Brace yourself for Slaaneshchild's naughty leader month

 

So last but not least as one says, I keep my leader month for the end as I wanted to have the time to think about my leaderS.

I was sure to have 2 daemon princes. One "middlehammer" and one contemporary. But I needed something special for my mortals/dark elves. 

Something big with slaves, worshipers, prestige.

But before I started anything, as I was organizing the "Warhammer 5th edition day in Paris, I had to paint for terrain for it. I wanted to build a deep "dark wood".

I've bought Frostgrave's trees, one tree of despair from Reaper miniatures and some resin scenery and I tried to make a nice little wood.

On this picture you have all the trees I made, for this OWAC, not only this month

Then I made my daemon Prince. I started with Zal'Guldugh, The Master of Flesh. He will be leading the fiends of Slaanesh. I already have 6, and I made 6 more fiends for this month. A full herd !

Since the beginning,  I wanted to make him the army standard bearer. I love the idea of a daemon prince bearing in combat the personal banner of its god.

I love the contrast between the image of gruesome torture on the banner and the expression of calm of the other girl at his feet.

I also painted 6 fiends to build up his herd

Then I made another daemon prince, he is made with the modern miniature of Syll'Esske, which I don't really like, so I added wings to him. They are from an old Ral Partha Dragon.

Some succubus, some servant... et voilà !

Then I thought about the leader I needed for my mortals/dark elves. I love the idea of the palanquin. It is alway a fantastic miniature to play and paint. I recently noticed the palanquin of the Emperor Dragon from LotR, a forge world model. So I ordered it, and I used an Artel Miniature for my leader. It is a slave master (count as dark eldar) with a head of the daemonette and a shield of a Slaanesh choosen.

I also changed the heads of the warrior bearing the palanquin to make them more Slaaneshi. I wanted to put some slaves and servants on it but it was a bit to small and I think with this kind of miniature it is good to choose the focus. To me the focus should stay on my lord, Daevna, the majestic one.

The banner is made by the godlike hands of Roberth Beresus.

But what king of lord of Slaanesh would she be without a horde of servants and warriors ready to die for her ?

So I decided to make dark elves witch elves. I had another regiment to paint and one week left... so I decided to make them part of this army.

And then...

Finaly....

The entire month !!!!! Behold the horde :)

Next month, I will do the banners, I am going to draw them and paint them... will see if I can manage that !!
