Well, actually: AC/DC (& Metal in general) is more MaLaal in my
mind...I'm thinking Slaanesh is more 'Arty': more 'Glam Rock' "Rocky
Horror" -'Roger Dean' type of a feel (cover artist for <early> "YES")
or possibly Ziggy StarDust...hmmm........an Imperator named.....
Ziggy.........

I believe I'm Inspired!

Your vision of demented wing-like Pipe Organs is spot-on target
however: I have been fiddling with the 40K SOB piece the 'Exorcist',
and that Pipe Organ piece will, just barely, fit on the Back of an
Imperator....Two Ordinatus Mars sonic Cannons under the weapon-Arm
mounts like so...put some Slaanesh ManOWar bitz on for dedoration...

<stands back to admire Ziggy the Spider from (Forge World) Mars:
Imperator of Slaanesh>

............"Behold!!! I have become Player of Akashic Records,
Listen to my Works, ye Mighty, and "Party On"........when the Warp had
Killed the Man (the Emperor), I had to Break up the Band!!!"


I believe I just may have something here....
