Dysorange Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Hello everyone, I am trying to build a Daemon Prince for a competition, where I'd like him to be using the Black Mace. My issue is, I need to model it properly and the Daemon Prince box has no option for a Mace. Would someone have any ideas on how to model it? My favorite method would be to use an existing bit from another model and try to match it with the basic Daemon prince, my sculpting and GS skills being relatively low..... For now my main option seems to be the Skaven Plague Furnace's swinging ball. But that is a heavy kit to purchase just for using a single bit... http://www.games-workshop.com/resources/catalog/product/600x620/99120206010_PlagueFurnaceNEW01.jpg Maybe there would be a third party retailer with an appropriate bits? Thank you in advance for any help :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/307522-black-mace-on-daemon-prince/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
BetterOffShred Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Ebay baby! You can snag any bit you want off of that place. I like Hoard o Bits quite a bit, and theres quite a few others that have lots of selection. I think the Tyranid bits have quite a few giblets that can be turned into gnarly looking maces. -Brett after I post this, I went and looked.. Hoard O bits has that for 7 bucks. Boom.

Sception Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Honestly, that skaven ball's a bit big. What I'd recommend is the Vampire Counts Corpse Cart brazier of flaming skulls bit, just trim the spike off the bottom, cut the axe head off the plastic prince axe, and glue the brazier on there. It's what I did for my black mace: http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z142/Malisteen/Black%20Legion/Prince21_zps022717d0.jpg It's a popular bit, infrequently available in bits resellers, but if you have any vamp counts players in your store, they may have the bit spare if they built a corpse cart with the bell instead. You could also try putting out feelers in trading forums on vamp counts sites. I'd recommend vampirecounts.net.

Cheex Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I used four of the jump pack fins from the Raptor/Warp Talon box in place of the Daemon Prince's axe head. It's a little small perhaps, but is vaguely reminiscent of Sauron's mace and works well enough for me.

Excessus Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Just for inspiration and size comparison if you are keen on using the skaven thingy: I think it's a little bit large though...

Lord Asvaldir Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 There are some great maces in the chaos knights box, and I have no doubt you could pick those maces up off ebay. Might be on the small side though for a deamon prince.

Xenith Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Maybe a small aerosol can? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/307522-black-mace-on-daemon-prince/#findComment-4041312 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaeron Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Malisteen - that's awesome, really like that. That Dread is awesome Excessus - reminds me of the old Chaos Dreadnaught close combat weaponry...

Excessus Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Malisteen - that's awesome, really like that. That Dread is awesome Excessus - reminds me of the old Chaos Dreadnaught close combat weaponry... Yeah, unfortunately it's not mine... Also, too bad they discontinued the hammer at the end of the old metal dread's lifespan... [Edit]: But what about the new brute's hammer? http://www.games-workshop.com/resources/catalog/product/600x620/99120102043_CSMHelbrute02.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/307522-black-mace-on-daemon-prince/#findComment-4041585 Share on other sites More sharing options...
abadizzle Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I used the helbrute Thunder Hammer Excessus! Its neat and will work just fine... But that example from Malisteen... Whoa. That's perfect Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/307522-black-mace-on-daemon-prince/#findComment-4041677 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Skull Mask Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I built my black mace out of parts of chaos icons from the CSM box. For the handle I used a tooth pick. http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk33/Therrous/20140531_162221.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/307522-black-mace-on-daemon-prince/#findComment-4042086 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khornestar Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I used some old WoC kit, not sure which to be totally honest. I was inspired by someone else's Black Mace from years back, reminded me of Sauron's mace from the Lord of the Rings movies. A bunch of axe blades glued around the central lance bit. http://i.imgur.com/LHYKg3x.jpg http://i.imgur.com/wr1pTbs.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/307522-black-mace-on-daemon-prince/#findComment-4042259 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aspiringchaoschampion Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 I used one of the tenticle things off the power scourge from the defiler kit i wanted a more flail look to it like the flail weapon from ratchet and clank Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/307522-black-mace-on-daemon-prince/#findComment-4043307 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnightmare Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 I'll be honest, I totally robbed Mal's idea as I had a corpse cart lying about! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/307522-black-mace-on-daemon-prince/#findComment-4043753 Share on other sites More sharing options...
