I think you're supposed to put it back on your desk on it's scenic base you carved from children's hollowed skulls and go and check on the girl you're holding captive whilst waiting for her skin to be lotioned enough to make a dress out of it, you argue with her and then go and have a little dance with your crown jewels tucked between your legs.
It's a very well done sculpt. Not to my tastes though.
I saw this, this morning before I was able to read the NSFW.
Interesting sculpt, and I agree about the female sculpts as chaos/DE usable, but holy cow the acutal model is quite disturbing.
It is one of those things that you look and and don't want to again, but can't tear your eyes from.
Shudder...
Upon closer inspection, while it does have a certain obvious Shub Niggurath quality, it could easily be an aspect of Yog Sothoth as well.
The whole "Key and the Gate" thing fits well with this model too.
"It was an All-in-One and One-in-All of limitless being and self — not merely a thing of one Space-Time continuum, but allied to the ultimate animating essence of existence's whole unbounded sweep — the last, utter sweep which has no confines and which outreaches fancy and mathematics alike. It was perhaps that which certain secret cults of earth have whispered of as YOG-SOTHOTH, and which has been a deity under other names; that which the crustaceans of Yuggoth worship as the Beyond-One, and which the vaporous brains of the spiral nebulae know by an untranslatable Sign..."
Not very Dunwich Horror, but it could be that what the albino Lavinia Whately encountered in order to give birth to her two sons conceived by Yog Sothoth.
Its a very obviously lovecraftian horror with hints of geiger aesthetics. Part of that madness has been given a form to view and is faithful to its inspiration.
I like it. Really fething scary, the stuff of nightmares. I mean, I wouldn't buy it because I really have no use for it (I don't play Chaos, and even if I did, I really don't like painting large models), but it's damned good for what it is.
Now, excuse me while I change my pants, I seem to have soiled them in my terror.
Reminds me of the Brood Mother thing in Dragon Age: Origins.

Looking at their web store, these are supposed to be for a game that isn't even out yet, but they've already stopped selling the first two miniatures. What the hell?

Where as it is disturbing, I think the naked women around it are what make it something you wouldn't want sitting out in your house. its' just a weird she-deamon thing without them. Once you have the naked women around it, in compromising positions, it starts to take on a different meaning to me. It just looks like a big thing that goes around stealing and breat feeding babies, but with the girls in there, I honestly don't have a clue as to what the is going on there.
As much as I think it's an amazing sculpt, I agree with everyone else. I'd be honestly embarrassed to be caught owning this model. Then again, I'm prude enough to file off all the nipples from my Infinity models.
I'm not liking the creative decision to put a plethora of dangling breasts all over. Take those off and replace the penis-tail with something else and it may be more marketable.
I love the baby-face and the disturbing textures.
For those saying this is Slaaneshi, this is NOT Slaaneshi. Everything with nudity is not Slaaneshi.
I also find it ironic that some people are saying the model is somewhat inappropriate, and then they think the nude, pregnant women would make great Dark Eldar slaves.
...wat?
Hello,
Well as a slaanesh player, I am rather intrigued by this, as it shows the adrogney (sp), that he/she/it is known for. From a usability standpoint, well there it becomes problematic. Might make a really nifty spawn model, or even a really scary greater unclean one (nothing healthy is going on there), as a new transmission method (read carriers) for his bountiful plagues. The child suckling at the teat of this model could very well be a nurgling, acting as they always do. As for the LGS, I do get alot of freedom to paint what I want, however, this one might be regarded as beyond acceptable. It is a wonderful sculpt, as many of thier minis are, but that may not redeem its value in the eyes of of the non-gaming masses.
No, spraying three colors on your minis does not count as painted! 5k+
I see Lovecraft and Dragon Age inspiring alot of this. I feel it is a beautiful model. The baby being fed is the most disturbing thing for me.
As for using the anatomically correct women for Vect/Slaanesh/wet dreams...two are major pregnant so I would actually find that more disturbing than this model set itself.
I love it. I would paint it. And I would show it to those who would understand the inspiration enough to appreciate it. Considering all the Slaanesh 6 breasted deamons that are out there, I honestly thought that the prudish comments would have been less than they are. It is a model that draws from numerous subjects for its inspiration, and while it is rather disturbing in many ways, I feel that it is the subject itself that should be found disturbing to most. Not the actual model.
The Orks are the pinnacle of creation. For them, the great struggle is won. They have evolved a society which knows no stress or angst. Who are we to judge them? We Eldar who have failed, or the Humans, on the road to ruin in their turn? And why? Because we sought answers to questions that an Ork wouldn't even bother to ask! We see a culture that is strong and despise it as crude.
Man, I wish there was a real Black Library where I could get a Black Library Card and take out Black Library Books without having to buy them. Of course, late fees would be your soul. But it would be worth it. - InquisitorMack
Just thought I'd chime in and clarify on something:
The Wet Nurse does not birth anything, nor does it impregnate women. It's function is solely to raise the young. The large sack in the front is a milk sack, that is drained from other women.
Thank you for amazing comments. I will admit that Berserk and Lovecraft are huge influences of mine.
I also totally understand if its not your cup of tea.
In all honesty? To drain miscarriages as nutrients.
Good lord.
Alrighty then lol.
Honestly though, it's a very dynamic and interesting model, and it looks brilliantly cast as well. I won't be purchasing it, but, honestly an amazing piece!
Nope no story posted as of yet. I have a series of illustrations being worked on, that visually tell the story of the holy lands and the birth of a baby leading up to its solitary and almost mechanical place in the bizarre area.
It's like H R Giger, except a bit more blatant and a bit less eerie.
