Also think GW paints them weird to not offend anyone online with nudity. I'll never forget the story about a guy complaining that he didn't like the nude models because his kid plays Chaos. LOL, guess boobs are more offensive than human flesh hanging from armor....
I digress. The rest of the Slannesh stuff looked pretty cool to me. I'll never own Chaos, but look forward to playing against the new models.

They're not even nasty evil daemons (like, say, the bloodletters are) - they're just ugly. Slaanesh works because the daemonettes are (historically, at least) delicate, pretty, beautiful temptresses. The steeds and beasts are all weirdy demonic looking wotsits, but the daemonettes should look pretty but do horrible things. If they look ugly they completely miss the dual nature of Slaanesh and just become boring old evil monsters. We already have those in the shape of bloodletters, so what's the point of Slaanesh?
@pdfitzg That's America for you. Perfectly okay to show people shooting each other, but a nipple slip? Good heavens! Think of the children!
And I think Raging Heros might have your sexy daemonettes sorted out. They've got some not-Wytches too. And a Commisar that could make the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue.
