It's from an Ebay *auction, which does NOT seem like a very official way to leak stuff...

Glorious! Praise be to Slaanesh!

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

Christmas hasn'' had major release(codex etc) for years. It's generally bundles etc. So november or january are much more likely

This is an insanely cool model, and is really a perfect case of Slaanesh done the right way). the only thing is that it's a bit similar style wise to seekers of slaanesh, and it makes the ugliness of these pos of a model stand out even more(i don't mind the deamonettes, but seekers are way too stiff).

I hope there is a lot of more cool stuff for Slannesh. I'd especially like some kind of ogre size weird looking muscular creature, and I can't wait to see the KOS. (Please., make it a giant bull insect hybrid, and not a giant strip teaser)

Definitely hoping for a strong built, clawed giant cow myself, not the thing from FW (which the only Slaanesh model I don't own),
and Slaanesh be pleased a rod of comand as weapon option!!

On the KoS, we can fairly reasonably expect new weapons for it as well, given the other Greaters now have that kind of variation.

Perhaps not as distinct as the Khornate ones. But given pleasure comes in many forms, who knows?

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

I figure it has to do with how temptation and stripteases works where you're more titillated by the little that you don't get to see.

the god of excess is the most likely to go in for luxurious clothing and decoration, I would think.

Not sure.

Vibrant colours is more Tzeentchian I guess.

In the RoC books, Slaanesh went in for bright colours, while Tzeentch was more into pastel tones.

So much for the "they'll remove all the bewbs for the kiddies" nonsense.

Have to keep up the appearance that only male basement dwellers play miniatures. I really wish they did get rid of the tits.

"Hey, you paint all of these?"
"Yup"
"LOL, nice tits on the models."
"Hey, we are so mature we have to have tits on the models."
"Ok son."

Oh come on mate. I'm all for better representation of females in wargaming, and if the Slaanesh models were nude supermodels with perky tits like the Raging Heroes stuff I'd agree with you. But this is a four-legged seahorse-cow-crab with 5 saggy tits on its pale lilac snake-centaur torso... Ain't no one going to complain about this one except the religious conservatives.

I find this thread interesting in the area of "comments that say a lot about the people writing them"

So... errr... there's going to be colour shifting paint with this release.

Say what?

It's not color shift paint. Its purple lighting shining on the model.

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.

Same? More! Excess in everything!

Going to quote this because it represents my opinion perfectly.

Maybe you'll get a giant stripper with bull head.

Honestly I think the part I can't see is the insect hybrid. I don't recall a Keeper ever looking like that, and with how GW likes to go back to 1st and 2nd ed designs (but with better sculpting/casting technology) I don't expect any surprises. I think we'll just get a giant humanoid with various head and probably weapon options. The uncertainty is in how androgynous it'll be and how much of all the good, decadent decoration the new Fiend has finds its way on the Keeper.

Source? That sounds highly unlikely.

the original Keeper of Secrets had a bovine head (in a few variants, including a skull and one with straight horns that looks a little like the original Verminlord). It was basically a minotaur in bondage gear with one boob and an extra pair of crab arms.


I'd also like to see the name represented - Keeper of Secrets - how do you represent that in the model and the rules? I'd like to see something in diaphanous robes and veils, soft leather and silk and velvet fabric, gemstones and the like.

Brilliant!

Model is gorgeous,

Not just Chesticles, but also a rather kinky M&S harness!

I take it the branches of Marks & Spencer's near you have some... interesting stock, MDG?

Not very subtle having the legs reversed for the tail section

Regarding the KoS, a very cool thing would be options to make it on the lithe side or a bulging muscle monster - for each limb!

It'd take some clever engineering* for the delts and pecs, but with how the other greater demons have different arms and heads sprue here could be used for a slender right arm, a buff right arm, etc. Allowing you to built a slender KoS, a bull-ish one or a mixture of both, resulting in models resembling current FW Keeper, older versions or the hermaphroditic aspect of Slaanesh - and you can decide of the 'boob side' is the lithe one or the muscular one, for even more expectation shattering demonicness.

*mostly to make sure people can't accidentally kitbash another KoS from the spares, can't have that

There is that one picture of Sigmar facing off against a KOS and over its chesticles and body it has multiple eyes. I think this would be a cool motif to add in for all KOS. Soethig with multiple eyes and mouths to see and whisper all tempting secrets

That's not really keeping secrets though. If it whispers secrets then it fails its namesake. It would make more sense if the eyes were open but the mouths were stitched up, implying that it can see everything (secrets), but it can't say anything about them (keeping).

It could also be a constant chant of "I know something you don't" until one either relents or goes mad from hearing it over and over again.

Can I love the miniature but hate the head? Is that allowed?

Don't give him a mouth at all, it makes it more alienated from normal humans, but may be even more interesting. And it prevents the keeper to be seduced to spill the secrets once and for all

Yeah, that would work too. It would also be super annoying, so of course demons would do that. Because they are donkey-caves.

That's also a possibility, but to me its more unnerving to see a mouth stitched up than no mouth at all.
From a horror perspective its effective, imo, and if you think about it, demons should have human characteristics as they are largely born from the human psyche.

"warhammerofficial@tyler17moore if we said yes and that there is paint that changes colour once it’s dry...would you believe us?!" - from warhammer official instagram


(I think they mean colour shifting)

Or they could mean a paint that's one color while wet, that becomes another when dry.
If they do mean color shifting, then it might be a chromaflair paint. Though that's usually iridescent.

It was in response to the question "is this paint colour shifting". So not 100% clear but something unusual and new.

Whats the point of one paint that is one colour when wet and other when dry?

That is a good question...I don't know. That is one possible way of reading that statement.
Marketing ploy, I guess? I mean, what's the point of a pet rock? You won't believe the crap people managed to sell as a fad.

The color part was trolling by gw, as there is a violet light on the mini, which was mistaken as color shifting paint by some Noob

Or they could just be taking the mickey out of the kind of people who disbelieve everything GW say out of some sort of twisted principle.
