Warhammer 40K Daemon Prince

[geedubelyer]

Hi everyone,

With modelling time at the bench at a premium these days I picked up this project that I'd set aside for a while.

This figure is the white metal Games Workshop Daemon Prince. It can be used in either the Warhammer or 40K universes as a Chaos character.

I'm no gamer so can't tell you anything about the way it plays, sorry.

The kit builds easily from only a few pieces. I had to use some green stuff in some joins but nothing over the top.

The model is brush painted (approximately) as per the box artwork using Citadel and Valejo acrylics over a Chaos black spray primer.

very nice work, looks great

That's a really creepy figure, nice. I think it fits more into 40K than Fantasy since it appears to be wearing a suit of power armour?

Thanks Anthony, batcode and Will, glad you like it.

I agree Will and that's why I bought it although GW include both round and square plastic bases in the box.

Lovely. The "busy-ness" of WH40K (or "Warty thou" as we used to say back when it started ) models is something I've always rather liked.

Love it! Especially the blue glow on the sword, that's a great touch.

Great work there. I've always liked that model. I've got an unopened one somewhere myself that I should probably (but most likely never will) do something with.

I think that's the case now. Though of course, back-in-the-day, one used to be able to have bolt guns and the like as wargear on your fantasy characters as the Warhammer world was cannoically in the Eye of Terror, Sigmar was probably the Emperor of Man and the Slann were infact the Old Ones and the creators of the universe (and not just their lackeys) plus loads of other silly stuff.

I'm actually quite sad all that stuff was retconned out. It gave a lot of character.

Not to mention Sloats!

And Grots and Genestealer Cults and Chaos Dwafs and Squats. Those were the days. I'm sad now

Actually I'm pretty sure I meant Zoats, sorry. Off to console myself with the Rogue Trader book now. Sorry for the derail!
