Editing Daemonette (section)

===Ackland Aliens===
[[File:Oldschool daemonette.png|350px|right|thumb|Old school Daemonette. Not much different from the new school Daemonette, other than the naked breast being the female one and a MUCH better paint job than any [[Eavy Metal]] painter has ever done being portrayed.]]
Daemonettes have a long history in Warhammer, being among the first unique creations to the setting; this is because Warhammer Fantasy was originally created to sell the licensed [[Citadel Miniatures|Citadel]] brand [[Dungeons & Dragons]] miniatures that weren't selling by creating a wargame while 40k came out later as its own unique game (that also conveniently sold [[Judge Dredd]] stock). Whenever Games Workshop lost the rights to an intellectual property the existing miniatures were rebranded and given lore in Warhammer which can most easily be seen with the [[Beastmen]] AKA [[Broo]].

But Warhammer needed something...new (new meaning "totally stolen from [[Michael Moorcock]]"). In 1988 a little book called [[Slaves to Darkness]] then in 1990 [[The Lost and the Damned]], together making [[Realm of Chaos]], was released with rules for [[Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay]], 40k 1e, and Warhammer Fantasy 3e written by [[Brian Ansell]], featuring the artwork from [[Tony Ackland]]. Ackland was the original Warhammer artist, and his designs were given directly to the sculptors to create the unique models for Warhammer.
The massive success of this book resulted in most of the unique things created for it becoming staples of all Games Workshop Warhammer IPs. All of the Daemons that weren't stolen from Dungeons & Dragons originated in Ackland's sketchy art in Realm Of Chaos. Not the least of these...the Daemonette.

Ackland's designs vary in design from the ridiculously 80's cheese to the nightmare-inducingly fantastic. Many of his designs, the ones intended to actually be intimidating, feature insect-like and literally alien styles. His [[Bloodletters]] were Xenomorph/demon hybrids, his [[Pink Horrors]] were fungus-ridden beetle trolls, his [[Plaguebearers]] dripping in mildly realistic looking sores, and his [[Daemonettes]] were sexy graylings with gigantic black eyes and insect features.

The first models had the typical Ackland variation and mutations although fangs, crab claws, a half female and a half male chest, and HUGE eyes was the recurring trend in the population. Like most other early Warhammer models, each were given their own unique name in some advertisements. The second generation, released with second edition 40k, were very much the same model repeated in different positions and were FAR uglier although were 100% female.
