Yay Slaanesh!!

It's been awhile.

Those fiends look cool! They seem much more comparable to the other gods beasts now.

I hope we get a character keeper of secrets this time. I know we have Zara from FW, but I'd love a new one.

Vibrant colours is more Tzeentchian I guess.

Not traditionally.

The best part is the rear legs looking like backwards human legs. Like someone meda a centaur by sewing the lower bodies of two gimps together ass to ass.

The Fiend's rear legs have always been backwards like that.

I like the backwards facing legs. Interesting placement of the tail.

Slaaneshi Daemons have mostly had a pastel palette. This one does look washed out though.

I love the new Fiend. Looks great.

Can.. not... unsee..

Right side torso female, left male
Front legs female, back legs male

They really didn't tone tone slaanesh for sure

How exactly are the front legs female? I can see the rear legs with the tail echoing a phallus when viewed from a certain angle, but nothing that makes the front specifically female.

I think he's referring the fact you are one of the first to complain about gakky leak pictures being taken in the middle of earthquakes on potatoes.

Or you're really Adam Troke.

When you look at the front view the legs look broad and wide hips like a female imo.

I can see this too now you say it, and can imagine it was part of the brief. Monstrous, but slightly feminine.

Interestingly, when it switches to the fiend sprue it's purple, whether an easy to build version or just the regular coloured up for Wrath and Rapture who knows...

Interesting observation from reddit: Only Slaanesh daemons seem to wear clothes.

Reddit also seems to think the current Fiend model came out in the mid nineties. So what the feth do they know?

In the video? The fiend sprue isn’t shown in the video, it’s the Tyranids hive Guard sprue.

In "the leak department" it is shown. Just not shown well--I didn't notice any coloration to the sprue though.

Turntable video thingy

Looks brilliant, I am so excited for Slaanesh!

This.

Thats actually a really nice model, still not a fan of the suck-me-bae seahorse face but I can find a replacement, the rest of the body is just golden.

And lots of tasty looking conversion bits on that sprue, might need a few.

Was just about to jump in to Aos but will now hold out for the Slaanesh release, I hope its not to far out.

They'll probably release them in january, or around the same time maggotkin got their battletome last year.

I'm expecting a December release for some Slaaneshmas jokes myself.

Isn't that a TTS thing? I mean, it would be great if GW knew what that was and started adding little references (like a Silver Custodes), but I'm not sure if it would happen.

So guys does this mean they're getting rid of Slaanesh because I was told by someone they were it's totally true I hate GW so much

I’d hope they wait till February, turn Saint Valentine into a Demon Prince.

Higher hope for a great new Keeper of Secrets !

A mortal range based on this concept would be marvelous...

yeah was thinking that, if so I get some time to save money at least, and even if I'm unimpressed by models and or rules I have the money to go after something else, really want new moonclan as well

That's my hope too! Slaanesh has a more obvious reason to attract cultists than all of the others Chaos Gods lol

Well Khorne got two types of mortal units. Nurgle have their Blight King people. Tzeentch got Kairic Acolytes and Tzaangors.

I'd hope that Slaanesh would get the same level of attention.

I think it'd be a very awesome thing to have a darkoath army with the human cultists of the other gods present, but nothing "overtly demonic" in the army. But then I'm a low fantasy, sword and sorcery kind of guy.

I have a vague recollection that when they redid the daemonettes and colored them grey, GW retconned that after being exposed to so much sensation, all colors look dull and grey to the followers of Slaanesh. So they don't bother with colors.

Right, this allowed them to push Tzeentch as the color cacophany

Well the model is kinda washed over with a purple light. I do see some blue gems and spot colors. But I kinda like the more restrained color scheme on the slaanesh models...at least in the official stuff. People can paint them however they want though.

I'm not at all convinced that leak was accidental either. Most real leaks i've seen involve people who can't take pictures very well.
