Time for another Friday Poll.

[JamesI]

I'm undecided. I've pretty much stopped playing chaos since Codex BA came out, and I am happy with the demon prince I have. But this model is pretty cool, so I might grab it anyway.

[Gore-Child]

Consistent votes.

 

I'm not sure yet, I don't run a DP. But I might soon

[Lexington]

Nah. I have a Daemon Prince (who's really not a Daemon Prince) that suits me just fine - the old Vermin Lord model. Besides that, the new one looks pretty fugly.

[minigun762]

I'm quite happy with it. The only thing that has bothered me is the super long fingers but that was on the metal version as well.

 

From the pictures I've seen, I think the axe would be my first choice for weapon.

[Dan The Deamon]

You know, having a multi part plastic kit means a lot of possibilities for converting and future bits. In addition now that there is an expensive model we can count on them staying a good choice if we get a new codex.

 

I have about 4 old ones in various forms. If i get one he will probably rarely see game time. it is a great sculpt though.

[goldenwonder]

I've fancied adding a DP to my list for a while now but my dislike for assembling metal models has held me back. This kit corrects the problem nicely.

 

I prefer the look and legs of the metal model but the new plastic kit is very nice and has conversion potential.

 

Only thing I cannot settle on at the moment is whether to use the axe or the sword... :pinch:

Use both! (magnets).

I'll be buying a Daemon Prince to convert into a new Bloodthrister for my Daemons force. Some bits of the new Daemon kit which is pretty cool, but other than that my Iron Warriors are happy with the current metal Daemon Prince (one of my favrout models).

 

Then off course might pick up a few when I start other legion's of our great Chaos armies.

I will almost certainly get one at some point for the heck of it. I probably wont get it right away though

[Irabrai]

I'll be preordering it as soon as i've got money. It (along with the Horrors) are pretty much the main reason why i've started a Thousand Sons army

That brings up a good question.

 

How much of an option do we have in converting the new DP into the various Greater Daemons?

 

I can see it working for the Bloodthirster easily. With some work you could get the Keeper and Lord of Change but a Great Unclean One might be difficult without going heavy on the GS.

you i think probably the easiest would be bloodthirster followed by the keeper then lord of change, i reckon using bits from the spawn kit would work wonders for the last two :P

[Drudge Dreadnought]

I have plans to mix the new prince kit with the old metal one. We'll see how that works out.

[Possessed Marine]

the new prince looks great, am tinkering with the idea of GSing a serpent body to stick a second torso onto, so I can have 2 DP's for the price of one. Thinking bare chested one for that, looks a little Tzeentchian.

[firestorm40k]

I ordered mine yesterday :) :)

Same here, post pictures please!

[Snugsmike]

I love the new model, I can't wait to get one. I'm so glad that they finally added wings to the kit. Perhaps from now on, GW will actually provide enough pieces in their kits to actually model all of the varients of gear?

[Lady_Canoness]

The Metal Prince is too awesome to be replaced, but I smell a plastic generic greater daemon!

[Yogi]

When chaos gets a new codex I might pick one up. Otherwise no.

[Whitefireinferno]

Possibly will pick one up Just to make a cool Model it even might make me start a chaos army and put to use my Huron and some SOBR tacts.

[Argon]

On the one hand, I sort of don't like daemon princes, simply because everyone uses them so I think of them as being somewhat "powergamer-ish", even if that isn't really true.

 

On the other, it would make a pretty good display piece. Without wings, obviously.

[Xeonic]

Will be kitbashing one with the new loyalist venerable dread for my IWs... looking at the sprues there might even get enough parts for two princes at that(arms and head will be mainly the conversion). :)
