"GW forgets some daemons?" Topic

OK… so the fact that GW are about to tinker with Chaos again got discussed a little here… TMP link but now it's closer to the release, there's more detail on the site.

No mounted daemonettes. Anywhere. Gone from the store, no mention of them in the new stuff. The figures have been around for 4 years or more and didn't need to be redone.

So a mistake, or deliberate ommission?

Still in the book as Seekers of Slaanesh. So I expect they'll be about some time.

were the older figures a bit too lurid perhaps?

x42brown, that's good news – thanks…

They *always* seem to forget some demon or another.

"were the older figures a bit too lurid perhaps?"

Probably are now with a marketing strategy aimed at eight year olds.

I'm not sure they were more lurid. More pert, yes.

Yet another reason why I have stopped playing 40k.(The mounted Deamonettes gone that is).

Chaos should be the most frequently changed army : )

So how many versions of Daemonettes are there now? 3 or 4?

The foot ones I'm gluing up just now only have one boob and don't compare at all favourable with my older ones. All crab claws and heads that don't fit well. I think they have stopped doing the old mounted ones as they had hands and the new fluff has all the daemonettes as clawed.

just GW's way to try to make their fans to spend more money and to stop long time players from using their old minis. they have been doing this since 3ed ED

"So how many versions of Daemonettes are there now? 3 or 4?"

The plastics make the fourth full generation for both the Daemonettes and the Bloodletters. There was a partial revision in the second generation for all four lesser daemon types, but it boils down to 3rd edition, 4th/5th, 6th, and now 7th edition releases.

For the Daemonettes these are the skinny bondage hybrids, the burly crab "girls" in bikinis, the nekkid waifs with knives, and the new plastics.

For the Bloodletters the generations are the snake-like blade-lickers, the musclebound, the slightly less-ripped but more animated, and the new almost-snakey plastics.

Horrors and Plaguebearers have not seen a fourth generation yet, though the Horrors "partial" update in the second generation was more significant than the other three got, IIRC, while the Plaguebearers are really hard to tell apart in their first two generations aside from decreasing variety.

Thanks for that Farstar. Now I can tell what I have and haven't got.

Daemonic attribute differences and the more-than-occasional "loose boob" aside, the 1st generation Daemonettes are also rather primitive in sculpting technique compared to later generations.
