Jeffy.Gee Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 I'd like to model the new plastic Demon prince with an accursed crozius for my Word Bearers so I need something suitably menacing and mace like which still says 'Chaos' which is still to the correct scale of the Prince. Any ideas? And lets please not get into a rules or fluff discussion about whether or not a Dark Apostle could asscend to Princehood.

Hemal Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Try some of the Ogre Kingdom's models - I am sure there are a few maces-type clubs -Greasus Goldtooth comes to mind as I think he has a big mace covered in golden ornamentation...

slmellon Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 I dont know what you could use as the staff, but if you had two of the chaos backpack icons you could make a decent crozius. Take the second one and cut the ring out so you could reglue the ring halves opposite the other icon. Makes a 3D Icon which could be used as the crozius. I hope you can "see" what I am talking about Hope it helps Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/209649-word-bearer-demon-princes-accursed-crozius/#findComment-2503645 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumai Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 You could probably cook something up by starting with a weapon from the WHFB minotaur sprue. The size and feel is right.

Montuhotep Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 I saw a neat idea for a 'Crozius' that's a morning star but on a prince it looks brilliant - the plague censer from the Skaven Screaming Bell kit. It looks a little oversized at first, I'll admit, but after awhile it looks better.

Jeffy.Gee Posted September 10, 2010 Author Share Posted September 10, 2010 First, thankyou everyone for your time and ideas, they are all appreciated. Hemal-The Greasus model is cool but the mace part isn't quite what I'm looking for. That and it's £35. And metal. :D Slmellon-Did you mean... http://www.bitzbox.co.uk/images/chaos_spac..._2007_large.jpg ? I think I understood what you meant and it's a good idea. One that I'll consider. Sword Brethren-The defiler star looks a bit thin and flimsy. Paladin7221-I love the idea of a DP with a morning star but it's not very Word Bearerish. Maybe for a future conversion for my WFB Demon Prince. If anyone else has any more ideas I'm open to them, as I'll most likely not get the model for a few weeks (birthday is coming up soon) and I may treat myself to some more plastic crack.

nurglez Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 how about something like the mace from dawn of war (cant remember which expansion it was but was from the first series of games :)) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v287/superhiro/ChaosBLARGH.jpg maybe, get some warhammer wheels and mesh them together, then add some spikes?

m_r_parker Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 It might be a bit small, but the weapons from the Chaos Knights are particularly good - and I think this one fit's particularly well. http://www.bitzbox.co.uk/images/chaos_knights_mace_1_large.jpg Again, might be a bit small Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/209649-word-bearer-demon-princes-accursed-crozius/#findComment-2509267 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffy.Gee Posted September 11, 2010 Author Share Posted September 11, 2010 Mr.Parker yeah that really is too small! It would look funny as hell though, a thirty foot Daemonic wrecking machine who has sacrificed entire planets to gain the slighest favour with his chosen deities, wielding something that small. Maybe I'll magnetise the arm and swap it out for some battles. :D JG Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/209649-word-bearer-demon-princes-accursed-crozius/#findComment-2509569 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montuhotep Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Ahhh, but imagine an up-scaled mace appropriately sized for a DP! Now that would look mean as Hell....

Jeffy.Gee Posted September 12, 2010 Author Share Posted September 12, 2010 Well that's essentially what I'm after. A gigantic mace head that I could swap for the axe head. If anyone has any ideas from models outside of GW's ranges they would be welcome too.

Hemal Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Make it at home better - you could use a marble or a ping pong ball for the basis. for example..

Imperialis_Dominatus Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 You could chop up and use the haft of the Terminator sorcerer model. The head I dunno. Maybe one of the vehicle Icon stars.

MattCrawford Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 There's a Word Bearer's blog in WIP right now, guy has a sweet tutorial for making the head out of two Chaos Marauder icons. Just add a plasticard/metal rod and you should have a large, good looking Accursed Crozius.

Jeffy.Gee Posted September 18, 2010 Author Share Posted September 18, 2010 There's a Word Bearer's blog in WIP right now, guy has a sweet tutorial for making the head out of two Chaos Marauder icons. Just add a plasticard/metal rod and you should have a large, good looking Accursed Crozius. I saw this as well and I'll most likely use it. For the haft I'll probably use axe handle that comes with the prince. Depending on funds this week I'll be picking it up and getting started on him. Finding the bitz for the crozius from a bitzsite may take a while due to the unpredictable nature they work with. I'll invariably use this as my WIP thread so I'll update it with pictures once it gets underway. In the mean time, if any one has any more ideas please post them up as so far you guys have been great. Thanks.

Billy Butcher Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 The Power Maul from the Dark Angel Sprue is pretty cool as well. Or it's time to raid the Chaos vehicle sprues...
