So after a night of staying up far later than I should with a few friends playing 40k, I finally got round to putting together and painting my first daemon prince so I could play Chaos.

This is the result! Not quite finished, I still want to do some extra highlighting (such as picking out the metal more) and I still need to finish the trampled guardsman and the basing. Should have him done some time this week if I get chance before our house move, but thoroughly impressed by his first match against Orks and Necrons (using black mace counts as, actual mace soon to come)

Sorry for the pish-poor camera quality, down to my phone at the moment...

Comments and suggestions welcome as always

Very nice, it's hard to tell where his flesh ends and his armor begins.
Very threatening looking! Keep it up.

looking good!...I think the finishing touches you mentioned will pretty much nail it too

I really like the head, the big sinister grin and small dark eyes remind me a lot of the (awesome) forgeworld great unclean one...works really well!

You've done a great job I really like it

Thanks all, been a bit busy with our move this week so unfortunately I've not had chance to finishing him off. My friend is wanting a bit of help with his Orks he's got for his birthday this weekend though, so it should see care and some improvements soon

This was actually my first time working with Green Stuff (or milliput green/grey in this case) and I've got to say it wasn't a pleasant experience, that stuff is incredibly sticky! had to clean my fingers off every 2 minutes! Does anyone have any more experience working with it for the more detailed sculpts? as messy as it was, I really liked the outcome and would like to try a few more, maybe get round to properly starting my Deathguard army

definitely have a bowl/dish/container of water on hand, keep the greenstuff, your hands, and any tools you're using wet

...I hear a lot of people use vaseline instead of water, but I haven't tried that yet, as I'm not sure how you would go about cleaning it off afterwards so paint can stick to it...

...that said, I'm no expert with greenstuff, I've only used it 3 or 4 times I think, and nothing too detailed...I'm sure other people around here could give you more detailed/helpful advice.

Water based personal lubricant works great. Stays for a while, but cleans up after a quick rinse. Honestly, looking good. My only complaint is the glowing green bits not quite matching up with the rest of the model.
