What's worse?

What could be worse than a Space Marine Legion that fell to the Chaos powers and rebelled against everything they once respected? We don't know, but it was probably pretty bad.

Zarakynel Stand-In

I have a pretty sizable Slaaneshi Chaos army, both Emperor's Children and daemons. If anyone knows me, they know that I like to play Apocalypse games with huge and powerful units and money is rarely an object. That might lead someone to expect that I would have the Forge World Keeper of Secrets, Zarakynel.

My issue with Zarakynel is not the rules; an exception to most Imperial Armour stuff. It is mostly the fact that she is simply a big Daemonette. I like my Keepers to have a Minotaur-like look with a bull head.

My second problem with the character is the fact that I don't really use the whole 'pleasure' aspect of Slaanesh. All of my stuff is more about noise and pain. Plus, I have a wife and a 5-year-old and don't want to have a large, naked model around. So, what to do?

My friend Steve W. had a great idea. He suggested using the World of Warcraft Draenei Mage action figure as a less risque replacement for Zarakynel. I thought this was brilliant, so I got on the internet and found one. (Since they're sold out, I had to pay more than list for her.)
I'm going to have to paint her in my army colors, and I'm going to have to decide whether I should add the two claw arms. Watch this space for updates!
