CSM overhaul to DV standard

A little off topic but I find it bizarre that people are uncomfortable with breasts on models, but bloody chain-weapons, flayed skin, and trophy racks are fine.

Breasts are fine. Single breasts with a chest on the other side, or multiple layers of humanesque breasts on creatures otherwise inspired by eels and similar non-mammalian creatures, are unnerving. I get that's what GW was going for, but a lot of people don't like the aesthetic - which is why I have gone for a suggestion of my Slaaneshi daemons being vaguely human-shaped shadow beasts instead, to represent an indistinct true form.

For what it's worth, I also don't like overly-bloody weapons (Clean it if you don't want it to blunt or jam!), flayed skin or stacked trophy racks. That is purely an aesthetic call, though.

A dreadknight that doesn't look like a walking baby carriage.

A tyranid transport (not the Tervigon, something tyranids can get in, as well as climb out)

Some other Slaanesh units. Most of em are just androgenous grey people with boobs or creepy monsters/horses....with boobs. Seriously. Just take away the creepy boobs, and it'd be fine. Something about the Fiend with 6 nipples just grosses me out and makes me not want to play them.

If it helps, the Daemonettes have only one breast each, and the Seekers' steeds have a single line of breasts going down the belly, which I didn't notice until I was painting one.

I prefer the old daemonettes, the ones that looked more like actually attractive harpy monsters then...whatever the current ones are supposed to be. Slaanesh and its daemons are supposed to seduce virtually everything and represent utter perfection.... yet they really don't give off that vibe anymore. If your knee-jerk reaction to a Succubi is to run anyway, that Succubi is not doing its job right.



These balanced the line carefully in the uncanny valley. The new ones though just go right veering off into the weird world of squick. Right now wood elves or third party models make better daemonettes then the current horde.

I actually have a pretty decent list of units that I would like to see get an update.

-Plastic Sisters of Battle (Complete overhaul, Penitent Engines, Sisters Repentia, Exorcists, the works [they really need it]).
-Some female guard would be nifty, adding more diversity to the Imperial Guard army. Even if they are shoehorned into being like medics or pilots for ships.
-New Keeper of Secrets/Changer of Ways.
-I would love to see some different daemonettes, I was a huge fans of the ones that were more risque. They are pleasure daemons after all! :/
-More specialized CSM units (I.e. thousand sons/world eaters/Lords of Decay/Emperors children tanks and weapons and the like).
-Revival of the squats (EVERYONE LIKED THE SQUATS).
-Little additional addons for units such as like maybe runic seals variants of weapons, things to make an army feel more personalized.
-Better Flayed Ones for Necrons and maybe a Flayed One Overlord. .
-Officio assassinorum look a little derpy still...
-More squig models!

Basically me just wish listing at this point, but I can dream!
