Default Re: Chaos Daemon Sprites

I simply use the ones on games-workshop as my material.

http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/ca...tCatGameStyle=

the daemonettes look kinda purple pale-ish, but I can see about the shading to make them more pale then purple. And as for more naked, well before they were naked but then games-workshop started covering them up with black leather clothing or armor, as you can see.

The horror, on the list there, I used the second to the left one as my material to base my sprite on. He looks pretty fleshy to me. I do though want "pink" horrors to be... well "pink" so what I thought was maybe I can make more sprites for the same unit. The skeletons have multiple sprites and the zombies too, I can make some purple-ish, pink, flesh-tone, and blue so we can have all the colors of a horror.

Same for the plaguebearers, I can try making some different sprites for them.

Daemonettes all seem to look roughly the same so they could have just one sprite and same for bloodletters.

What do you all think?

Looking at the examples in the most recent Daemons of Chaos army book, Daemonettes come in many different colours - most have approximately Caucasian skin colours, most pale but some tanned, with hair dyed in mostly shades of purple or pink. A few have skin going towards pink or even purple as well, but that seems to be an exception rather than a rule.

The Liber Chaotica describes them as follows, though leaving out the detail of skin colour.

Quote:
They are similar to each other in form, although the details vary from one to the other. They are tall with pale skins and delicate features. Their faces, torsos and upper thighs are like those of beautiful women, but their similarity to humanity ceases there, as their arms end in chitinous claws or serrated spines. Similarly, their otherwise shapely legs end in claws or cloven hooves, and some of them posses narrow tails that writhe and snap like long curling whips. Many of them bear tattoos of strange swirling patterns and, of course, their Master's rune.

Their bared torsos and uncovered loins boast of their unreined lust, while the soft pastels and porcelain white of their skin belie the darkness that hides within them.

Go with the old skool (ok, moderately) naked ones. Best looking daemonettes ever. Its not just that they were naked, its that the models were really elegant and yet looked deadly. It was a very good look. This 'demon goth' thing is lame.
