So I regularly see some confusion about the OG female Space Marine models so let's do story time:
So before Warhammer was a thing Games Workshop started as a small miniature producer for tabletop RPGs that expanded into minature wargames as a way to get people to buy more minis.

Quite; you don't force someone to commit to excesses, you just show them the trough and let'em feast... hard to make someone overindulge in what they genuinely don't want, but start out with what they DO want, and they'll walk barefoot into Hell. Or the Warp, as the case maybe.

In Daemonfuge Slaanesh was possessing Battle Sisters and Black Templars.

Hells, the battle cry of N'kari the Bejeweled One in Total Warhammer 3 is literally, "FEAST ON THE DELIGHTS OF THIS WORLD!"

SA is not delight for all. It does not sway others to worship The Dark Prince. It pushes them away.

You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar, after all.

And the fact people INSIST on ignoring that 'cuz it doesn't fit their incredible narrow interpretation of a nuanced deity is so annoying.

And that it's usually the chuds who do it is further proof they know shit about the series they proclaim to love 'cuz bigotry & a desire to lick fascist boots.

Perfection in all forms includes the art of seduction & temptation of a non-sexual nature as well. How do you sway an asexual person like an Astartes to your side?

You play to those desires & emotions they DO possess.

Lucius' obsession with swordplay & the Noise Marines with music, for example.

Slaanesh is six of the Seven Deadly Sins in one. Gluttony, sloth, lust, vainglory, pride, & avarice, while wrath is Khorne's domain.

There is more to the Perfect Prince than sex, as shem is desire & emotion in ALL forms. And, as a god with a refined palate, willing submission is superior to forced.

Seriously, this is one of the cool things about Slaanesh's lore that I hate gets overlooked in lieu of the whole "Slaaneshi SA degen" bullshit memes.

Sensation, excess, delight, & perfection in ALL things. Hedonism does not equal sex. It's over-indulgence.

Codex: Chaos Daemons 6th edition. Slaanesh clearly prefers consent because it's far better for a "good man" to walk into hell on his own feet than dragging him down.

So no, Slaanesh isn't the SA god and people should stop making jokes about Slaanesh being the SA god.

If it's sex it's doing it so much you get friction burns.

TERMINAL OVERKILL - hits 150!

Thank you dear readers! I think my second novel for BL - and one that taught me a lot. And brought scrape to the underhive.

SA isn't excess. It's a power trip through violence.

Also not the actual studio and clearly some traced Star Wars material.

What was it Asmodeus said in Helluva Boss?

"Lust shouldn't be about force. It's an ART! To be earned & enjoyed. It's all about that journey to ~pleasure town~, you feel me?"

And, honestly, it makes sense that this is Slaanesh's view on consent. Tempt with delight, don't force. It spoils the meal.

It's a really good story that really shows what Slaanesh is actually about but it's in a single codex and never got reprinted which is a crime.

I think that's still gold trim and aquila there.

The trim would be 2nd company who gets all the box art, but they still have red trim for one of their companies.

Red bolters are still a thing though.
