I vote flamer template... it just screams "money shot"

The reason why Dakka allows breasts is that you can see them on many classical works of art and they are not considered sexual or offensive for a general audience.

A rampant male member is clearly an adult sexual image only seen in the privacy of the bedroom or a porn movie. It is not suitable for an all ages audience such as we have on this board.

I dare say detailed female pudenda would have to be censored for the same reasons.

Classical works of art like Gustav Corbet's "The Origin of the World" 1866?? Or anything by Egon Schiele? "Adult sexual images" are more common in art history then you'd think. They just have a bad habit of getting burned.

This thread delivers.

I'd imagine 90% of this forums members have a bit of a soft spot for HR Giger of "Aliens fame."
Look at some of his other works and decide.
Twisted, sex starved, pervert or Creator of Aliens and amazing artist.

You didn't notice the Chaos Spawn, did you?

This. This army is the best army. While other people have big-breasted marines or slaanesh (without all the gifts of slaanesh) because of HURR GIRLS, you recognize slaanesh in all its glory.

The sad thing is that most warhams players act like they're in the closet when it comes to homoerotic overtones or when they see giant...tools. But, congrats dude. This army is the best army.

Remember: with slaanesh, there's always a surprise under the loincloth.

If you're going to use sonic blasters, they'd better be phallus-shaped.

Well, this is currently an all-Daemon army, so no CM.

I would seriously look to inkwashing. I light inking would REALLY bring out the detail on these minis and improve them substantially. Right now they look washed out. Use a colored ink to get an aethereal sheen. I did it with my demonettes and they came out great.

Soulgrinder penis needs more spikes and skulls.
Love the work - though it would surprise me to see it at the store. ;D

Well this does fit more with the RT era more adult view of 40K.

I'm not a fan of the Keeper's huge knife. It makes what is a subtly disturbing mini look clownish. Cut the blade down to something swordish length and its good.

Again these models are just screaming for a light inkwashing to bring out the work.

HA HA HA HA!!!! THAT IS SO FRIGGIN FUNNY!!!!! THIS IS THE BEST THREAD EVER!!!!!!!

Update: My LGS, Gamer's Inn, loves it. And apparently, a 2000 pt Slaanesh army is nothing to sneeze at.

Hey you should post some batreps when everything is done. I've been wanting to see how a pure slaanesh daemon army does at higher level points.

Will do! Where do they go?

Looking at that soulgrinder I'd care to wager the OP doesn't really give a damn about subtlety. Clownishness is probably what he was going for, and judging by his replies and the reactions he's getting, he's succeeded perfectly. (Although to be fair PH does have a huge sword...though I don't remember it being quite THAT big)

Which is kinda sad, I personally think you've missed the point entirely with this army. While I don't like the obvious Pyramid Head ripoff I do think an army loosely based on Silent Hill could work very well. It has the potential to be dark, disturbing, and subtle, which all scream Slaanesh. Instead you've opted for demons made out of breasts and war machines with horse cocks.

I don't know why everyone thinks every Slaaneshi demon has to be nude, either. Call me crazy but I just don't see Slaanesh being that blunt and tasteless.

lmao

Too true, considering that all his demons (and Slaanesh himself) are hermaphroditic.

I think being a Daemon and not caring what people think, he would just do as he please and be nude all the time. He isn't a tasteful burlesque dancer. Slaanesh is an already nude stripper with a giant claw for a right hand that he/she will use to rip in you in half with.

And there is a section for Battle Reports in the 40k section of the forum ialdabaoth.

Sort of unnecessary Sidstyler. Pretty rude

then he has succeeded.

lol penis. good stuff though

One could also argue that it's pretty rude to have a cock shoved in your face when you're innocently checking out a guy's army.

Anyway, how exactly was I rude? I'm looking at my post and I just don't see it. If you're calling me rude simply because I offered up criticism instead of posting "LOLZ COCKS" then I think you're mistaken. That's just my personal opinion, I don't like the army at all. I think his conversions are tasteless and crude and I think it's pretty clear he was more interested in shock value and getting the "LOLZ COCKS" reaction than making an appealing army.

Just for the record Typeline, I wasn't trying to claim that a demon would care what humans or aliens thought of its appearance, and according to fluff it could be a fat ugly blob and still hypnotize all the male Guardsmen because it's their musk that makes them irresistable, not necessarily their looks. All I'm saying is that maybe Slaanesh/Slaaneshi demons would find appearing naked all the time to mortals a little crude and prefer to tempt their victims in other ways.

He isn't a tasteful burlesque dancer. Slaanesh is an already nude stripper with a giant claw for a right hand that he/she will use to rip in you in half with.

