That Emperor - always having more children.
This time round it's the next block of Troops, the Infractors. They're melee-oriented, rushing in with a scout move and duelling sabres, and pretty decent if you can find lesser troops for them to bully.
Not terribly high strength or damage, so I think they might struggle a bit against marine equivalents, but that's why you might give them a nice Lord Exultant to lead them. Then they get a bonus to wound, which is bound to help.
Same colours as last time, but I inverted the palette. White panels, purple trim, originally so I could slapchop the white bits first and perhaps save a bit of time. This didn't work, it took just as long, but the white bits came out well.
(I dislike the term slapchop intensely, it involves neither slapping nor chopping. Quite a handy technique though.)
Swirly green poison blades with a lick of gloss varnish, a bit of gold and then there was time for a pair of Lords Exultant to lead them.
Nice pair of models, even if they're pretty much identical bar weaponry. One of them got a nice leopard-skin cloak, the other (who is taller on his cork base) got some extra costume jewels.
Lots of the armour trim designs fit my little rhinestones pretty precisely, it's very hard to resist the temptation to slap them on all over the place. This lord has four, which perhaps excessive, but they are Slaaneshi after all.
That's about eight hundred points or so done, I think. Slap them in a Rhino with a few enhancements, and you'd have a decent but slightly toothless thousand point force, so I'd better paint some of the meatier choices next!
