| Archon_91, even if Slaanesh is all about envy and lust Mpp's observation still applies. Where's the envy for somebody elses talents (like a painter, actor, singer)? There should be much more representation of the arts. I would love to a massivee Slaaneshi War Engine called The Divine Comedy that is just all of the 40,000 universes finest, just aliens from every possible species discussing things in the most lavish of setting surrounded by art and finesse, all this is happening upon the back of a behemoth who is slaughtering thousands below and serving their blood up as tea to the creatures upstairs. That's just as slaanesh to me as tit steeds. | |

| Never said Mpp's observation didn't apply ... And while I was lousy at expressing it I was agreeing with Mpp's observation that slaanesh should be more then just monoboob sex demons as I did say that their enemies would look at them in lust and envy and while I did say that meant they have to be sexualized to an extent, cause let's face it even today "perfection" is usually advertised with a certain amount of sex appeal, I also said they should be idolized perfection in their enemies eyes which is artwork ... Look at Greco/Roman statues and how many of them are mostly nude ... Their inspiration was human perfection immortalized in stone, to be envious of and aroused by the perfect body ... And that certainly lends itself to your idea, Lord Nakarii, of a slaanesh deamon engine "The Divine Comedy" the epitomy of ideal perfection and lavishness in the eyes of the 40k universe ... much like the wyches of the true kin ... Other worldly beauty and skill, mostly naked in earlier editions ... | |

| Fair call, thankyou for clarifying, now lets hope GW does this right and doesn't botch it up and do what they usually do and squat stuff. Like the promise to AoS fans and then the tomb kings and Bretonnians removed pretty much from the canon. | |
