John is confirming he is a bit Slaanesshy as he has a look over the Daemonettes of Slaanesh. These girls are the main troop choice for anybody that's looking a Slaanesh themed list. The kit is full plastic and contains 10 Daemonettes. So have a look at what John has to say for this kit.

I know that many people hate these particular versions of the Daemonettes. I have no problem with the child friendliness of them, however i do think like the Seekers they have rather static feel to them, which is a shame.
I’m sure that a more striking/dancing like pose could have been achieved along the lines of the previous metal models or indeed the Wood Elf Wardancer’s or Eldar Harlequin models?
John, your previous emotional trauma is showing 😉
Thanks for the unboxing, I think if and when I get tempted by the ruinous powers, I’ll go down the Slaaneshi route. 🙂
Pretty much ever GW kit has numbers beside parts that fit together on the other side of the sprue from the gates John. :p Once you know that you pretty much have to go out of your way to mess it up. 🙂
They’re nice but its the same problem with the horrors, it feels like they’ve taken away a little bit of the character in making them more realistic.
I don’t like Chaos and especially Demon models to begin with, but in this case, I think the old metal Demonettes looked much better, and, to be completely honest, I think these models look terrible. Slaneesh represents the terrible seduction of the sins of the flesh, and the devilishly enticing malice that was the previous incarnation of demonettes portrayed that image much more efficiently than these ugly hags. That being said, I am glad that GW decided to go with a more appropriate image for the demonettes. I’m not a child, but I am a Christian wargamer (please don’t hate,… Read more »
Lame jokes aside, those are some nice sculpted models.
Just wanted to again make a small point of the fact that it’s ‘Slaanesh’ and not ‘Slaneesh’. As you might already expect, these are perhaps my least favourite plastic models in the GW range, and its not even neccesarily because of their own quality (which is poor, however). As has been mentioned, Daemonettes are meant to look disturbingly attractive, and represent seduction and sin. The 6th ed metal ones were spot on, because although they were modelled to look attractive, the fact that they had thick tentacled hair, chitinous arm-blades (very Tyranid-esque, I found), horns, and an inordinate number of… Read more »

Just a tip for everyone here wanting to make a nice looking even if abit expensive combine them with the eldar harlequin legs
Servants of the god of hedonism should be hedonistic. I for one want the disturbing/erotic/disturbing old metal minis back, they where SO much better then these plastic PG Hags.
Me to, I want the old torture garden(wiki it) nephrops honeys back.
I tried wiking it (lexicanum and 40kwiki) but no results..?

think he may mean an S+M club night in london 😉
Nephrops :The Norway lobster, Nephrops norvegicus, is a slim, orange-pink lobster which grows up to 24 centimetres (9.4 in) long.[2] It is now the only species in the genus Nephrops, several other species having been moved to the genus Metanephrops. N. norvegicus is found in the north-eastern Atlantic Ocean and North Sea as far north as Iceland and northern Norway, and south to Portugal. It is not common in the Mediterranean Sea except in the Adriatic Sea,[3] notably the north Adriatic.[4] The species is also called the Dublin Bay prawn, langoustine (compare langostino) or scampi (Italian: scampo singular, scampi plural).… Read more »
Hell-yes Torture Garden is now officially on my list of Slaneesh inspiration material. Are these the Nephrops you where talking about?

I think he means the really old Daemonettes
http://www.solegends.com/citcat912/c20254rcdaemonettes-m.htm
they even came with Prawn tales.
as a rule I normally like the new plastic minis over the old metals, but these are an exception. there not bad, but there not better.
The previous metal Daemonettes were spot on, splendid models with mobility and character.
These are simply not good.
personallly i can’t wait for the island of blood unboxing!!!!!!!!
These daemonettes aren’t bad…I mean if you compare them to the old old metals they are pretty good.
The only problem is that the previous metals, regardless of if you felt the represented Daemonettes correctly or not, were pretty much the nicest models GW ever produced, and this kit is the cause of their removal from sale. So it’s bound to take some flak for that.
The previous metal were ideal they even incorporated feral fertility depictions in the form of multiple breasts. And most importantly metal was the ideal medium to carry such detail, plastic cannot do undercuts so the female form must somehow be covered to hide such limitations. I could compare the new plastics with the old old metals and the metal sculpts would win because they had character (though I can’t say they aged well), comparing them to the second sculpts they would win, because the second metal sculpts were a joke, but the problem is the third metal sculpts were so… Read more »
this vid reminds me of the sons of dorn noval i read a while back. those scouts has a realy hard time killing the deamons
ratherlargedagger I think the 89 honeys were the kinkiest http://www.solegends.com/citcat89/c890225chaosldemons-m.htm 😉
To be honest, these received a lot of flak when the first sneak peaks came out, but then when they were painted people liked them more. I agree that they do seem a little bland in terms of positioning, but the detail is actually quite good. What I hate most is that you have to give a specific leg to a specific body (of which there is no warning and, unlike cazboab’s comment, they don’t have any numbering for pairing them up) and, in particular, the tiny joints between the top of the arm and the rest of said arm… Read more »
I think they look better now then they did before. + They really match up with the newest version of the bloodletters. I have recently finished assembling and painting these slaanesh girls. (only the banner needs to be done, cant think of something to put on it yet) Quick assembling(legs were a bit tricky,) and quick to paint for me aswell, (im not a fast painter im to picky and redo a lot), but i got a unit of 10 done in a few hours of time. (instead of 1 model in 2 or 3 hours) And a big plus… Read more »
