Chaos Slaneesh General
Posted: 11 Jan 2009, o 00:46
I was sat busily chopping up Space Marines to make the rider for the Chopper bike I posted a while ago when I got to thinking about an army leader.
I'm mostly making a shopping list for components at the moment since I haven't got a clear idea of what models I want to buy. What I do want is for my general to set the theme for the army which is a depraved, pink and blue affair, obsessed with the sensual (not necessarily the sexual) who look and act far more fragile than they really are.
My idea is to have a daemon or mutated character for the general, with a centaur form. He'd be bigger than other normal troop characters, but not as large as Greater Daemons and the like. He should be androgynous looking, but male and can be a composite of different miniatures. If possible, he should be wearing some floaty clothes too.
For his base, I've got a clearer notion. I need to get some miniatures that are, or look like, Space Marine Scouts. They are the general's 'lap dogs' and he'd be holding them on leashes. The Scouts would be painted in normal chapter colours too, they're prisoners not converts... yet. The base itself would be a small hill I think, scattered with all sorts of decadent rubbish.
I'm hoping that my description is clear enough and that people can help me out with this one. It's not often I get this clear an idea for a conversion I want to do.
Oh, and it's worth noting that I'm a rubbish sculptor so I wouldn't be able to build parts from scratch. My sculpting skill is limited to filling gaps, really.
