3 Princess models from same basic body once she's cast in resin. After which I cut up, modify the poses, detail them. Their are four different arms, three separate heads, and two different sets of wings; so lots of variation.

[b]Here some early shots:[/b]

I plan on having three of these bad girls...boys...its? The goal is to have field up to 5 monstrous creatures in case I want to run a Demonzilla list. That and is just cool to see so many big guys on table top.

Scale Comparison with the FW Keeper:

Okay more current pics of the princess in turn-around:

Yeah she's looking a little stiff at the moment but that will be rectified once I get her cast up.

Extremly impressive work. Just to be sure Are you ditching the whole androgynus slaaneshi concept?

Sersi's Slaaneshi Themed Daemon Army

xedric — GMT

Impressive army list. Almost everything on that list will be converted and/or built from scratch? I admire people with ambition! And Slaanesh will be pleased. You are doing a great job so far. Keep it up!

Re:Sersi's Slaaneshi Themed Daemon Army

Sersi — GMT

Here's a couple more scales shots of the the DP and some other units.

Scaled with the FW Keeper:

Now this one will be the base model for all three, but don't worry once I cast her, I'll be converting the others. I'll post some sketches later, as I'd like input on them.

[u]I need Input on:[/u]

- armor
- tails (yes/no)
- horns
- naughty bits? :lol:

[b]Paul Atreides:[/b] Oh, I wouldn't say that I'm dropping the androgyny, I'll leave it to the imagination whats behing those loincloths; but yes my daemons will have their breasts in pairs, be they 2, 4, or six.

[b]Xedric:[/b] Everything will be converted or sculpted from scratch.

[b]Tizz: [/b] There will be a lot of direct translation of Liber Chotica concepts into this list. Lets fbe honest Chaos has not be chaotic enough for a long time. John Blanche's inspired artwork from "Slave to Darkness" will be looming large here as well.

Here are some older WIP shots of my custom seekers. The details on the mount have been greatly improved since these were taken. But I thought I'd throw them up to give an idea of where this is going.

[b]Seekers:[/b]

I'm really happy with how this turned out. As you can see here I'm trying to copy the poses of the old mounted 'nettes. The only problem is that the riders are going to be with very labor intensive, lots of cutting and repositioning, also there are only 5 of the models in a box of 'nettes that are really suitable for this. I need at least 14 of these so I'll have to come up with a couple of alternative poses as well.

BOSS_PIMPALOTZ — GMT

Very very good I am interested to see how this project pans out

Re:Sersi's Slaaneshi Themed Daemon Army

Sersi — GMT

[b]Pleasureseekers:[/b]

Since I've already repositioned a few plastic 'nettes to serve a seekers, I thought I'd see how they look mounted on a Steed of Slaanesh. These will be counting as fiends in the army. I've been told that these are best taken in larger numbers so I want at least 12. The riders will be armed with the Slaaneshi Champions spear/lance thingy. The mounts will be fitted with modeling chain bridles and reigns. No saddles though as these girls ride'em bare back. The shields from the Champions will be going to my "Slayers" which will be up-scaled plastic daemonettes counting as bloodletters. I figure I have to represent their T4 somehow.

Say anybody need 12 odd Slaanesh Champions, sans weapons and mounts?

The mini-keeper is quite nice already, you've done a wonderful job on her. I think the legs are my favorite bit - anatomically solid but also demonically thin and extra jointed. Same goes for the legs on the seeker mount. Oh, and I support boobs in pairs

There's loads of potential in this project, you can be sure I'll be watching

Lookin good so far, that is an excellent couple of sculpts goin on there, especially the steeds, looks exactly like the originals.
Tbf the previous slaaneshi stuff was better (yes, I know they were all scantily clad) but the new plastics are ugly-looking (which for the chaos god of pleasure and lust I can see being a disadvantage), it's just a shame they retired the old steeds (the lizard/snake things were wicked), plus the six-breasted thing was kinda cool. Imagine making love to a woman with six breasts?

[b]Okay progress![/b]

I finished the wings last night, so here ya go.

Re:Sersi's Slaaneshi Themed Daemon Army

Sersi — GMT

Okay here are a few of my Gluttons IE. count as plague bearers:

I actually have 12 of these converted now, but I flubbed the pics of the others. biggrin.gif

Anyway what I did here was take a basic Ogre model and cut off the legs at the crotch, and sculpted new bare legs, while adding some additional height to make them more imposing compared to all those true-scaled marines running around these days. I also filled in and sculpted a bare belly, as well and carving in a butt crack. laugh.gif

So sculpted these two basic models so I could make casts of the bodies. As you can see the arms looked stumpy, so I late cut through the biceps and extended them with some copper wire and good old Aves Sculpt. The head are simply modded and not casts. Basically I shaved off the stone earrings, and ugly hair, beards, etc; and sculpted on some spiky bits and horns. The cast were later cut up and pined in more dynamic poses. Here are the casts:

Sersi's Slaaneshi Themed Daemon Army

Wehrkind — GMT

I like the idea for the gluttons a good bit, though I would point out the bases are too large for count as plague bearers. I doubt many people would complain because they are so good looking, but technically they need to be on a 25mm base to be legal.

All in all, that is a great use of the ogres

Re:Sersi's Slaaneshi Themed Daemon Army

Sersi — GMT

[b]Boss_Pimpalotz:[/b] Thank you.

[b]Boss_Salvage:[/b] Thank you. I spent quite a long time getting thoughs legs right, and I'm still only semi-happy with them.

[b]Beamo:[/b] The base model for the seeker took maybe 2-3 hours. I won't be sculpting each one individually though. I'll be employing the dark arts to cast off 14 or so.

[b]Smiling Assasin:[/b] Thanks for your intrest. I'll be posting up some concept drawings for the army soon.

[b]Malfred:[/b] Yes...chaos can be icky. I'm going for sexy but disturbing.

[b]Leigen_Zero:[/b] Yep love the Diaz nettes were sweet, but the new ones are very nice as well and cheap...they just need a few...uhm...cosmetic alterations.

[b]ChaoticFlanagan:[/b] Thanks buddy.

[b]Wehrkind:[/b] Hmmm...hadn't thought about the base issue. I have some 25mm and 30mm bases, I could use. Is it legal to have material, like say styrene sheet overhang the base a bit?

Sersi's Slaaneshi Themed Daemon Army

Panic — GMT

yeah,
It's legal to have material overhang the base.

You should stick to the original base sizes as closely as possible, being a all Deep Striking army having larger bases makes your units more likely to scatter onto something!

[b]Armor Concept Designs for the Daemon Princesses:[/b]

Okay, I spent some time trying to figure out what sort of armor would look best. While I don't want them to be completely covered up, I do want to plausibly represent the "Iron Hide" upgrade. These are heavily influenced by "Liber Chaotic" by the way.

Let me know what you all think!

Simple, elegant, seductive... all the tools of slannesh, and youve captured it, great great job, I see from your sketches that you have some art backround as I do, I dont know, why not try all of them?

Sersi's Slaaneshi Themed Daemon Army

tzeentchling — GMT

Wow, looking really good! I really really like the work you've put into the Seekers/Pleasureseekers. The comparison with the standard pose (legs stright out, straddling the mount) looks so horrid compared to the converted (and old) ones. The Mini-keepers/princesses are solidly worked.

What are the "procreate" feathers? Are they commercially available modeling bits? I'm looking for a bunch for my native-american themed marines and my GS skills aren't great at making them.

Not so sure about the Gluttons, it's a nice concept but the Ogres are too big, and still look too much like ogres, not daemons. Maybe some more mouths, like on their bellies? That would emphasize that they're only there to eat.

[b]Keeper of Secrets:[/b]

Here's my Forge World KOS and the inspiration behind this army; and oh how I love her....

She will be getting considerable attention and modifications. She's all pinned, gap filled, sanded and ready to go so...

[b]Anyway, I have planned the following conversions so far:[/b]

1. I'll be replacing all of the spikes on the leggings and glove with GS rivets/studs, just like the leggings of the Diaz damonettes and the steeds. I hate spiky bits! Chaos should be much more than that.

2. The breast plate will be aged gold and platnium, with the spikes on the breastplate replaced with miniture plastic gems.

3. Sculpting a branded Slaanesh symbol on the left inner thigh.

4. Sanding off the eyes on the accessory breasts and replacing them with actual nipples. I get the joke but the concept is just silly. These may or may not be pierced.

5. The resin chains including the necklace will all be replaced with modeling chain and metal foil. The Slaanesh symbol will probably be photo-etched. I got a small machine from micro mark, but haven't had time to play with it yet. I got it for my military and ship modeling, but will be following FW lead on this and future minature projects.

6. The up raise hand will be replace with a custom hand grasping a barbed whip.

7. Her sword blade had a large bubble flaw in her casting, so that will be replace with a heavier styrene and brass rod staff bearing Slaaneshes symbol from "Slave to Darkness".

8. Finally, a pierced tounge.

[b] Yet more Daemons! [/b]

This guy will serve as a second Keeper or "Count as Skarbrand". In either case he shall be based on this:

Comments and critiques as usual are greatly appreciated. Let me know what you think!

Re:Sersi's Slaaneshi Themed Daemon Army

Sersi — GMT

[b]gennadius: [/b]Thanks bro, this time I'll actually get this army done.

[b]gameandwatch:[/b] I probably will, I have 2-4 3" tall heralds to sculpt, and they'll need costumes as well. I'll do some more sketches.

[b]tzeentchling: [/b] Yeah pain in the that it will be I'm going to have sculpt some more scratch sitting poses, to at least mix in with the stradle legged poses. I suposse I could just sculpt the bodies cast them and outfit with daemonettes heads, arms and feet.

"Procreate" is a epoxy putty similar to GS. I can post up a tutorial on how I did the feathers its really easy. I would probably take you an hour to sculpt all the feathers you could ever need for your army.

On the gluttons I'll admit they are a little over the top as I "biggerized" them as well. But having said that the Plaguebearer art in the Daemon Codex is just as beefy. In fact the way they look in the dex almost made me go Nurgle.

As for them not being daemonic enough I had in mind the Genie from Disney's Aladin sans the paracute pants ofcourse. I plan to paint them pastel blue, with realistically bloody maws and hands. Hmmm...maybe some tentacles....

[quote=Sersi]4. Sanding off the eyes on the accessory breasts and replacing them with actual nipples. I get the joke but the concept is just silly. These may or may not be pierced.[/quote]
YES! This alone is an excellent move, though the de-spiking is a nice move and the pierced tongue seems just plain called for

Great armor sketches too, though I suppose the first one seems the most "3+ save" of them all. Nice arm / leg armor on #2 too.

Gluttons are quite cool! Pity about 40k anal basing in 5th edition, though I have to agree that a unit that is deepstriking all the time does depend a bit on the base size than others ... Still cool!

What fantastic work! I love the gluttons, they might possibly be the best slaanesh concept I've seen.

I love what you're doing with the others though, I think so many people miss the point of slaanesh which is a shame. It should be sexy but perverted, just like the excerpt in one of the HH books where half the crowd are trying to screw each other, the other half are slaughtering them.

Watching with great interest.

Re:Sersi's Slaaneshi Themed Daemon Army

I love the wings. Beautiful. A tutorial would be appreciated.

Armor sketches are all great. Do them all? Otherwise Im voting for the first.

That image you're basing your second keeper on is brilliant. Where is it from? Im completely convinced youll pull it off. So far the legs look fine Cant wait to see more!

And I must also chime in on the clever counts as plaguebearers. Very clever!

Sersi's Slaaneshi Themed Daemon Army

I really dig the first set of armor too, though all those sketches are worth saving (when I am not on my work pc...)

Excellent work so far! Man, this really makes me want to make a daemon army!

Re:Sersi's Slaaneshi Themed Daemon Army

Sersi — GMT

Okay, I've been making steady progress with the Damon Princess, the body, wings and alternate arms are all done. I'm still working on the head designs but have roughed out the basic head. I'll be casting it and moding the heads, hopefully I'll get the design sketches posted up tonight. I've also made progress on the FW Keeper conversion the leggings are done as are the new breasts and weapons. I'm still working on the new left hand and whip. Still progress has been made.

[b]Boss_Salvage:[/b] I will be posting updated armor designs tonight. I like #1 to much not to use it. So I just need to decide on the other two girls. Updated pic on the FW Keeper tonight as well.

[b]_Si_:[/b] Thanks the Glutton name and concept is mine but the Idea of Slaaneshi Ogre conversion has been done before. I just have taken the idea a bit further.

[b]Proiteus:[/b] Yeah, they are big but if you look at the Plaguebearers artwork in the codex on p.15, they're huge! Easily 2-3 heads taller than a Guardsmen. Which if you think about is they should be marine sized at least, big slow and lumbering, thery're not zombies afterall.

[b]Xedric:[/b] The tutorial will be coming soon, I've set up a blog to where I'll post that and some detailed casting tutorials as well.

Anyway will be posting updated tonight...

Re:Sersi's Slaaneshi Themed Daemon Army

Sersi — GMT

Okay, I have a Mod question, is discussion of casting allowed on the forum? I'd like to show the casting of my custom sculpted model, but I don't want to break any rules. If not I'll just link to my new blog. Thanks!

Sersi's Slaaneshi Themed Daemon Army

Mellon — GMT

Excellent work! I'l be following this with interest.

As for discussions on casting. It has been done before on dakka, and mods have okeyed the posting of casting tutorials. Casting is legal, copyright infringement is not, but since you undoubtedly add "considerale artistic input" to whatever you cast you should be fine. (your local laws might vary a bit...) So yes, I'm looking forward a lot to your tutorials, both on casting and on wingcrafting.

Re:Sersi's Slaaneshi Themed Daemon Army

Sersi — GMT

[b]Alright updates...at last...[/b]

Okay, here's a turn-a-round of the near final conversion on my FW Keeper of Secrets. And here's a couple of close ups. The eyes on the extra breasts were sanded off and they been resculpted in Aves Fixit, and topped off with Green stuff nipples. The nipples and studs were basically stamped out small blobs of GS putty using these.

What are they you ask, well they're "blunt tipped injection needles". You can used these for all kinds of detailing on minatures, rivets, eyes, embossed designs etc. I got this excellent tip from: [url]http://jamesvanschaik.blogspot.com/search?q=rivets[/url]. It is a great site with lots of tutorials and videos! Also here a super cheap online site where you can buy similar blunt tipped needles [url]http://www.zeph.com/applicator_tips.htm[/url] for about $0.50 each. Do what I did get the variety pack, you get two of each of the 15 different gauge sizes, for $19.95!

Comments and critques are welcome as always. Up next the final clean up and casting of the Daemon Princess...

[b]Daemon Princess Casting Walktrough:[/b]

I've gotten the Daemon Princess done up to the point of casting. So, I'm going to put up a walk through of the final stages ; and then I'll circle back to some sculpting tutorials and tips.

Here I'm doing some final cleanup on the model using some 3M fine sanding pads. This mini was sculpted Aves Sculpt and Procreate putty, both of which take sanding very well. Also the final polishing of the surface done with Acetone and a medium hard toothbrush, this gives an almost glassy smooth surface.

All this time consuming sanding is necessary because silicon casting rubber picks up everything: fingerprints, stray hairs, nicks, scratches.... Well you get the picture.

And here she is all smooth as silk...er...anyway. I have the model under a lamp to bake solid the Aves I used to fill in the holes that I used to pin the arms and wings to it. If silicon was to fill those deep holes the model would be locked into the mold. Seriously, having done the above before fill in any holes or voids, prior to molding.

Next up: Making Mold Sprues!

Re:Sersi's Slaaneshi Themed Daemon Army

Sersi — GMT

[b]Okay, sprues...[/b]

If you’re going to cast you have to provide proper ventilation. When you pour resin into your mold the air inside is forced out; well most of it. Usually, air that gets trapped inside the mold where it can cause voids and miss-cast parts. So, we have to add vents to the model. These can either be setup before the rubber is poured or cut in afterward. I usually cut vent holes in afterward (a tutorial for another time). For this model I'm pre-planning the sprues using styrene rods brass rods, styrene sheet, and a hot glue-gun.

A couple of quick points, the white tab at the bottom in two pieces of 2.0 mm styrene sheet glued together. It’s important because it serves as both a large fill hole and vent. It along with the brass rods create a void space for any trapped air bubbles to go. I use styrene rod of various diameters, to create vents. Simply cut them to size, and use a light to heat them so you can bend to make complex shapes. You can use aluminum wire but honestly, styrene is both cheaper and easier to handle especially at this size. You can also use hardened hot glue to create connecting vents between smaller parts. I'll use hot glue when we get to the setting up the sprues for the wings; where there are lots of places to trap air particularly in the longer feathers.

Next up: Mold Boxes

[b]Seekers:[/b]

We'll get to mold box, but first I want to post the final sculpt for my Seeker mounts. This is as far as I itend to take it before I cast it.

Here's the test model for my Furies. Yeah they suck, but they fit with the theme. I'll probably just use them in higher point games or in Apocalypse. I freely admit that I stole the idea of using hero-clix Hawkman wings from a member of the very board! But then art is 99% "borrowing" other peoples good ideas... Not to worry though I have three different wing variants and will repose all 12 models.

Here's also a shot of some daemonettes, all 80 will recieves some kind of conversion....madness I know.

I was flipping through my WHF Role-playing game books today and saw this. I'm thinking Slaaneshi Soulgrinder?

What say you all?

I also need some color scheme ideas. All I've got so far are I want the Gluttons to be pastel blue, like the Genie from Aladdin. Covered in splatted blood ofcourse. So, hit me up with your idea, all thoughts are welcome.

Sersi's Slaaneshi Themed Daemon Army

Karoline Dianne — GMT

absolutely beautiful. I only wish my slaanesh army could be this alluring. ^^

Re:Sersi's Slaaneshi Themed Daemon Army

Sersi — GMT

[b]Basing: [/b]

At the moment I have several conflicting ideas:

[u]Seven Deadly Sins[/u]:

one is themed bases representing the 7 rings of Slaanesh realm that represent the Seven Deadly sins. The army already represents the this in its units: ie. Gluttons for Gluttony, Slayers for Anger, Daemonettes for Lust, the Keeper for Pride, etc. Greed could be represented by a blinged up Soul grinder and the other two should be to hard to get in there either.

[u]Fall of the Eldar[/u]:

The other idea was to use Eldar ruins or the Webway to theme the bases. This one appeals to me because honestly their just isn't Eldar representation in my area, and I just love the background. I wouldn't have dead Eldar strewn everywhere though as I thing dead units on bases is tacky.

[u]Warpgate:[/u]

This is based on a statue sculpted by Frederick Hart call "EX-Nilo" (From Nothing). The base would be swirling gates with writhing daemonic body and part rising up from the base. The Keeper might have an arched portal behind that its stepping through.
[u]
Imperial Cathedral:[/u]

Basically, the bases would represent a daemonic incursion of a Ministronium Basilica. I could use chopped bits of the Basilica model.

I my head they all look great, so I'm asking for opinions.

* Here's a pic of Ex-Nilo for reference.

if you are going to choose the fall of the eldar you should make their gems look like they where cracked open i thought the chaos lord did that in the dark crusade campaign to gain slaneesh favor or something
(sorry for my bad english)

Sersi's Slaaneshi Themed Daemon Army

Mellon — GMT

I'll vote against the Imperial Cathedral, mostly because it seems the least imaginative of the alternatives. I think the Eldar ruins could be stunningly beautiful and complement the models.

The seven sins could be very colourful and leave a lot of room for extravagant creativity, but with a risk of loosing the unified look of an army. Balancing those two is of course a challenge worthy of your skills.

Re:Sersi's Slaaneshi Themed Daemon Army

unite all action — GMT

There is seriously too much talent on display with this post casting miniatures is definitely something I want to do
and this inspires me even more so

Sersi's Slaaneshi Themed Daemon Army

Mohaniker — GMT

I second Mellon, the Imperial cathedral ruins would be too easy for your talent! Plus its such a generic theme, these models deserve something a little more unique.

I'm split between the Fallen Eldar and Seven Deadly Sins themes, you could combine them as I assume that the nature of the Eldars fall did mimic the seven sins. I really admire the Eldar theme due to the basis in the background, and that this is the first I've seen of it being put into use in a modeling sense.

I really like your work, the FW KOS conversion is very nice as are the others. My only foible is with the size of the breasts, a little too big IMO, but its purely personal taste!

I can't wait to see these models painted, Keep up the inspiring work!

Thanks for putting all of the step-by-step material in about modeling these miniatures, I'm not sure I can use it myself but it certainly is interesting to see how you do it. The models look great. I like how you're going for that twisted-but-intriguing look that I feel best represents Slaanesh demons. I'm really looking forward to this whole forces being built.

Really enjoying the molding run through so far, it's not something I'll probably ever do but it's way cool to see the process. Also, your hawkman harpies/furies are quite excellent, even if not sculpted from scratch I'm always impressed by how nice plastic demonettes look with a proper pair of breasts added back on ...

The Ex-Nilo bases run the risk of being a bit OTT and distracting from the models themselves. Fall of the Eldar bases sound great though.

I'd love to discuss the moulding process with you, you appear to use a hell of a lot more stuff then I do!

I'm also intreaged by the one part mould, I've always made mine in two sections!

I vote Eldar fall, simple, elegant and direct, the way this army is and should continue. I feel like all the rest would definetely detract from the models themselves which would be a crime, a CRIME I TELLS YA! Anyways, excellent, excellent work.

I'm no mold expert but I have done some. Always interested to learn more though. I have a couple of questions.

So I'm guessing you are going to slice the molds open with a razor to remove your masters? I'm not skilled enough to do this and keep a pristine parting line. How do you plan to keep the halves aligned when it comes time to cast?

Some of your risers from the "deep" part of the mold also intersect the mold higher up (some of your wings for example). Doesn't this allow casting material into your riser on the top side and potentially block bubbles from the deep end where you want them removed?

[b]Gennadius: [/b] That sir is a brilliant idea! Shattered and fused soul stone strew about, daemonettes holding aloft freshly plucked gems. Hmmm... I don;t like dead bodies on bases by perhaps some crack or long abandoned eldar armor?

[b]Mellon:[/b] Those are good points, especially about keeping a unified theme for the army. I'm strongly leaning toward the Eldar Fall idea...crumbling eldar ruins. I was thinking about making at least one daemon princess based of a fallen Eldar Seer anyway. Time to get writing some fluff.

[b]Unite All Action:[/b] I'm glad you find this thread inspiring; I know so many hear and elsewehe and here have and continue to inspire and humble me. We'll be getting pretty deep into the casting thing, it really can be simple and relatively cheap to do!

[b]The Lost Hobbit:[/b] Yeah I suppose your right the Ex-nilo style bases would be to busy. I might still do it as a terrain piece though.

[b]Druidic: [/b] I you have questions just ask I'll be happy to explain my process. You don't need all that gear but honestly is saves loads of time and effort. The single pour mold with the jewelers cut is far superior to the two part mold in my humble opinion. It simple to do, takes half the time and the parts come out with virtually no flash! not to worry I'll be demo how to do it soon.

[b]Gamesandwatch:[/b] It seems "Eldar Fall" is the winner. I'll have to study my Eldar Codei as reference.

[b]Asmith: [/b] [quote]So I'm guessing you are going to slice the molds open with a razor to remove your masters? I'm not skilled enough to do this and keep a pristine parting line. How do you plan to keep the halves aligned when it comes time to cast? [/quote]

I use a "worm key" and the jeweler cut technique on my molds. It provide lots of registration to align the mold halves together, the cuts are not uniform but a wave pattern. To keep the halves aligned just sandwich them between to pieces of foam core or styrene and rubberband them together.

[quote]Some of your risers from the "deep" part of the mold also intersect the mold higher up (some of your wings for example). Doesn't this allow casting material into your riser on the top side and potentially block bubbles from the deep end where you want them removed? [/quote]

That is a good question. If I was just pouring resin I would only allow the riser to have a single point of contact. When, I've pressue cast the molds like this in the past I haven't had a problem, it probably helps that I inject the resin as well. But you've talked me into changing my venting scheme, these are going to be large models and I dare not waste resin it I can help it. Thanks for the input.

[b]Ozymandias:[/b] Thanks.

Okay guys I'll be uploading some new design sketches for nearly all the units as well and some pose ideas. I also hope to get lots of casting done this weekend and to start a proper sculpting tutorial on my new Male KOS. More soon...

Here's a neat idea to held with the cutting. Push extra long stick pins thru the mold box until the graze the models surface. Make sure you take each pin with a dab of hot glue to that 1. they don't move, and 2. so silicon rubber doesn't leak out the mold box.

[b]Nenya97:[/b]

Hmmm...Furies are pretty worthless anyway, I was only adding them for modeling and fluff sake. If they'fe in the list just for the models then they ought to be hot winged daemon chicks, I say.

[b]JD21290:[/b]

I'll have to look into selling a few casts, I only need three, but it'd be a shame to just let the molds sit idle. Honestly, I never thought anyone would be interested in buying one. I have to get the heads and alternate arms done first anyway. But if anyone is interested PM me and let me know.

Sersi's Slaaneshi Themed Daemon Army

Ehehehe, as with everything else then :-)

At the moment my casting skills is ot the spot where I'm learning to do greenstuff moulds of small decorations. So this far I'm doing allright with what I can pick up from guides. But I'll keep you in mind when (rather than if) I start casting stuff properly and run into trouble.

Re:Sersi's Slaaneshi Themed Daemon Army

Sersi — GMT

Mellon:

Small one part molds huh? I can run through some info on that. I started out with a hand kneaded silicon rubber that you can get and Michaels and Hobby Lobby on the cheap. You can get very good results from it but you really need to cut the mold for the best results.

Re:Sersi's Slaaneshi Themed Daemon Army

Sersi — GMT

Okay I've got several small piles of wings, and 3 freshly minted daemon princesses. I also have my steeds and seeker mounts ready. So their will be many posts this weekend.

[u]Anyway here are some design sketches:[/u]

For one of the Princesses:

I'm no going for them to be Chaos based. I want them to be more Eldar-ish. One might even be a corrupted Eldar Farseer, or Dark Eldar Lord for instance.

[img]http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/4/30/30706_md-.jpg[/img]

Here is the head that I finally decided on, it similar to the FW Keeper but different enough to be unique, I think. Any I want all of them to have unique heads. Maybe something in a long and cone shaped head???

[img]http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/4/30/30708_md-.jpg[/img]

Here is a possible armor idea. With, Slaanesh is all about the tounges afterall.

[img]http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/4/30/30707_md-.jpg[/img]

Here is a possible soul grinder upper torso.

[img]http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/4/30/30709_md-.jpg[/img]

The idea I had here is that sharks seem Slaaneshi; long, sleek, fast, and vicious. So the clamps that would hold the daemons torso to the mechanical body would be biting shark heads biting down into the legs and crotch... To sick? To tame? Let me know.

Now about those Soul Grinders mechanical parts, I've been holding off buying them because they're kinda ugly and generic looking. Since this army is now more Eldar-ish than Imperal I'm thinking about just scratch building one base on the Eldar design, i.e. long and slender legs, and smooth flowing curves. So, if their are any Eldar players following this thread I'd love some input please.

Further:

Any thoughts on having daemonettes leading around chained gluttons on chains with Hannibal Lector style muzzles?

More Later!

I think the shark idea is wonderful. It does fit perfectly. Too often I see Slaanesh players focusing on teh sex bit and not on the sleek, fast and sensual sides.

This is an incredible thread, I have to echo others' comments that it's very inspiring. I want to sculpt a Slaaneshi Daemon prince/alternate Keeper of Secrets when I'm done with my current projects, and your Princesses are making me want to push my "main" army onto the back burner.

I do have to ask, why did you choose to cast single-piece moulds and then cut rather than using dummy moulds and casting in halves? You'd gain the advantage of being able to have mould keys, as well as not needing to cut perfectly down the middle of incredibly fine parts like the wings (which I know I'd screw up if I tried...). Admittedly, as someone without a pressure pot to cast in, I've ended up getting very stuck in my Japanese-style ways for casting.

There are several compelling reasons use single piece molds:

1. Its fast as you don't have to mix and pour the silicon rubber twice. If the rubber you use take 24 hours to cure as most of the quality stuff does, then a cut mold will save you a whole day.

2. A cut mold has far better registration, that is to say far, far more keys than a two part mold. When you cut the mold you don't simply cut a straight line down to the model; you cut down in layers and zig-zag the blade back and forth slightly. Done right when you put the mold back together it locks tight; you should even be able to tell its cut! If you want even more registration you can include a worm key.

3. A cut mold is far more accurate that a two part mold. When you build a clay wall you introduce errors to you cast. The clay bed is never completely smooth and so the to half never fit together precisely. Which is why two-part molds often have lots of flash on their casts. With a cut mold it goes back together so well, the first several or so cast have no flash, and on the later ones the flash is so fine you can blow it off.

4. Cutting is incredibly easy. Mind you the wings you see here were more difficult to cut than most models would be with this technique. You just start cutting at the sprues and follow the model. If you use retractors like I do its very easy to see where to cut, and perfect accuracy is not necessary anyway. With many models you might not even need to cut the mold completely in half to get the master out. If you can do that you'll get an even better reproduction.

I hope this helps.

Re:Sersi's Slaaneshi Themed Daemon Army

Sersi — GMT

Oh yeah, several people have asked what a worm key is.

A worm key is cut with a special curved blade you can by them special made like this (they're quite expensive by the way):

[img]http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/5/5/31383_md-.jpg[/img]

Or you can simply make your own from an x-acto or scalpel blade by heating it and bending it around a brass rod, fixed in a vise like this (cheap!):

[img]http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/5/5/31380_md-.jpg[/img]

You only use it to make your outer most cuts, like so:

[img]http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/5/5/31385_md-.jpg[/img]

After you make your worm cut you just do a zig-zag cut down until you reach the model.

[b]Okay here is my first altered pose.[/b]

Just a few words on techniques and materials. The best way to chop up plastic or resin minatures is to use a straight edge razor. You can get a box of a 100 for a $1-2. Just go to the paint section of Walmart a buy a holder, again it cost like $2. You can get beautifully clean guilotine-like cuts, that you could never get with an x-acto knife; without the hazardous resin dust that results from sawing. I prefer to use copper wire to pin as its strong and still flexible, again Walmart for under a dollar for 26ft. My putty of choice is Aves either classic Aves Sculpt or Fixit Sculpt tinted with Paine's Grey oil paint to taste. It's can do anything that green stuff or milliput can, and it far cheaper.

In case your wondering the fin on the back was from a quick mold off the steed of Slaneesh.

[b]Here are some status pictures on my pleasureseekers {count as fiends):[/b]

I decided to mount Pegasus wings on them. I justify them with the fact that they have hit and run, and that the wings fit the theme I seem to have going. I'm currently working on the riders, who will be equipped with dark elf lances, and shields based of the . the mounts will sport bridles fashioned out of modeling chain.

I also did a little work on the Count as Skarbad model. I cut the legs to make him a bit taller, and to reposition the pose:

[b]Okay, Ive got some ideas that i need to feedback on:
[/b]

[b]Bases:[/b]

I decided some post back to go with a basing theme centered around the fall of the Eldar. I'm thinking of doing something based on this image:

[img]http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/5/12/32487_md-.jpg[/img]

Since I think that having dead Eldar lying around would be tacky, how about some topple and shattered Eldar statures and spires? Maybe some thing similar to this:

[img]http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/5/12/32493_md-.jpg[/img]

I'd use actual Eldar runic script of course. I could sculpt the statues cast them in plaster and then break them up. Or just buy some bit and paint them like marble. It could look kind of like ancient ruins of a Craftworld, still echoing with the horrors of the "Fall".

[b]Poses:[/b]

I am still trying to decide on poses for the daemon other two daemon princesses, so i dug into my anime garage kit sites for these:

[IMG]http://i428.photobucket.com/albums/qq3/Fifth_miracle/5-12-2009/1850_530_530.jpg[/IMG]

[b]
Soulgrinders:[/b]

After much thought I've decided to just scratch-build and sculpt these. For what I want to do with them there is no real point in modifying a existing model. I'd be making so many changes that it would waste time rather than save it. If someone could provide rough figures on the lengtha and width of the mechanical body, that would be most helpful.

[b]Seekers:[/b]

I've been waiting for more resin to come in from smooth-on. If should arrive today so you can expect ridiculous amounts of seeker to be posted up.

Later!

@sersi , since you have very good cast for wings , why not make some in actual flying pose?

Absolutely stunning and inpsirational work. Truly Outstanding. Thanks for sharing and the tutorials.

Good choice on eldar fall bases. Id go with broken statues crumbling ruins. Its epic and classy.

As for poses, I like the first girl in purple. I know its the more difficult pose but I dont doubt youll pull it off. That pose hints at something of violence and sensual. Come close to me and see what happens...

This plog is amazing.
You have a wonderfully-themed army here, bristling with outstanding and creative conversions.

Your "fallen Eldar" concept for the bases sounds great.

And I love -- really love -- the posing on the first daemon princess.

Breaker — GMT

Some how I shouldn't be surprised that some Ikki tousen figs showed up here, but I like the last two poses myself.

I think arm-blading one of the princess would give some nice separation between them as they're mostly longer swords and spears, it'd give her a bit more brutal look which'd be a nice off set.

I've been meaning to post these up for about a week now. I got caught up on a comission, oh and converting 80 or so daemonettes into new posed and equiping them with alternate weapons. Ah well....

So, here is Daemon Princess #2. I've working on the fluff for the army, but I haven't named the individual daemons yet. For the Pose I went with a more dynamic pose that the Anime one I was considering before.

Here's a my first Pleasureseeker with rider. I have 12 of these things/ I'm still working on the riders which are a pain in the @#$!! to get posed just right. I may have to re-think the wing positioning though, as moving the wings back, makes the placement of the rider far easier.

[b]Some Fury Updates: [/b]

These were pretty straight forward to do, but turned out rather nice. I bits ordered a bunch of WHF Dark Elf weapons and arms; they work great with very little in the way of modification required. I basically just chopped off a few daemonette claws and used Plastic-Weld to melt on the new weapon hand.

This fury has a Dark Elf horn, which is far more effective look wise that the monstrosity that the box comes with. The regular damonette instruments I cut the ends off them and use them as heads for my Emperor's Children, instead.

Re:Sersi's Slaaneshi Themed Daemon Army

Sersi — GMT

Well I just recieved my new 72 pot Vallejo Game Color set, and the GW wash set yesterday. So, I plan to get a few test minis done by the weekend, after I figure out the color schemes for the various units I prime and base coat them with an air brush.

[b]As far as how much more needs to be done for the army, well....:[/b]

[b]Daemon Princesses: [/b]

1. Finish sculpting the basic head
2. Sculpt the Brown stuff armor.

These will be done this week for sure!

[b]Gluttons: [/b]

Done!

[b]Daemonettes: [/b]

Done!

[b]FW Keeper of Secrets: [/b]

Done!

[b]Furies: [/b]

Done!

[b]Slayers: "Count as Bloodletters"[/b]

I haven't started yet but honestly the conversion is very straight forward. I'll finish these up this week.

1. Cut the limbs and use styrene inserts to upscale them.
2. Swap out their claws with Darl Elf weapons

[b]Seekers: [/b]

1. I just need to build the mold, and cast them.
2. The riders need minor conversion work, weapon swaps mostly.

[b]Pleasureseekers: [/b]

These need a bit of work, mostly on the riders.

[b]Soulgrinders: [/b]

These are going to be scratchbuilt, so lots of work remains. I just finished drawing up the templates for the mechanical parts in Adobe Illustrator. So, I should be getting started on those this weekend. I haven't started sculpting the jiggly daemonic bits yet.

[b]KOS "Counts as Skarbad": [/b]

No progress. I could probably get him done in a day, I just need to make the time.

So, the vast majority is ready for painting, but we still have a way to go.

So...cool, Not cool, bleeping retarded? This princess will have optional wings as well, I''' just heat the tips in hot water and bend them out outward as though they're resting on the ground. Pics on that later....

Oh and I finished the riders for the Pleasureseeker! More later!

I like this pose, it's like she is just about to pounce.

For a super-dynamic low pose, I might have put one of the upper hands on the ground, the other arm fully back, with the claws pulled back. This would require more of a torso twist and a knee on the ground, something very different from what you've sculpted. It would be tightly-coiled and explosive.

I have to say Sersi, Im not convinced with the arm positions on the new FDP, it is all to cramped together and though those arms work well for the others, this whole model is so drastically different from the others that maybe its time to sculpt brand new arms just for this girl. Like one arm cocked back, the other crossing the chest, as if she is about to deal a lethal blow with the cocked back arm...

Thanks, I was going for a heavy landing, maybe perched on a high-ish base looking down.

[b]JohnHwangDD:[/b]

I considered a pose with the hand on the ground but thought it was to close to the crouching Princess with the spear. I might not not be getting my idea across to well. The pose is supposed to look like she just complete a double sword slach attack, with the blades ending up behind her...I might need to re-think that. Thanks for the imput.

[b]Gameandwatch:[/b]

I really appriciated the hard crit. I've been trying to get this to work on and off and the hand just aren't right and the left leg isn't convincing. I'll work on combing your and JohnHwangDD ideas. So, new arms and claws...soon... Thanks! Sometimes you just need someone to tell to stop being a lazy git.

I fully admit to cheating on these riders. You'll notice that the leg and bodies of the riders are an off white color compared to the GW bits. I converted two models and cast them legs of one and the body of the other. These aren't quite done yet...

[b]Things yet to do:[/b]

1. I'll need to dip their legs in hot water so I can position the legs to more closely for the side of the steed.

2. I need to GS some flowing loincloths on them similar to the old mounted daemonettes but longer and more dynamic.

3. I still have to assemble the last three, but they';ll be done today.

No saddles for these girls, bare back all the way.

Since, I have a few extra cast of crouching daemonettes mounted one on the base of my Glutton Champion. It also occurred to me last night that since the gluttons are on a 40 mm base and freaking huge; I could use them as "counts as" Bloodcrushers! 12 bloodcrushers in a single unit would definitely draw fire off my girls, far more that some plague bearers....hmmm...

Anyway I like the idea of having a few tiny by comparison daemonettes on the Glutton bases. Maybe one riding on a gluttons shoulders and pointing at the enemy, or chicken fighting.

Muahahahah, you have to do the riding deamonette now, you said so must DO IT!! lol, can't wait to see that, and yeah def use them as counts as crushers, plagues are like same size as deamonettes, oh and instead of gluttons you could call them... BLOOD GORGERS!!! haha, cant wait for more....

Re:Sersi's Slaaneshi Themed Daemon Army

So I'm into the home stretch on the Daemon Princess models, and well into sculpting armor and detailing the figures. Before I show picture of that work I wanted to show some work I've done on them to get them ready for possible production.

Before casting these for sale I wanted to get them super clean, and get them ready for new production molds. The first thing to do then was to design a easy way to assemble the models together without the need to pin anything. Just some super-glue or 5-minute epoxy and your done. I ended up using square brass tubes cut and fit to act as plugs/and sockets. These are strong and have the added bonus of not allowing the parts to rotate out of position, like round pins do. Once the parts are cast the actual plugs and sockets will be resin, of course but the effect is the same.

So I started out by carefully boring out the parts, starting with smaller drill bits and working up to the appropriate sized hole. I also drew guidelines on the model to ensure that everything lined up after the tubes and putty had set.

Here the sockets in action. this should make casting easier since the pose is so much more dynamic that the original sculpt. I'll be adding either a belt of a sash to mask the join when assembled. You could also just saw off the plug and install magnets instead.

I went with the studded stockings that the old metal school daemonettes used to wear; the arm length glove on the opposite side will have similar studs and flesh hooks. I used Aves to sculpt the clothing and straps and brown stuff putty for the studs. Rolling the Aves out flat with some talc was a new technique for me, as I'd didn't expect it to stick very well to the model afterward. But a light brushing of alcohol and it stuck on just fine. In fact the talc-ed putty was far more controllable that the brown stuff was.

I just need for go back and add some additional rolls of putty to make the wrinkles, around the joints and stress points.
she needs some additional studs as well.

Here's the crouching princesses' armor/clothing...

Lower body armor first:

I decided to go with pleated armor on the legds, shins and hips. She'll also have armored shoulder pads. I used brown stuff putty for this to try it out. I can see that I won't be using it much in the future as Aves can do anything it can; drying harder and smoothing easiers
I started on the upper body armor with Aves instead.

On paint I ordered some new fine tips for my airbrush, so when the time comes: priming, base coating, and perhaps even some shading should go quickly. In any casae I'm sure you'll all tell me if I'm screwing them up.

Looking fantastic sersi, the only crit I will make is that I see piercings as a much understated use of slaaneshi demons, as well as tatoos, instead of armoring one demon princess' torso maybe you could like tatoo a shoulder, and add subtle piercings to the face... just some thoughts!!

Sersi's Slaaneshi Themed Daemon Army

Sersi — GMT

Their WILL definitely be more piercings, and tatoos are a lock. One question though should they have belly buttons?

Close ups on princess #2. It the top of her arm length glove, the copper ring and pierced flesh still needs to be added as well as the Brown stuff studs.

[u]So whats next for Princess #1. [/u]

Well, I'll be leaving the shoulders abdomen and back clear for tattoos and carved in Slaaneshi characters. I also will be redoing the loincloth as its to short and to wide for my tastes. I'm also considering adding some piercing and chains to the wings.

[u]What's next for Princess #2:[/u]

Her leg and shoulder armor will attached to her skin with chains and piercings. Fixing some issues with the anatomy of the shoulders and right upper arm. I also want to make the clavicles and Sterno-mastoid muscle more. prominent. Basically tighten up the anatomy. The holes you see in the crab claw will have copper rings piercing them as well as chains with dangling human skulls. I'm also considering adding some stomach armor and second set of breasts.

Comments and crits would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for looking.

More later!

Beautiful work! Love the poses, love the legs, love the wings... Did I mention I love the legs?

You've managed to make the whole of this army look detailed without looking too busy. Keep that asthetic! As long as you choose a harmonious color scheme, this army cannot fail but be incredible to look at.

Thank you for your comments. Your correct aesthetics and theme were why I wanted to do this army. If nothing else it will be unique.

Okay more armor updates. Were getting close now...

[b]Princess # 1[/b]

Added straps to hold the leg armor to her pierced flesh, and clipped straight pin heads to serve as rivets.

[img]http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/6/20/39014_md-Daemon%20Prince%2C%20Daemon%20Princess%2C%20Daemons%2C%20Slaanesh%2C%20Slaaneshi.JPG[/img]

I'm not sure about the rivets as they maybe to large. I also still need to add the straps to the left leg. Comments please?

[img]http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/6/20/39015_md-Daemon%20Prince%2C%20Daemon%20Princess%2C%20Daemons%2C%20Slaanesh%2C%20Slaaneshi.JPG[/img]

Here's a close up of the shoulder armor, it still need some more sanding and shaping to round it out. I'm thinking about adding two addition segments to make the armor look more flexible. I also added some copper rings piercing to the claw arm they still need to be fixed in place with super glue.

[img]http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/6/20/39013_md-Daemon%20Prince%2C%20Daemon%20Princess%2C%20Daemons%2C%20Slaanesh%2C%20Slaaneshi.JPG[/img]

The shoulder armor is loosely based off this design.

I also added a ankle bracelet and snapped chain.

[u]Here's a close up of the back area:[/u]

The should armor is also held of with piercings.

Here the how the piercing for the legs and torso look together.

And finally the front of the torso. Here I added a second pair of breasts. The will be a pleated breast plate covering the abdomen and pushing up on the breasts. Basically the concept is this daemonette model scaled up.

[img]http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/6/20/39047_md-Daemon%20Prince%2C%20Daemon%20Princess%2C%20Daemons%2C%20Slaanesh%2C%20Slaaneshi.jpg[/img]

Here's the front of the torso so far. The circular plate covering the join in the straps of the shoulder harness will bear a Slaanesh symbol.

Okay more armor updates. Were getting close now...

[b]Princess # 2[/b]

Allot less work was required to get this girl looking good. Started on the studs for the arm. I still need to workout how the materials attaches at the clawed end. I'll probably use a some kind of rivet, rather than a ring through flesh style piercing. I also adding some additional copper rings to the left claw.

[img]http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/6/20/39029_md-Daemon%20Prince%2C%20Daemon%20Princess%2C%20Daemons%2C%20Slaanesh%2C%20Slaaneshi.JPG[/img]

I cleaned up the edges of the arm and leg bracelets seen here:

And here: Also note the belly button piercing. I may change the belly to a finer wire ring.

[b]Princess #3[/b]

She's needing the most work but I plan to get her done today. I've again changed the pose base on feedback given here. She in now in a landing pose with one hand flat on the ground supporting. I haven't decided whether or not to bring back the second set of arms yet, and currently she has to humanoid hands rather than claws. the right hand will probably be clutching a sword with a curved blade.

OK, to answer your first question, I think the leg armor on P1 looks great and distinctive compared to the others, the final straps with a ring attached to the flesh is an a great theme for that specific model, you just need to add the flesh to ring portion which of course you know. Otherwise, a brazier type deal, scaling up that demonette will look great, yet another great concept to work from.

P2 is definetly my fav, I just love how the stockings with the sectioning reminds me of harlequins and directly corrolates to the eldar, which is PERFECT for a Slaaneshi army. Too often you see slaanesh models with absolutely nothing relating them to their origins, here you are capturing it nicely.

On P3, cant say how I feel yet, Im thinking maybe long flowing back and front loincloth, you know angled up with the theme of her having just hit the ground, and I thikn maybe then this would be your best oppportunity to really have one just tattooed. Other than that keep it up, I know everyone whos following this is beggin for paint..

Truly fantastic pieces. It might just be my broken head, but every time I see your running Princesses I think of bowling... Maybe the last one needs a bowling team shirt?

On a more serious note, I think your segmented armour is the wrong way up. On humans, at least, articulated armour like you've got on the ladies' legs will tend to overlap downward like roof tiles. This is on the assumption that most blows would be coming from above (especially on the legs). A blow coming from above on your stuff would catch on the plates, rather than being deflected away. I guess they are somewhat larger than normal people, but I'm not sure of the parallell doesn't still apply.

Anyway, just being pedantic, so feel free to ignore and continue being awesome

I finished sculpting the hand and whip on the keeper of secrets. I need to re-sculpt the nipples on the breasts as the scale is wrong. I also need to add some more studs to the back of her leg and on her newly sculpted hand & arm.

[b]A few detail shots:[/b]

Here's the back of the torso armor. It's intended to be some kind of leather, so it will be getting some texturing work

[img]http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/7/18/43202_md-Daemon%20Prince%2C%20Daemon%20Princess%2C%20Daemons%2C%20Slaanesh%2C%20Slaaneshi.JPG[/img]

Here you can see the front of the shoulder armors rigging. I still need to add a few buckles and add a Slaanesh symbol to the disc. I'll probably glue a thin piece of styrene tubing to a raise edge to the disc.

[img]http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/7/18/43200_md-Daemon%20Prince%2C%20Daemon%20Princess%2C%20Daemons%2C%20Slaanesh%2C%20Slaaneshi.JPG[/img]

Here's a better shot of the shoulder armor. I'll be drilling small holes into the individual plates, and then filling them with small balls of harden putty to make recessed rivets.

In this picture and the next you can see the side of the torso armor. I've drilled small holes along the split between the front and back plates with a pin vise. Later on I'll added the putty laces that hold the armor in place. I may even add a bow!

[img]http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/7/18/43198_md-Daemon%20Prince%2C%20Daemon%20Princess%2C%20Daemons%2C%20Slaanesh%2C%20Slaaneshi.JPG[/img]

Her you can see the broken chains, made out of model ship anchor chain, copper wire, and Aves. In a way it mirrors the detail work on the FW KOS.

This arm guard is pretty much done other that scribing in some details, to make it look ornate.

She is a hair away from being done... She's awaiting her new head and hair, but other than that she just needs a few more brown stuff studs and some scribing work on her are and leg bracelets, and I'll call the sculpting on this one done.

I re-sculpted the nipples larger as it was pointed out the they were out of scale. Hopefully I didn't over compensate to much?

[b]Details on the Loin cloth:[/b]

I abandoned doing the loincloth in GS, it was to flexible and didn't hold its shape good enough. Here's the new start of the loincloth in blessed Aves, rolled out with talcum powder.

I then built up the wrinkles and folds with rolls of Aves.

[b]Daemon Princess #3[/b]

The idea hear is that she is wearing a leather-like ensemble made of Eldar skins: Including leggings, gloves, bikini bottom and some er... leather strappy things. Anyway I need to add some additional copper rings and straps. She still needs a head of course, and a bit of light sanding.

- I like the sword, but I'm not sure about its length. So, opinions please.

- I plan to extend the leggings at their tops and add some laces crossing the butt.

- I plan on leaving a good amount of flesh exposed for tattoos and such.

- I'll also decorate here with captured spirit stones.

In this shot you can see the mounting holes for her wings. I just need to boil some water, and bend the wings so that they spread out along the ground. I may just sculpt a new set however.

[b]I know what your thinking where's are the freaking heads, and where's the paint. What a slacker! [/b]

The truth is that although I've sculpted and computer modeled many heads in the past, I've never done so at this scale. So I kept putting it off and putting it off. But today will be different! I've decided to sculpt some ten practice heads, before shooting for the finished heads. So, here are some shots of this mornings failed attempt.

A basic skull structure has been built up over a ball of Aves putty.

[img]http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/7/18/43238_md-Daemon%20Prince%2C%20Daemon%20Princess%2C%20Daemons%2C%20Slaanesh%2C%20Slaaneshi.JPG[/img]

I used a drill to hollow out the eyes sockets. This was mistake because they were neither deep enough or large enough. So, even at his stage things are already off from good proportions. Always use reference kids, it really helps. I'll use my digital calipers on the next one.

[img]http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/7/18/43237_md-Daemon%20Prince%2C%20Daemon%20Princess%2C%20Daemons%2C%20Slaanesh%2C%20Slaaneshi.JPG[/img]

Here, I've glued hardened balls of Ave's putty in place to serve as eyes.

Quite a bit of sculpting has gone on to get to hear. Since this is practice I'll leave it as is. But examining this effort there are some serious problems with the heads basic structure. For example the eye sockets were not large enough or deep enough. So the eyes are out of place and it throws the whole thing off.

[img]http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/7/18/43186_md-Daemon%20Prince%2C%20Daemon%20Princess%2C%20Daemons%2C%20Slaanesh%2C%20Slaaneshi.JPG[/img]

The horns are also far to small and need to sweep back and over the head.

[img]http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/7/18/43185_md-Daemon%20Prince%2C%20Daemon%20Princess%2C%20Daemons%2C%20Slaanesh%2C%20Slaaneshi.JPG[/img]

This is a perfect example of sculpting what you think you know rather what you see. So I'll be digging out my resin skull to study and reference while working on the other practice heads.

[b]Horrors?!![/b]

Okay this is going to need some explaining. I've been trying to come up with a slanneshi replacement model for horrors. At first I was going to use daemonette heads and torsos with sculpted snake bodies. but I already have lots of nettes' and converted nettes. So what to do? How about a winged flaming snake with a seeker mount head.

[img]http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/7/18/43246_md-Daemons%2C%20Gorgons%2C%20Horrors%2C%20Slaanesh%2C%20Slaaneshi.JPG[/img]

Here it is to scale with my custom sculpted raptor-thing /seeker mount TM.

[img]http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/7/18/43247_md-Daemons%2C%20Gorgons%2C%20Horrors%2C%20Slaanesh%2C%20Slaaneshi.JPG[/img]

Note that is won't look this stiff when done. Since resin becomes pliable with heat. I'll be able to repose them with a simple dunk in hot water. Meanwhile it easier to sculpt and cast it straight.

Just imagine sculpted flames running along it back and a ridiculously over the top coiled pose...with wings! So what do you all think? Too out there? Too stupid? I'm casting to day so you should see results tomorrow.

I'm curious to see what your next head attempt will look like. I'm sure I mentioned this over on the B&C but you really ought to sell casts of these princesses-- they're perfect slaaneshi DPs.

Re:Sersi's Slaaneshi Themed Daemon Army

Sersi — GMT

Okay, I got some free time today and will be working on bases. But I've got a couple of questions about basing:

1. what size base is a daemon prince on? The ones I'm using currently 90mm, which I assume is a little big.
2. I've seen people use CD's as bases for Greater Daemons, it it legal?
3. What base size are Flamers on?
4. What base size are Blood Crushers and they round bases? I currently have my Gluttons on 40 mm bases.
5. What base size are Fiends on?
6. I'm scratch-building my soul grinders, what' the approximate footprint for a Grinder? I'm guessing 4"X6".

Re:Sersi's Slaaneshi Themed Daemon Army

Panic — GMT

yeah,
I've been following your blog, it's awesome.

1. regular CSM DP is on 40mm, but the nurgle CSM DP is based on 60mm ( I believe )
2. Not really. GD are 60mm based
3. 25mm
4. 60mm
5. square calvalry? but i think you could put them on bikebases to keep the round theme.
6. Grinders can be anything really, with feet pointing straight down it's a tall model but it can fit on a 60mm base.... (this is how people with bendy non glued GS DeepStrike them in! then the stretch legs out to reach combats!) for a scratch build I'd recommend the large oval base for dragons, or if the model is going to be tall like a knight defiler then 60mm seems fair.

The thing to Keep in mind is that with your army being all DS base size is very important, putting bloodcrushers on 40mm bases will most likely raise a few 'modeling for advantage / cheating' eyebrows. Just Ask the Wreaking Crew!

Re:Sersi's Slaaneshi Themed Daemon Army

Sersi — GMT

In sculpting and art in general its important to no what your doing. Not necessarily the specific techniques you will use although that can be also be very important. But more specifically what are you trying to make? And do you really know what IT looks like. I'm a character modeler in the gaming industry by trade and we almost always have detailed control art before we even start a new model. When people ask my why something is of I always ask where is your reference? So as you might guess I've made tons of detailed studies and rough sketches for the sculpts for this project before I ever got started. I've shown a few before, but here are some of my drawings from the sketchbook dedicated to this project.

My scanners busted so I just used my cameras to take the pics... Apologies for the image quality.

A couple of things on this page: the head with the downswept horns will be going on the crouching princess with the spear. I really need to name theses things. The costume and sextuplets breasts are going on the princess #3...er the kneeling princess with the sword.

I promised some head progress shots. This is all I have uploaded at the moment, I take some current pic to show later today. The first thing to point out is that these heads are far smaller that the one I posted before. That thing was enormous! These are the correct scale, making the princesses 7 heads tall.

Sersi's Slaaneshi Themed Daemon Army

Wehrkind — GMT

Definitely awesome. The proportions and sense of movement and flow are just excellent.

If I had one complaint, and I feel really silly suggesting this, is that they are not quite androgenous enough. Don't get me wrong, I loves me some daemon women (dated enough at least). I just think that perhaps a bit more of a androgenous bent would make it a little more creepy and daemonic and a little less pin up (a part of me died when I typed "less pin up.")
Just a thought, and I certainly would love it just as much if you completely ignored my suggestion

Just a quick comment sersi, good buddy, for the grinder you could consider having the gun in the belly almost like a pregnant demon birthing goodness to all those within 36". I think it would still keep with the theme, not be too nurgly in any respect if done right(which can easily be done), and may be a seperate very conflicting sidepiece: Pregnant beautiful machine with...OMG, the stomach! What is that! O-o so yeah, just somethin to think about.

Going off of the pregnant soulgrinder idea, you could have "her" cradling the gun belly, like so--

[b]Design sketches for Soulgrinder #1:[/b][/size]

So...I've been thinking about the Soul Grinder counts as model, and have decided to go with Gameandwatch's and The_Chaplain's excellent ideas, and came up with um....this wonderfully daemonic homage to motherhood. :lol:

[img]http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/8/3/46131_md-Daemon%20Engine%2C%20Daemon%20Machine%2C%20Defiler%2C%20Defilerette%2C%20Soul%20Grinder.jpg[/img]

This is the basic idea the engine was formed from the body of an eldar Farseer. Here's the idea engine is a womb where slaaneshi daemons form. An idea stolen from the Ultramarine Omnibus, where the Iron Warriors used grotesquely deformed women to birth new fully grown space marines! Ewe!

[img]http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/8/3/46132_md-Daemon%20Engine%2C%20Daemon%20Machine%2C%20Defiler%2C%20Defilerette%2C%20Soul%20Grinder.jpg[/img]

And no the tooth maw is not what your thinking... It didn't even occur to me until my wife pointed it out. Still I think it fits for Slaanesh. Disturbing, no?

While looking through online pictures of pregnant women for research I came across, this:

[img]http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/8/3/46133_md-.jpg[/img]

Apparently, its done with a temporary dye called Henna. The important thing is that is got me thinking a painting and intricate Eldar/Slaaneshi design on the belly.

[b]So, anyway that's one of my Soulgrinder ideas. Things to do:[/b]

1. The drawing was done to scale so all I have to do is photo-copy it to use as a guide for my armature.
2. The design is not chaotic enough so I'll need to work on some detailing sketches.
3. Since the sculpture is rather large I'll be using gray super sculpey firm and casting the final model.

[b]I need feedback of the design:[/b]

- I've drawn her with 8 arms, but as pointed out six would be better for Slaanesh. Which pair of arms should I remove? The ones on the ground supporting her weight have to remain. While the ones cradling her belly are fundamental to the idea.

- It needs some method of movement legs like a defiler, or perhaps a winged dais, or something?

- I've considered have one set of ares either clutching Slaanesh iconography or having sculpted flames coming from the palms of the hands.

- While the mouth is currently open should she be either blind folded or gagged, S&M style? To much?

- How should I represent the Soulgrinder's weapons?

[b]Please be brutal in your critiques, I can take it.[/b]

Hell, why not both? I don't think it would be too much. Honestly if anyone did have anything against a very softcore S&M theme like that they'd probably take issues with the nudity, too, and of course it's already too late to backtrack on that.

Now if you started sculpting giant horse cocks, or tooth-filled vagin-err...

Anyway, I say it should be mounted on some kind of dais, I like the idea of crab legs more than wings, myself. As for weapons I'd prefer something biomechanical-looking, like a Giger painting. Something that's unmistakeably a gun but with alien-looking tubes or spikes and stuff.

Oh, I've been studying my Giger and Brom for ideas. Bio-mechanic weapons seem the way to go. The challenge will be to make is chaotic and alien, yet sexy at the same time. I think your right on the S&M themes, having gone this far there is no good reason to shy away now. It's not like I ever intend to use this particular army at a GW store. By the way you would be surprised by the number of toothed orifices that come up on official GW Slaanesh art. Typically the nipples are replace with mouth, eyes, etc. That said I'll be leaving what below the belt on my daemons to the imagination. Decency...and all that.

The_Chaplain — GMT

First of all, thank you Sersi for the positive comments about my feedback, that's a rare commodity on the interbutts nowadays.

In my opinion, if you want to remove a set of arms- I'd go with the ones that are sticking out to the sides- as they aren't really [i]doing[i] anything. If you still want slaanesh iconography I'd just do "henna" tatoos on the soulgrinders body to get that across.

As for the crab legs... why not a central dais made to look like a reclining chair or even a bed-like deal ala Hedonism Bot from the show Futurama

Alright, so far...awesome!

My problems:
Mainly just the gun barrel coming out of the stomach...more of just the fact that it is protruding from the stomach. I think you might be better off with a slightly indented gaping hole(sae size as the gun barrel) apposed to the gun barrel itself.

Slannesh is all about pleasure...well perverse pleasure upon more and more perversity. To be really twisted, you could think about the hole in the stomach as a 'glory hole' (yikes) at the same time a hole in a pregnant woman's stomach.

This in my opinion simply gives too much away, where as with the other idea its like a poke your finger in and see whats in there idea, Slannesh feeding that common curiosity complex with a nasty suprise!

Oh and thanks for the compliment! Art backround comes in handy on occasion!

PS Last minute thought, I know your goin for the super sexy and all, but if you do go for my 'hole' idea, I suggest slight wrinkling or linear tearing around the hole, as if something had ripped the walls or something.... man this is grosse haha!

OH!! one other thing, how is this model supposed to move around, I mean you could say being a former psycher it just hovers across the battlefield, actually I like that Idea sorda like a shiva on a cloud! When its done, you should mount it on one of those large skimmer bases!!

Looks good and the idea is nice, but I would make the soulgrinder a little different:

I found this pic from Clive Barker's Action Figure Series "Lost Souls":

[img]http://www.spawn.com/toys/horror/barker/mongroid/images/barker_mongroid_photo_02_dl.jpg[/img]

Make a female version of it with additional arms and put a Nid-Chaos-Hellcanon-style cannon into the opend belly.

I wouldn't make it too gigeresque, because it would be a break. The whole army looks more angelic-fleshly, so I think, a "Species"-like, bionic machine wouldn't be suitable to the rest.

Oh so you prefer an innie over an outie? At the moment I'm thinking of using mechanical crab legs, as several people have pointed out that its supposed to be a walker...Doh!

I really do love how this army is coming together, amazing work Sersi...

Now, about the soul grinder...

I think the pregnant idea is great, and you seem to be doing rather nicely with your designs to far, however I do have a few suggestions.

One being that I think you should keep her eyes visible, or at least refrain from the dome-visor thing you've got there. Covering that much of her face hides a lot that could be used to work with you regarding the details of her expression. You may find it more effective to have the eyes and brow visible to help reinforce the 'it hurts but I'm enjoying it' concept.

Also, the lack of the obligatory Slaanesh 'crab claw' is bugging me just a bit, and I think that if done right, adding one or two of those will really help you here.

After all, this is going to end up as basically a keeper of secrets strapped to a mechanical spider-tank of doom as she's 'giving birth' to chaotic warp energies... right?

lol

Just some suggestions, I'm sure it'll be amazing either way.

I disagree, in fact I think it's perfect and will fit in well with the rest of the army.

Why? Because that's exactly what the soulgrinder [i]is[/i], machine and flesh combined. None of the other demons in the GW line have mechanical bits on them, the soulgrinder is the only one that does. I dunno, it makes sense to me, and I don't think it would look any more out of place in this army than it would in a standard GW demons army.

[b]The_chaplain: [/b]

- Thanks for the offer, I'm sure I'll be PM-ing you sooner than later.

[b]Karoline Dianne: [/b]

- Thanks for the reply. My thinking on the head was that the dome over her eyes was a computer/viewer screen showing heretical imagery capable of warping the mind and corrupting the soul. I could be smaller though, and take up less of the face.

- I'll definitely try to work in claws, when I design the legs.

[b]ShotgunFacelift:[/b]

- Nasty as in that's sick but I can't stop looking at it? If so that's what I going for. Thanks!

[b]Wolf:[/b]

- Thanks. Yeah, the short barrel is intended to be the Maw cannon, although I'll likely change it to and indented design.

[b]Typhus:[/b]

- I'll need to study this design but it looks to have allot of potential. But it looks like I could easily remove the legs from the design, and merge everything from the waist down into a mechanical spider body based on this design. I need three Soulgrinders anyway, so its definietely something I'll be taking a closer look at. Thanks!

[b]Sidstyler:[/b]

- I figured you were joking, but I still value the input. While, I couldn't be bribed to enter a GW store...and only ever play adults. Its still easy to take Slaaneshi themes to far.

- I'm thinking that the soulgrinder should be a combination of hard metal parts and soft organic flesh. So, in the nest revision I'll try to incorporate that.

Re:Sersi's Slaaneshi Themed Daemon Army

Sersi — GMT

[B]So I've been thinking, Yes dangerous I know. [/B]

So, anyway. I still need to come up with a way to represent: plaguebearers and nurglings.

Now, Slaves to Darkness mentions the "Tormented" which are kinda these slaaneshi zombie-slave things. That got me thinking about converting grave ghouls and putting them in gimp-suits: leather hoods and loin cloths most likely. Afterall, the Sisters and Inquisition already have "church sanctioned Gimps...excuse me...arco-flagellants. And Slaanesh is not one to be outdone with regard to fetish.

For nurglings. How about daemonic version of the munchkins from the Wizard of Oz / Umpalumpas from Willie Wonka for nurglings? Creepy, no?

I think that would look amazingly horrible and still keep with the army, Im confuse werent you doing the ogres as plagubearers? where they way too big? If they were, you know you dont have to go bloated for plaguebearers, everyone does the bloated thing, what about a plague that does the opposite. like a plague that sucks away your fat to make you sexier...but causes such addiction that it doesnt stop there...and the plaguebearers keep injecting themselves with it to become skinnier and skinnier, like plague driven bolemics(S?). constantly purging, to feel good....yikes....

I think you were really onto something with the original concept you were working on.

My gut instinct is to take the original "stomach gun" sitting deity concept, and place it on a fancy platform. If you are going with the mechanized style (helmet-hair and such) I would continue that by creating a relatively simple "floating/levitating" platform. Simple is quite good, and you can always cover the "hover-board" with fancy patterns to create a nice effect and bonding agent for the models flow.

I am not a huge fan of putting your original idea on spider stilts, it just seems to be over-compensatory for an otherwise very interesting design. It only takes two clashing styles to destroy a nice design, although you could incorporate the spider legs in somehow to back up your prime form with a secondary.

Tomb-spider style would look quite good, dangling stubby legs and a levitating base. Tentacles are my first focus, but remember that a tentacle becomes phallic in more respects than one when directly attached to the hips. I would place them on the edge of the "hover-board" like a classic disc UFO has the landing gear. Three would suffice, and you could even make the rear tentacle modified into an eye stalk of sorts, due to the fact that the face is likely to be blind-folded.

Five tentacles could work, but at this point you might as well be bumping it to six and making them even around the "hover-boards" edges. Four would just look strange, and seven would overwhelm the model.

Ya, saw this on warseer, and hoped you had changed your mind.

Not that there is anything wrong with these concepts... They are just significantly less unique and twisted than the prego-grinder.

Actually, I hate to say it, but other than the cool way each leg set looks (umm... lets just say 'provocative'), the concept is prety boring, and the spider-queen thing a tad overdone.

Not that you havent shown an incredible trend to make everything look insanely, mindblowingly, amazing!

Re:Sersi's Slaaneshi Themed Daemon Army

kestral — GMT

As I understand it soulgrinders are daemon engines, right? So it seems like a daemon fused with a machine is the way to go. How about something along the lines of the penitent engine? Given you amazing sculpting talents, it seems like you ought to show off more styles and get something mechanical in the mix - and they do have an armor value. Forgeworld has done some nice daemon engine stuff recently... Have to admit, I find the prego grinder disturbing. Its odd what will bother one and what won't in miniatures.

...what does "sexfully" even mean? Personally I find this comment more disturbing than it is helpful, lol...some people might be getting too into it.

In any case I think some people might be right though, these designs don't seem to incorporate the half-demon, half-machine theme that the soulgrinder should have.

Sersi's Slaaneshi Themed Daemon Army

gameandwatch — GMT

Woa dude, chill out its a joke, if youve paid attention to the thread, Sersi has mentioned many a time how important it is for the models to be conflicting in two important ways:
-Arousing
-disturbing
Therefore it is important, and an obvious theme that sex is key for this cult of slaanesh. Therefore, "jokingly" sexfully means make it sexy, and disturbing. Thats what the whole army is about.

I also agree with having some machine in there, an armor value is an important point, therefore I agree it should have some representation. You are burdoned with the task of finding a harmony between the two and that is no easy task... where does the soul end and the machine begin?

Sersi please tell us, i beg of you... Will you still do the pregnant grinder?

Re:Sersi's Slaaneshi Themed Daemon Army

Sersi — GMT

Oh Yes! The pregnant grinder and her evil little munchkin babies are definitely getting done. I'll likely use the insect-oid legs from the second drawing, for her mechanical base. It shouldn't take much to tech-up the design. The other two grinders will be based of the third grinder concept design. I got lots of good feedback on that one.

I've started on the legs for the two lesser grinders. I'm pretty much scratch building everything. So, I started on the legs first since I need 12 virtually identical legs. Once I get a nice detailed on leg done I'll mold and cast it 6 six times for each model. The main body I'll sculpt out of super sculpey over a ball aluminum foil to save clay.

I must admit, I like all of your sculpting work you have done. On top of that you back it up with some superb designs on paper which really help you see how your mind works when planning your works.

That cabinet of yours looks fantastic and I imagine once everything is complete will become a focal point for visitors trying to look at all the cool stuff inside.

[B]Soul Grinders: [/B]

So after talking reading a sugestion by Morthai on Warseer, to remove the spider abdomen from the sexy grinder I had a vision. What if I make it like a Siamese twin type thing with two upper bodies fused together at the waist with six striding legs.

They could be back to back. Or perhaps embracing an with their hands extending past them. I'll have to sketch this up! But man my mind whirling now.

[b]Daemon Princesses:[/b]

The DP head ended up being a bit to big but the face wasn't to bad. So I'll be taking a little of the top, the chin and sides. The funny thing is I scaled it correctly, but as I adding putty and carved away it just grew.

[b]Seekers:[/b]

Casting on these has proven sucessful! I have like [size=18]36[/size] awaiting riders and lances.

[b]Slayers:[/b]

I converted all 12 daemonettes into running poses. I still have to cast there "Bliss Giver" swords. I may add horns or stunted wings to these. I'm not sure yet. I need something to make them different and bring them, into the own.

Thanks again for all the comments.

I did do some sketches using legs similar to those. I've since decided to go with more organic looking Soulgrinders. Thanks for posting the pics though.

A couple of other ideas to bounce off you guys:

[b]Horrors: [/b]

Daemonettes with an techno-organic blasters. Instead of two crab claws, they would have a gun arm and a humanoid hand. How many of these do I need, anyway? 12?

[b]Changling:[/b]

This one was easy to come up with. Racy daemonette in a Commissar cap, and jacket. Yeah...yeah...I know it cliche. But mine will be flashing her

Sersi's Slaaneshi Themed Daemon Army

gameandwatch — GMT

well, instead of the hand cannon deamonettes, I think you should make your horrors gorgons, like medusa scept without the snake hair something like these, where their eyesbeams are their weapons, that or make gorgons flamers, as they are more insta-death than horrors:

This whole thread is amazing. Sersi you have some mad crazy talent! Your creations are brilliant! I can't wait to see your daemon princess fully modeled, and the soul grinders are really exciting. I can't wait to see the pictures!

The soul grinders are so exciting in fact, that hopefully it won't offend you if I "borrow" the pregnant belly idea for my Slannesh/EC defiler...
I'm planning on converting to look a bit more demonic than the out of box-defiler. My concept is to keep it more machine than demon; replacing most of the defiler torso with a more organic torso, and use your idea of the pregnant belly gun. creating something hopefully more giger-esque in appearance.

Amazing stuff, keep up the great work.
Very inspiring!
I'll definitely be checking back often for updates.

Now see I can always count on you to bring the inspiration. Those pictures are just what I needed, I was just thinking to myself that the gun thing was not going to work. Which would be scarier a winged snake breathing magical fire or a hot daemonic chick with blazing eyes? I honestly don't know the answer, but now I MUST make both....

[b]Eygji:[/b]

Please feel free to use any idea or designs you see in this thread. They are certainly not all my ideas.

[b]Keeper of Secrets:[/b]

Just some minor tweaks to this model. The nipples were to small so I made them more puffy? I also replace the nipple ring. Anyway she just needs some studs down the back of the right leg and another nipple ring on the 2nd tier of breasts left side. Other than that she's getting washed, sanded and primed today.

[b]Daemon Princesses:[/b]

These are also essentially done but for minor detailing. These shot shoe the final head that I will be molding today, unless their are any objections. Note this isn't the final head. Once cast they will each get unique heads with different hair, tentacle, and horn arrangements. I also decided to keep the features fairly subtle to allow for easier modification. This head can be easily modified to a nose-less Diaz-style daemonette head or a more more human set of facial features.

OH. MY. GOSH.

Never in my life did I think I'd see something so frigging amazing. [As far as modeling goes at least. ]

I really liked the original soul-grinder idea. You could make the stomach tear obviously not a vagina by positioning it high on the stomach, with plenty of normal skin between it and the model's nether-regions. You'll never get away from the connotations I guess, but that's kind of the idea anyway. Just don't give it lips or fangs.

Okay, so I went cheap on these and just swapped the claws out for Dark Elves swords instead of going the custom route. Hopefully, their reposing and paint job will sell them as Bloodletters. Their will ultimately be 12 in total, I'm still waiting on a 3 more boxes of daemonettes.

[b]Wryms: "Count as Flamers"[/b]

I finally, got around to working on the last two of these. I'm only making 6 as I've come to the conclusion that two units of 3 deep striking is plenty for 2,000 point games. Besides I still have the mold so I can always make more.

[b]Ah....headz...at last!!![/b]

So I got the basic heads cast, yeah! I'll be changing the expressions on each, and adding different horns, hair, and detailing to each. I plan on doing 5 different heads. And yes, space marine lovers there will be a screaming head!

So, the completed kit when cast up will have lots of options: you'll be able to select one of 3 poses, you'll also get 5 different heads, 2 sets of arms with and without claws, and three weapons choices, along with removable magnetized wings. I'll also have custom conversion available upon request with alternate poses etc.

Here are a few mockups I knocked together with different horn configurations: (Note - these are done with soft clay, so they're just to give an idea of size and placement. The really horns will be sharper and less droopy. )

Have you thought about doing the tentacles for hair thing that the older, and in my opinion nicer, daemonettes had going for them, on your daemon princesses?

I always thought that made them look extra creepy, yet alluring.

First off, impressive army, not often you see this much work put into a force and its paying off! Second, if its not too late I think you should leave the pregnant soulgrinder's face uncovered.

That midget on the far left, that's a WF Grave Ghoul, puny ain't he.

I suppose I could try to convert them into a more upright pose, but honestly I be better sculpting new torsos to go with the other wise awesome heads and arms. But even then I doubt they approach the height if a daemonette. They really don't look very resilient.

I could easily fit three on a 40 mm bases and use them as counts as nurglings though...yes I definitely see some potential for evil looking little munchkins.

Kroot are pretty good, as they are distinctly non-human, but you need to keep in mind that you might want to file down all of their body quills, manage to hide their sashes and cover/smooth their belly segmentation to make them not look like kroot. Flaggelents might be a good choice though:

I also started working on the new bodies for these imps of Slaanesh. They're kinda look like flying monkeys, so they'll have tiny vestigial wings.

[img]http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/9/2/51189_md-.jpg[/img]

See, told ya these things were tiny. How large is the nurgling base? I was thinking of putting 3 on a 40 mm base squabbling over some treasure of some sort. With the huge grasping hands on the models, they could represent greed fairly well.

[u]Pleasureseekers:[/u]

These are finally done. They just need a little sanding and some paint. Here's an example of the finished conversions.

I also worked on the Daemon Princesses, cleaning them up and working on the variant heads. I'm working on GS hair today. I'm excited though ordered some more silicon rubber, I want to get them molded and cast this weekend. If all goes well they be available for sale next week...PM if interested!

[b]Daemon Princess #1[/b]

[img]http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/9/2/51194_md-.jpg[/img]

[u]Things to do:[/u]

- this head variant will be pretty close to the FW keepers horn arrangement.
- the body is pretty much done except for some rivets on the armor, I haven't decided whether or not to engrave the individual armor plates.
- I still need to smooth out the wing joins and sculpt the neck...30 minutes tops.
- her crotch is exposed. Does she need a loincloth as well?

[b]Daemon Princess #2[/b]

[u]Things to do:[/u]

- needs engraving on the arm and leg bands.
- needs a few more BS rivets on the left arm and right leg.
- the forward swept horns on the head will be complemented with a more prominent nose, and long flowing anime- style hair.

[b]Daemon Princess #3[/b]

[img]http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/9/2/51191_md-.jpg[/img]

[u]Things to do:[/u]

- finished the sword, and beefed up the handle on it.
- re-sculpted the right shoulder and tweaked the arm for better anatomy and proportion. Still need to fix the elbow.
- will be re-sculpting the right hand to be more expressive.
- this variant head will be screaming...or moaning in ecstasy... or something... Its will have the single horn and tentacle hair of the Juan Diaz daemonettes. Don't worry I'm still working on the mouth, which will also have teeth.

[u]Should i change the face to look more like the beak of the Diaz daemonettes?[/u]

hi. your stuff is great seri.
just wondering, have you made any models of the gorgon ppl (horrors)? maybe they could be juggling fire.

also on the preggy soul grinder idea, try sticking her on a stand type thing. basically a seat with six legs (like the soul grinder base) and have her wired into it. also with the belly gun, have you thought of having it with a demon climbing out of the belly gun, and a bunch of others climbing down the front of the model as if they have just climbed out. just a thought.

maybe instead of calling the gluttons, gluttons, call them blood gluttons, (they are khorne right?) or glutton slavers (representing the fact that this is a slannesh army, not a khorne one, and the gluttons don't look slanneshi, so say they were enslaved by the demonnettes, though i suppose they already are because of the wips.) if they are slaves ii would say make it a bit more distinct, coz overall they look brill, but they dont look slannessh enough.

also , you know how you cast your models, do you sculpt, then cast, or cast ready made models/conversions???

Re:Sersi's Slaaneshi Themed Daemon Army

'Blood Gluttons' would be a Khorne name. Being a Slaaneshi Army, I'm guessing their official name will be something different when he's done.

And he casts his own sculpts on account of the fact that recasting existing GW stuff is illegal and if you just start recasting and selling a bunch of their stuff, they'll bite you. Hard.

Your conception of Slaanesh seems a little limited. Sure its mostly about sexy, demon girls. But I want to hint at the multi-faceted nature of Slaanesh. S/he is the God/Goddess of Excess/Vice and Sin. As in the seven deadly sins.

[u][b]Gluttons:[/b][/u]

Gluttons are the manifestation of the sin of Gluttony. Their supposed to be obese lumbering monstrosities that exist only to eat and drink. Which is why I choose ogres bull for the count as models. Their fluff already matched what i intended to use them for. They count as blood crusher because A. they're huge, and B. they're multi-ton monsters whose vast bulk serves as their armor. I submit that a giant fat guy who wants to eat you is just as terrify as a being chased by a mechanical bull.

They aren't slaves of the daemonettes but they are easily distracted by anything that they can cram into their maws, especially mortal flesh! The daemonettes on their base are their to keep them moving forward rather than chowing down.

[b]Now having said that, I'm always open to suggestions. They already have exposed breasts, nipples, horns and piercings. So what would you do to make the more slaaneshi? [/b]

[quote]also , you know how you cast your models, do you sculpt, then cast, or cast ready made models/conversions???[/quote]

It depends really. Casting for me is really just a way to save having to sculpt the same thing multiple times. Take the Daemon princesses for instance i needed three. But why start from scratch on each one, when a more generic body would save literally weeks of effort. For the gluttons everything from the waist up is GW parts, the legs are custom and the arms were converted by adding a plug in the upper arm. For the mounted daemonettes its a mix I sculpted and cast new legs with daemonette feet, and used GW heads and torsos, with sculpted on breasts. Some have cast torsos that I sculpted without their corsets. Really, it depends.

Here's more progress on the KOS - grinder stand in. He's being based off this image:

[img]http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/4/24/29466_md-.jpg[/img]

I'm using super sculpey to quickly build up the anatomy of the model. Once baked I'll be skinning it with Aves apoxy putty and detailing it.

[u][b]Soul Grinder #1[/b][/u]

Worked on the pregnant SG as well. I'm baking the shoulders and ribcage at the moment so that I can drill the holes for the arms, and start work on them. I also started work on the mechanical legs for her mobile. The black lines on the model are there to indicate the locations of the various muscle groups.

[img]http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/9/11/52797_md-.jpg[/img]

[u][b]Soul Grinder #2[/b][/u]

I finished casting up the legs on the second SG. So, she's moving along fast, and will definitely be done this weekend. I must say she looks much better in life than in my sketches. The sexy, spider, ballerina nature of the legs is pretty creepy. The triple fan service crotch shot will doubtlessly disturb many, as well.

[u][b]Daemon Princess:[/b][/u]

I didn't get much feedback regarding the heads or hair on them. But I'd like some suggestions on adding some nice final details to them. I want them to look sexy rather than gribbly. But, looking at the GW greater daemons, they seem a little under detailed at the moment.

[b] Anyway I have to get ready for work. Happy Friday![/b]

WOOT TENTACLES! I might suggest a somewhat more prominent chin on the tentacle haired girl though... the way it slopes now combined with the tongue suggests Downs syndrome a bit. Then again, maybe I am just traumatized by the baby in a bottle my highschool bio teacher had.

Definitely digging where the soul grinders and that excellent KoS are going too. Great blog so far!

Oh, yea, the bald daemon princess. I think perhaps the horns are a tad big and bulky. For some reason they are saying "Khornate brutality" not "Slaaneshi delicacy". It might just be the over all shape though that suggests the skull/rabbit ear icon of Khorne though.
Still, this is a fantastic bit of work!

Well done sersi, things seem to be progressing nicely, as for detailing, ill wait to see what you do for expressions and hair details on the princesses, but on the grinders, I think one of your best options to consider may be paint detailing, as in tatooing... they are nice big models, compared to the princesses and such, and therefore it is easier/faster/more enjoyable to do tatooing on models like those...

I look forward to your progress!

I've completely bulked him out in sculpey as much as needed to. I'll be switching gray-tinted Aves Fixit Sculpt next. The claws you see on the model were originally intended for the Daemon Princess models, and are just place holders. They far to small compared to my reference image, and will be replaced later. The feet are from the WF Giant model and are also to small, so I'll be re-sculpting on those too.

Found this thread the other day, went through every page. i simply LOVE it.(its why i created an account). I was annoyed that they removed the old metal daemonette models, and its great to see the spirit of those back even in the monstrous creatures. It looks... gorgous. And inspirational.

Re:Sersi's Slaaneshi Themed Daemon Army

DreadAssassin — GMT

I agree with Bascilica, games-workshop usually do some nice miniatures... and some not so nice ones... but one of their biggest blunders in my opinion was making the new plastic daemonettes look like the older [3rd gen?] ones. The metal ones from last edition, released with Hordes of Chaos for WH Fantasy were some of the best metal miniatures they had done for a while. Not only did their appearance fit the rules and fluff, in my opinion, they also looked better.

If i was an empire soldier or imperiall guardsmen, i would be more distracted (i.e. their rules) by the older models than the new plastic ones.

Still. Bloody good work Sersi! Keep it up, hope you do more brilliant work in the future!

Welcome to Dakka! Thanks for the enthusiastic post. I think we all miss the Diaz-nettes. But having said that they were fairly static, and hard to convert. I don't get it personally, the Dark Elves line was just redone, and their Harpies still have hanging breasts (note to self by a few sets before they evaporate as well). They have no reason to be wearing clothing, other than revealing lingerie...which in my opion is more naked that naked.... The corset thing is rather daft, yeah I get this like a painful thing to wear, but is not emphasized enough if that's what their going for.

So, I worked on the big boy some more last night. With his hunched over pose he's approximately 14.5 cm tall, if he were standing erect he'd be around 20 cm. At this point I've skinned him with Aves Fixit Sculpt, so he's rock solid. I've enlarged the feet and replaced the claws with a far larger set; to better match the reference. Hopefully they look alright, if not let me know. He's also had his horns blocked in and his head started.

One tiny niggling worry about the Soul Grinders. Where are the guns? I have to admit without reading the blog I'd find it hard to work out which are Soul Grinders and which is the Keeper of Secrets. The Daemon Princesses work beautifully at this as a triplet of similiar designs they are obviously the same role. However the Soul Grinders lack this.

[b]littleboyblues:[/b]

Funny you should mention that as a friend and I have been considering building a "Great Game" themed table or a Daemon world table.

[b]gameandwatch:[/b]

Nah...I'll be doing both, but I'm still sculpting the basic marines to cast. The Crusade I've been planning will be taking allied Daemonhunter Inquisitor as a counts as "Ecclesiastic Confessor" and storm troopers as fodder. The Templars are going to have Gothic MK8 armor just like the current Emperor's Champion and the Jump Pack Chaplain. The Terminators will have armor similar to the Grey Knight Terminators. I'm still working on the designs of the: Neophytes, Confessor, and Stormtroopers. I'll definitely be a while on this one

For the Emperors Children, Tortoise's EC on Warseer along with Liber Chaotica have really inspired me to build a basic marine body and go heavy on the Noise marine iconography. I'll probably do ten basic bodies and cast as needed. I'll still use GW bits for the weapons and heads ETC.

[b]grey_death:[/b]

Thanks. I'd be happy to help out with any sculpting questions you might have. I know I'll definitely be combing your site for tips, when I start painting. I just hope I can do it justice. At the very least I'll be getting lots of practice.

[b]deadly chicken:[/b]

Oh I'm molding all the models Ive sculpted. Although the epoxy putty I use to sculpt them is ridiculously strong, solid resin is pretty much invulnerable. I want to sell copies of them as well as soon as I can figure out a good way to go about doing it.

[b]Llamahead:[/b]

Sorry, I haven't been very clear on the what the models represent. The two larger "4-armed" models will be used as HQ's. The FW KOS will just be used as a KOS; while the scratch-built one will either be used as a KOS or as a "counts as" Skarbrand.

For the Soul Grinders their as two types. The Pregnant one and the 6-legged one. For the Pregnant one the maw cannon will be mounted in the belly, and the harvester is represented by her single eye. For the 6-legged one, the maw cannon will be represented by the screaming mouth, and the harvester by her up raised hands. Although, I've considered incorporating some Eldar heavy weapon designs into the sculpt instead. Maybe a fused gun/claw arm similar to the official model.

I really like the last head swap. And the one that was chinless might look better without the long tounge.

Sersi's Slaaneshi Themed Daemon Army

graypaint — GMT

The eye sockets on the skull are too high, if you look at a human skull you'll notice they are a lot lower than you may have assumed.

It doesn't matter that much, but the proportions of her head are going to come out looking a bit neanderthal; her jaw is very large and wide and her forehead is very reduced.

The KoS-counts as soulgrinder is amazing though, great sculpt. I really like seeing all of these come together.

Re:Sersi's Slaaneshi Themed Daemon Army

Admittedly, my first thought on seeing your scratch sculpted KoS was 'nice arse'.

Hi guys. I've got a couple of updates for ya.

[b]KOS #2[/b]

I took the time to cut this guy up and socket the major joints and torso to make him easier to detail and ultimately cast. He's actually further along that this but I've gotta sort through all the in progress pics I have before I post most on him. Basically all that's left to do is finalize that hand poses, punch up the anatomy a bit with some light carving work, and smooth sanding the surface.

[img]http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/10/3/56658_md-.jpg[/img]

[img]http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/10/3/56657_md-.jpg[/img]

[b]Pregnant Soulgrinder:[/b]

This is coming along nicely as well. I've got the body done, and I'm currently working on the head. Since its the make of break part of the model I'm taking my time with it. In these pictures I chopped the model up in preparation of sculpting male/female connections. I was a necessity for the legs because their pose din not allow me to easily sculpt the feet and shin areas. Ive also gone ahead and started installing the metal sockets for the wiring that will bind her to the walker.

[img]http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/10/3/56659_md-.jpg[/img]

[img]http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/10/3/56661_md-.jpg[/img]

Here is the styrene sheet skeleton for the walker arms. They will be built up with putty and machined the right size and shape. Once the prototype is done I cast of six resin copies for the model. As you can see the legs are sully articulated. I'll be using silicon washers and plastic pins to allow the model to be fully poseable.

Re:Sersi's Slaaneshi Themed Daemon Army

I have to admit though that although I really like this design. It really doesn't work as a fiend for me. A named daemon sure, fiend no. Having said that I will probably sculpt my own fiend variant in all its sleek 10 breasted "Slave to Darkness" glory.

I have no idea what I'll use them as though, fleshhounds? fiends?

Sersi's Slaaneshi Themed Daemon Army

deadly chicken — GMT

you could make some rules for them and use them in apocalypse

Sersi's Slaaneshi Themed Daemon Army

gameandwatch — GMT

Hmmm, I dunno meng, depends on the final size you choose for them... The way their back legs are hinged and set, I see more "flesh hounds" in them more than anything, but flesh hounds are fiends of Khorne so I think the point is moot. If you want them, make them, play test them as both, and then decide on them. THats the beauty of "counts-as", they are whatever you say they are

And a few pics of her head as it is currently. The upper lip looks that way because thats actually her upper teeth. When dry the lips will partially cover it. The expression I'm going for is exstacy/agony, some there somewhat of a grimace in their as well. The eyes will be closed.

Hey sersi, so with the face, coming from an art backround(8 years of school and all, HS + College) I can maybe give you a few tips on face sculpting on such a small scale.

First, if you want the face to appear female, you must really underplay the jaw, also remember that the bottom jaw is on a hinge, a few things to keep in mind. Second, try to make the brow ridge as subtle as possible, its very easy to make a face look male with a slightly pronounced brow ridge.

just a few ideas, other than that keep it up man, your on a role!!

[b]Yet more progress:[/b]

Okay the face/head is much further along now. I'm still resolving the features such as the eyes, nose, and mouth. At this point I'm switching using solely a generic skull for reference and I'm working toward a specific person's face as reference.

The size of the head looks to be correct now, as you can see I had to add material to fill out the back of the skull. Its a common error most people make when either drawing or sculpting the head.

I ahve been looking at this thread for a while. I think it is incredible what Sersi is doing. I am hoping to do something similar myself, but until then, I worship this person. I cannot wait for everything to be done.

[b]So I've been thinking...[/b]

So I was looking through my bits boxes today for some inspiration; and a piece of corrugated hose inspired this. Now the Idea here is in a manner similar to Alien Queen in Aliens, the daemon has a hose attached to her naughty bits that deposits her children/spawn behind the walker as it moves on blasting stuff.

[img]http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/10/8/57512_md-.jpg[/img]

My only fear is that the hose passing through her throne makes is look like a giant toilet! The hose would be attached to her lower body with metal hooks of course, to keep it real. The spawn would be a several of my converted grave ghouls....er...excuse me Painlings!

[b]Too much?[/b]

[b]A couple of other ideas:[/b]

1. How about making the fingers holding the belly longer and digging bloody rents into the flesh.
2. Someone suggested having engorged veins along the sides of the belly.

[b]Thoughts?[/b]

Actually I go with both 1 and 2 make it look more pregnant.. <_<;;
Apparently the miracle of giving birth is a wondrous thing to behold.. Either kill that right then and there with this model or enforce it either way it's all good.

Re:Sersi's Slaaneshi Themed Daemon Army

Ygds — GMT

Maybe instead of having the mechanical ovipositer (egg laying thingy) come from the front and hang to one side or divide and hang over both sides. Or could reach over the shoulder and drop down? This is all coming from an amateur, but it does not look like a toilet by the way. The other two ideas are fantastic as well, the more disgusting the better. Also who cares if it does look like a toilet, though it would be nurgly to poop the painlings out, it could be a demonstration of feco-fetish (which is absolutely revolting in my opinion) which is definitely Slaanesh. But maybe you want to keep somewhat family friendly... wait what am I saying, Slaanesh is like a watchful parents nightmare. Go ahead traumatize your opponents.

Sersi's Slaaneshi Themed Daemon Army

gameandwatch — GMT

I honestly feel the hose may be too much, Though definetly an interesting concept, I almost feel that it would be near impossible to not look at it as some sort of toilet, and in that sense feels very nurgly!! I also concour with the two ideas you gave about the digging fingers and veins, which would also push more focus to the belly cannon which is the focal point of the piece.

Think of it like this: " The Cadian gaurdsman had been holding the garrison now for 3 days, with no end to the battle in sight. That is practically normality on Cadia; being the first bastion outside the great eye has its downsides. But, at the dawn of the next day something hit us we had never seen before. A faint ethereal 'sigh' that could be heard by all proceeded what many of my fellow gaurdsman thought to be angels, angels coming to save us once and for all. But these were no angels... The deception had worked, half of the front line was whipped out by lightning fast talons before we even knew what was happening. Our commisar executed a fleeing coward nearby to rally us for a counter attack, but then, just as we had rallied and began our assault, a monstrous form flashed into view. Through the smoke all we could see was some sort of enemy walker, but what we heard... It sounded like a pregnant woman being ripped apart by her unborn, and enjoying it at the same time! Horrified by what we had heard, half the platoon was annihilated in an instant by what I can only describe as a contraction from the horrid mechanation, and then it came into view. My emporer, we can't fight this..." Last words written by the coward traitor Valerez before summary execution by his commanding commisar.

Re:Sersi's Slaaneshi Themed Daemon Army

Morgrim — GMT

The fingers clawing into the skin sounds good. Clawing at oneself in pain and ecstasy is probable and fitting.

The veins? Eh, not so much. I'm not sure they would add anything to the model, just distract from the interesting parts. Going by your other figures, there will be more than enough detail as it is, a smooth expanse of belly flesh would compliment the more intricate sections.

Oh this thread... I love it! And I love your creativity adn skills Sersi.

Don't fear the vagina, revel in the act of creation. Have the motherfigure lying back in pleasure on a dias to give birth to her young ones right into the face of her enemies. Let her vulva tell them "Chaos is constantly reborn, behold my act of creation that is at the same time the source of your destruction".

In our western society there is very often a deep gulf between the two female archetypes "the mother" and "the whore". I think that this model has the potential to bridge that gap/break that (miss)conception, and by that cause huge amounts of discord on a very personal level among lots of gamers by forcing them to remember that they once had a vulva around their throats. All in all, a very slaneesh thing to do.

This new "tube" idea seems as though it might steal focus from the front of the creature to its back.

The idea of a daemon engine birthing daemons (as cool and twisted as it sounds) doesn't really fit the concept of Soul Grinder, it seems to me.

Since it's a Grinder, it seems to me the thing needs to convey the idea of a maw cannon -- something I thought your original design concept got across really effectively. (I'm thinking here of the drawing depitcting the creature cradling her belly; that belly protruding a stubby, mechanical-looking aperture that suggested either a cannon barrel or a door-lock or a weird portal of some kind.)

Just my two bitz. Whatever direction you decide to take, I know we're in good hands (and by that, I mean the hands of an utterly demented genius surgeon.)

Re:Sersi's Slaaneshi Themed Daemon Army

Sersi — GMT

Well the consensus is that the toilet demon laying chair was too much and in the wrong direction. After reading all the reasons why I can only agree. So I'm moving away from the birthing chair idea and going with something more along the lines of Slaaneshi-stylized Buddha.

It seems that most everyone liked the hands digging into the belly and to some degree the incorporation of pulsing veins on the belly. To a certain extent I think that and the fact that "OMG its a pregnant daemon!" factor might be enough to carry the model. I'm also thinking about returning her to the original reclining position, as well.

Not too sure about the horns...

Sersi's Slaaneshi Themed Daemon Army

That head is hideous (in a good way) .

I'd say give her a really long tongue so that it looks like she might be able to lick herself in... places, maybe have it with a row of studs all the way down or something. Those horns look cool. For lips, whichever is easiest really - the sculpt looks great, and if I were you I'd be worried about lips messing it up. As for the eyebrows, I think painting them on would probably be the best idea.

I think leaving the lower jaw is fine. The transition from lower lip to jaw seems a touch off. If you go the tongue route, I'd make it forked, leave one side of the mouth and maybe curve around the cheekbone and around the eyebrow.

OK, the tounge should be long with the stud idea, the lips thin, the eyebrows subtly sculpted on and the horns aren't necessary, but whatever you want you keep.

Sersi's Slaaneshi Themed Daemon Army

CadianXV — GMT

You've got a strong diagonal movement going with the models leaning back position. For me the horns currently look stuck on as an afterthought. Now if the horns were rotated 90degrees and straightened out a little, it would complement the overall model far more.

I'm just nit-picking here; it's still a brilliant model, and you are truly talented!

Hope that helps.

i dont likethe idea of baldy horn headd. i think the grinder would be better if it had really long hair flowing ddown behind it. also, i agree about the long tongue, but hav it hangin down between her (searches for appropriate word) breasts and hangs down onto her stomach

Re:Sersi's Slaaneshi Themed Daemon Army

Empchild — GMT

the hanging tongue would be awsome especially if it were holding open part of her stomach or something. I would personally go withno more then 3 piercings. Otherwise it almost feels over the top. What could also be ool though maybe a little much would be to have a demonetter crawling over her side to hold open the other stonach liner for the cannon to come out.

Sersi's Slaaneshi Themed Daemon Army

walker90234 — GMT

ooh yeah i can see it now:
"the hulking monstrosity loomed out of the darkness, its dark eyes glinting in a foul mix of pain and exstasy. the pregnant demon-mother lay, fused to a bed oof metal legs and talons. its hair swayed as it rolled its head from side to side, its loling tounge running down its chest. it held its swollen belly between its hands as it screamed out its pleasure. a huge cut ran its way down her belly, slashing it open to reveal a barbed metal contraption that oozed a clear liquid that dripped down onto the ground behind it. the huge rent was held open to reveal the cannon by two lengths of wire, held by a demonette atendant, and by the demons tongue."

Basically, for the things belly cannon, have the slashed skin of her belly stretched to either side, one side held by a demonnette atendant, and have the other pulled back by the creatures mega long tongue. out of this slash should protrude the maw (or belly?) cannon, either mechanical, or organic.

That voice tells you the truth. It is the only thing you need to listen to, they will tell you everything you need to know. Everyone else is lying to you.

Chastity isn't quite the first and foremost command of slaanesh, but using the chastity belt as a seducing tool is right up his/her alley (no pun intended). Compare to how nuns can be a powerful fetish, we always wants whats hard to get. Make a big padlock or keyhole clearly visible and have a daemonette attendant carry the golden key on a red satin pillow, offering it to the bravest of the heroes facing her. The belt also carries with it a lower risk of getting banned from any gaming club that minors frequent :-)

Update time.

So, I've made some revisions on the Pregnant Soul Grinder who's working name is now "Carna", after the roman goddess of flesh, from whose name the word carnal; as in "carnal knowledge" was derived. Until of unless someone thinks up a better one for me.

[u][b]Changes:[/b][/u]

- decided to go with a short tongue in the mouth as it looked best.
- cut off and re-sculpted a smaller chin and re-sculpted the teeth.
- changed the pose of the praying hand to simply having the fingers interlaced.

[u][b]Likely Changes:[/b][/u]

- for the horns I'm going with some very small subtle horns.
- long hair tied to a ring on the dais, to restrain the movement of her head.
- the supporting hands will be shackled to the dais.
- subtle veining on the abdomen.
- claw marks from the hands holding the abdomen.

[u][b]I need feedback on:[/b][/u]

- inspired by the "6" wings of Seraphim, she will now have 3 pairs of wings to tie her into the them of the other models.
- idea for the dais that she resting on. Its the only thing holding me up now.

hrmmm truthfully since your going with a fall of the eldar type style with this you could have her resting at the edge of a bed with demonettes laying in each others embrace behind her.

I honestly think that this model should be as close to her original form as possible, maybe sculpt on a helmet like your avatar(I like that idea!) and the wings really feel like they should be part of her throne, not actually a part of her. Just an idea...

Wehrkind — GMT

Jebus that looks good! The only things I might add are small fangs or enlongated canines, and then perhaps a tiara with tentacle hair.

Also, I am not sure that I dig the wings. I think they take away from the more terrestrial nature of the model, with its spider legs and many arms and such. 6 limbs, 6 robot legs and 6 wings... just seems like it is gilding the lily a bit for no thematic gain. (Angels don't have multiple arms etc.) I might be completely wrong, but they just look really out of place to me.

Just spent some time reading this blog, and I must say, I love it! (sort of hard to read at work though!)

Here is an idea for the prego-grinder. You do not currently have the typical Slanneshi crab claws on the model.

Suggestion is to change the hands holding the belly to small, delicate versions of these claws, and have them pinching the flesh of the belly. I think that will add in the crab claw look in a way that also adds to the... flavor of the model.

Keep up the good work, and appreciate your posting this!

Wings are win.

I agree with the small, subtle horns. Your model is daemonic enough, i dont think you need to worry about people thinking she aint that evil.

Maybe have talons/nails on each hand 'piercing' but not pulling at the skin...

Gold all round tho.

What about doing ridged horns that are flat against her head? Could even form kind of a natural circlet. They'd be textured like the ones from the bloodletter on the right in this photo: http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/warhammer40k/images/2/20/Bloodletter.gif

Well the wing idea seems to have gone over like a lead balloon. Hmmm...Maybe this image will sell you on them. Or not...

[img]http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/10/15/58590_md-.jpg[/img]

Not my work by the way, but cool none the less. Also pretty similar to what I'm trying to do here, well except for her having an alligator for her crotch!

I'll shelve the wing Idea for now, though. The following is in the cards for today.

[u][b]Carna:[/b][/u]

1. some sort of crown or tiara.
2. small subtle horns.
3. normal hair hanging down to the dais.
4. shackles on the supporting hands and feet

[b]Spiderwalker:[/b][u]

1. a cushion dais with lounging daemonettes sounds interesting.
2. the legs are looking pretty plain, I will probably scribe in some details to break up the surface.

Anybody still like the idea of it being a corrupted Eldar Farseer? Or is her just being a daemon bad/good enough?

[b]Oh I also started on a na alternate head for the Male KOS. Similar to this:[/b]

Alright I can definetely grasp the idea with the wings more with that image. I would think it would be more interesting to grasp it as a corrupted farseer. The Idea of a super psycher turned demon weapon is just too good to pass up in my eyes. As well, I think her headress or scribes on her body when painted maybe the way to determine that shee was a farseer. Possibly look at some farseer helmets and get some ideas from there, runes are always a good indication too.

Sersi's Slaaneshi Themed Daemon Army

Wehrkind — GMT

Ok, that picture helps, but only to cement why I dislike the wings.

In the drawing, the ... let's say "Prego Daemon" (PD) is largely upright, sort of sitting straight up. This allows the wings to stretch back behind it. Your PD, however, is reclining very far, with her back only a few degrees off horizontal. This crams the wings into a smaller area, which makes that area very busy it seems. It also makes it look rather awkward and uncomfortable. Not so much in the "Pregnant daemon with a gun through her belly" kind of uncomfortable, but more of the "no one with wings wound lie in that sort of position" sort of way. Kind of like how the only time you see a bird lying on it's back is after it has flown into a window...

I could agree with seeing the wings mutilated in some way and chaining her to the conveyance though. Possibly cooler would be to have 6 ragged scars where her wings were ripped off, with hooked chains sunk into the flesh and holding her down to the spider walker thing. Sort of like her reclining is forced by chains pulling on hooks through her flesh, as opposed to her own doing. If you have ever seen those people with so many piercings they can suspend themselves from the ceiling with them, that sort of conveys the idea.

to bad she doesnt have a hand holding up like that. you could have a globe in it and when it's painted have it be a craftword or something. Definately think a corrupted farseer would be awsome and fit well into the them. If you dont want to sculpt that as much it could show out better in the painting of it with very light eldar tattos covered almost over by heavier set bleeding Slaanesh tattos.. BTW SERSI had you painted even one of them... IM DIEING TO SEE IT!!!!!!!!!!just one will make my day

I [u]Like[/u] the wings. She reminds me of an Ophanim. One of Ezekiel's Cheribum. It's a very emotive piece that seems to be in motion without moving. It also somehow manages to not seem too "busy" which is the failing of many GW sculpts. I look forward to seeing her development into a true dark mother.

