Finished Daemon Prince

This is my completed Daemon Prince. As you can see I've altered it a lot from it's origins as a knock off He-Man figure, the chest plates are spares from the Venerable Dreadnought kit and extra armour from the rhinos, the shield is from a Chaos Warrior, I think. The leg plates are a mix of shields and dreadnought plates, and the arm shield is from, again, the Chaos Warriors. The Hammer is made from green stuff, an axle from a lego technic kit and 3/4 of a melta gun. The hand weapon is made from a cut off chaos chain fist and 3 other chain swords, cut off and green stuffed onto the hand. The injectors in the back are loose misslies from the Tactial Squad box set and the cabling is from an old USB cable I had knocking about and an old mileomiter from a push bike that I'd taken to bits and rebuilt a while ago that got pinched and then returned. I've painted the hammers holster and strap in that lurid colour to give the idea that it is actually daemon hide, and the shoulder plate is made from the Pink Horrors face.

Contempter Ideas

These 2 photos arwe the result of a conversation I had last night on face book about converting the Contempter into a breaching/ Ironclad type of dread. I wish I had a drill bit small enough to fit in the power fist recess but the ones in my tool box are just too damn big for that. The top photo is of a screw and the bottom photo is of a centre punch

WIP Daemon Prince

Here we have my work in progress daemon Prince for the Iron Warriors. I've added some more of the Dreadnought plating to the chest and am adding some shields I've got in my bits box to the legs and arms as extra armour bolted onto the body. The one on the shoulder does have a face mask on it and I am going to use this as it's legion badge. I've pretty much used up all of the extra plates that came with the Venerable Dreadnought

And on a side note for the first time I've had over 700 page views in one month!

First Apparence?




How did I miss this Contemptor? Added a bigger, if not better, picture. And why are the Iron Hands on the front cover of Fulgrims book, why not the Phonecian himself?

Daemon Prince






So my quest for a large cyber-construct continues slowly, I'm currently building a temporary model from a, I think, knock off He-Man type action figure. I've cut the legs off and glued them back on, and cut off below the knees and reacted so as to loose the squatting on the toilet pose most of the figures come with. I've also cut one arm off at teh elbow and replaced it with the other part of the pen barrel that made the Baneswords cannon although on the proper model I'll be trying to make a 3 barreled cannon as Doom Bolt is an Assault 3 shooting attack. For close combat I've started to make a big war hammer for this to be armed with. I've got plenty of work to go on this model and will be busy with it all week. Paint job is going to be really easy, black gloss over everything, then give it a dry brush with bolt gun metal and tin bits.

Daemon Prince



My orginal plan for my Daemon Prince was going ot be a conversion of the Dreadknight, the old Iron Warriors Lord had killed one in combat and taken the suit as his own and when he accended to Daemonhood his form assumed that of the suit. But my mate was taking to me the other night about how good a model the Contemptor is and had I not had thoughts of turning that into a Daemon Prince. Thanks Julian. I currnetly can't afford one let alone the other but it has got me thinking, damn it, about making my Iron Warriors Daemon Prince out of a Contemptor instead of the Dreadknight. My plan is to get a 2nd Contemptor and find some wings and fit it with the vibro looking cannon that is cominng and a power fist with a big hammer type close combat weapon.

Rouge Trader

The top 2 photos show the first 12 Chapters of Space Marines, as Rouge Trader is, supposedly, set at the time of the Great Crusade that means that these 12 are technically the Legions... And the bottom 2 show the Emperor enshrined in the Golden Throne during the Great Crusade, not after the Horus Heresy. The Horus Heresy only came about when GW brought out the Adeptus Titanicus as they couldn't afford to put a different race of Titans in and needed a reason to have 2 sets of the same Titans fighting and they created The Horus Heresy to cover it. Yes this is another hack for pics and to update my info as I find out the source.
