Hello there, I have recently picked up the Hedonites Battletome for my club's narrative campaign and have a couple of questions. For the allegiance abilities, the book says 'Slaanesh army' and not 'Hedonites army' , does this mean I can use the allegiance abilities as long as my army is all Slaanesh keyword? Say I have some Slaanesh Chaos Warriors or Slaanesh beastmen. Secondly, and related, does this mean I can bring in beasts and mortals without using up allies points? I'm assuming they then also gain the Euphoric Killers ability? Finally, are these additional Slaanesh units (eg beasts and mortals) included in my host? For example, if I take Invaders, could I theoretically choose a Herald, a Demon Prince and a Beastlord to be my 3 generals? Thanks!

I agree the mangler is probably a bit big; however the new squig boss from Looncurse might work. I haven't assembled mine yet but looking at the sprue, it's somewhere in between the mangler and the regular squigs size-wise.

My copy arrived in the post today, but I need to be good and finish my 40k stuff before building the new gobbos.

As much as I like the revenant hero, I have enough painting to do eight now for aos and 40k so I've split a box with someone from the local club for the Gitz half. They add just what I need to my current collection to form a solid army core.

I finished my goal to convert Kefka for my FF6 display. Got started with the painting but for now I have been sidetracked with 40k stuff so it could be a little while before I come back to this project.

Thanks! I just realised I never did upload the pics of the Mangler after I finished the base. The Gitz are on hold for now while I work on 40k stuff, but I will probably pick up Looncurse and come back to them soon(ish).

I love it! The Gloomspite half rounds out what I already have to a good size to start playing; I've also been thinking of starting Sylvaneth for a number of years now, and always preferred the Revenant aesthetic to the Dryads (plus I do have a box of Revenants I painted when they were released). This box is perfect for me, will most likely pick it up (the new Sylvaneth hero is gorgeous too).

I believe you are referring to this model; it has a similar stitched cape (which was also a rumour engine post) and was part of the recent CSM releases.

I'll give this a go for some extra motivation! Beginning to plan a Final Fantasy 6 themed board for Armies on Parade (if I start early I may actually be done by October!). Going to start with the star of the show, by converting God Kefka from a Necron Deceiver. Also looking to source some models to count as the heroes, so far I'm probably going to get the DE assassin and maybe a Gryph Hound to represent Shadow and his dog. I'll be happy if I can get Kefka ready to paint this month.

Two head options shown (so far at least) for the Keeper of Secrets.

Not sure if it's been posted in here yet, but there are some variants in the new KoS kit, two head options and a left arm with or without shield:

New rumour engine - looks Aelvish to me.

The Mangler is complete, apart from the base. I haven't glued the riders or the chain and while photographing, the model seemed pretty stable so that will make it easier to store and transport the model. I'm really pleased with the complete look, although it is an awkward model to photograph! Skragrott is on the painting desk right now but I am also looking to improve my painting skills in general and have ordered an unrelated model to try next. Therefore this will probably be the last update for the Gitz for now, although I will post final pics of the Mangler Squigs once the base is finished.

The gums and tongue were base coat Mephiston Red, then layer Emperor's Children with some washes of Druchii Violet and Carroburg Crimson in between.

WIP on the Mangler Squigs, lovely models but I have no idea how I'm going to transport it once it's fully assembled 😨 Personally, I really like the yellow armour, plus it's so simple to do! Building as the Loonboss variant but would like to leave the option to also run as a regular Mangler. The boss actually sits quite snuggly just dry-fitting so I hopefully won't need to mess about with magnets or pinning. As for other progress, I have started painting a kitbashed Madcap Shaman and Skragrott, as well as putting 40 bfsp grots onto round bases.
