Specifically the Questor, Subjagator and the little chicken knights.

I pluck them from the data for my list, all is hunky dory and I googled the images.

Dear god.

Any suggestions for proxies or requests for new designs? I'm thinking two legged unicorns...

Indeed, I have been looking into this as well.

Two pics of the old epic Questor model and one of a much better 40k replica.

It looks a a goldfish on 40k elder legs.

not to mention the subjagator which has 40k deamonette claws glued on to the side of it.

Aren't thses supposed to be warmachines embracing perfection? Demonically fast, un-naturally graceful?

because it looks like a goldfish. I do not associate goldfish with much beyond Pokemon, lucky money and floating upside down in a bowl.

enough ranting. more sketching.

For some reason I like em. Is it because they are rare and expensive? Perhaps.
They're very weird looking, but do have kinda slinky 'lines'.

The whole 'traditional' pink/purple thing I could take or leave. I'd paint em black and gloss coat, so it look like latex. :P

I think GW always feel they have (had) to walk a fine line with Slaaneshi stuff, it's supposed to be seductive, but androgynous.
Kinda a tough concept to sell in a game 'universe' marketed to 13 year old boys (or even men in general).

I'm very uncreative and can't really imagine any other kind of war engine that would fit in with Slaneesh.
Actually, I think GW hit the nail on the head with these, it's just too bad they are cast in unobtainium.

I kinda feel like the Slaaneshi titans should feel like mechanical versions of the Steeds of Slaanesh. The goldfish heads don't really do that for me.

Since the Questor is probably the most discordant of the slaanesh knight-engines I just thought I'd post some photos of the other ones.
I think these 'capture' the concept the designers were trying for a little better:
