The Judgment on Kadeth - Dr. Ruminahui's Slaaneshi CSM

[Dr_Ruminahui]

Here you go - here he is with my Emperor's Children characters, where he is an Exhaulted Lord with 3x pistols (sorrry about all the primed models - haven't started painting my EC yet)

 

 

And here he is with my most commonly used CSM foot characters, who are painted, and where he will be my Cypher stand-in.

 

 

Hope that helps on whether to frill or not to frill.

I like the frill in the Emperor's children context, but less in the CSM one. Idk if that helps.

[Dr_Ruminahui]

Your comment was helpful, and I agree.

 

That said, that kind of works for me.  In EC, the model is part of the base army and its more important that he fit in there.  In CSM as Cypher, he's an outsider hanging out with the rest of the warband, so the slightly different look works with that.

Finally finished doing up the background for my Slaaneshi Battle Goats over in the Killteam "Knives in the Shadows" painting challenge.  You can find it here:

I found the background to be both engaging and hilarious, I especially liked the leader’s doubts, the goat names, and the anthropologist’s closing comment.

Thanks!  Yeah, having dubbed them Slaaneshi Battle Goats, I couldn't play it totally straight.  Incidentally, the shaman model actually does have an empty pistol holster despite not carrying a pistol, which brought to mind the character from Arms and the Man who stuffed his cartridge case with candies rather than ammunition - and giving bribes to have him accepted as wise seemed right for the tone I was going for.

 

Naming things what they are but in a different language has been a naming staple of mine for a while in RPGs and background fluff generation like this.  Plus, it seemed particularly on the nose for tongue in cheek tone I was going for.  Google translate is my friend.
