I used an Eldar Wraithlord as my base model for my Slaanesh Daemon Prince. I used green stuff to wrap its arms. legs , body, head and weapons in tendrils and tentacles to make it look like a Demon Prince had defeated & possessed the Wraithlord. It also felt like a fitting model to me due to the lore between the two factions.

[@Imeran]

@@wolfyboy It's called the "Let me do it for you" meme. A bit of history if you want: It seems that it originated as a parody to the song "Cellophane" by FKA Twigs. Someone sang some of the lyrics in the voice of Miss Piggy as a voicemail. That sound bit then got coupled with the backing piano from the original song. And then somehow a Borzoi dog got mixed into the meme and now we're here :D

[@wolfyboy]

@@Imeran thank you!!

[@AnimeSunglasses]

SAME! I'm gonna think of that every time i see the meme now!

[@frog8220]

This color palette goes well with my colour-blindness, there is no contrast between the hair and demons for me. But the cute dinos with their colourful backs have a lot of contrast :)

[@Alpha_nine3]

Huzzah! I knew watching an old midwinter mini's video would spawn another! Awesome painting vid too!

[@MidwinterMinis]

We always spawn when you least expect

[@brotquel1592]

I used one of the remaining riders on a chaos possessed marine conversion: the daemonette sits on his shoulders as he charges into battle, claws raised, cheering for him. What a supportive girl(?)friend!

[@MentoliptusBanko]

The colour scheme is absolutely fantastic...for Slaanesh :) Excellent work!

Please make more Tyranid kitbashes! I’ve always loved that style of characters, and whenever people kitbash Tyranids on KZbin, they almost always come out looking fantastic.

[@iamnotgonnatellyou]

I love guys painting vids cause he absolutely isn’t perfect and at times not efficient even. But he just seems to love it which got me to start painting.

[@spencer5914]

I haven’t bought or painted any miniatures for about 35 years but I love watching your vids. Maybe i’ll give it another shot some day, not that i have a clue where to begin these days!

[@goose2619]

There is simply not enough Slaanesh painting content out there, and this color scheme really brings the grotesque excess of the army to life--thank you so much for making this!!!

[@TheMrFishnDucks]

Fell out my chair laughing at the Barney skit. Keep up the good work. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

For the first comment, this is very well worded!

[@willpenn966]

@@MidwinterMinis Slaanesh demands excess in all things, including vocabulary.

[@Suzakuhelldragon]

If you have any Sisters of Battle bits lying around you can incorperate those into the HQ unit. I have a chaos sisters of battle army that is all kitbashed with slaanesh and you can do some really cool stuff by combining those together.

[@reacespieces1551]

Using a Great Unclean One as the base for the kitbash has my vote Guy.

Awesome video. Great colour scheme. These models have turned out great. Keep up the good work.

[@gregmccormack5709]

Lol that ending though. I'm excited to see the kitbash recommends and the end results.

[@tonlito22]

Absolutely get yourself a Daemon Prince and a squad of Cultists to go with. Probably use any excess Dark Eldar, Battle Sisters, or Escher bodies to pad out the remainder.

[@lonestarminis]

That was a classic MWM episode and I loved it! Guy, keep up the good work.

[@MoxAmber26]

this video genuinely makes me want to run out and nab a start collecting Slaanesh and go to town, these are eye searingly perfect

[@whatever9554]

These are gorgeous 😊 An idea though - glossy varnish over the eyes could look nice. After all, eyes aren't matte, they're moist, and gloss imitates the effect nicely

[@Comedy-Mode]

I think the Avalenor model from AoS would be an interesting basis for a daemon prince of slaanesh conversion, just change the head, shoulders and end of the hammer for something more chaosy. I am sure you will get a lot of suggestions to use Morathi for that conversion but thats a cop-out. everyone and their nan has seen that conversion.

[@captainweekend5276]

Avelenor is a bit big for a daemon prince, he'd be better for a converted keeper of secrets.

[@Amdor]

Calling walking felacio-machine a dragon with a straight face whole video - I have great respect for you.

[@schmiedolaf8598]

Glad that the good old uhu glue is still reliable

[@cheesebanditenterprises]

My idea for what you should do for the kit bash is make your own infernal enrapturess but instead of the flesh harp is some other massive instrument or maybe a metal guitar

[@jmyouknowme]

OMFG that last joke! I'm dead.

[@kyllanjode6848]

I think these slaaneshi daemons are the epitome of the word Lurid. Looking up the word in a picture dictionary would definitely bring up a reference picture of these. In other words, perfect job Guy, Slaanesh would be proud

[@MidwinterMinis]

The perfect word! Thank you!

[@dippshow]

That Barney voice over got me.

[@CommissarMitch]

When the Death Matches began I was 100% convinced who would win what battle. Now I am less sure as new codexes has appeared and new models in general. Looking forward to what the future hold

[@chester1882]

Mistakes are the greatest teachers - thanks Guy for teaching me that ;p

[@szeitlin]

Kitbash a contemptor dreadnaught into your hq, one that turned to chaos and ascended to daemonhood after being entombed in the machine. The half-corpse inside still remembered the pleasures of the flesh. and as it walked the path of chaos, slaanesh’s gifts burst through its sarcophagus and out of its iron body.

[@LizardofDoom]

Love the bravery, bright colours like that are always a risk but you made it work!

That's really cool. I wish i had that kind of painting skill and knowledge. Great work. I was planning on picking up a Army for Slaanesh but I work so much it's hard to find time to paint and do everything. I need to find someone I can commission to do that for me. Keep up the good work. I will most likely be coming back to this video when I get around to buying my Slaanesh army.

I have to admit I think the broken chariot parts add to the grimdarkness. Nothing can ever look fresh and newly made in the GRIM DARKNESS of the 41st millenium.

[@jonttopia]

Those bases were so simple yet they work really well. Well done! For the kitbashing bits, it would be cool to see your take on Fulgrim. You might need quite a lot more bits than the few left over from this tho. The Morathi khaine model has a good snake body to use as a base.

RE: the Kitbash, you should chop up the remaining bits, stick them together and do some sculpting so they look like a bunch of demons were partying and all melded together to form a great big gooey... err, being...? Like in that utterly deranged 80's movie "Society".

[@Bluecho4]

I've been thinking of how I would base my Tzeentch daemons, and considered color shifting paints. Glad to see them in action. I might just try this. (Honestly, fleshy bases like what you did on Tzeentch seem like more of a Slaanesh thing, in retrospect. Like the ground of a Slaanesh-dominated Demon World.) On another note, it's funny how Slaanesh Daemons still have their Start Collecting box for sale. Still in time for the Start Collecting Death Match, even after all these years. Slaanesh will not be denied.

Try doing a Three Paints Only challenge. Also, when you get back to retro painting, work some magic with Salamanders.

[@JRC2397]

For your demon prince I think it would be cool to take something completely normal looking and non chaos and use that as a base. I think it would be cool to see a chaos Tau battlesuit like a commander corrupted and torn apart.

That yellow banner. For a minute there I thought you where going for a Hastur reference. Which makes me wonder if Cthulhu and the Old Gods would be a Chaos or Tryanid.
