So. Being a Slaanesh man (Apparently) John opens up the new plastic Seekers of Slaanesh set to see just how they have improved over the older models. And John certainly seems impressed. So let's have a look at one of the nicest kits to come out of Games Workshop (In Johns mind)

SWEEEEEEEET and … 1st post i guess…
im defiently usin these for fast attack
maybe one big unit and id use a herald on one 😀
I disagree with John on the Daemonette pose’s.
Surely something like the metal models they have replaced would have been better?
Yes they are Daemons, but regardless they just look unbalanced as models, and it looks like lazy sculpting to me.
Saying that, a small amount of cutting and re-sculpting will easily resolve that issue and the new steeds are pretty awesome looking 🙂
They look amazing. Can’t wait to get my hands on them for my 40k army. 20 of them should be enough i guess to make ppl go “WTF!!” XD.
I think I might start a fantasy army around these guys! Nice review John is there a way you can post your paint job, because I am sure they will turn out awesome.
I’m personally not a fan of the legs on the deamonettes, otherwise they’re awesome
OH YEAAAAAA!
The mounts wil be perfect for Dark elves dark riders or imperial guard rough riders, with a little make up
Incredible… this detail is sweet, hope this is the definite new direction of GW’s design. Multi-part plastics with amazing detail….just no more ooops’s like the Minotaurs!
For me the plastic daemonettes just can’t compete with the metals they came in to replace, though I know there are many who feel the new ones better represent what a daemonette should look like, in terms of sculpt and design alone the metals were just brilliant.
That said the steeds, banners, trumpet and giant champion claws of this set are utterly stunning, and what with being plastic much better for conversion work like making slaanesh chariots.
I really like these models. While I have to agree I would have loved to see some kind of “speed” (not drugs, you silly Slaanesh worshippers, stay away!) in the positions of the models I can understand where they got this look about those poses. In the old Realm of Chaos books (which is the source of recent Chaos Daemons model style) the artwork actually depicts these Daemonettes on the Steeds to sit like these models do. I would have liked some speed in the models as I said, but when the mounts don’t look like they’re running I think… Read more »
It’s not prnounced ‘Sla – neesh’. It’s not spelt that way either. ‘Sla-nesh’. Elongate the ‘a’ sound, if anything, sinc’e it’s spelt ‘Slaanesh’. Onto the kit, then. It’s utterly vile, in my opinion. A travesty that could not insult the ‘memory’ of the previous metal sculpts any more if it tried. First of all, it carries on the style of the Daemonette plastic kit, which like this one, is a massive leap down in quality from the 6th ed metals. Say whatever you like about them being ‘more true to what Slaanesh is’, or any such nonsense, but the fact… Read more »
Hey mate relax on how people pronounce things you dont need to correct folk on it and rage over it as lets face it were hear to look at an unboxing not take a english corse, And dont forget GW write all the fluff so they decide what is and isnt true to fluff i mean they could turn around to us guys and say hey heres what happened the warp suddenly went backwards and slaanesh changed he/she/its name to dave and is now the god of the orks while sigmar tears apart the boundaries of reality to become the… Read more »
Well, first off, it is obvious from the spelling of Slaanesh that John’s pronunciation is wrong. I do feel that you may be interpreting more anger in my comments on that than there is. I just like things to be pronounced correctly. And to my knowledge, GW have never changed it. Additionally, we don’t need to be on an ‘English course’ to spell and pronounce words correctly – just because this is the internet doesn’t mean standards of language need to drop. Whether or not one could or would make a fluff argument about the appearence of the Daemonettes, it… Read more »
I didn’t say that just because this is over the internet we have to instantly drop our standards i just saw your comment on the spelling and pronouncing as unnecessary, and part of the fun of plastics is giving you the chance to make good conversions and bring some individuality into the game and you have to remember mate plastics are much harder to create detailed interesting poses with than metals just purely due to casting processes and also remember that GW have to be fairly fast about there releases to keep things fresh and up to date so going… Read more »
Firstly, you don’t need to make excuses for GW. You say they don’t have enough time to ‘go into detail’ while at the time praising the level of detail on these models? Contradiction. Somehow, I think that if they had spent the time making the models fit the unit, rather than overloading them with tiny details that just make them more difficult to paint and are barely seen (as is increasingly the case), they might have done better out of it. If what I’ve put is trolling in the ‘community’s eyes’, then I wonder how much I’d want to be… Read more »
Ant-eaters from hell!
we’re all DOOMED!!!!!
Mixed feelings about this kit. I like the Steeds and the detail of the kit is very good over all, but the riders don’t look very dynamic to me. Not sure when GW changed the Slaanesh Icon but I wish they would change it back to the old one.
He is talking about daemonets being tight and crisp
I like the models, but as has been said above – why didn’t they use more dynamics? These girls especially are supposed to be lightning fast. Orc boar boyz look great in this respect. They look good, but could look even better.
Sweeeeet they will look gorgeous in my Daemons army 😀
