r/Slaanesh

Im starting a Slaanesh army and so far the mortal side of its been going well while painting, I however am about to start up the deamon side of the army and settled on doing flesh tone deamons because it gives that creepy vibe, the only ones Im stuck on really are the seekers and fiends. My brain can work out the color schemes on the smaller or 'human' like looking deamons but when it comes to the rest I cant really think of how the scheme should look with the underbelly then top scaled sculpts.

If anyone who also has a flesh toned deamon side that also has seeker mounts / fiends painted up, how did you achieve it and or do you have any photos of your work so I can conceptualize it easier? My Seekers and chariots arrive tomorrow so I'm hoping to get some paint on them with the longer weekend.

Thanks in advance.

First of all, I'm sorry if this has been posted before. I couldn't find any recent post talking about this.

Second: I know that the leaks are saying we're getting another foot hero (probably mortal?).

But what are you wishes for how the army will play in general?

Personally I hope the daemons become valid again. So far Keeper of Secrets and Daemonettes are the only ones that I've added to multiple lists, but even then they feel grossly underpowered to any mortal/sybarite unit I could've spent the points on instead.

When I started playing Hedonites we were still on the 2nd Edition book, and after the 3rd edition book launched I went whole heartedly from maining Seraphon to having Hedonites as my main army. In 3rd edition it felt like almost all units had a place or purpose, and most of my lists were quite evenly split between daemons and mortals.
But now my once beloved Fiends have become dust collectors, and all those GORGEOUS models like Infernal Enrapturess or Contorted Epitome are things I just bring in my army bag to show to my opponents, before tucking them back and deploying units that are actually in my list.

Aside from daemons becoming good again I hope we get the temptation dice mechanic back as it was in 3rd edition. I liked feeling like a drug dealer when offering those dice, and each step of the depravity points table felt like sweet, sweet nectar that could really turn a losing game to a quite nasty victory.

After seeing that daemons have been included in quite a few Blades of Khorne or Maggotkin of Nurgle lists (I haven't looked into Tzeentch too much), I feel like (or maybe it's just me huffing too much hopium) a split list might be back on the table.

Also: I hope that the Shardspeaker finally gets a warscroll that is in any way good, or that she drops to, like, 80 points so that she can tag along for... vibes, or something.

You don’t have to use a Rampage, correct?

And this one says „the target”, I might be reading wrong but why am I buffing the enemy?

Once Per Turn (Army), Any Combat Phase
Dark Temptations
Declare: Pick an enemy unit in combat
with this unit to be the target.
Effect: Pick 1 of the following effects:
• Add 1 to hit rolls for the target’s attacks for the rest of the turn.
• Add 1 to save rolls for the target for the rest of the turn.
• If the target is damaged, Heal (D3) the target. 
Then, add 1 to the Damage characteristic of this unit’s Elegant Greatblade for attacks that target that enemy unit for the rest of the turn.
Rampage

Hello this beautiful girl I'm talking to really loves the Slaanesh and drukhari. I want to read up on some lore before meeting her later to try and impress her some 👀. Where could I get a book or even website best to do this at moments notice? I'll check the sub directory too, just wanted to post since I'm kinda running around ATM.

So tl;dr a friend of ours gave us (my wife and I) a box of paint and sprues/bases he doesn't want anymore, but neither of us have any interest in the Hedonites. The sprues seem to be the entire Hedonites Vanguard box for AoS, except that the HQ and one model out of each unit are missing........ The friend seems to have no idea where those models went, so I'm left with a box full of sprues and bases for incomplete units and no use for them for kitbashing or anything.

I was going to take pics and sell them on eBay until I found out about the missing models, and now it's like.... it's technically still 90% of the value of the original box in models, but who the hell wants to buy incomplete units for a modern GW game..? I dunno, it's deeply frustrating and I had hopes to try to turn this into money for the new Defiler kit, but now I'm at a loss for what to do. There's nobody local to sell them to, I imagine if I try to pawn the sprues off on Warpfire or somewhere similar I'll get like pawn shop beer money value... Am I cooked, chat?
