chaos daemon side project +NSFW+

[Studio Silvernale]

I'm more or less restarting my formerly abandoned chaos daemon project. I've always been a bit disappointed with the chaos minis in that they are kind of limited for something that should represent infinite diversity. When chaos attacks an Imperium world, the reaction should be "oh dear God what the eff is that?!", not "chaos attacking sir, we report a bloodthirster, 30 daemonettes, and a pack of blue horrors". Anyway, I don't know that this will pan out into a full army, but for now its mostly Creature Caster models and a few other things.

Que the jaded Imperial Guardsmen in a firing line calling out different monstrosities charging them. "Blue one with the green sword?" "Pass." "Red one with the bat wings?" "Eh. I'd hit that if she was my size."

I like your painting and I like your idea but I have always hated those miniatures. 

 

Show us MOAR!

 Edit: Just actually read the first post so now I know where the models are from...don`t mind me  I`m considering a slaanesh daemon army myself so I`d definitely keep an eye on this project

Lady of Corruption is done. Since these typically have two different heads, I magnetized them so I can use either one.

Oooooh. Those are superb paintjobs on those minis- I personally don't think they fit in too well with 40K models (in terms of sculpting style at least- the actual asethetic choices are extremely fluffy, ESPECIALLY on the Lady of Depravity) but they're undeniably well made models and you did a superb job on them!

Thanks!

I really quite like the painjobs on these. Any idea of what the Avatar of Shaah will be in terms of colour palette?

I'm thinking it'd look really nice in black chitin/pale grey skin. In my opinion anyway

Well if I go with the obvious and make her Slaaneshi, my daemonette scheme is pale (almost albino) skin with icy blue carapace bits. I'm not 100% sure her palette yet.

 

Or I could paint her like my mandrakes

Oooh, I REALLY like the Daemonette scheme. How'd you do that skin colour?

 

And the Mandrakes look awesome.

 

Hmm that is a quandry. The Avatar of Shaah would look good in either of those schemes :lol:

 

Also, by the way, I checked Raging Heroes, and the Avatar of Shaah is nowhere on their site. Was it a special model you could only get for a short time or something?

I bought pretty much their entire "sisters" and "dark eldar" ranges on kickstarter. Avatar of Shaah will be on their main site eventually.

 

The pale skin is base of VGC pale flesh, then highlighted with increasing amounts of white added until the final highlight of pure white.

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Excellent work on both the Daemonettes and the Dark Eldar.

Ahh, okay. 'cause I saw the Avatar of Shaah and was like "I need this" :lol:

 

And thank you. No shading at all? Interesting.

 

What about the Mandrake's skin? It looks fairly similar to the GW method of doing Salamanders skin.

The mandrakes I used Vallejo model air colors. Basecoat in black, 3:1 black & grey, 2:1 black & grey, 1:1 black & grey, grey.

[Chaplain Lucifer]

There is one model that would make a plastic surgeon rich. ;)

[Studio Silvernale]

Lady of Anguish wip.. she is supposedly "a mix of rotting flesh and fungal growth" so I am trying to get some colors right.

 

[Studio Silvernale]

Lady of Malice is done. I added the topknot because I don't like the baldylocks look. I may or may not go back and add a red glow to the underside of the rocks for the lava glow.

 

[Studio Silvernale]

Lady of Anguish is done

 

 

I have mixed feelings about this model. It just seems like a mish-mash of too many things and it was difficult to come up with a palette for her.

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Is the Lady of Anguish a Daemon of Nurgle? Or did she disembowel herself to offer her blood to Khorne?

[Studio Silvernale]

Nurgle I assume

[Studio Silvernale]

Lady of Depravity is done. Her heads are magnetized so I can swap, although I like the eyeless one better.

Herald of Slaanesh

 

 

And a squad of daemonettes of Slaanesh

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Great job! Are the Herald and Daemonettes all Games Workshop and Forge World models, or did you use third party manufacturers to give these units the look you wanted?

[Gederas]

Herald and the Daemonettes look awesome. Very nice :tu:

I think those are the old 1st/2nd Edition metal models.

Those are the Juan Diaz minis, and they are 100% legitimate.
