How is Slaanesh not played up as a larger threat?

Excess, Anon. God of Excess.
Unless this soldier is "homing" hard enough it won't matter.

>>53002735

Why don't you make your own setting wherein !NotSlaanesh is a much larger threat instead of lamenting over Games Workshop's slow but inevitable removal of Slaanesh to appeal to underage customers, that short of rioting, you are unable to change in any meaningful way?

>>53002735
They've been trying to slowly remove her because of the sexual undertones and GW wanting to appeal to the child market. He's already gone from Age of Shitmar, it's only a matter of time before they take her out of 40k too. Bit of a shame, really.

>>53002735
Canonically this is the case and is one of the reasons the other three fear and hate Slaanesh, because by their own nature's they feed him

>>53002883
I wonder what that will mean for Fulgrim and Lucius. Or the Noise Marines.

>>53002735
>Slaanesh isn't and shouldn't be seen as the god of lust or sex.
uh lol?

>>53002827
>to appeal to underage customers
>oh yeah include the god of murder who enjoys people spilling blood
>include the god of disease that enjoys spreading space aids and torturing his eldar waifu
>get them titties out of here you monster

>>53002974
They'll probably get lumped in with another faction. Hell, they might get the Squat treatment for all I know.

>>53002735
Slaanesh isn't the god of desire. If anything that would be Tezeentch, who is the god of hope. Slaanesh is the god of excess. Wanting something is okay, it's when you let that want consume you and become your driving force that you begin to feed Slaanesh. This means hedonists but it also means those seeking to perfect a craft, or perfect themselves.

Mom will buy 15 year old Timmy silly looking men in red armor, she won't buy him titty demons

>>53003410
And that's a good thing, because little fucking Timmy doesn't know how to play a proper tabletop wargame and will shit up all his models.

>>53003057
>>include the god of disease that enjoys spreading space aids and torturing his eldar waifu

Nurgle lost his waifu

>>53003910
>Nurgle lost his waifu
Wot?! Sauce?

>>53004352
I think he's talking about the nobledark 40k thing people have been writing up here.
Isha was reversed kidnapped in that and is now giving emps daily blow jobs

>>53002735
>A commander dreaming of victory, a soldier longing for home, a khorne berserker lusting for blood are all things that fuel slaanesh

Not totally, doing sex and drugs and thinking of victory or missing home is totally fine, in moderation. Becoming obsessed or addicted, that's how slaanesh gets you

>>53003910
Only in fanon, she is still very much his prisoner

Slaanesh is not being phased out. Repeating this is just a form of Internet Tough Guy flamery/autism.

GW is laying groundwork for Slaanesh Returns! type plot arc.

whole plot of hammerhal is about Tzeentch, Khorne, and Nurgle actually cooperating to unleash Slaanesh

Is there going to be a Slaanesh resurgence sometime soon? I feel like Khorne, Tzeentch, and Nurgle are always getting cool new models and all Slaanesh gets is some Daemonettes and a Noise Marine upgrade kit thing. I'd get into playing Chaos Marines if I could play a Slaanesh army but it just looks like a pain to build anything compared to the other 4

>>53007665
Is it really? can you post Spoilers?
All I heard was the sorcerer was a slaanesh sorcerer who was just getting the other factions together to help fight for him

>>53003057
It's almost like you dont understand how Christian populations work.

>>53009058

yep - Fulgrim looks to be the next daemon primarch somtheir will probably be noise marines and maybe some kind of slaaneshi themed daemon engines, a la upcoming DG

the issue with slaaneshi daemons isn't just "boobies" - it's coming up with cool ideas ... with the other gods, it is much simpler: gross/humorous for nurgle, ornate/feather/egypto for tzeentch, BLARRRRGH for khorne ... but capturing the essence of desire while balancing against terror is a more complicated idea

sigvald is a good example of cool slaanesh model

>>53009084

the sorcerer is trying to free slaanesh, all the other gods are on board and cooperating with one another

this is pretty rare in itself ... they were foiled once by the hammerhal heroes but knowing tzeentch that was just a distraction

>>53011894

so there*

also to clarify sorcer is sorcer of tzeentch not of slaanesh

>>53003462
They're also ungodly expensive and I'd never buy them for my kids just to layer on half-inch thick coats of neon colors with the fucking arms on backwards. For the money you could buy a lot more for a kid.

>>53003410
Does anyone seriously go into these places with their mom? I'd figure most parents nowadays would just be thankful you're spending your money on something other than pot.

>>53011894
that's true. Nurgle and Khorne have always had pretty distinctive visual styles, and the feathers and egyptian tzeentch stuff has been put on pretty hard recently, especially with the demon magnus model. They're probably waiting until the fulgrim release to update the slaanesh aesthetic.

>>53009240
It's not even Christians, unless we're still counting Anglos as Christians (which as a Christian I would not, as a general population at any rate).

>>53013000
My mum went to the store I go to to get me a Christmas present, Start Collecting! Chaos Space Marines.
Just because I already have a decent chaos army already doesn't mean I didn't appreciate the new models.

>>53013000
Nice trips. But I've seen kids as young as 8-10 in these stores with their parents. A lot of the time, the parents are looking for something they can do together. It's not too different from building a model car or airplane, except in this case, they're also spreading Da Great Green WAAAAGGGGHHHH.

>>53015120

dads a;ways buying toys "for the kids"

>>53004478
You know, I was really curious about that setting until I got about three sentences in.
Now, I feel way better about GW's ability to tell a story.
