Can you come up with a concept for a Female Slaanesh Champion (40k or AoS) that doesnt involve sex or gluttony?
Greed.
Limp body with rigor mortis smile that dangles and walks around on tendrils made of razor wire that extend from neck and spine
Sensualism. Non-sexual sensualism.
Sexuality is only one element of human sensation.
Hardcore narcotics, extremes of visual and auditory stimuli, intense emotions, etc.
This is always how I'd do a Slaaneshi Sister of Battle. She's religious. VERY religious. The smell of incense, the high trills of the sopranos with the low rumbles of the baritones. The scattering of light through stained glass. The sweet sense of smug masochistic degradation as she abases herself before the altar. You could throw in a nod to more overt 'whips and chains' depending on how you handled the mortification of the flesh, but given we're actively avoiding sex I'd effectively make her more of a self-harmer/punisher, perhaps she's chasing the 'thrill' of having stigmata.
I suppose she's a Noise Sister crossed with a Word Bearer, if I had to summarise quickly.
Chaos Repentia who revels in pain and bloodshed sounds good.
Along the lines of that "we are not the same" meme:
You purge the unworthy to make them dead.
I purge the unworthy to feel ... oh, SO alive.
WANTS.
Works for the Ecclesiarchy AND Khorne, (not so) funnily enough!
>Can you come up with a concept for a Female Slaanesh Champion (40k or AoS) that doesn’t involve sex or gluttony /tg/?
Kindness?
Sweet (Grand)Motherly type who wants to kill or convert you because a quick annihilation is more merciful than this agonizing existence?
>Works for the Ecclesiarchy AND Khorne, (not so) funnily enough!
I always assert that Khorne would be the most likely ally of the Imperium due to loving bloodshed over all else.
>Vanity. Make it a lady, a governour, a senator, a politican, a noblewoman, a socialite.
Ax’senaea the Thrice-Possessed right here; A woman so vain she bound a Keeper of Secrets to her own Soul to siphon its power, succeeded, and proceeded to do this TWO MORE TIMES before Slaanesh made her a Daemon Princess.
>Secretary. She is obsessed with organizing absolutely everything.
Could work, but also pretty easy prey for Tzeentchians FRICKING WITH HER SYSTEM!!!
>Greed. A corrupted Rogue Trader decked in gold and israeliteels and obsessed with hoarding more. Even her flagship is gilded. She explodes entire planets so that she could easily strip mine all the gold from the remaining asteroids.
Problem here is we now have the Votann who do just that...
>Sloth. This is, admittedly, not a very easy sin for a combat-based character to embody. Make it an alpha-plus psyker who's so strong that she can get anything she wants by just thinking about it. As a result, over the years she gave up on moving at all and literally grew into her comfy levitating sofa, only ever opening her mouth to eat.
And Sloth also kinda falls under Nurgle, there was a theory that it was a demonization of Depression.
Khorne would let some wimpy homosexual steal whats his
ULTIMATE TSUNDERE!!!
>A fallen Techpriestess who seeks to attain absolute physical perfection
Could also be a Biologis who tries this via biology.
You know, the whole "wholesome daemonette" meme was a lot funnier back in the old days when the daemonette minis still had breasts on display and /tg/ was constantly flooded with Slaanesh porn.
It was never funny. The whole idea sucks and reeks of reddit.
>the old days when the daemonette minis still had breasts on display and /tg/ was constantly flooded with Slaanesh porn.
It was a better time...
>Wasn't there a cannon female Slaanesh daemon prince who was so arrogant she absorbed multiple Keepers of Secrets until Slaanesh itself noticed her?
Yep, Ax’senaea the Thrice-Possessed.
Isn't that the egg-obsessed female church organizer from Moral Orel?
Never actually seen the show in all these years. If it gives you a good framework you can grasp for the character, run with it by all means.
You really should Anon, it's p. good.
That looks more like Khorne than Slaanesh though...
Mad artist that paints daemons and shit which come to life.
Dancer with a big fricking sword whose supernatural speed lets her dodge bullets and cannons while mowing through blocks of infantry.
>Mad artist that paints daemons and shit which come to life.
I love this. Especially if the model depicted a half-formed daemon springing out of the canvas.
Every time someone brings up this as a concept. Every. Damn. Time. Fricking song.
I was thinking Adeline from Kirby
>Fricking song
That's a weird ass tune to have sex to but thanks for sharing.
>Mad artist that paints daemons and shit which come to life.
based
>Mad artist that paints daemons and shit which come to life.
I always like the art comes to life power, especially when it's not flesh sculpting or growing people in a tank, but full Pygmalion style carving a statue out of stone or painting a picture.
There is a character in Project Neural Cloud who is a full on Slaneeshi cult magus who loves carving sculptures. In her backstory, her art exhibitions caused much mental distress to viewers so her parent company had to cancel her tours.
