Diary of a Daemon Prince

[Cthulhu_gump]

I decided a little while ago that I was going to add a Daemon Prince to the upcoming Chaos army that Im planning and working on. Yesterday the inspiration came after a game of 40K and while I was doing some modeling on my Chaos Titan.

This is the first attempt, but I dont know if its going to be the last

I started with mostly old Epic bits and pieces that I had been using for Nurglings for 40K, chopping the Bloodletter( ? ) in half to get some legs and then cutting up a Troll for the torso, I put these together to get a basic idea of the size and a rough shape of what I wanted.







After this I cut up a Minotaur to get the head with the pointy horns for the head, Im not entirely sure if this will be a head that I'll keep, but its a starting point.





I then got this pink dude (think its a horror or something...) and took his arms off, one of the hands would be converted into a powerfist and the other was removed to put on the Bloodletter hand.







The Bloodletter sword and hand were readjusted and were added.











The next stage was to try to bring it up to a position that it sort of looked like an Epic figures, so SM shoulder pads were then made up with putty.







I then began on the torso armour, but as the camera batteries died, they'll have to wait till the next installment.

Ok, I got a little bit more work done on the dude, basically his breast plate and rear armour.

A little bit more work was done on the Daemon Prince with leftover Putty from work on the titan.

I decided to take the Left hand off and make the powerfist rather than using what was there, this also gave me a little more space to work on the leggings. They were supposed to look like the old Roman style leather strips that would cover the groin area (cant remember their name...), but in the end it started to look more like a Kilt, so now he's a Scottish Daemon!

I aslo did a bit of work trying to make his head and hair look right at the back, and worked on the shoulder spikes.

Im working on his Powerfist in between extra shifts at work, then some wings I think.

I'm actually thinking of making a complete DP from the ground up once he is done, Maybe even get the mould done down at Eureka, but really that might just be wishful thinking...

Excellent work and a great source of insperation. Where did you get the head for the titan?

Cheers,