Why can't he be both? I mean look at this fluff snippet from the daemonettes entry:

Slaanesh is given to swift changes of mood, and when frustrated he lashes out with his legions, sending his Daemonettes to obliterate everything he finds repugnant, unsubtle, and crude, and replacing them with artistic vistas of destruction.

That seems to support my idea of Slaanesh more than your "Always naked, all the time, CRAB CLAW BITCH" vision.


Anyway, I felt like I should explain myself more, since some people think I'm being too rude. I'm not opposed to nudity at all, I'm no prude and I don't have problems with male or female nudity...if it's done right.

That is pretty much my problem with these models. Some people consider miniatures an art form, and while I agree with them I don't think that's any excuse to sculpt huge genitalia on your tanks. You need to remember what you're working with, they're toys used for a tabletop game, a game that mostly children will be exposed to. Despite what most people like to tell themselves 40k is not an "adult" game, at least not anymore. I'm aware that the background is dark and that it's a game dedicated to war of all things, but I feel it's safe enough that I would allow my own children to play. God only knows what Slaanesh and his demons do in the Warp, but on the tabletop I just think people should be sensibe with their portrayals of Slaanesh demons and not do things like this "because in reality that's what they'd probably do". Which isn't even true, being the Prince of Excess I find it easy to believe that his demons would manifest themselves wearing fine silks or furs, or scantily clad in leather like the 5th edition models. Being a demon/follower of Slaanesh doesn't mean you're naked all the damn time, and that's a pretty narrow-minded view to take of it. Like it was said earlier, you never know what's lurking under the loincloth, and in my opinion it should stay that way, because ultimately modelling genitalia on toys is a little weird. It doesn't make you look mature or adult, simply put it makes you look like a sexually depraved freak, and this hobby has enough of a stigma attached to it without people like that making us look even worse. We look like a bunch of freaks drooling over toy tits and cocks, and I'm sorry if I've offended anyone but this is how people will see it.

Emperor's Children vehicles would most likely have scenes of debauchery painted on them. That doesn't mean you have to represent this on your models with pictures of women being penetrated by tentacles, you could simply paint nude figures (male and female) swirling or dancing on the surface, maybe something reminiscient of the picture on the bottom of page 10 in the CD codex, and it would still look like a perfectly fluffy EC model. If you're feeling adventurous you could even try painting a Giger-esque mural on them, still perverted but subtle. If you put time and effort into it you can make a sexually themed model that you can still trot out in games without shame.

I think the soulgrinder would have been much better if you modelled a cannon or something instead of the giant penis. It's still suggestive enough for those people who absolutely have to have stuff like that represented on their models, being a half-mechanical, half-demon construct it sorta makes sense (maybe have some tentacles and cabling wrapped around it or plugged into it and leading back to the body), and if any young gamer's mom happens to wander into the store it (hopefully) won't immediately put her off and make her force her kid to sell all his models and never speak of 40k again. The multibreasted spawn I don't really have a problem with (so long as I haven't missed any giant labia), even the GW fiends are sporting them, so it fits in. Spawn are the ones that I can really imagine not covering up their nudity, they're mindless beasts after all. The one on the far right is the worst though, I don't like it. It's literally nothing but breasts and a couple of tentacles, I think you should have made something closer to the one in the middle. Something that looks like a daemonette, but with more tentacles and claws and overall just a lot more monstrous-looking. I do like the armless daemonettes leading the chariot, I think this army needs more of that. Stuff that's disturbing and unsettling, not just blatantly offensive...not that a penis is "offensive", but a 10-foot hard-on that looks like it was just stuck randomly onto a model kinda is, in my opinion.

I dunno, does anyone see the point I'm trying to make? Do I make any sense at all? Anyone actually agree with me, or am I just wasting my time?

In either case it's your army, they're your models and you can really do whatever the hell you want with them, I don't care. In fact I think all this talk is starting to inspire me to go back and do my own Slaanesh army that I wanted to do before (with the sonic weapon bits now available on the GW store it would be a lot easier than when the CSM codex just came out). This is just my opinion, I'm not purposely trying to be rude or attack anyone and you can choose to completely disregard me if you want.

People need to get the stick out of their arses its creative expression, his reasons for giving it a cock do not matter, if you don't like it or don't feel comfortable with it than ignore it, its really not that hard.

Maybe now I will model all of my wraithguard with massive Wraith cannon cocks... yes that is right if you get hit with them you get split between space and time....if only my boner could do that.

Dude, have you seen it? It's positively bursting!