Money hoarding nobleman, potentially with a liquid gold demon monsterpet
Sharpshooter, dedicating their very existence to landing seemingly impossible shots. Vindicare 2.0. Combining perfectionist obsession with pride.
King Midas would be a Slaan champion of greed
Harpagon would be Slaaneshi, Midas would be Tzeentchian, with the whole transmutation thing he had going on.
Midas would be Slaaneshi.
Having obsession about gold and riches that leads to self destruction is most Slaaneshi thing ever.
Few people remember that there are different endings to the story of Midas, like the one where he tried to eat and couldn't, so he rushed back to the god and begged to take the gift back and was forgiven.
Midas was greedy, not subversive. Transmutation was just a means to his excesive need for wealth and splendor
"J-Pop Idol" obsessed with perfecting their craft (singing). Same works for a ballerina / dancer, mathematician / scientist, artist or even a comedian. A serial killer / manipulator that focuses on the torture, not so much sexual as visceral pleasure (if you'll forgive the pun).
>J-Pop Idol
>doesn’t involve sex
Anon...
Eh, fair, but the chaos part of their whole shtick doesn't. They don't want to become the most beautiful/sexy, they want to control the masses with their voice. Totally different.
>female
>doesn't involve sex
is this some kind of obtuse troony baiting?
Noise marines and Cenobites. You want to impose conditions like sex, but divorced of sexuality and you're on a fools errand or baiting.
>You want to impose conditions like sex
He said no such thing
yes he did he said a female slaanesh champion
female is a sex
>has to be female, but divorced from sex
I mean, that's an oxymoron and OP is oxymaroon
Vanity. Make it a lady, a governour, a senator, a politican, a noblewoman, a socialite.
>that doesn’t involve sex
GW are doing their hardest to remove sexually attractive things from the two settings, no need to do their work for them
GW:s settings have always been essentially sexless. In official materials you'll find at most hints of romance, and army books have never contained anything sexualized. Slaanesh being the sex god is a fan thing stemming from the Juan Diaz daemonette models being hot for the time. Slaanesh has always been a god/goddess of excess in all its form, of a good thing, any good thing, taken way too far.
Yeah lmao, the bikini dark elfs were never sexy, and neither were elven slave girls
NTA, but while you're right the sexiness was never the point, even when they've had bare breasts (see: REALLY old daemonettes, before Diaz, and Morathi for instance). I recently converted some (admittedly modern) witch elves to daemonettes, and compared to Raging Heroes (who are admittedly all about T&A) they're less blatantly wankbait.
>The sex elves and sex demons and leather sex nuns were never about sex. No way media for a primarily men centric hobby would have any sex in it 30 years ago!
You purple haired apes are deep in the cope.
Even things like the slave girls on Vect's pimpmobile weren't really sexualization, it was just a power statement from an arrogant jerk who knew he could bring his pets to a fight because he was just that superior.
Blanche’s concept art is filled to the brim with women in gimp and bdsm leather gear you disingenous revisionist contrarian tourist moron.
It's especially funny because in interviews he faked righteous anger at sexualised arts that gave the females huge asses and boobs while it couldn't be clearer that he personally had a fetish for flat chests.
Pinhead.
Secretary. She is obsessed with organizing absolutely everything.
Make him but female. A schemer that travels the country to frick around until she finds someone that is worth stealing shit from, most likely with convoluted schemes and planning to hit where it really hurts.
>but scheming is tzeentch!
Untrue and flanderized take. The character specifically does it to get smug satisfaction and prove superiority.
Drug abuse
>Female Slaanesh Champion (40k or AoS) that doesn’t involve sex or gluttony /tg/?
Music, OP.
Hell, they've already made a female Slaanesh musician mini for AoS.
Why for AoS? All daemons are shared between the systems.
Nope.
Yep, no games.
https://wahapedia.ru/wh40k9ed/factions/chaos-daemons/Infernal-Enrapturess
Because it's a better game than 40k so they get all the best models
Formally, Slaanesh is the god of excess.
De facto, it's not so. It has never been so.
Slaanesh is heavily themed around the seven deadly sins minus anger, as that's the theme of his arch-enemy. Lust and Gluttony are only two of those sins. Their exclusion leaves us with:
Greed. A corrupted Rogue Trader decked in gold and israeliteels and obsessed with hoarding more. Even her flagship is gilded. She explodes entire planets so that she could easily strip mine all the gold from the remaining asteroids.
Pride. This is literally what Sigvald is. Just make a female Sigvald. In space.
Envy. This is the most female of all sins! Make it a corrupted Sister of Battle that's a former comrade of Celestine. She got so butthurt at the beatification of Celestine that she turned to Slaanesh to become even stronger.
