Fifth_miracle's Slaaneshi Themed Daemon Army

[Fifth_miracle]

Okay, here we go...

Alright six months ago I started researching, sketching, sculpting and acquiring models for a Slaaneshi daemon army. Got off to a good start and then got side tracked by the siren song of a all true-scale Black Templar army, more on that later... Anyway, here we go again. Now the goal here is to create a playable tournament army, that both unique and characterful. So, will be no stock GW models, everything will be getting some sort of conversion. These conversion with be heavily influenced by "Slaves to Darkness" and Liber Chaotica". While, I'm not going for perversion, there will be some naughty bits, we are talking Slaanesh after all. Hopefully you all can help me stay motivated. All comments and critiques are most welcome.

Since in Codex Daemons pretty much forces you to use a mixed gods list. I'm using "count as" to keep things Slaaneshi.

Here's what I have planned so far:


HQ:

1 Keeper of Secrets (Forgeworld)
2 Heralds (sculpted mini Keepers = counts as Heralds in chariots)

Elites:

12 Pleasureseekers (converted plastic daemonettes mounted on winged steeds of Slaanesh) = counts as Fiends
12 Wyrms (winged snakes w/ steeds of Slaanesh style heads) = counts as Flamers
12 Gluttons (converted ogre bulls = counts as Blood Crushers)

Troops:

40 Daemonettes (6th edition - metal daemonettes)
60 Daemonettes (plastic daemonettes w/ reposing and weapon swaps)
12 Slayers (plastic daemonettes converted to running poses w/ custom bliss giver swords) = counts as Bloodletters
24 Tormentors (converted grave ghouls is B/SM gear) = Plaguebearers
24 Gorgons (plastic daemonettes tentacle hair, and blazing eyes) = Horrors
1 Changeling (a plastic daemonette in a commissar cap, jacket, and bolt pistol)
12 Imp bases (custom sculpted, evil munchkins)

Fast:

10 Seekers (mounted daemonettes - metal)
26 Seekers (converted plastic daemonettes on sculpted mounts)
12 Furies (converted plastic daemonettes w/ feathered wings)

Heavy:

3 Daemon Princess (custom sculpts)
3 Slaaneshi Soul Grinders (custom sculpts)



Anyway photos to follow...

So, lets start out with my Daemon Princess Sculpt, this is pretty rough as it still needs sanding and buffing. I've designed her to be modular so that I can make all 3 Princess models from same basic body once she's cast in resin. After which I cut up, modify the poses, detail them. Their are four different arms, three separate heads, and two different sets of wings; so lots of variation.

Here some early shots:

I plan on having three of these bad girls...boys...its? The goal is to have field up to 5 monstrous creatures in case I want to run a Demonzilla list. That and is just cool to see so many big guys on table top.

Okay more current pics of the princess in turn-around:

Here are a few older pics from before I had a good idea of where I wanted to go. Yeah she's looking a little stiff at the moment but that will be rectified once I get her cast up.

Nice. Consider me subscribed.

[Fifth_miracle]

Here's a couple more scales shots of the the DP and some other units.

Now this one will be the base model for all three, but don't worry once I cast her, I'll be converting the others. I'll post some sketches later, as I'd like input on them.

I need Input on:

- armor
- tails (yes/no)
- horns
- naughty bits? :lol:

Impressive Sculpting work, I'll definitely keep my eye on this!

[Mega Nutz]

Fantastic sculpt!

[King Fluff]

looks great - looking forward to seeing the end result

Here are some older WIP shots of my custom seekers. The details on the mount have been greatly improved since these were taken. But I thought I'd throw them up to give an idea of where this is going.

Seekers:

I'm really happy with how this turned out. As you can see here I'm trying to copy the poses of the old mounted 'nettes. The only problem is that the riders are going to be with very labor intensive, lots of cutting and repositioning, also there are only 5 of the models in a box of 'nettes that are really suitable for this. I need at least 14 of these so I'll have to come up with a couple of alternative poses as well.

awesome work, the boobs seem a little odd shaped and abit large, but other than that the scuplt is awesome!

Still more:

Here is an alternate and much easier pose for the daemonette rider.


Moving on to Pleasureseekers next!

[Fifth_miracle]

Pleasureseekers:

Since I've already repositioned a few plastic 'nettes to serve a seekers, I thought I'd see how they look mounted on a Steed of Slaanesh. These will be counting as fiends in the army. I've been told that these are best taken in larger numbers so I want at least 12. The riders will be armed with the Slaaneshi Champions spear/lance thingy. The mounts will be fitted with modeling chain bridles and reigns. No saddles though as these girls ride'em bare back. The shields from the Champions will be going to my "Slayers" which will be up-scaled plastic daemonettes counting as bloodletters. I figure I have to represent their T4 somehow.

Say anybody need 12 odd Slaanesh Champions, sans weapons and mounts?

Alternate Poses:

Okay progress!

I finished the wings last night, so here ya go.

Here's the styrene base, and the wings with sculpted green stuff and Procreate feathers.

On the actual model:

And finally with arms:


More to picture to follow!

[Fifth_miracle]

Okay here are a few of my Gluttons IE. count as plague bearers:

They've had their arms and legs lengthened, the belly has been filled and resculpted, the pants have been carved off, and have brand new hoofed feet. So they are now a good head and a half taller than standard Ogre models.

I actually have 12 of these converted now, but I flubbed the pics of the others.

Base models before heavy converting and Standard / Icon bearers:
