Hey dakkanauts

So... I can't stand the model for daemons "Fiends of Slaanesh". They look like awkward crab horses.. something out of salad fingers, rather than servants of the lord of excess. If it weren't for the rending claws, they wouldn't even fit in with the other Slaaneshi daemon models, in my opinion.

What I'm looking for, instead, is a different model to use as a base to convert some Slaaneshi "fiends" out of, that would fit in a little better / not look like gigantic crab horses.

Are the new DE Wracks large enough? They look pretty cool and like they may have hung out in one of the rings of Slaanesh's realm for too long... Are there WHFB models that might fit in? I've seen people use converted Wood Elf Dryads as lesser daemons.... I'm basically going for a similar effect here.

Any ideas would be awesome. I would prefer it be a GW model, however, because my FLGS is a GW store, and I want to be able to use the models for events.

Was just poking around the webs... anyone else think the DE Grotesques would make great Fiends of Slaanesh?

Id say the Dark Eldar Clawed Fiend is a good fit. I have a friend that uses those as Fiends of Slaanesh and I think its pretty cool.

Im making a Slaanesh Daemon army right now and also dislike those Fiends alot and have the same GW local store problem. If I could I would definitely use the Privateer Press Legion of Everblight Teraph, but alas... I cannot.

The DE Wracks are in no way large enough, they're no bigger than a Daemonette.

Have you tried using the mounts from the Mounted Daemonettes with added arms? Imagine like a Slaaneshified Raptor.
