Doras Varn, Champion of Slaanesh

Another classic today! Crazy, I know. And this one might just be the most iconic of all Chaos Champions, he's like the poster child for fantastic imaginative sculpting of the 80s.


I really went with an Old Scool Slaanesh colour scheme for him. Nowadays, it seems that Slaanesh = black and pink, but it should be so much more. Slaanesh was, in the RoC days, all about pastel colours, not just pink and purple, but also garish combinations and just an abundance of tones and colours. I figured the addition of yellow on his tail and glove would really make him stand-out and it was also something I've yet to see on this particular figure. 

For now I can use him for Warband games in RoC, but of course he will eventually fit into my "crazy colourful" Chaos army. It gives you a taste of what I'm aiming for!

    1. Thanks JB! At first I was afraid the yellow might be a bit over the top, and then I remembered it was a Slaanesh Champion after all!

    1. Thanks Joshua! I'm quite happy with how the colours clash yet work together.

  4. Brilliant. I always took this mini for a female though because of the frills and the bow at the waist.

    1. Thanks! I think he was meant to be, just like his God, androgenous ;-)
