Mark of Slaanesh A mod post regarding recent low effort posts and arguments in sub (much more below.)

158 Upvotes

Okay, recently this sub has had an uptake in two forms of content we mods want to discuss, arguments about the Emperor's Children and implications of sexual acts, and the occasional low-effort posting in regards to very gay/queer oriented jokes. Both of these are manageable in small portions but the recent uptake with the amount of new members is starting to cause conflict.

On the former matter, we already have a rule about this that was created to deal with the uptake in debate over this matter which is of course often left to interpretation by Black Library authors and is in regards to the legion seems to be increasingly changed for pleasure and excess through violence and or concoctions. Whether this is supported or rejected by individual users is perfectly fine to discuss but the inflammatory posts and bait will increasingly be removed. This also includes low effort jokes which will be subject for increased scrutiny of we feel they are pushing the sub into primarily NSFW territory.

(In fact, yours truly made one a while ago, and will not be making that mistake ever again.)

On the latter issue. The whole argument of whether the LGBTQ+ members of our community should be "finding thematic kinship" with the Emperor's Children legion and or Slaanesh has also been done to death particularly with the decline of many overt sexual themes of the legion. While obviously we aren't going going to be banning such humour, we are going to treat low effort gay/queer jokes the same way as low effort sexual jokes if they seem to venture into NSFW territory or seem to be taking on a derogatory tone towards the subject matter.

We want to keep this sub open to everyone and not constantly producing conflict, and this is a small reminder we intend to keep it that way.

Hobbying First NMM attempt – little progress update

Post image
76 Upvotes

Another 5–6 hours of work later and I think I can finally call the gold NMM part finished!

I’m pretty happy with how it’s turning out so far, especially considering this is my first proper attempt at NMM. Definitely a lot to learn, but I’m enjoying the process.

Next up: the cloak. 😅

As usual, I’m following a tutorial by Miniatures Den on Instagram, which has been incredibly helpful throughout the process.

Any feedback or advice is more than welcome!

Recently converted my soul grinder into a EC defiler because I had a guitarist foot DP print lying around that I wasn't using.. Got the idea to make a band theme of the two, only need to add the Trusses, a mic and a lot of paint for the perfect singer. Still working on them both

I am working on my defiler and going with an 80s theme. Due to the point increase I need to remove 1 auto cannon and magnetise the weapon. I figure out how to do it but feel like I would mess it up. Also any advice other than finishing the model would be appreciated it.

Question Flawless Blades Helmets?

6 Upvotes

Brand spanking new Emperor's Children player here. I love the army rules and lore, very cool stuff, but I'll be so honest I really hate the face options for this army (to be fair I literally never use faces for any model).

Does the flawless blades box with 3 models come with a helmet for every model? Does the box with fulgrim, the blades, and noise marines come with 6 helmets?

Question Looking to start a chaos faction but my buddy is giving me grief.

52 Upvotes

Basically, I want to start a chaos army since I have a space wolves and ork armies already. I decided on emperors children as it has 3 solid boxes to start. My buddy who got me into warhammer is telling me I should go with world eaters. This is more of a display/goof off army for me. I also only really want to make chaos marines and large demon characters which the other chaos factions lack. So im asking if I should follow what I want or should I hear him out.

Many thanks in advance

Discussion Those who have used terminators... how have they performed for you?

22 Upvotes

I love terminators. I think they're really cool. But I'm hesitant to get a box of chaos termies due to either a dedicated emperors children set of upgrades (like shoulder pads and maybe some spears or sonic weapons) for the current kit, or just a new phoenix guard kit. So either sell me for or against them because I can't decide.