Sloth. This is, admittedly, not a very easy sin for a combat-based character to embody. Make it an alpha-plus psyker who's so strong that she can get anything she wants by just thinking about it. As a result, over the years she gave up on moving at all and literally grew into her comfy levitating sofa, only ever opening her mouth to eat.
Slight point of order. I feel Slaanesh could take Anger if it's self-righteous anger, the sort of anger you hold on to and polish up, because it gives you that warm inner glow.
Shitpost? That's slaanesh.
Post ragebait? Slaanesh.
TAKE the ragebait even when, or especially BECAUSE, you know it's ragebait? Oh that's extra Slaanesh.
To use a few wankwords, I view Khorne's anger as mindless, when you sublimate yourself and your humanity to an all consuming, animalistic rage and fury. Primitive, kill-or-be-killed, Darwinian almost, perhaps.
Slaaneshi anger is masturbatory. Performative. Massaging your superego because you're so obviously Right, Correct and Good. The god(dess) of clickbait, essentially.
>thinks Khorne would let some wimpy homosexual steal whats his
>implying military isn't a bunch of autofellating tards getting off on their own image while chewing crayons
>VDV
Man those guys got fricking cubed
The ginger is the only true man in this picture, going against a crowd of men three times his size. The military posers are both literal gays drilling each other in the barracks and metaphorical gays, unashamed of bullying a lone weak twink.
Are they harassing the ginger because he's not gay?
Lay off the Ganker, son.
I thought pride was kind of in khornes domain too for some reason - I suppose only in the martial sense tho, I can't remember nay specific lore that addresses it
Khorne is all about killing stuff, while his warrior might be proud of his achivments Khorne only cares about killing stuff.
Slaanesh is about pride with mirror shields honour guard(Sigvald lol) so you can admire yourself during combat, being self obsessed so your entire existence is based around thinking how awesome you are and surrounding yourself with sycophants who kiss ground you walk on.
>Sloth. This is, admittedly, not a very easy sin for a combat-based character to embody.
Make it a Sleeping Beauty character that's like a one person Necron Tomb that wrecks anything which wakes it up.
Has it ever been established in the lore whether a psyker can have an effect on those around them while asleep?
Because I could imagine a scenario in which the sleepy Slaaneshi sorceress of sloth represented a sort of living area denial weapon. The closer someone gets to her, the more they'd be affected by her dreams psychically emanating out into the world around her, first becoming disoriented, then going mad, before finally lapsing into unconsciousness as their minds are drawn into the sorceress' dream.
Basically an Azatoth light that dreams you to death?
Sounds more like a Tzeentch thing to me.
Malifaux had a character like this, a little boy who had Little Nemo-esque adventures with his imaginary friend in his sleep. What the boy didn't know was that the imaginary friend was an omnicidal daemon, and their adventures took place in the real world.
He grew up to be an annoying little shit with a cricket bat and I hate him
Nice allegory for the entire Malifaux.
I think the original Warhammer, even prior to when it became Warhammer Fantasy, had a character precisely like this.
Sloth is one of Nurgle's domains and Envy mostly belongs to Tzeentch
>Formally, Slaanesh is the god of excess.
So having a huge pile of shame is Slaaneshi?
Artistic pursuits gone to the extreme
Lucius or Fulgrim (i.e. arrogant/perfectionist with focus on melee combat/art) but female.
Done
I'm fond of Savona from 40k
For AoS I think you could do so based on combat skill. Wearing similar clothing as as pic related with an ever slight military slant. Weilds a spear and is inhumanly fast and breathtakingly elegant. Doesn't need armour as it just slows her.
Essentially Slaanesh version of a wych
You mention AoS, but you talk like someone who's never seen HoS in his life. The whole army is exactly like this.
I did, just thought you could build a character round the HoS traits.
Valley girl grows bored of being cast as a debutante in a fantasy of manners; takes to smoking weed and partying with Satanist murderclowns.
Making their body into a temple.
A dancer, so obsessed with formless grace they use fans, ribbons and scarves to obscure their outline at distance, and to distract their opponent up close
Drugs
Ever since I read Fulgrim years ago I’ve wanted a Bequa Kyrnska (or whatever the frick her name is) daemon champion. Just an opera singer.
There's the Masque.
Contorsionist/acrobat
A scorned wife seeking the perfect revenge.
There was a solipsistic noble lady in Black Crusade rulebook who let a Keeper of Secrets possess her and then bound it to her will, using it as a battery.
Immortal warrior woman like that chick from Invisible she rapes the men she defeats to bear strong children she then fights
If he's invisible how come he can't die?
Enemies can't see his hitbox.
Where is this from?
He meant Anissa from Invincible and don't look her up. Her character was solid, and her story was atrocious woke. I warned you, dog.
Sure. She's an obsessive musician, schooled by the dark Eldar. Like the Melniboneans, she has a chorus of slaves surgically altered so they can only scream in a single note. She "conducts" them with various horrifying torture devices, and is always looking for new creatures to add to her choir.
