TheMadJester Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 The Carnival of Excess Hey everyone here's the start of my first army for age of sigmar. I plan to do a highly converted army based around the theme of a carnival of chaos. Using a mix of dark eldar parts, harlequins and general deamon parts, i'll be making an army of mad jesters and creatures. Below is my first character, Onna my herald of slaanesh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AGPO Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Lovely model! If I had one piece of advice it would be to add some more Slaaneshi symbols to counteract the crescent moons which are strongly linked to Teclis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, the idea for the army is that they appear to be an aelf carnival. So there wont be a lot of chaos symbols on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMadJester Posted April 20, 2017 Author Share Posted April 20, 2017 The Plan. So to go along with the army i'm going to be using certain characters and squad leaders for my dark age of sigmar warband. my warband will consist of: A chaos lord. A herald of Slaanesh a chaos warrior 2 daemonettes and a seeker of slaanesh. I feel this is a good mix of leaders and normal troops and will provide a lot of opportunity for conversions.

TheMadJester Posted April 20, 2017 Author Share Posted April 20, 2017 Work in Progress Keeper of Secrets Here's my work in progress keeper of secrets for the carnival of chaos. I want it to look like a mix of demon and a clockwork toy. still need to get a lot more parts to make it more demon and less machine. what do you guys think so far?

Galas Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 My first impulse after seeing that beautiful face was to kiss it. So tempting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodwin Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 You're going to make me start a Slaanesh army... -.- Lookin' really neat. It does look a little machiney, but if you are planning on having a Soul Grinder or some other stuff that has that machiney look then it shouldn't look out of place. Either way, really cool ideas! Goodluck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMadJester Posted April 24, 2017 Author Share Posted April 24, 2017 The First Troupe Here's the first members of my daemonetts squad. I've never liked the normal daemonetts and I didn't feel that they fit the theme well. I wanted these to not appear so chaos as lore wise they appear as just a normal carnival and over time corrupt the town/ city they've appeared in. I felt making them look like aelfs made sense since slannesh and the aelfs have always had a close relation, especially now in age of sigmar.

TheMadJester Posted April 25, 2017 Author Share Posted April 25, 2017 The Puppet Known as the puppet he was once a prince who became corrupted by the carnival of excess. His soul was taken away from his mortal form and input into one of metal and bone. He feels only pain, his new form stops from him from feeling pleasures, his thirst powers him. He believes that only slannesh itself can quench his thirst and follows the carnival in the hopes of finding the prince of chaos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redmanphill Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 This is a good idea. I'd considered using Harlequins for marauders before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMadJester Posted May 1, 2017 Author Share Posted May 1, 2017 Cirque: Star of the Masquerade, Lead dancer of the Carnival of Excess. The Star of the Masquerades mastery of performance and magic allows him to intoxicate his viewers, they become obsessed with his very movements, forever thirsting to see him perform again. When carnival leaves towns they are left in chaos striving to see his troupes performance once more, never able to filled that thirst. When he returns those left swarm to him, only for them to be put to Cirques blades. Their very souls ripped from their bodies to later be fed to the Mistress of the Carnival and her children. Hey guys here's my completed version of the Masque, what do you guys think? I wanted him to stand a lot from the rest of the army as he is meant to be a main attraction.

TheMadJester Posted May 2, 2017 Author Share Posted May 2, 2017 Zexdiel: Grand seeker of the Carnival of Excess. A cruel and mischievous daemon. His troupes purpose within the carnival is not performance and corruption but the hunting of those who can sense the corruption of chaos or those who try to escape and warn other towns. Zexdiel will play with his prey, slowly breaking them mentally and physically, the more pain the merrier. Hey guys here's the leader for my seeker squad, I loved how this guy has turned out.

The Traitor Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Awesome thread, the theme is very cool. My favourite conversion ought to be The Puppet, but I like a lot everything you've done so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Nice to see you join AOS, followed the sons of malal for a while on bolter on chainsword while I was working on my Ashen Crows. Decided to use this project as a break from my missing legion project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I really like your armies man, your AoS force may be even more awesome than your 30k legion :P! I'm also taking a little break from my Harvesters of Souls, missing legions surely take a lot of energy ;)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep haha. after about 7 months on the Ashen Crows and a year and a half on space marines I wanted to do something completely different. Thats why I've been inactive on bolter and chainsword for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaaras Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Great idea. Very different use of these models. Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing a bit of Slaanesh Daemonette here and there, a claw, a face, something just to mess with the viewer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menkeroth Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Great work to be sure, and very creative too! It requires lots of parts from the dark eldar and harlequins, so not all can so easily do it, but when you do have them... Looks really Slaaneshi! And the most I like your Herald, the mistweaver saih is one of the greatest elvish models out there and it seems she fits in your ideas just perfect!
