Pic of the Week

As part of this blog I will not only share my own work but also the work of those who inspire me to ever greater heights of perfection and perversion in the service of Chaos.

New to 40k?

The following information is taken from wh40k.lexicamum.com is is presented to provide a general introduction to those who are not familiar with the 40k universe. I do not claim to be the author of the following text nor do I own the intellectual property rights on any of the following images.

What is Warhammer 40,000?

“Warhammer 40,000 (informally known as Warhammer 40K or just 40K) is a Gothic science fantasy tabletop miniature wargame, produced by British gaming company Games Workshop. Play centers around 28mm scale (approximately 1:65) miniature figurines produced by Citadel Miniatures, which represent soldiers, creatures, and vehicles of war. The game requires a combination of tactics and luck.

Warhammer 40K is the science fiction companion to Warhammer Fantasy. Warhammer 40,000 allows for less regimental, formation-based movement, and deals with more advanced weaponry. The game is currently in its 6th edition.” more

Who/What is Slaanesh?

“Slaanesh is the Chaos God of lust, greed, excess, pain, pleasure, perfection and hedonism. Slaanesh was the last of the major Chaos Gods to be born - coming into existence with the collapse of the Eldar civilisation.” more

What is Chaos?

“Chaos is the psychic energy that composes Warp space. More generally, "Chaos" refers to anything related to Chaos, including its influence, the Gods of Chaos, their followers, and the Warp. Chaos is almost synonymous with the Warp - the two concepts are inseparable: Chaos is the limitless ocean of spiritual and emotional energy that defines the Warp. It is a great and raw force of change and power, and is both physically and spiritually corrupting. The most gifted mortals, psykers, can utilise this energy, thus making them capable of abilities which transcend the laws of the material universe. However, the malevolent power of Chaos can gradually corrupt a psyker, tainting his mind and body.

The iconic symbol of Chaos is the eight-pointed star, representing the infinite possibilities of Chaos.”

“There are four great Powers of Chaos. Each are given form and fed by the emotions manifested by sentient beings in the material universe.

The Chaos Powers and the emotions that gave rise to them:

• Khorne is born of hate and rage.
• Nurgle is born of despair and fear of death.[2]
• Slaanesh is born of lust and hedonism.
• Tzeentch is born of ambition, hope, and the desire for change.”

Who are the Emperor’s Children?

“The Emperor's Children - Chaos Space Marines, once amongst the Emperor's most loyal servants they turned traitor during the Horus Heresy. Most of their remaining members are little more than hedonistic psychopaths who often wield unique sonic weaponry in battle.” more

Introduction

Welcome to the Throne of Excess. Here I will document my progress painting and constructing my Slaanesh warband: The Children of Excess for Warhammer 40,000.

 My vision is to field an all Slaanesh army comprised of daemons and C:SM. As much as possible I will use Slaanesh specific units and characters, and where this is not possible I will theme units accordingly.

 I have only recently got back into the hobby after giving it up a few years ago. My main interest in the hobby is in modeling and painting rather than in playing the actual game, so rules and army composition are a secondary concern for me.
