Less arguing, more vulvas.

Nothing truer could have been said sir!

There are two ways of selling any flavor of fiction: violence and sex.  40K wallows in violence in the extreme.  In Slannesh, you get a bit of sex.  I personally find it amusing whenever anyone who wallows gratuitously in violence, death, immorality, disease, sorcery and blood gets prudish with the sex.  White skinned feminine models are cool, but an attempt to use vaguely realistic skin tones is disturbing enough to cause loss of sanity points?  No 40K player ought to be rejecting an aspect of the game for reasons that it leads people astray morally.  This would be the ultimate hypocrisy.  40K fluff is built on a solid foundation of gratuitous violence and immorality.

I personally find violence more problematic than sex.  The story line behind my Ladies of the Night was created to a great degree to avoid the immorality associated with embracing GW plot lines.  The reason my summoned infantry have realistic skin tones is to emphasize that they are more human and less vile.  This does get me in trouble with fluff nazi.  Does everyone have to be vile?  

Like Rich, I am somewhat disturbed by some aspects of the game, but I feel it wrong to start crusades to make sure other people whose tastes differ from mine can't enjoy the game.

One of my Sophies is a 01406, identical to Urban Legend except for a bikini top.  Ben, if your Sophie gets declined for reason of prudishness, I can lend you a PG rated Sophie.  (She still has a sword.  She can't get a G rating cause she is too violent.)  I don't see anything problematic with your work in progress, though you could possibly be more lavish with your green stuff.

This assumes I can find Miss 01406.  She may be hanging out with those playing hard to get dancing girls.

Can I borrow your Malibu Barbie with the eyes cut out? Clothing optional, as always.

In the Grim Darkness of the Far Future, there is only War. Not sex.

The themes of violence and war in this game is more acceptable because we're making war on imaginary aliens, robots, and demons.

Putting flesh colored, mostly-nude looking women on the tabletop in public events of this nature wouldn't be appropriate.

What no naked Barbies?!

If you need a few more Sophies, let me know.

What I'll need eventually are dancing girls. I'll have four of them around Sophie here, and remove them as wound tokens.

I'm currently moving.  I have a few dancing girls.  I'll see if I can find them.

Tits or GTFO!

I am inclined to agree. Slanesh is not the god of Sex he is the god of excess. A bloated fat man that wont stop stuffing his face would be a deamon prince of Slanesh. I dont think the model is in the spirit of the game and it seems to bother some of the players on the board.

It's important to have facts first. Slaanesh is about sensation and violating mores. Slaanesh says yes when others say no, and his trap is followers are driven to ever-greater extremes because their sensations become dull to old experiences. The appearance of Slaanesh and his daemons is often that of irresistible physical perfection.

If my Fiends and Greater Daemons of Slaanesh make anyone feel uncomfortable in the pants, please leave appropriate coverings behind the counter in Plainville. The mutant hooker from Total Recall has nothing on those models.

I hope Rich gives his titan a dick-claw now.

I am confused. have you made this up because you think this is what it is suppose to be or just read some fanfic that gives you this idea.

Slaanesh is the God of hedonism and excess.  This DOES NOT MEAN EVERYTHING IS NEKKID!

That's a red herring argument. Just saying.

so he's modeling it after me? I'm sooooo honored!

What, that the Fiends and Greater Daemons have nothing on the mutant hooker from Total Recall?

Whoa, slow down a bit. Instead of suggesting that I have made things up or using some faulty reference, just simply ask for sources. It's a much nicer tactic and uses fewer words.

Both the previous edition of the Chaos Space Marines codex (because the current one is a flavorless wasteland) and the current Chaos Daemons codex make reference to Slaanesh remaking or gifting his followers as he wishes. So, whatever whim the god of hedonism, excess and pleasure can imagine, so can it be. (Both codices also support what I wrote in the post to cause this question.)

I would think the realm of Slaanesh might encompass a bit of bits, as it were. Now, if you can show me how this *could not* be the case, I'd be very interested to read that.

It may be that some have a hard time imagining how a naked woman could be alluring. I'm not here to judge.

Also, she's not naked. She's totally wearing a belt.

[GossWeapon]

Clean it up a bit dude this is a family store! At least give her a scrunchie .

[Ed]

Omg I'm trying going to be an asshole. I don't give a fuck what the model looks like. I really don't give a shit about people morals. I don't want to read trash and this isn't about David.
