There is some much vibrancy in the original source material its a pleasure to flick through the late 80s mags and such for ideas. gRiMdArK does very little for me.

I'm thinking early 1990s. I'll link to SOL if I can find them in there. They're post-Goodwin but before the godawful 2nd run of chaos when they redid the Daemons for no good reason and made the warriors look awful with huge stupid horns on their helmets.. <br />Khorne guy from that wave is 3rd down here:<br />http://azazelx.wordpress.com/2013/01/23/realm-of-chaos-oldhammer-part-1/<br />Your Slaanesh guy is first up here:<br />http://azazelx.wordpress.com/2013/02/05/realm-of-chaos-oldhammer-part-2/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283315887973123007.post-76292301507746031512014-02-15T14:40:13.966-08:002014-02-15T14:40:13.966-08:00I love the colour scheme on these figures: very st...I love the colour scheme on these figures: very striking. I'm about to paint some Chaos Dwarves and it's green I'm going to be using, albeit without all the Slaaneshi highlights you've got here!<br /><br />The first figure always reminds me of Fantasy Miniatures, um, 1990 which had it paired with a little familiar in the same pose.George Qhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08706465827178319046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283315887973123007.post-7848496688429078432014-02-15T06:09:23.631-08:002014-02-15T06:09:23.631-08:00Awesome brush work.

Over the years I have got myself out of the habit of painting items "real world" and painting them in more vibrant colors....it is fantasy after all. <br /><br />I agree with Gareth these are some of the more interesting Slaaneshites on the web! <br />Well except for my own horde of Mad Mort that is. =)airbornegrove26https://www.blogger.com/profile/16167504949340980657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283315887973123007.post-28325654531545610152014-02-15T05:50:32.017-08:002014-02-15T05:50:32.017-08:00Love the vibrant colours, especially on the hound....Love the vibrant colours, especially on the hound.
