Brother Ambroz Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 So I really like to plan waaaay ahead with my stuff as the DP for my army will be the last big model I paint for my Night Lords but I want to buy all the parts before just in case they go out of production for some reason (don't ask I'm just paranoid like that). Anyways so far I'm planning on using this head (after choppin off the antlers I think the skull would look amazing as a night lord prince), possibly the wings from this kit, probably use the regular DP kit for most of the rest, I'll do a custom tail (or at least the end) but anyways..... My question was where could I find a monstrous creature sized spear and shield? I know there's plenty of axes, swords and warhammers around but other than that there isn't a whole lot.....any ideas?

Durus Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Not sure what exactly you are looking for but I'd say 54mm or 1:35 Historical miniatures would be a good place to start looking. Though a 28mm sword on a pole should look good as well, especially if you are going for a chaosblade or something like that. Largest shield bit I can think of at the moment is from hasslefree: link. *edit: just found this on their site as well* Another thought: it might be cheaper to find a sabretooth or bear skull mini/toy instead of the Forgeworld miniature. Would even leave you with some extra parts for your next terrain projects. -_- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kythnos Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 The Eldar Avatar from Forgeworld is sporting a nice spear, which might look good after some converting: http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Warhammer-4000...WITH-SPEAR.html Another option might be the Wraithseer: http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Warhammer-4000...WRAITHSEER.html No ideas for the shield though.

Glaeken Templaris Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 hmmm seems a lot of expensive bits for single model imo, ive always like the look of the LotR "demons" hereor here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
he_plays_guitar Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 The Khorne Daemon Prince has a brutal looking two handed axe, and it's pretty huge. I would recommend that axe for any demon or evil character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Ambroz Posted February 29, 2012 Author Share Posted February 29, 2012 Thank you all for the ideas brothers. I'm currently working on a terminator version of him now, using the chaos lord on manticore shield and spear for him. I wanted to try to make it look like his spear and shield grew in ascension along with him. I don't know why but I never noticed the avatar's spear, that'd probably actually work perfectly. The carnifex idea is a good one. I'll probably wind up using that as a backup plan. I'd like to be able to find an evil looking one but any would suffice. I have enough eight pointed stars laying around to chaosify any shield that winds up being the correct size along with some GS. Any other ideas though? Very helpful so far! :lol: Edit: Duros I saw that shield as well but I'm not sure it'd be big enough. Might have to order it and see. Would work pretty well if it was large enough.

Durus Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 The descriptions below the pictures in the shop contain approximate sizes. You could draw a similar shape with these measurements on paper and compare that "template" if you want to test fit something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
