Partly thinking out loud here but I'm wondering what to direct monies toward next for expanding my Slaanesh.

So far I've got the following




I'm currently thinking on a few potential upgrade paths:

1) Slaanesh Getting Started Sets. Bonus is that they give me more deamonettes and also more chariot sets. With 2 in each I can quickly get a couple more seeker chariots and a new exalted with just 2 sets. The downside is that the seekers become a bit superfluous. I've already got a solid unit of 20 and a unit of 10 and I figure I won't need more than one more unit of 10.

2) Slaves to Darkness Battleforce. Bonus is the saving discount and the fact that it gives me a very sudden core of Slaves followers to make either army supported by the other (Slaves with demons or demons with Slaves). In addition its in limited quantities and its likely that it will sell out fast when Slaves get their Battletome update.
Downside are a very steep upfront cost and the fact that it is sort of building into a second army before finishing the first.

3) Keeper of Secrets. Awesome model, but expensive. I'd ideally want to magnetize the key hand to swap between whip, blade, knife and claw. Otherwise a powerful monster that would certainly see use.

4) Exalted KEeper of Secrets. Awesome resin monster to put on the table and whilst its rules are not great it can easily stand in as a regular Keeper of Secrets. Downside is that its the most expensive single option to pick.



I'd welcome some thoughts, though I'm likely to not commit to anything till the end of the month or at least when we get full details of Warcry, the last two battle groups and the prices for it all as it could very well steal the show depending on how it comes out and its full details.

It's a matter of how strong you are looking to make it. But even that aside running a Slaanesh army without a KoS seems sacrilegious! It's just such a great icon and centerpiece for the army to rally around. If you go for the FW one be warned the hair bits will probably need heating & bending to get back into the right shape, and really like to break.

Yeah the hair is one thing I'm most worried about - a shame that they've not done what I've seen several others do with a more rubbery/soft resin mix which still holds good detail and has a metal rod down the middle for support - FAR better than actual resin for such tassles.

Otherwise its such an iconic exalted hero that I do sort of want one (of course raging heroes and creature caster also make a couple of really fantastic alternate sculpts)

Keeper is practically a must. I say get one. Also, the way the robe attaches makes it hard to magnetize hands (can leave the robe off, but makes the model appear much smaller). But the sinistrous claw is easily the best option there is, followed by the whip. I can’t see even bothering w/the Aegis or ritual blade.

As stated, keeper is a must. I greenstuff'd normal hair for my FW keeper, it's in the Project thread.
