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.

THAT FINAL MOMENT! I can die happy. Now to start a Slaanesh whipped hybrid army.

Getting Christophe to design a logo for you is a whole new level of awesome, almost matching that of the paint scheme you got going on here. Awesome work!!!

[@MidwinterMinis]

[@emilefortier1688]

Every time you post a video I hope it's start collecting deathmatch, but building up the hype with a video on how to paint these beautiful models is the next best thing!

Yeah, me too! The games are good fun to make, only 3 armies to paint now, whew!

[@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]

[@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 :)

[@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!

[@Alpha_nine3]

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

[@MidwinterMinis]

The colours are so wonderfully vibrant! I just love it! Also did you really expect to bring an army of she-who-thirsts into life, without a little bit of torture for trying to be perfect?

Thanks, Guy! i always love your videos and cant wait to see these demons in action!

Me too! Their new rules might struggle against the mighty Leman Russ, but we'll see

[@Springtrap11556]

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.

[@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.

[@jfisherm8]

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!

[@TheMrFishnDucks]

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

[@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!!!

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

6:25 “It was at this moment, Guy knew he f***ed up”

[@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.

[@lucasupright]

I am painting up an army of Lust Daemons and was thinking of this exact color scheme.

[@Stayedforthecat]

I love the bright color schemes there my favorite

[@DavidHesselfeldt]

They look amazing! Love your videos!

[@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.

[@IEatSocks02]

it makes my day when you post

[@gregmccormack5709]

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

[@03dashk64]

“Let me do it for you” My actual favorite stupid meme of all time

[@eastoforion]

the green on the dragons is soooo good

[@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

[@davidnandrin8825]

Wow, excellent ! My eyes hurt but my brain likes it ! Bravo !

[@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.

[@Amdor]

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

[@piscinaiv7937]

[@hrzhrz1]

Sisters of battle Arco flagellants! You know that would make an excellent Slaanesh demon prince.

[@MentoliptusBanko]

AAAAWWWW, GOLDEN AXE !!! Thanks a million for reminding me of that game

[@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!

[@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

Keep up the good work. I will most likely be coming back to this video when I get around to buying my Slaanesh army.

[@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.
