Don’t miss our unboxing of the Hedonites of Slaanesh Sigvald and Glutos Orscollion as we build them and tell you the GOTCHAS!
This week we are unboxing some of the new Hedonites of Slaanesh minis that just came out and see what it takes to get them ready for the tabletop. Rob goes over two of the most anticipated kits, compares them to other models, and tells you the GOTCHAS to be aware of when building them!
We are going to show you everything including the sprues, bits, and of course comparisons. That way you can decide if these are worth your hard-earned hobby dollars. Let’s go!
Hedonites of Slaanesh Sigvald & Glutos Orscollion: Unboxing

Here are the boxes we’re going to take a look at today! Let’s get into it.
Glutos Orscollion
Stores were given around three of these and they run for $115, but they are still online so that’s a good sign.
Like with all the new GW instructions, they have a really nice color system to make building their new stuff easier. Right off the bat, the chariot itself doesn’t look too bad to build. Just be careful because some of the computer slicings aren’t perfect and some of the parts are almost identical but made for opposite sides.
Be careful to not glue down the yoke or many of the parts honestly, just dry-fit it so you can paint it in separate parts. The other thing you really need to watch out for is the canopy drapes, they are fairly heavy and they are only supported by two little ring hooks. Just make sure that is glued down well so it doesn’t fall off.
The minis themselves also have some GOTCHAS, where they have a lot of free-floating little pieces with only one point of contact. Just remember again, don’t glue the stuff down so you can paint it separately!
The sprues are full of detail! Nothing looks too bad other than the piece that holds up the canopy. Rob is very wary of that bit. Overall, it looks great, let’s see how it goes together!
Built Mini
First off, the mini looks awesome and is on the 170mm Knight base. Rob just used Blue Tac to help with the assembly and keep the parts separate for painting.
As you can see, you could even play with this as you’re painting it since the dudes on the front support the mini without being glued down. Rob also used extra Thin Cement from Tamiya for all the minis themselves.
The only thing Rob really didn’t like was the canopy. It just doesn’t support the weight by itself well enough since it’s just two tiny contact points to hold the whole thing up. He recommends replacing it with a heavy-duty O Ring or maybe a metal jewelry piece.
Sigvald
Next up is the Magnificent One himself who comes on a 60mm base.
The assembly of the body is pretty straightforward, but there are a decent amount of fiddly little bits for the hair, the sword, and extra flair. There is some odd open space at the end of the scenic base, which is kind of annoying. Rob just fills that extra space with a little Liquitex Resin Sand.
The bits are very well-detailed and other than the tiny rapier parts, nothing looks too hard to build.
Overall the mini looks amazing! It goes together fairly easily, but Rob recommends painting this in sections. So, he uses blue tac for the head, connecting him to the base, and the 3rd cape in the back. This will save you tons of time when painting.
He is pretty large and even without the base makes a Stormcast look small.
Will you be adding these to your collection? Do you already have either of them?
