GW has shown of a new cool purple sun. I wonder if it could be used as a great alternet model to some form of daemon?

There used to be different daemons I belive, but the models GW has made are the most famous once. I always liked the idea to use different models as alternative models.

In the old Exalted RPG by white wolf there was a Yozei (part of a creator demon) called Ligier that was a green sun. Would it be cool to use this purple blob as a greater demon of you git it on a tall stand? Possible a keeper of secrets. Or would other models be more fitting?

The GW model just look very good.

I'm not sure what you'd use it as.

If, however, this is the start of all spells being represented by models...feth that. I hope that's not the case, but I got that feeling from the intro and the info.

Chaos Spawn maybe? A weird brain ball esc. Tzeentch Daemon Prince?

I was thinking some Tzeentch monstrus creature. It does not have a lot of arms, but it could do spells propperly enough. Just prop it up to get the right hight so it does not cheese on targeting.

I don't know enough about daemons, neither the prince of the greater daemon of tzentch.

You couldn't really use it as a Greater Daemon of Tzeentch: Lords of Change have a very specific birdy look. But a Daemon Prince has no set look, a DP of Tzeentch could quite easily just be a big head.

GW is clearly just not even trying anymore.

Can sea urchins be corrupted by Chaos? Maybe a Giant Sea Urchin of Tzeentch?

It would clearly be a count ass, I am trying to come up with other models that could be cool.

Gonna be honest, some spells really should have had things that were 'required' for them.

It looks like this will be a return of the "Purple Sun of Xereus" spell, which put a magical vortex using the 'small round template' and it was supposed to move every turn. I'm okay with there being a model for us to at least know how to scratchbuild something like this.

So what is it you want to do with this new model? I'm sorry if I'm not fully understanding you.

Oh, I'd totally turn that into an (eye of the) Beholder from Dungeons and Dragons:
