A Touch of Excess - A Slaanesh Marine Blog *Update* Army Complete w/ Pics 05/02 @ 2009/03/09 01:26:30


Post by: studderingdave


figured i would catalog my progress with this little side project. im a deathguard player, i have over 5000 points of painted deathguard and i love them, but i need a change. i wanted to paint power armor again, but i cant play loyalist so i went back to the chaos codex and decided to go with something slaanesh. not trueblood emp. children, but slaanesh heavy for sure. here are some snaps of my first models. first up are 2 of my 6 obliterators. sadly they dont have any extravagent codpieces, but the guns are enough i think.

...

up next is my termie lord, standard lord with MoS and lightning claws, he was also my first foray with the GW washes, in which i am not ADDICTED TOO!

finally i give you my other chaoslord, notice the angel wings and the gigantic "blissgiver" growing out of his pelvic region. he is currently giving the bliss of slaanesh to a dark angel chamion.

...

...

...


bases are back to basix, from australia. they are dirt cheap, i paid 40 bucks for enough bases to do the entire 2000 point army. check out there site if you want. they are from Oz, but worth the wait.

i plan on updating at least once a week.

thanks

These are very nice, if a bit disturbing (as intended, I'm sure).

Where did you get those wings, and what are they made of (metal, or plastic)? I'm looking for some feathered wings about that size.

The painting and modeling is top notch, but I have to say that I don't like the fact that the winged lord has a Dark Angel on his base. It's just not going to look right when he's fighting non-DA armies.

Awesome colours. More bright and vibrant than a cyber-goth convention. Love the terminator lord. The winged lord is pure insanity at it's best. *Resists urge to make crude and infantile penis jokes.* I imagine he could even give a dreadnought a "penetrating hit" *Resistance failed*

Some very nice looking models here. The Chaos Lord must have been quite a job to ballance out so it wont tip over. However the Termie lord looks best from a painting and modelling point of view.

Bump for the Back-2-Base-ix bases. I've purchased from them several times, and their product is great.

Nice work on the painting - the bold pink ties them together adequately despite the rainbow of other colours. The winged lord's wings looks a little odd though.

Ha! Freaking amazing colors Studder, no doubt a blast to paint. I'm actually surprised at the lack of crotch-slung weapons on the oblits, given the obvious phallic reference of a lascannon (or two!) ...

But the champs with the power schlongs are giggle-worthy indeed. I like that the red guy is holding this tiny knife in his hand in addition to the impaler equipped below

Post by: studderingdave


the list in total is this:

Chaos lord, Termie Armor, LC's, MoS
Chaos Lord, Wings, Melta Bombs, MoS, Blissgiver

10 Noise Marines, All sonic blasters, Champ with PW and doom siren, icon
10 Noise Marines, All sonic blasters, Champ with PW and doom siren, icon
6 Noise Marines, Blastmaster, Champ with PW
6 Noise Marines, Blastmaster, Champ with PW

5 termies:
PW and Combi melta
PW and Combi Melta
Champ: Chainfist and Combi Melta
Champ: LC's
Champ: LC's

2 Obliterators
2 Obliterators
2 Obliterators

the DP is extra. the list was set for 2000 points, but i can bump it to 2500 now, make the termie lord just another termi in the squad, run the DP as the second HQ and add in some demons im converting up.

so for the gamesday 2000 point list i have the 5 termies and 20 sonic blaster noise marines to paint, and a month to do it in, which is a good chunk of time for me, with finals and stuff coming up it will be under the wire but i have a good chance of getting the sodomites ready fro war.

im priming the termies today, im waiting on sonicblasters to arrive some time next week.

IMO toss the power weapon champs on the blastmaster noise marines, and use it to buy more terminators, since you're going to need them to save your other units from "unwinnable" combats vs. dreadnoughts and such anyways.

GW washes plus vallejo paints. the whole army is an exercise in the use of the washes, which are the best thing that GW has released in a while. im painting a few dwarfs this week for a game on saturday, so the progress this week will be slow if any, but will definalty pick up again once i get my sonic blasters and these stunties are finished.

I think her horns and claws could have used a different color, but for an hour that's rocking stuff. Screaming purple is a good color for 100 points of T6 smashy value.

Yea, I agree with Salvage about the horns. Another color, perhaps a bone white with a Sepia or Red wash would be good.

All in all, a darn pretty (in that psychadelic, "I just licked Janice Joplin in a bad place" kind of way) army. I am going to have to make it over to the store and get a game in, just to get crushed by purple passion!

The cocksword is stupid. It's not funny, it's not creative, it's just plain stupid.

Bonus points I guess for the psychadelic colors and following Slaanesh fluff really closely, I personally wouldn't individualize them no matter how fluffy it is simply for the sake of other people's eyes and it doesn't really make them look like an "army" so much as a collection of random Marines, but when I see crap like the cocksword it just pisses me off. I know it's Slaanesh, but you don't have to be slowed.

But that's just my opinion.

Post by: Wehrkind


Heh, and here I was thinking that while the bright colors are fitting, they need to be MORE varied across each marine, perhaps in such a fashion that they tie the army (or units) together into a cacophonous whole.

While I might agree that the cock-sabre would make running difficult, I don't think they are as over the top for Slaanesh as others here.

But what do I know... wait...

sweet some constructive critisim. i actually toned down the cock swords, much to my dismay i cannot fit them on my sonic blaster champs for the larger squads. also the greater demon is already very busy, i figured the cock sword for the GD would be a bit much. in they end your opinion is your opinion, but im getting alot of good remarks both here and in person.

truthfully the cockswords get laughs, so its kinda funny, and i know its not THAT creative, but i think its pretty unique. sexual degridation is just one facet of slaanesh, but its the facet i chose to focus on. if i could get a good source of female minis that are produced by GW i would have went a different route.

the demons im wokring on now have no arms, just cockswords, no eyes either. their only purpose is to gift victims with the grace of slaanesh.

im also tempted to make a defiler, we all know what the battlecannon would be.

i respect your opinions greatly, i know its not going to please everyone, but honestlty and truthfully i raeally dont care. the majority gives me props, and helps me get motivated to finish the army.

I'll join those giving you props on both originality and on skill. The cockswords are hilarious, and the "blissgiver" one is actually pretty disturbing. The others are just funny.

And thanks for the inspiration on using washes. You've really made those models pop in a much quicker period than layering/blending could ever do. I'm off to test a few washes for me Eldar, then...

Personally I think you could express sexual degradation and everything else Slaanesh without doom dongs and horsecock battlecannons, but whatever. Clearly the army was meant to be a joke anyway and I'm just taking it too seriously I guess.

You can never go wrong there... Ahem... but back to modelling.

Great colours and some interesting conversions. I really like how you've gone all out with the painting.

I think though as others have said theres a line that we need to be careful of as modellers. Themed armies are great, but its a muddy area when a theme moves into self parody.

The blissgiver and the cockswords are huge, obnoxious and completely inappropriate! Yet another army that fits your personality. Keep up the good work.

Now look, I'm not an idiot. I understand the concept of a joke, I like Angry Marines and Cute Nids, and the entire 40k mythos is hard to take seriously, but stuff like this just harkens back to the days of high school when kids draw hairy cocks on everything. It's a crude, unimaginative "joke" and I find it hard to laugh at because it's more sad than it is funny.

"LAWL, PENIS! I GET IT, IT'S SLAANESH, HA HA HA!"

I don't doubt that it gets laughs, but how old are the people laughing? I'd honestly be a bit frightened if anyone older than 20 did anything but shake their head in disappointment. Try harder, that's all I ask. Any idiot can sculpt a cock out of GS and glue it to their defiler. It's not that I don't get the joke, I just don't think it's a very good one.

And that's not to say that I'm not immature, I laugh at stupid gak. I'm not pretending to be better than anyone, I just don't see the point in defacing expensive models like this. But they're not my models and it's not my money, so whatever.

Or maybe it is me, maybe I'm just too uptight. Maybe I should say "feth it" and join in the insanity. I'll buy a box of CSM this weekend and sculpt huge codpieces or three foot dangling dongs on every Marine, people will love it.

i enjoy sidstyler's insight. i know im not gonna please everyone, are you a lil uptight? prolly. does that bother me? not in the least.

my LGS is swamped by age 20+ gamers, i have a healthy gaming group of at least 20 gamers, most in their mid to late 20's, some alot older. now we did get a flock of early 20 guys recently, but so far the only person who is objecting here is sidstyler. the old guys laugh, the young guys laugh.

all in all im shocked im getting feedback at all, im not that good of a painter, and this was just an exercise in using the GW washes. but i thank everyone for their input eitherway.

Well it's not a bad-looking army at all, it's just not my thing I guess. The washes are pretty good, I haven't used them much myself but it seems people get good results with them.

I keep looking at these half expecting a tie-dyed shirt. The very pale, pastel colors of the washes over white really are saying "Gentle, 1st grade teacher sort of hippy." Which is really weird.

Sorry to thrust gaming concerns into your modeling, but are you putting squad markings on these bad boys? I am a little concerned that the units will be difficult to distinguish in a scrum.

lol, no unit markings, i was never bog on them. my deathguard dont have them, my orks certainly dont.

the only place i see this being a problem is the 2 large NM squads, which would prolly be deployed far enough from each other to matter.

update time, taking a break from the Khador to hammer out some noise marines. 2 down, 18 to go then 6 lesser demons and the army is ready for gamesday.


the first 5, 2 are done and based, the third just got a wash ready for highlights and a base, should have the first 5 done by the weekend. maybe i can get the army done for tabletop next weekend for some practice games. this weekend is a fantasy tourney, busting out the stunties ive been painting for the last 2 months.


2 first finished. the yellow/black guy doesnt do much for me, but i wanted to see what the scheme would look like, not wanting to change it he will be in the swuad none the less.


@Harbinger of Faith, here is where i paint all my stuff, this is after i cleaned it on monday

These models just made my night. Truly extraordinary. the only thing i have to say is that i have always been a fan of uniformed color scheme armies and a squad of all diffrent colored marines would get to me, but you pull it off nicely.
Also, a dark angle being slain by phallic-bliss giver was the coup de gras, in my opinion.

direct hit with washes. i dont water down my washes and usually only use 2-3 layers. i wetblend them, then add a few vallejo colors to add color contrast.

Dave, by "squad markings" I don't necessarily mean "a little triangle with a number on it". My little ghoulie mutants have their loincloths/excessive pubes all color coded by group, green, yellow or red. You can't even see it normally, but if you are uncertain they can be confirmed.
I think some little slaanesh symbols on a shoulder pad, purple for one unit, then maybe a blue symbol on the shins of another unit, would be a good idea, just to keep things clear. You never know when TFG will drive over to the store again and whine like a bitch about something so asinine. All those plastic models will be too light to put in a sock and kill him with, so you need a back up plan that does not involve a .45

I've got some suggestions that can challenge even pretty hardened modellers and gamers. Incorporate vibrating dildoes in your superheavies (bonus points for actually using them during the game). Hang the reserves from piercings in your nipples. Suspend yourself in hooks from the back of your body and hang above the table to get a better tactical view. When your opponent picks up one of your models tell him/her that you use your body fluids to paint them (wether it is true or not doesn't matter, the look on their face is priceless) And maybe the worst of all: Model proper female genitals, preferrably on more visual places than the groin.

I find it sort of sad that people can find the idea of sawing someone apart with a chainsaw-sword significantly worse if the chainsaw is stuck to your groin instead of held in your hand.

It's really odd that you got the black legion head with the noise dread, but I actually think he's cooler that way. The noise head is kinda meh for me, but who doesn't like skulls?!

Also, it's pretty damn awesome you're doing dueling warhounds. What color they getting, matching Legio Mortis?

Good luck with your finals man.

update time. i ran these boyz for the first time at 2250 points level yesterday, smacking around black templars 2 games in a row. they perform pretty well, a lil AT light despite the 6 oblits and 2 blastmasters and ML from the dred, but cant do much about it.


here is what i have left for the army, 9 possessed marines and 9 more noise marines and its all finished.


3 more noise marines getting washed


kitbashed sorcerer with wings, just decided to make it today


nothing to do with 40k, but i have been working on my restart of khador, this si my second caster, the Butcher of Khardov and one of my favorite jacks (behind drago) the Behemoth. in my standard white scheme with excessive battle wear.

Happy to see some possessed on the field, reminds me that I have 9 or so slaanesh ones of my own waiting for paint

Nice work traumatizing the templars, though I think it's kinda ridiculous that 6 oblits + 2 blastmasters + 1 missile launcher is AT lite! Maybe that shows how out of touch I am with 40k

for the record the above pic is 2 layers of the apprpriate wash over white primer.

first game with them at 2500 points (their max) was against the new guard, it was a hardfought game, but in the end the IG armor bested me. props to my opponent scott, he is the only long term guard player in out store, and used a very good, balanced list that didnt run any of the chaf i see alot of people running now (3+ vendetta, cherrypicked inq+2 mystics or any of that garbage)

here are pics ofthe army as promised, plus a few from the game:





sorry about the glass case, i didnt realize it until later that day







i learned alot about the army when i played them. the larger NM squads need some mobility to make up for the lack of resilency i am used to when playing plague marines. so im gonna give them rhinos i think eventually. the oblits are good, but i need to walk them more and DS them less, and focus their fire to make sure i destroy things. im gonna tweak the list a bit. the possessed drew alot of fire but also ate a vet squad and saved the rest of the army from template death for a round.
