Lord Kallozar Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 If ever we think of daemon princes we mostly think of gigantic transcended space marines, however is it possible in the fluff to get daemon princes that are kinda “formless” per say? For example a Tzeentch prince that had the form of a multicoloured flame or a Khorne prince that had the form of trickling blood (imagining Carnage type thing) or a Nurgle prince that had the form of an air born disease? With each “formless” daemon prince they hunt down mortal hosts to possess them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuskRaider Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Well technically Daemon Princes don't have a corporeal form, they're made of warp energy akin to trueborn Daemons. They can manifest, but it's not real flesh and blood. They're an aspect of their God along with perhaps some traces of their former selves.

Azekai Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Sounds fine for a Daemon Prince to temporarily take those forms but potentially unimpressive and/or limiting to be forever a pool of blood or a lick of flame. I like the idea of a crafty Daemon disguising itself or ‘melting’ into blood or a torrent of fire to pursue a foe... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hushrong Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 I always wanted that trapped C'tan thing from the necron monolith to be used as a daemon prince. This form of warp energy mimicking humanoid form and floating about. It would be like Dr. Manhattan when he first tried to recompose his body. I even had the warp beast monster from the WFHB line because it had a vortex on its back that I wanted to use as daemon prince as well. That was literally going to be a bodiless form of energy floating around. Just going off that idea that it didn't need a corporeal form because it considered itself so ascended. These were trippy ideas for Tzeentchain DP's when I was trying daemons years back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciler Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 In A Thousand Sons, Magnus meets a daemon (that may actually be tzeench itself) that remains formless for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevak Dal Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 I wrote the Brass Apostle to take a almost human form, roughly space marine sized, and only when he gets well and truly zealously pissed off and on a rant does he Hulk/Super Saiyan out into a full daemon prince.

the emperor is scottish Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 In the soul drinkers books there is a demon prince of nurgle that is a collection of viruses and poxes that diffuses itself between multiple hosts.I'm sure there's one part of the book where its spread through hundreds of humans and controls them and talks through them at the same time.

Pandoras Bitz Box Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 In a short story (possibly called daemon blood) im going to take insparation fron fallen ultramarine for a new possesses at some point... The daemon prince of nurgle that turns him is a vast subainian sea of filth. Its fave appears in a massive wave in the sludge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Blank Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 In Storm of Iron by Graham McNeil (amazing read btw) there's a Iron Warriors warsmith on the verge of daemonhood who becomes shadowy and nebulous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 It's fully feasible, and these do exist, but they are impractical for gameplay, which is why they don't have models. The current model is an easy to recognise archetype, which facilitates recognition. No reason you couldn't have a column of fire, giant swarm of flies or animated suit of armour.
