Demon Prince conversion

[Sume]

Does anyone know the scale of Morathi vs a Demon Prince.  I was thinking of instead of stealing a demon prince from my Slaanesh demons.  That I grab a Morathi and stick her on a 60mm base.  Not sure if I convert the torso on her yet.  I am just not sure the scale and size.

I think she's considerably larger as she's on a 100mm base and quite a bit higher - I think she's more in scale to be a Fulgrim stand in than a demon prince.

Minicompare is a very useful site for this sort of thing. She does look a bit big.

Thank you.  Thats really helpful.  I also was looking at the Bloodwrack Medusa from the shrine, as she looks wild and the other medusa from the Daughters of Khaine but from what I can tell there about the size of a space marine.  So, I think a little to small to be a Demon prince even if put on a 60 mm.

I too looked at the models in minicompare, but would exercise caution in relying on it - I found out to my detriment in running this year's Call to Arms that its comparisons can be fairly inaccurate, and the above representation does not match my recollection of the actual model from when I saw it a few years back at my local GW.  So, while I think she is probably a fair bit bigger than the demon prince, I don't think she dwarfs it in the way minicompare suggests.

 

If you are thinking of at some point wanting a Fulgrim model, probably the best bet is to acquire a Morathi, see for yourself how big she is, and build her for whichever datasheet she's the better size match for.  And yeah, the Bloodwrack medusa seems a bit too thin for a demon prince, but could potentially be made to scale with an impressive base with opponent consent to use the base elements as part of the model for LOS purposes.  Or you could use the medusa as the world's most impressive spawn.

I saw a conversion cutting Morathi off around the middle where she starts to curve and put a demon prince torso on her.  A shame as I sort of like the slim snakey look.  It screams slaanesh to me.  Also, a suggestion I saw was get the Marwloc tail part, and cut off a demon prince at the torso and stick it up there.  I dont like the tyranid scales as much.  Its also a possibility.  I like the new demon prince kit and the old ones.  I just painted the skin purple like my demonettes as there is nothing that says I am a slaanesh prince.
