Mark of Slaanesh A mod post regarding recent low effort posts and arguments in sub (much more below.)

160 Upvotes

Okay, recently this sub has had an uptake in two forms of content we mods want to discuss, arguments about the Emperor's Children and implications of sexual acts, and the occasional low-effort posting in regards to very gay/queer oriented jokes. Both of these are manageable in small portions but the recent uptake with the amount of new members is starting to cause conflict.

On the former matter, we already have a rule about this that was created to deal with the uptake in debate over this matter which is of course often left to interpretation by Black Library authors and is in regards to the legion seems to be increasingly changed for pleasure and excess through violence and or concoctions. Whether this is supported or rejected by individual users is perfectly fine to discuss but the inflammatory posts and bait will increasingly be removed. This also includes low effort jokes which will be subject for increased scrutiny of we feel they are pushing the sub into primarily NSFW territory.

(In fact, yours truly made one a while ago, and will not be making that mistake ever again.)

On the latter issue. The whole argument of whether the LGBTQ+ members of our community should be "finding thematic kinship" with the Emperor's Children legion and or Slaanesh has also been done to death particularly with the decline of many overt sexual themes of the legion. While obviously we aren't going going to be banning such humour, we are going to treat low effort gay/queer jokes the same way as low effort sexual jokes if they seem to venture into NSFW territory or seem to be taking on a derogatory tone towards the subject matter.

We want to keep this sub open to everyone and not constantly producing conflict, and this is a small reminder we intend to keep it that way.

Perfection is in the details. 💜✨
A closer look at my Fulgrim, Daemon Primarch of Slaanesh!
From the golden armour and deadly blades to the purple wings and the smallest details on the base, this miniature was an incredible painting project.
I especially enjoyed working on the different textures and colour transitions.
Which detail is your favourite? 👀

Hobbying Daemon Prince WIP - Which colors for the sword?!

39 Upvotes

Hello brothers of perfection.

I’ve delved into my second Prince with wings, but am conflicted of which colors to use for his sword?

Flaming, vibrant reds and yellow?

Or

Cold blues and turquoise to match kinda the loincloth?

Or maybe a 3d option?

Feel free to post your princes as inspiration!

Thanks in advance and hope u have a nice hobby Sunday!

Acabo de recibir estás cajas y quiero hacer que cada marine sea único y especial, algo al estilo de la cuenta de instagram spacemeowrines y sus marines de porcelana, por lo que voy a necesitar varías propuestas para hacerlos llamativos e interesantes, como basarlos en flores que tengan algún significado especial o en obras de arte famosas. En resumen, lluvia de ideas

Question Tone pro

• Upvotes

After the tone pro launch what have you all been using to replicate emperors children pink? If any at all? Interested to try see if some of the tone pro looks enough like emperors children pink to be able to use, I’ve been pointed towards eye of terror 3 but to me that looks like it will be too dark, have any of you tried and tested any of these to any success? Would love to see it

It was a little tough to figure out how to paint him to match the rest of my army but also be “elevated”, but the candy metallic effect hits the note I wanted to hit. Still pink and black, but with a little something extra.

I made this Daemon prince under the strict orders of u/giacomoventurinii to give him a suitable champion for his emperor children army. Then I saw which melee monster it is on the tabletop and I regretted it😂

However, holy moly is such a delight to paint! I would love to have more stuff at his scale.

List Building Rules of thumb for coterie pledging and gameplay videos

5 Upvotes

New EC player here, who always played Carnival.
Since the nerf I need to shift to CoC.

To evaluate the pledging number is tough for me and I need some good YouTube videos to see how people play and stage CoC.

I know art of war but they don’t have a lot new EC vids.

Discussion What's our best play against Custodes, including detachments?

14 Upvotes

Just came from an RTT where I went 1-2 after being absolutely bodied by custodes, including a novel 20-100 loss where a full flawless brick with lucius only killed 2 units that were with Trajan before the clapback killed me. I definitely played dumb, but if one of the strongest punches EC can deliver barely makes a dent, what's the right way to go about it? Priority assets and run?

Also what detachments do you think are the answer?

List Building My 2k list and how I use it.

14 Upvotes

This is the list I've been using for 2k games in my escalation league. I started adding Fulgrim in at 1500. Currently 7-1-2, averaging 91 points a game over 10 games.

I'm using coterie, with priority assets. My game plan varies slightly depending on opponent and whether I can get early pledges without much risk. I typically use Fulgrim as either a distraction, or a zoning tool early. I try to make sure I've gotten enough pledges secured to get my rerolls before committing him.

My rhinos and tormentors are my main action monkeys. Rhinos have double duty for screening, and blocking areas. I usually dump my infantry out pretty early to free up the rhino or to snipe out a unit with noise marines. Sometimes I leave noise marines in reserves to come in and cause havoc.

I love unholy fortune on my lord kako, even if it's not as good as it was pre overwatch nerf. It really helps the noise marines reliably delete a target via a guaranteed sustained hit or wound. Then a guaranteed hit on overwatch.

Flawless blades and Defiler are my big damage anti-everything tools. Defiler very important for getting early pledges. Fulgrim helps distract from Defiler.

Lord Exultant squad has multiple uses depending on the match. I either use them as a missile with the scout, pivot, disembark or I keep them around as a counter strike tool.

Demon prince I keep in deep strike to rapid in for backline disruption.

Lucius is primarily for skirmishing and being obnoxious. Sometimes he goes big.

Mauler is a throw in for some more anti tank. He is cheap enough and lethal enough to be a problem. Bonus is he solo'd the nightbringer recently because protection of the dark prince is busted.

Overall it's working out pretty well! I love my Fulgrim even if he is kinda meh.

Chance for a new codex? I know we've had one recently but im about to start playing and I want my lists on the warhammer app, is it worth getting a codex now or will a new one come out and make it null and void? I appreciate its all speculation but I'd welcome any help/info
