Cpt_Reaper Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Soon i plan to get off my rear and make a 3 part Chaos army led by a daemon prince. It will be 1 part Thousand Sons, 1 part Chaos Marines and 1 part Daemons. In Apoc the Daemons will be used as a Chaos Daemons list but it is the Daemon Prince I am concentrating on. I plan to use the Balrog as a basis for conversion. What is your opinion on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornelias Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 just beware if your planing on entering any official GW tournament i don't think they allow models from the LOTR range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Humongous Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 I'm pretty sure you CAN use LoTR bits and figs in 40K tournaments now. Afaik, the LoTR figures were only disallowed from 40k fantasy tournaments because of the terms of GWs LoTR license (something about creating a clear division between the games / not "cross promoting"). From what I gather, that specific clause had a limited term and expired about a year ago, or at least now has more relaxed terms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zhukov Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Nothing wrong with it. I own a Balrog too, but in the end could not hurt the damn thing. So I gave it to my brother who loves LotR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron-Daemon Forge Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Yep you are now allowed to use LotR model in some tournaments (depend the tournament & rules), however you will not be allowed up for best army nor will your models be allow on the GW web site/White Dwarf. I seen a few people useing the Balrog as a Daemon Prince/Greater Daemon. Though for me personial I preffer the GW Metal Chaos Daemon Prince for 40k, second favrout model (none converted).

Sons of Horus Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 isn't the balrog too big to be a normal DP? but if size doesn't matter then go ahead :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Lord Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Oddly, the miniatures Gallery at GW HQ Lenton has a wyvern conversion based heavily on a Fell Steed. Looks like they don't have too much trouble with the notion of doing the conversions themselves and putting them in pride of place in the gallery.
