havok100 Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 hey yo, this is the little guy i've been workjing on today. FRONT VIEW http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g68/havok100/Picture010.jpg SIDE-ISH VIEW http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g68/havok100/Picture006.jpg Now the question at hand is, what do I do to arm this dude with? Note that a cool looking model is more important to me than what it would count as in the game. I was thinking a sword of some sort in the right hand, and a spear in the shield hand. For the spear, I have these two infront of me, this Dudes Glaive and the beastmaster spear. I have NO idea at all for the sword though, so speak up. Oh ya, and I got no idea how I'm gonna base him either. :wacko: Comments, criticisms and advice are not just appreciated, but needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Q- Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 ...I got nothin'... but I wanted to say he looks cool! =) Good pose, lots of character! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy40k Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 I'd use the blade that comes with the steed rider. -Legacy40k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnum_opera Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 I like the Slanneshi spear better than the Beastmaster one. For a sword, I'd go with something elegant - like this: http://ca.games-workshop.com/storefront/st...1138&orignav=13. Although this Witch King's sword might look cool too - http://ca.games-workshop.com/storefront/st...2033&orignav=13. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Artimum Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Why not go for 1 weapon and leave the shield on for coolness I would say use the bolt pistol arm (The Extended One) and put the Slannesh champion on foots sword on the end of it. If you leave the shield leave a holsterd pistol :angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsabre Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Is that a Tzeentch symbol on the shoulder pad? Would be kind of strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master of Sanctity Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 I'd honestly use an Eldar Sword...you know add insult to injury etc etc. "I'm going to kill you with your own sword then steal your soul for Slaanesh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asmondeus Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 looking cool :blink: maybe somthing like this for the sword Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NAVARRO Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 how about doing something really chaotic? like since he is from god of pain and sufering/pleasure 2 balls of spikes but instead of of balls use heads or skulls full of spikes... just an idea and is a simple convo.

Deacoknight Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Is that a Tzeentch symbol on the shoulder pad? Would be kind of strange. It's actually an Emperor's Children shoulder pad. I'd say arm him with a whip that coils around his body. Or maybe a barbed net like the gladiators used (would fit the whole Chemos Gladitorial contests theme). -D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foolio_Displasius Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 That's a rockin' cool head... I may gank that for the Slaanesh stuff in my "X Gamers" army! As for weapons, I can't find the Dark Eldar netter anymore, but you might try one of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Gothard Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Firstly, cool model! Second, I'll have to agree with Magnum Opera: use an elegant weapon - rapier or a peircing weapon over a hacking / bludgeoning weapon, as Slaneesh is often associated with martial perfection. The witch king's sword looks like the perfect candidate, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jokersminis Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 I like the current look, perhaps placing the sword behind the shield ala TROY, and the let him carry a suitably elegant spear/halbard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Angelus Sanctus Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 First off, very nice work on the model :huh: Secondly, weapon wise, ill be jumping on the elegant rapier/sword like weapon as i think that would work very well with 1. the model as a whole and 2. the general background for Slaanesh. And even if you find a pewter sword, that isnt very elegant looking, you can try bending it back slightly (its what i did with the sword for the KoS) and it actually looks alot better.

Aquilla Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 One of the mordheim pit fighters has a net that would suit, especially with Jokers idea of the sword behind the shield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domani Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 I take it predator turned to slaanesh then ....... He looks awesome but! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venerable Jazzman Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 The Pit Fighter sprues might have something for you, as Aquilla said. Like the look of the scythe for starters.. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graywolf Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Take a look at the Severina sword in the Inquisitor range....elegant blade, DP size... http://store.us.games-workshop.com/storefr...&ItemNav=301029 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorin Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 try the dark elves range of sprues (I don't have time now to dig my bit box now and I don't remember wich ones vthe swords are on :angry: ) I love the model ;) but I have one smal comment: maybe you should try to model the hair a litle more to the front. For me he has enormously big forehead or seems bolding... other than that great job:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemal Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 The way I see it, Slaanesh is more concerned with experiences than perfection, and hence a spikey and very painful sword/spear/halberd is best (!)..Heres a set of codes I think might work.. 9947021204305 - Dark Elf assasin sword 9947021205302 - Dark Elf Executioner Champion sword 9947021205304 - Executioner s Standard (maybe have him holding aloft a banner to the Dark Gods?) 9947021205703 - Beastmaster spear 9947021205704 - Beastmaster whip 9947021204209 - Beastmaster on Manticore Spear 9947021010102 - Prince Tyrion Sword arm 9947021010506 - Phoenix Guard Halberd 9947021011404 - high Elf Hero sword 9947020804804 - Kroq Gar spear 9947020707802 - Manfred Von Carstein sword 9947020115703 - Bel A'Kor sword 9947020114203 - Lord of Tzeentch spear 9947020110808 - Keeper of Secrets sword (he could use this like a broad-sword?)

Mutt Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 I think a big honkin' sword would be appropriate for this guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hertz Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 cant you make a sword out of the beastamsters weapon? just remove the rod and usse the blade.... it would look wicked... :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ardus Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 How about this sword: Inq Eldar Ranger Ardus. Oh ya, by the way great work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ap0k Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Many apologies for plugging my own work, but how about something like this? Consists of 2 Khemri Casket Guard Swords, a few pin heads, a long metal rod, and the mace head from the WHFB Chaos Warrior boxed set. Along with a little basic greening.
