![]() My color pallet and overall inspiration come from Vince Vinturella, who, if you’re not familiar with, is an excellent painter and teacher. All in all, I pretty happy with how it turned out, though it did take a while, so this method isn’t my usual “bang it out efficiently” sort of guide. I used the Contorted Epitome as a test model for some new Scale 75 metallics I recently purchased in addition to using it as an exercise in glazing, something I haven’t been very good at. I’ve only ever painted this one Slaanesh model, so if you’re looking for a Slaanesh diehard fan, look elsewhere. Painting Slaanesh Daemons Charlie A’s Way We don’t have a guide for Hedonites of Slaanesh yet for Age of Sigmar, but it’s in the works!.In Kill Team, check out our guide to Chaos Daemons kill teams.In 40k, check out our guide to the armies of Slaanesh and our Chaos Daemons Start Competing Faction Guide.The Fabius Bile books Primogenitor and Clonelord also have some Slaanesh daemons, and feature the Emperor’s Children, a traitor legion that fell to worship of She Who Thirsts.Shadowsword by Guy Haley follows the Baneblade book and features Slaaneshi daemons as the primary antagonists, and while the focus is on the guardsmen in the tank crew, there’s some interesting action near the end between daemons and Black Templars.Daemon World by Ben Counter follows the Word Bearers but takes place on a Daemon World of Slaanesh in the Eye of Terror and features a daemon princess of Slaanesh as its primary antagonist.Call of Chaos by Rob Sanders follows a Slaaneshi warlord through an encounter with the Stormcast Eternals.A Song for the Lost by Robbie MacNiven is a short story that features daemons of Slaanesh.If you’re looking to read more about the depraved followers of Slaanesh and her daemons, consider the following books: The daemons of Slaanesh thrive on temptation and obsession, feeding on mortals’ pride. The Daemons of Slaanesh are twisted representations of desire and perversion, often intersexed and with lithe forms that move in beguiling ways. Slaanesh is trapped between realms, bound by magical energies, and forced to relinquish the Aelven souls it devoured when the world-that-was was shattered. However Slaanesh has been missing from the mortal realms for some time, having been captured by the Aelven gods Hysh and Ulgu. The Dark Prince stoked the obsessions and sensations of the early inhabitants of the mortal realms, creating followers called the Hedonites of Slaanesh. ![]() In the Age of Sigmar, Slaanesh was around before in the world-that-was, and in the Great Shattering gorged itself on Aelven souls, swelling in size and power. In the wake of Slaanesh’s birth, the stage was set for the Imperium of Man to begin reclaiming the galaxy. ![]() Slaanesh’s birth caused the rift in realspace known as the Eye of Terror, sucking in countless Aeldari worlds and dissipating the warp storms that had covered the galaxy and long made warp travel impossible. The Aeldari’s rampant debauchery finally reached a crescendo at some point and the energies, emotion, and psychic power from that action combined to birth a new chaos god. In 40k, Slaanesh was born some time before the year 30,000, when the Eldar reached the height of their decadence as a culture. Of the four Chaos Gods, Slaanesh is the youngest and least powerful, and is the only one who has very divergent backstories and lore based on whether you’re in the 40k universe or the Age of Sigmar universe. Slaanesh, the dark prince, or known to the Eldar as “She Who Thirsts,” Is the Chaos god of pleasure, excess, lust, pride, and decadence. With the release of Engine War we’re looking at the forces of the Chaos Daemons, and this instalment is dedicated to the Prince of Pleasure, She Who Thirsts, Slaanesh. In our How to Paint Everything series, we take a look at different armies of the Warhammer universe, examine their history and heraldry, and look at several different methods for painting them. ![]()