Honestly I don't see why people are commenting on it like it should be a corruption of something else. I think its something onto its own right. My Emperor's Children would be honored to be torn apart in its loving embrace.

I'm going with the Eldar Farseer idea. It will tie in nicely with the "Eldar Fall" themed basing. One idea I had was having a cracked soul stone fused to her sternum. I'm thinking her throne should be constructed of corrupted Wraithbone.

[size=9]Automatically Appended Next Post:[/size]
[b]So, today's ideas:[/b]

I'm thinking of sculpting a raised Slaanesh symbol around the inset barrel of the maw cannon; like so:

[img]http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/10/17/58945_md-.JPG[/img]

Here's a better picture of the symbol.

[img]http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/10/16/58838_md-.jpg[/img]

[b]So, I've decided to go with corrupted Farseer concept. Which lead me to a few ideas, and questions:[/b]

1. She'll have a corrupted soul stone fused to her sternum.
2. The walker will be festooned with captured soul stones that will be use to power the walker, in a complete perversion of Eldar technology.
3. I intend to paint her with Eldar symbols that have been slashed or defaced with scars of brands.

What else would work to sell the model as a Farseer?

[b]Basing:[/b]

I plan on using the fall of Eldar as the theme for my basing: ie shattered statues, symbols inlaid into marble floors, and collapsed wraith bone structures. I'm thinking the plaster would be the most realistic way to create the originals; although I would most likely cast them in resin later for strength at the very least. So I've been making little styrene stamps to press eldar-ish symbols into wet plaster that I'll texture. When its dry I'll break the sheet up into tiles for the marble bases.

Does anyone have a reference image for what an infinity gate or world spirit are supposed to look like?

Ok, well I believe a few things will sell the farseer idea, a helmet that looks like a farseer helmet if you give her one, or runes of sometype possibly even some kind of rune armor, or former rune armor.

As far as the infinity gates go, Idk if you ever played dawn of war, dark crusade, but taking the eldar capitol you capture infinity gates, or webway gates. just search "eldar webway gates" and you should find a pic.

Sersi, this is an awesome blog to read through, dude. I'm really looking forwards to the finished article.

With regards the Necromunda gang Commodore Perry mentioned, I suspect he may well mean the Goliaths, though finding decent pictures is proving trickier than I thought. I'd lean more towards the original release figures rather than the second attempt GW did a few years back, though - they look more like middle-aged punk fans.

[b]Hi All! I nearly done with the big KOS...tonight for sure...maybe....[/b]

[b]Anyway here's some progress:[/b]

Full body stuff first.

For the last two days I've been smoothing the model and correcting minor defects in the surface. As well as correcting some basic anatomy and silhouette issues. That's all pretty much done now, and while not all that noticeable in the pictures to follow they would be really obvious if it was sitting on your desk. I still have to clean up the head, but I been focused on getting the teeth and tongue in place for that part.

[img]http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/10/21/59428_md-.JPG[/img]

[b]Parts Breakdown:[/b]

Here's the model broken down into its components, for easy casting. So, you got: the main body, 2x arms, 2x clawed arms, head, and tongue. Their will also be a separate piece for the loincloth. Other parts that I haven't decided on yet may include: a cod piece, second head, alternate hands, and sword.

[img]http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/10/21/59426_md-.JPG[/img]

[b]Head Close Ups:[/b]

Two thing to note here: one the tongue is a completely separate piece, want to GS as longer one, no problem. Second the teeth are metal, clipped stick pins actually. I'm not sure how well they'll cast yet, but we'll see how it goes.

Well that's it for today. I've been trying to keep this model far enough away from GW IP as possible while trying to keep the feel of the original art. Let me know how I'm doing? I say remove the crab claws and he's pretty generic looking.

[b]Questions:[/b]

Not really that useful in 40k, but useful in War hammer Fantasy. Anyway I already decided to not use that abomination that comes in the Daemonette box.

With the male KOS, the claws don't need teeth, but they need something else. As for the preg-grinder, it would look nice with the symbol, but don't follow that head too much as it looks Japanese (not being rascist) and could result in problems like people being offended.

A small update for you, some very WIP Gorgons "Counts as Horrors". I'm doing 12 - 24 of these.

I was originally going to do snake hair or large dreadlocks like the FW KOS. I still may, but its so easy to just use these heads. think glowing hands and eyes with perhaps some sculpted flames in a couple of hands will sell the concept.

do snake hair for th champion, and maybe one or two snakes just popping out of the others (add snake faces to the ends of a few strands) and paint them so, but dont completley remodel the hair o allof em and i think ur set. maybe make three seperated types of snake head and just cast it?

[size=9]Automatically Appended Next Post:[/size]
also, i think it would be a great idea to cast nd sell th KOS count as. i would make it a little bit more like the pic from GW to make it recognisable coz i dont thik it would breach copywrite. about the flute, what do you mean by innuendo connotations?

I don't think it would be a good idea to go any closer to the GW design. Who wants to get a C&D from GW's corporate lawyers? As far as the "innuendo" goes. I can think of two contexts. "This one time at band camp..." and the more obvious skin flute context.

Actually, the first thing I thought when I saw those girls was "Jazz Hands!" You need the daemon instrument to be a saxaphone, or a clarinette.

Other than the fact they look like drunken broadway girls/guys, which may be the intent, they look pretty decent. Just not sure about the hands...

Anywho here's an update. Lots of stuff going on here.

[b]Pregnant Soulgrinder:[/b]

Only a little progress on the Pregnant grinder. As I ran into difficulties, with the original walker concept. The freaking walker was to freaking big.

[img]http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/10/19/59236_md-Daemons%2C%20Sculpting%2C%20Slaanesh%2C%20Soul%20Grinder.jpg[/img]

I some how forgot that just the pregnant Farseer model was already the size of the GW grinder! Duh! So, the throne/walker/birthing-chair has to fit within the the dimension of the existing model.

[img]http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/10/7/57308_md-Daemons%2C%20Slaanesh%2C%20Slaaneshi%2C%20Soul%20Grinder%2C%20Soulgrinde.jpg[/img]

So, here's what I've come up with so far:

[img]http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/11/2/61891_md-.JPG[/img]

Just drilled out the belly gun. I've also don a lot of clean up, detailing and sanding.

[img]http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/11/2/61895_md-.JPG[/img]

After researching some how shall we say less than wholesome sites. I decided to go with a having the main arms suspended in mid-air by a shackle-bar restraint. I leave the hands as they are because they would be under tension and spasmodic anyway, so it kind fits.

Have you thought about throwing some shattered GS Farseer armor/robes onto the Soul Grinder? It could be fused to her skin or something, like CSM armor.

Another idea I was tossing around was making her head still encased in the helmet, but the helmet sort of became part of her head and had split apart to make a sort of mouth or something, but seeing how much progress you've made it might be too late for something like that.

I really like all of your custom models, they're fantastic.

Yes, the Tormentors / Painlings count as Plaguebearers. They'll be converted quite a bit I've on corrected their worst birth defects so far. Now they can walk upright. Plaguebearers won't work with my vision for them. There supposed to be evil imps/munchkin/umpalupa type things. I want them puny and un-impressive. A Guardsman should laugh them off until one shrugs off a dozen lasgun shots.

They will definietly be getting: piercings, whips, chains, shackles, and other implements of torture to use on their victums.

I'll say, people are polarized by it they either hate it or love it, no in between really. But the majority seem to love it! Good summary of the concept by the way. Its about as Slaaneshi I can imagine.

[quote]cadian512:

I think this bit from Gameandwatch sums up the concept pretty well.

" The Cadian gaurdsman had been holding the garrison now for 3 days, with no end to the battle in sight. That is practically normality on Cadia; being the first bastion outside the great eye has its downsides. But, at the dawn of the next day something hit us we had never seen before. A faint ethereal 'sigh' that could be heard by all proceeded what many of my fellow gaurdsman thought to be angels, angels coming to save us once and for all. But these were no angels... The deception had worked, half of the front line was whipped out by lightning fast talons before we even knew what was happening. Our commisar executed a fleeing coward nearby to rally us for a counter attack, but then, just as we had rallied and began our assault, a monstrous form flashed into view. Through the smoke all we could see was some sort of enemy walker, but what we heard... It sounded like a pregnant woman being ripped apart by her unborn, and enjoying it at the same time! Horrified by what we had heard, half the platoon was annihilated in an instant by what I can only describe as a contraction from the horrid mechanation, and then it came into view. My Emperor, we can't fight this..." Last words written by the coward and traitor Valerez before summary execution by his commanding commisar.

Well that and...because I could!

[b]Keeper of Secrets:[/b]

This guy is done except for some minor work on the clavicles and scapula's to get those looking more anatomically correct.

[u]Changes:[/u]

1. I lengthened the left leg and altered to pose slightly to correct the proportions.
2. He's got a loincloth now, is fully removable (man I love Aves Sculpt).
3. There's a Slaanesh button on the loincloth that I just press molded off the WF Slaanesh champions banner pole.
4. Yes, there is a nasty crack in the right leg, that needs to be filled.
5. He has re-sculpted neck anatomy.
6. Constructed a new scimitar like sword of styrene and Aves sculpt.
7. Re-sculpted the hand to hold the sword.

The whole model will breakdown into the following parts: Head, torso & legs, clawed arms, arms, sword, tounge, loincloth, icon of Slaanesh.

And now without further ado the nearly, almost finished, 99.99% done Keeper of Secrets:

I'll be finishing up a few issure with the Keeper tonight, but I probably won't get around to molding him until next week, I've got to order some more silicon rubber. The stuff I got right now is the expense transparent kind, great for minis when your cutting open the mold. But the Keepers a big model so I wouldn't want to do a cut mold on it, as it'd waste allot of expensive material. So, I'll have to make a matrix mold. Which, time consuming and requires the mixing plaster and silicon, along with building a complicated a clay bed and mold box, and takes at mnimum two days. Definitely not for the sqimish. Since, I'm planning it now I might as well make a tutorial out of the process.

But, to answer your question about a week or so.

I love the 3rd demonette on the right of the last batch. The pose, with one hand up and skipping along almost seems like a sadistic and malicious 'well [i]hellooo[/i] there. I've spotted you. We're going to have [i]fun[/i]' sort of vibe.

I'm speechless. To see all the big ones lined up like that. So fluid, organic, living they look. I'd be terrified by facing this army on the battlefield. They are so beautiful, I am so ugly, how can they not crush me?

Duude. EPIC!!!! Long time lurker of this thread, first-time poster (i think, might have done 1 already but who cares!).

I've just got to say how much i admire your work, the concepts are amazing and, unlike so many projects similar to this, you have the skills to do the concepts justice. Bravo! This is why i didn't do a slaanesh section for my Chaos Daemons, GWs concepts are average at best and i don't have the time or effort required to make slaanesh daemons look good. Clearly you do. I would probably be interested were you to sell casts of the KoS and/or the daemonettes.

Fantastic,

Sersi, so I got my army done to where it was playable at 4am the day of the tourny hahaha, everybody loved the suits and I had crouds of people around them all the time! Won best army, sportsman and took 2nd overall!!

Okay, so I'm trying to get the pregger's done tonight, and needed to get the legs for the throne done. I was going to go with mechanical looking styrene legs...until I realized that the legs on the other grinder were just the right size.

[img]http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/11/8/63067_md-.JPG[/img]

Sometimes in the course of making something cool, sacrifices must be made... So, reluctantly took out my dremel and chopped my six-legged grinder up for spare parts.

Now, don't feel to bad as she just wasn't working out: to symmetrical, to static, to boring, not sexy enough. Exhibit A:

Anyway here's the idea I'm going with now:

I'm thinking of making the chain legs mechanical, say like hedonism bot from Futurama. Someone suggested it before, but I don't recall who. Comments and suggestions are as always welcome.

I think that the current model is more slaaneshy atm.

I also think that the new models are awesome!

Re:Sersi's Slaaneshi Themed Daemon Army

mechanical would be much easier on the overall and would convey the machine aspect of it, but I think what you have there is a solid work piece too.

Now, on the painting. I did actually start but then I kidnapped by some friends and dragged to the bar...against my will...okay against my wifes will. However, I will be painting tonight come hell or high water.

See you guys have me all confused, one says their to small another say their to big... All I can say is that the legs do in fact support her off the tabletop.

Re:Sersi's Slaaneshi Themed Daemon Army

lasgunpacker — GMT

I like the new legs for the preggo's throne, however I think they are lacking something. Something which would make them more 40k. That something is stiletto heels.

Looking forward to seeing some painted figures as well.

I'm not dead...I'm just buried in work at the moment. I suppose I shouldn't complain since so many are out of work, especially in my industry. But the Man's squeezing us hard to make up for being under staffed. I just haven't had time to take pictures of my progress. But I've press-ganged the wife into helping out. So pic this weekend.

Incredible on all accounts!

I do have a bit of beef with the anatomical legs replacing the mechanical ones for the prego-walker... i think it is just too much skin. In other words I am not a fan of the change from mechanical chair to ballerina chair.

But who am I to doubt?! everything you have done to date has been spot on. I have faith in your artistic vision

I found this thread today and I have to say I'm glad that I took so long to find it as I didn't have to wait to see new updates on your progress. I was glued to this thread for 4 hours! Your work is absolutely amazing, my favorites are the male KoS and the Pregger Grinder.

I agree with some of the posters that the Pregger Grinder has too much skin. Having the legs mech/biomech would be much better IMO. In your previous posts you mentioned adding crab claws to some of the legs, this would also help the model a great deal. Perhaps just the 2 front legs as claws instead.

I love the Demon Princesses, incredibly dynamic flowing poses but I can tell you've been holding off on doing all of their faces. gameandwatch has given you some great advice for more feminine features. The faces need to look a bit more demonic. You work miracles using a point of reference so I say just find pictures of female faces you want to use and have at it!

This thread has been an amazing show of skill and a great tutorial to boot! I have to admit I'm not really a follower of Chaos and if I was I would pledge to Nurgle, but this thread has allured me. Please keep up the great work and happy holidays!

Well, I've spent the last couple hours reading through this, and I'm absolutely stunned, the models are beyond brilliant, and on that note, I'm glad you appear to have dropped the wings on the pregnant grinder, it looked a bit... wrong... if I'm honest.

Can't say I've read anything else in my life so intently than this blog You've said you're busy, so I'm just going to have to bookmark this thread and pop in every now and again, really looking forward to seeing this completed whenever you get yourself some time. I think I've finally found something to give me enough inspiration to really convert some things of my own. Always meant to, just never got round to it! So for that, I thank you.

Sersei, I've watched this thread non stop and your sculpts a increadible. I think it's great that you took the slaanesh theme from "naughty" to a more of a "Primal" female goddess theme to it. Your "birthing" soulgrinder remindes me of those ancient female idols of some ancient tribe. I think it's excellent work.
