Starting a largely converted Slaanesh army. Incorporating witch elves, ogres, banshees and mournguls (the restless souls due to a life of excess), etc.
Don't like the daemonette heads very much though. Found this gorgeous picture and wondered if any company had created a head like this??
Would be thrilled if anyone knew of one.
Thanks in advance for the help.

I think some of the old Juan Diaz Daemonette heads looked like this (single horn and kind of tentacle/dreads). Unfortunately they are out of production. If you are patient you can pick them up on eBay for non-extortionate prices.

One of the Seekers of Slaanesh has that head.
And yes that's the old Diaz designs, complete with cloth.

Yep, can confirm its a Juan Diaz model. They are insanely expensive if you can find them!
One other suggestion try Raging Heroes Preying Mantis

If you can find those models you won't even need to convert. That pic is of an old 3.5 edition Daemonette. Looks much better than the plastic ones we have now.

Thanks everyone!!!
Hadn't looked at the Diaz heads closely enough to see they were what I was looking for.
Now it's time to slowly acquire my most expensive unit...
Really appreciate the help solving this mystery!! Automatically Appended Next Post: And yes, the Raging heroes Mantis are solid. Have a block of 30 or 40 of those coming.... At some unknown date

I have acquired a good chunk of the daemonettes and seekers over the last month or so in the UK. I think they are fantastic models and combine with the Raging Heroes models well as they are similar scale/style.
If you are impatient you have to pay £14ish per model for BIN sales. I waited for auctions that were not finishing at peak times (e.g. not Sunday evening but Saturday morning). By sniping the auctions at the end I've gathered about 40 daemonettes and seekers for an average of just under £4 each. Being patient paid off. I actually planned to sell some of them to recoup most of the expense but seeing them in person I've decided to keep them. IMO they blow the current plastic models away.
Not sure what the eBay market is like in the US for them so my advice might not transfer perfectly. However, patience is definitely the key.
