Panda_ Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Is it accepted to use the Astrogath model as a Daemon Prince ? Do they are "comparable" model size ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lungboy Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Who is Astrogath? Do you mean Astorath, the Blood Angels bloke? If so, he's just a normal SM so not even close to being Daemon Prince size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fivepointedstar Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 your better off using Mephy since his stats are OP. lol But there your models do what you will with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lungboy Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 But there your models do what you will with them. Not really the case though, using a 25mm-based model, or even a 40mm when the model should have a 60, might raise a few eyebrows at the very least.

JamesI Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 I've used the Astorath model as a chaos lord. He's too small to be a prince Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panda_ Posted November 11, 2011 Author Share Posted November 11, 2011 In fact, I was looking for a cool fearsome model, approx DP size. And I thank Astrorath was a good alternative. If he is not, I'd have to look forward another fig which, I hope, isn't too "mutated". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevlarshark Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Do you mean An'ggrath the unbound? Suppose the pronounciation could be nearly "Astrogath" He looks basically like a giant blood thirster? If so he is huge, regular Deamonprinces or even Blood thirsters are about waist height on him, so using him as a regular Deamon prince might feel a bit 'Weak'. But I dont think any sensible opponent would object, he is so big anything on the board would be able to shot at him with minimum chance of cover saves. So you dont gain too much by using him.

Suppose the pronounciation could be nearly "Astrogath"He looks basically like a giant blood thirster? Actually, it's Astrogath. Sadly, he is too small.

Lungboy Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 I wouldn't say that any of those work as a DP. Is there any reason you don't want to use the plastic DP or the Nurgle DP or Be'lakor or a FW DP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightGount Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 I guess he does not want to use the ugly winged minotaur model for good reasons. 1) it looks like a winged minotaur with a tail and manga style super deformed arms. I would never use that, it's silly and bad looking (not just for Slaaneshi demons, for all legions actually!) 2) from the OP avatar, i could say he wants to play Night Lords. That's why he is looking for something else than a ferking mutant freak. This being said, i'd simply truescale a regular marine. You end up with something easily close to 1/35 scale. Put that on dp sized base, and here we go! That's what i'd do, at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos Lord Shamrockius Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 I always wondered about getting an old model from the Inquisitor game and converting it with GS etc to make it chaosy. I think it'd be the right scale and I am pretty sure it'd work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lungboy Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 There's a daemon-host model (Cherubael) in the Inquisitor range, no idea if it would work as a DP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kythnos Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Inquisitor Tyrus (from the Inquisitor specialist game) can be easily made into a heavily armored Demon Prince. Perfect for Iron Warriors and surely also suitable for different legions with a few adjustments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Ambroz Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 What I do with my army is use these as captured beasts/warp-beasts. They're kept caged until the time for battle is right and then unleashed upon my warband's foes. I use them as DPs in game but in the fluff they're something else entirely. Hope that helps a bit. -TG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellios Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Archaon might be big enough... He is tall enough that he still looms over models in terminator armour... I'm talking about Archaon on foot... On a mount he will be even taller! I personally do not feel Daemon Princes need to be big from a fluff perspective... Some of the powerful gifts and mutations of chaos are most insidious. If you play tournies you might have problems but if you play with friends get a 60mm base and stick your model on and maybe give some slack with LOS. Also ideally he should look like a DP and not just a chaos lord... This normally means being noticeably bigger or having a load of mutations... I think Archaon with conversion work... and maybe wings? would be acceptable in most friendly situations... Tournies vary from event to event.

red_starrise Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 If you were to take this guy: http://www.games-workshop.com/MEDIA_CustomProductCatalog/m1184316_99111399035_INQChaosMagusMain_445x319.jpg & give him one of the defiler masks he'd be a good base for a daemon prince.

Panda_ Posted November 14, 2011 Author Share Posted November 14, 2011 What if I use a winged dreadnough ? (rather one with some kind of custom made Jetpack) ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesI Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 What if I use a winged dreadnough ? (rather one with some kind of custom made Jetpack) ? I used to have an Iron Warriors opponent who had a demon prince modeled out of a dread with a custom jumppack. Looked really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lungboy Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Some sort of possessed Dreadnaught might work really nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dammeron Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Night Bringer from the Necron range with the addition of wings, perhaps a scythe-like weapon or talons would make a superb Night Lords daemon prince. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
