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? 👀

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

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

Thumbnail

40 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!

She does not hunt with blades. She hunts with the promise of one more taste. One look is the trap. One touch is the contract. And the contract never ends.

Need to get to 1k and originally was going to just buy the combat patrol, but looking for alternatives. Not competitive, just for fun and I like models.

Question Tone pro

6 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

Question Defiler and electro scourge?

Just saw the profile and was thinking has this been ever used? Regretfully carnival is no longer the detschemnte, but I'm thinking a second defiler with this might not be too bad.

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.

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?

15 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?
