matty1001 Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 Allan C's Demonette seems to be available now at JMD miniatures. Very nice model, but thats a hefty price tag IMO! Better get saving up! http://www.jmd-miniatures.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sculpta the squig Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 The head/face seems to small for the body somehow and I'm not fond of that expression at all Squig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duende Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 Great paintjob on her. But she is kinda ugly, I think the nudity is supposed to distract from her face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skya Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 I think she's really cool, and honestly thats not a bad price for a figure in that scale. Her limbs are kinda long for her body, almost definitely a stylistic choice, but the rest of her is accurately proportionate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demonherald Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 errrrrrrrrr....not overkeen on the ace it's what is putting me off the Elf..too much of the joker about it but that's alan's style..The price is good really I've just paid over £50 a piece for some 54mm Samuari models...I hope they've OK'ed this with GW as that could be a costly buisness for them.. I mean there are an endless variety of routes to take with daemons and daemonettes but this is A slaanesh Daemonette and I'm sure in some shape or form GW wil have it protected ....I have the other big Daemon on the way depending on the quality I may be tempted by this but the face is really putting me off.

YoungWolf7 Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 Nicely painted, but 'tis a shame about the face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonforge Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 BEAUTIFUL sculpt..boring pose.. Be curious the see how long GW's IP police allows this one to stay for sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
green stuff Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 Be curious the see how long GW's IP police allows this one to stay for sale. GW invented demons??? Seriously, we all know what inspired Allan, but he did put a little effort in reinterpriting the theme, there is no GW iconography, and it's not branded under the name demonette. I'm usually one of the first to say that there's been some IP steaing on such and such mini, but I think GW's going to have a hard time on this one.

Ritual Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 Plus, the fact that this doesn't compete with GWs own products, this being a 54 mm mini... I don't think they will make the effort in this case as, like Cédric said, they have very little to build a case on. I like this sculpt immensely (and ordered one yesterday)! I like the sneering face (gives it an unusual character) and the pose doesn't bother me at all on a display piece like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demonherald Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 Yeah I think looking at it the most important part is as you say he hasn't used the Slaanesh or Chaos Icons...I think the pose is fine as Anders says especially for a display piece.. I'm just not a big fan on the face.,.. But then again that may be me seeing it as a GW daemonette and not it's own thing....overall it is nice...

gi6ers Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 not a fan of the concept and she has a man face IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wingz Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 she looks like she got them good birth'n hips.. im not to fond of this mini myself but the DÉMON looks awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malebolgia Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 Ugh what an ugly sculpt...don't like the face, pose, proportions and some of the body features. And this really qualifies as a Daemonette ripoff IMO...it has exactly the same claw, hair, shoulder pad, leg armour and feet! The only difference is the size and the fact that it's more nude.

Ritual Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 Of course it's a rip-off in the sense that it's obviously a demonette... But, it doesn't contain anything in particular that GW can claim ownership on as it has no GW iconography or trademarked stuff in it, nor is it sculpted after any GW illustrations. It's a female demon with certain features that GW, although having used the same features themselves, can not claim ownership of. I think this falls in the same category as Game Zone's stuff, or Black Hat's stuff... and that stuff is still around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malebolgia Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 That's true but I wonder whether GW has attempted to shut these guys down so far...I think so, but never heard anything from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I agree there ..I mean Gamezone and more recently inch high are producing almost GW clone a likes and fair play to em if they can get away with it and they sell for them... I really hope they do get on OK with it as I'm sure there will be some fantastc stuff produced..The worrying thing is GW's tendency to go for the smaller production in terms of IP defence rather than big companies...bullies:vb_devil: Anyways the new Daemonettes are out next year from GW and they look different so all is good in the world.

Ritual Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 I think it's a shame that GW have re-designed the demonettes as I think the current ones are some of the best minis GW has ever made... Ah well... :dontknow: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demonherald Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 Yup me too the newer ones go back a bit to the last edition...not to much in fact if anything they've taken a tip from Allan's by adding more armour.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callumrice Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 Well I love it regardless. Face and all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastman Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 Not overly fond of the claw arm. If she had 2 regular arms, I'd be buying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avelorn Posted November 23, 2007 Report Share Posted November 23, 2007 Taste differs, I think it looks absolutely great. I can see nothing wrong with the proportions either except for the obvius enlonged limbs. The face is beautiful, full of character and expression. And if we're talking deamonettes and slaanesh.. androgynity is not a bad idea. Even if I personally wouldn't say she looks very masculine. The paintjob looks maybe even better then the first one, more contrast and character. And that one was one of the best minis I've seen in my life.
