Ok first of, as you can probably gather from the name this may be not appropriate for searching while at work. But I believe that
1) This forum is mature enough not to turn this into a joke
And
2)That this forum is mature enough to understand that this is most certainly not an attempt to sexualise miniatures

What follows however is a how to for replicating the daemonette style of "breast" for your slaaneshi marines.



There is a dirth of 40k artwork for slaanesh which implies that slaanesh gifts his followers in various ways and my currently WIP slaanesh army really attempts to re-kindle some of the heavy 80s slaanesh artwork. I dont think any of the artistic cues I've decided to use are particularly offensive, but consider this fair warning.

If your game enough to continue then I hope you find this useful, while I am illistrating the technique on marines there is no reason it would not work on other armoured torso's such as fantasy chaos warriors or particular chaos cultist base models.

1) To start with take a marine torso with a bare chest area. This photo shows a marine that I am recycling into a noise marine and I have shaved of a single wing leaving the other side to be "blessed", harkening back to the GW daemonette models.

2) Take a small ball of greenstuff 2-3 mm diameter (Stealing the idea of using the ruler from york)

9040

3) Let the ball dry so that it is slightly sticky and attach it lightly to the armour in roughly the center of the smoothed chest area.

9041

4) Using the tip of a tooth pick like a rolling pin Very gently the top parts of the ball down to the armour so that the ball is weighted towards the bottom.

9042

5) Take a thin roll of greenstuff

9043

6) Place the roll around the edge of the ball.

9044

(as you will see the length chosen below is too short, however it is better to add material than attempt to take it away)

9045

7) Smooth the ring down into the armour, leaving the lip untouched. NB:I used a very fine edged tool (made by cutting the tip of a tooth pick in half) to smooth the roll between the "breast" and the skull emblem.

9046

Note: At this stage the tutorial splits, you can choose to do a number of finishing touches that I will cover in my next post, or you can leave the area as is to really go for that weird what the!? vibe. This will continue in the next post.

OK!

Continuing, lets get the details out of the way.

Firstly, the obvious one, Nipples.

1) Take a very small piece of greenstuff

9050

2) Let it dry a little bit and place it gently on the "breast" in an appropriate position.

9048

3) Gently flatten the small ball out and tidy up the edges with the point of your tooth pick

9049

Next up we have what I can only really refer to as the Zaraknyel special

1) This technique basically just involves repeating the same method for the "nipple" in various places on the breast (Or it could be a REALLY "blessed" noise marine)

9051

And finally we have the less confrontational armour curl as seen on GWs daemonettes.

1) Take a thin roll of greenstuff and cut it to the length of your choice (4 mm or so is good)

9059

2) Let the greenstuff dry a little again then attach one end to the lip of the breast armour and curl the other one over the breast in such that if covers the appropriate area.

9058

3) Using your toothpick like a rolling pin (or pressing gently with a flat edge) flatten the roll of greenstuff

NB: Tidy up the edges with the point of your tooth pick and smooth the roll into the ring around the breast so that it looks like a single piece.

9054

And there you have it. As always here is the technique used on a few other miniatures. Please ignore the various WIP paint I have been trying to find a scheme that I like for my Slaaneshi army.

While a very nice tutorial with plenty of uses, the combination of those two things makes my brain not work.

HAHA Cheers man, and yeah the idea is for it to be rather disturbing
