Scale every other vertical edge out to make a star like shape.
Scale all the horizontal edges to make it taper down to a point.
Rotate all the horizontal edges one at a time (add more degrees each time to the rotation) to create the slant.
I think that should work. I haven't tried it myself actually. But it sounds accurate.
...and that is how I saved the world.

Basically do what Dockode said, but instead of adding in the rotations manually you should use the twist modifyer to do this instead.
