Mick D Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 (edited) Hi Guys, I'm a first-time poster and am recently getting back into the hobby after a few years so I am relearning everything. This forum has been an awesome source of inspiration so thank you to everyone who has posted their projects! Have to say that the GW shop in Epsom were incredibly helpful too with getting me back into things so shout out to those guys. I have always been a fan of Slaanesh and conversions in general - I'm a fan of the 'Slaves to Darkness' feel of wild chaos mutations and am finding the plastic kits (yes it's been a while!) really easy to chop around and work with. So I decided to go for a small Slaaneshi beastmen / Slaangor warband. I imagine them rampaging through Hysh on the hunt for Slaanesh, becoming ever more warped as they do, with their leader, a dragon ogre shaggoth having growing designs taking Slaanesh's place as his band becomes more and more powerful. This was my first time painting in a while so it was a bit rough and ready! But as a unit I think they are neat enough to hold together. This was my first test model, using a Gor torso with the claw and leg from a daemonette. And these are my takes on centigors, using the upper torsos of gors, the lower bodies and spears from melusai and claws again taken from daemonettes. I tried to hide the join with a bit of Greenstuff fashioned into fur. And lastly some works in progress. The dragon ogre shaggoth leader of the warban,made with a combination of the shaggoth and an Idoneth deepmare torsos, pinned together with some greenstuff to fill the (big!) gaps. Lastly, another WIP - a beastman shaman, who I imagine as some kind of prophet or vizier to the dragon ogre. He is put together with the shaman model and part of the discarded tail-part of the dragon ogre model. Lastly I added the rock base from the shaggoth kit and the standard from the gors, just to make the model a bit more interesting and to possibly represent a shamanic totem. (I also should have spent the time to get the banner straight as I have noticed it comes down at an unnatural angle!) Thanks for looking guys. I will keep this thread updated as I (hopefully!) make progress. Mick Edited April 30, 2020 by Mick D 13 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moldek Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Fantastic work mick! Your beastmen look great, real Realms of Chaos vibes here. I’m looking forward to seeing what you do next. Are you planning on some terrain too? They are screaming for some scenery! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elfhead Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 I love Slaangors, you can find my take on them in my plog. Your work is fantastic! Especially the snake centigors. The green stuff work is good and the paintjob really nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blutsteigen Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 I know this post is several years old, but I'm dying to know if the OP ever completed more units for this project. I've dreamed of doing Beastmen of Slaanesh for ages, and these are absolutely rad models here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
