Hi im thinking about collecting imperial guard but i want to do somthing alittle different. Then i thought my friend has a Slaanesh chaos army so why not do a Slaanesh guard army?

But im not sure where te rules stand on this, would they be played as IG or chaos units? as in which codex to use. I would also like to use a daemonette as a custom leader, maybe impersonating a IG leader by wearing his clothes lol. Could i do this? and if so how would i get around the rules to make this army work?

(sorry bout any spelling mistakes, typin in the dark :/ )

Run them as an IG army. Or if you have yourself a copy of the Seige of Vraks Imperial Amour book use the traitor guard list in that.

Also point of interest. The demonette wouldnt so much be wearing his clothes so much as wearing his skin... But i nitpick.

Like Azul said, I'd run them as guard. My guard army is guard, follow all the rules of guard, but their high commander is leading a rebellion against the Imperium. I mean, the dried corpse isn't ruling anything, it's the group of people that rule in the name of the Emperor. Plus this "Emperor" is just a rotten, dried up corpse that nobody has ever even seen!

I suppose that makes sense, especially seen as i wont be using slaanesh daemonettes as daemons but as troop replacment for standard guard, not all of them though.

If you want to incorporate Deamonettes into the army somehow you could Possibly!! run them as 'counts as' Ogryns or Penal Legion squads although this would be a fair bit of stretch. Maybe an easier alternative could be to have the deamonettes acting as segeants for the trooper squads OR have them as sexy heretical deamonette Commissars...

I think they would make awesome Commissars lol

Devient traitor morale restored.

That is exactly what i was thinking of.

lol im using that pic as a basis for my Commissar ;D

Option number #2: Run them as an Lost and the Damned Apocolypse formation...

except that's only one type of unit, is apocalypse only; and the rules kind of suck

wHY NOT USE THE sIEGE OF Vraks traitor guard list or update the Lost and the Damned list from the Eye of Terror Campaign Codex?

Where would i find the traitor guard rules? which book? and why would it be better than running with normal guard rules, except the really obvious daemon thing lol

That Commissar makes having a Slaanesh IG army tempting


Crap, I'm committing heresy for considering it! Time to start converting.

The reason as to why it might be better than normal IG is because these are chaos IG, so it might fit better to your army and it's fluff...your choice tho.

Choas IG could be a good way to go. Lets put the two codexes up against each other.

RENEGADES AND HERETICS GUARD.
PROS
-You get the option of including a CSM squad. So thats some much needed eliteness right there.
-Has options of sentry guns and turrets.
-The enforcers fill in the role of commissars, so theres the deamonette commissar idea put into play.
-Have AWESOME Ogryns.
CONS
-It doesnt allow the option of tank squadrons.
-Can take one Artillery strike. (Is both a pro and con...)
-Can only take Scout Sentinals.

IMPERIAL GUARD.
PROS
-Tank squadrons.
-Master of Ordnance can use an Artillery stike once per turn, as opposed to only one available to the RaH Guard.
-Lots of Hero options. (Never EVER underestimate the balls to the walls toughness and unkillablity of Commissar Yarrick!)
-Ratling, Stormtroopers.
-Can probably put down more models then RaH.
CONS
-Less awesome Ogryns.
-Cant think of any real cons...

hmm not sure now, its either traitor guard or normal guard.
Traitor guard fits more with what i had in mind, plus id get to use chaos space marines

But i did want tanks :/

You get tanks, just not tank squadrons. I think you should go traitorous. A very nice idea too, btw!

sounds good to me then

hmm just looking over the idea, how would i go about making a daemonette commisar lol i got green stuff.

Choice is yours mate. Both armies would be more then suitable. I'd run RaH just for the brutal Ogryns.
on the flip side I'd run IG just to have Yarrick (or sexy deamonette Yarrick) lead the troops. Put him in a Vet squad with shotguns and chimera and you have a fairly nasty assault squad.

Does anyone know if i'll be able to play my Slaanesh commisar if i use a model from an alternate line of models not from GW?
Because i got afew really nice looking models i could use, one is nearly perfect, even the outfit fits, alittle green stuff and it'll look perfect as the slaanesh commisar but would i be able to use it, been not a GW model?

I have a 40+ Chaos miniatures currently, I am going to be getting some Space Wolves sprues and making a 13th Company army.

I'm keeping an eye on this one!!!

I would let you use it. Most places dont really give a hoot if you use minis from other lines. If you play in a GW store then maybe have a backup model in case they get all nazi-ish and dont let you use it. but it should be fine. Just out of curiosity what model are you refering to?

I wanna see the finished commissar!!!

Its proving harder to get hold of the older deamonette models now that they apear to be super expensive.

But im not giving up on my Slaanesh commisar, ive already developed the character lol, and ive started painting my first squad, these are just vets for now.

Ive also decided to base my traitor gaurd army off the Tainted coil units from the game brutal legend







Their practicaly slaanesh anyway lol

Ill post pics somtime

Also does anyone have any advice how to make her lol? im not used to conversions.

Goodluck with your project, and safe travels into the halls of NSFW!

NSFW?

Not Safe For Work.

Pornish.

Visable Naughty Bitz.


Speaking of bitz, These might come in very handy:





I haven't gotten the new pack yet, but regular Sci-fi pack works quite well. It has a very nice balance between reasonable forms and bewbage so the final models come out looking more like female soldiers without coming across as total gun bunnies. Though for Slannesh gun bunnies might be a better option...

they look pretty cool, open jacket would go nicely painted pink could be busty deamonette

and hell yeah NSFW lol i consider it failure if they were safe.

I need some advice on how to pull off the army i had in mind, because im totally knew to this. Any idea how i get them to look like what ive described?

I have green stuff.
