BUILDING A SLAANESHI POWER ICON
Daemonhunter armies are typically dispatched near and far to fight incursions of Warp-spawned filth. They often find themselves fighting over some remote place of worship for heretics and traitors.
To this end, the following step-by-step instructions show you how to build an evil power icon of your very own. These steps could be easily modified to make symbols of other Chaos gods or other insignia you create yourself.

CONSTRUCTION AND PAINTING
Stage 1 The first step is to draw a template of the icon of your chosen Chaos power (in our case Slaanesh). Trace your template onto insulation foam and cut it out with a retractable hobby knife, a foam cutter, and/or a band saw. Next, cut out a base from hardboard. |

Step 2 Shape the icon with judicious cuts of your hobby knife or foam cutter and carefully smooth these cuts with fine-grade sandpaper wrapped around a sanding block. |
 |
Step 3 Attach your icon to the base with wood glue and then paint the icon with a thinned-down layer of wood glue. Cut out rivet shapes from plasticard with a 1/8" hole punch and glue them around the base. |

Step 4 Once the glue is dry, paint the entire piece black and then heavily drybrush it with Liche Purple (or whatever colour you choose). Apply successive layers of drybrushing. Add increasing amounts of Skull White to your base colour for each coat. Paint the base with Brazen Brass and drybrush it with Shining Gold. Apply a patina with a mix of Goblin Green, Chaos Black, and Skull White. Once the patina dries, drybrush the base again with Shining Gold. |