The most disturbing part is that the music she makes is, in fact, quite beautiful. If you don't know how she creates it, most beings find it very pleasant, even enrapturing.
>The matriarch of a distinguished aristocratic family whose merest suggestion influence the agenda of the movers and shakers of the realm so subtly that they don't even realise that the ideas aren't their own. The seed of many court intrigue found its way from her golden words as she raps the men of note around her fingers. Her legendary dinner parties is where her charm is truly at display, and it is the true hallmark of having made once mark in life to be invited to one.
>raps the men of note
YO MY NAME'S SLAANESH
AND I'M HERE TO SAY
I'M THE GOD WHO'S DOWN TO
F.U.C.KAY
slaanesh is excess
just make some baker woman who needs the FINEST ingredients, like she wants to make blood sausage and she needs the blood of 1000 sacrifices distilled into one drop to perfect her food
A fallen Techpriestess who seeks to attain absolute physical perfection through ever more elaborate and artistically crafted bionics, until she's basically a living sculpture.
idk why but thats hot
A bowman who is unnaturally good at hitting targets vital points from abnormally long distances. He is also cursed by always needing a challenge and cannot shoot at "normal" distances.
Though a flaw to the curse is the fact that he could shoot straight into the air and hit his targets with a falling arrow.
I know the thread is about woman characters but "bowman" and that description made me think of Irvine from Berserk
Self harm
She can make people remember their deepest traumas and then trows them a cursed shaving blade at them to cut themselves. SH scars od victim are portals to warp.
Ubersreik Adventures II features an unwilling Slaaneshi champion who has to feed her harp or lute (I don't remember lol) with blood regularly, the more people she kills the more popular and enthralling her music becomes.
Wasn't there a cannon female Slaanesh daemon prince who was so arrogant she absorbed multiple Keepers of Secrets until Slaanesh itself noticed her?
Just a crackhead rocker girl.
Where did you get that mini?
Are you looking for an explicitly female coded champion or unisex sexless champions?
Beastmistress "dog in purse" chaos lady. Huge collection of various vicious drooling and mutated monsters she dotes over like her own children. Buys them custom, obnoxiously frilly, outfits, throws them prisoners like dogtreats. A terrible warband to be in, if you make Mr tibbles, the chaos spawn, "sad" she'll make you feed him your own liver, but attracts heavily mutated murders who feel spawnhood approching.
I think you mean "kidney". You're gonna be dead far sooner than you can feed anybody your own dissected liver.
It's better that then what she'll do to you if you dont
Why not gluttony haha
yeah haha what if there was a female slaaneshi who ate a lot that and was really greedy that would be funny haha
what do you think she would smell like
Because Glutos already exists, and while he's a man, his gender is completely unimportant to the character.
The 6 Sins of Slaanesh are:
> Avidity
> Gluttony
> Carnality
> Paramountcy
> Vainglory
> Indolency
Just remove Gluttony and Carnality and use one of the other 4.
V-tuber.
>"Be sure to like and subscribe... YOUR SOUL!!!"
she wanted to be the best fencer
she wanted to be the best dancer
she wanted to be the best harpist
she wanted to be the best tailor
she wanted to be the fastest runner
Anything that entails pride and excess works anon, you just need to be proud of being the best or wanting to.
>she wanted to be the best tailor
Where can I find a Slaaneshi tailor girl who views it as her religious duty to make the most perfect garment imaginable? Every time I go to a tailor, it's a bored old Vietnamese man taking my measurements while mumbling incoherently in his horrible barking dog language, and half the time the stitching is all crooked and uneven.
Watch Phantom Thread
William tell but woman, literally symbol of prideful and arrogant master of something(archery).
Schwab pls
William Tell was neither prideful nor arrogant
Vanity, pride hubris.
Female vanity is an economic engine that never loses steam, you can do a lot with it. Wicked Queen never gets her breasts out, but her vanity and jealousy is the motivation for her sending a young girl to die in the woods- demanding her heart be cut out as evidence.
Thats chaos.
Slaaneshi champions are pretty much required to be repulsive because the point of the daemons is their exaggeration of a trait into horror. However Tzeentchian magical girls are canon and in the Spul Drinker series the daemon of Tzeentch presents itself as a mighty glowing angel of sublime beauty. I think you can get beautiful daemonettes out of Tzeentch and Khorne but not from Nurgle or Slaanesh.
Gossip and shit
It's a actually a quite neat concept imo, imagine this champion getting highs by having a whole network of informers rely her a constant stream of petty informations equally true or false, and that she chitchats with her opponents during fights
Also you can give her multiple personalities or heads that keep gossiping also about each other in a cacophony of Paranoia that drags in everyone overhearing. Or stuff like that
