Pics of the resin prototype of the seekers and the DP.

One of your pictures seems to not be working good sir Oliveraso_74.

who else thinks the new DP looks just...well just TERRIBLE!

I for one like it. Hate all you want but it looks good.

Best picture of that Daemon Prince I've seen yet. He looks alright. The new Bloodcrusher doesn't look as good as the not-very-old metal one. The Lord of Change/named Lord of Change looks pretty good. Horrors look like bubblegum as always.

This is right on. Hopefully there are different heads and ways to pose it.

Is this necessarilly a bad thing?

I like them. Already converted a fateweaver and changeling, so no need for them, and unless I need more than the Chester, I've got enough Bloodcrushers. I've also already got two princes, although I'm intrigued about the potential options with the Daemon Prince.

The seekers, on the other hand...I like the way they look. They will definitely go nicely with my army.

by any chance, are those daemonettes actually come stuck onto the seekers, or you can choose not to stick them on? had an idea for my EC army

Looking closely at the pictures, it appears there's a seam between the rider and mount.

yeah i can see a little gap, do you think the seekers will be good conversions for alternate bikers?

I just wanna know why theres a fish on top of Kairos' staff...

Obviously, he just got back from a trip to Mordheim.

The fish is a recurring symbol of Tzeentch.

Plus, bird-demons like to eat fish.

Double QFT

Maybe the paintjob was what was bothering me, but the one at the top of this page looks good. The wings are pretty cool,and he still looks sinister enough there.

It's a hidden hint for the next army book, the fishmen

You mean Tau?

It's finally good to see that the plastic DP has been confirmed and the page 9 picture of it looks awesome. I hope that there are additional accessories in the kit that havn't been shown in the pictures of it we have seen so far.

Random duck skull is a perfectly good hat, apparently, eh lord of change?

I'm...very underwhelmed, and in the case of the DP just all around disappointed. Every possible configuration we've seen so far has looked like utter garbage, and that one is no exception. The metal one is far superior and I personally hope they keep selling it as a collector's model...

The only models I really like are Kairos and the bloodcrushers, everything else is just "meh" or crap (the crap being the DP and the horrors, whoever they have designing the new Chaos stuff now needs to be fired...it's all Saturday-morning-cartoon level villainy with huge, stupid grins, it just looks too damn "soft"). And the bloodcrushers just seem like a waste to me, they already took up a release slot the first time when they came out in metal, and while plastic is cheaper and usually better for stuff like that, it just makes me feel like the initial release was pointless as the model existed for only a couple of years before being replaced. It's like if, for the Tyranid second wave, instead of giving us a plastic kit we really needed and wanted (like the tyrannofex/tervigon), they just said screw it and released hive guard again, but in plastic (and since this is GW they would be about the same price as the metals and thus no one would give a gak anyway).

Another thing, anyone else think it's funny that the new DP actually has a disturbing lack of skulls on him? They stick skulls on every single other release, even the Lizardmen's dinosaur mounts have skulls strapped to them, but a DEMON doesn't have a single trophy (or the cool-looking skull-stalks on the "backpack" like the metal DP)? It's a demon, a former Marine who has no doubt killed millions during his long ascension to daemonhood, if anything deserves to be adorned with skulls then you'd think it would be a daemon prince. LOL NOPE. This guy never once kept the head of a slain champion or hated foe.

It just seems like GW is trying to piss off Chaos players as much as possible. Either that or they think everyone who plays a Chaos army is 12. And how appropriate that the DP is giving everyone the finger (sort of).

Over-generalize much? I think this newest pic makes the DP look better (though I liked it anyway when we first saw it and it being plastic makes it a no-brainer purchase).

I'm sure GW aren't purposely pissing in your corn flakes. At least you gave a good reason not to like it, even if you did make the blanket statement involving all Chaos players.

I like the new Daemon Prince. It's not better than the old one, but GW isn't going to send death squads to take away your metal Princes once it's released.

Plastic Daemon Prince looks AWESOME.

I'm really glad they made it so intimidating. I'll admit the old one was just as intimidating, but the new one is plastic.

My general thoughts...

1. DP: Oh boy, I love it. I might not play Chaos, but it looks beautiful.
2. Fateweaver: Beautiful, looks really detailed and not as spindly as the old Lord of Change.
3. Changeling: Lovely, looks really sinister.
4. Bloodcrusher: I like it, even if I would have preferred plastic plaguebearers.
5. Horrors: Ehh... Could be better. I'll admit, I actually like the metal ones looking like twisted taffy. Probably would look better with a different colorscheme.
6. Seekers: Ew. The steeds lost their sleekness and look a bit too much like Fleshhounds. The Daemonettes still look pretty bad in the face region.

It's the exact same model, with a few details altered so it can be made in plastic.

Different pose, different weapons, different hands, different armour, different face.

It looks like utter, utter crap. He looks like he's leaning over to give somebody a hug. Awful model.

Seekers are crap.

Changeling looks good.

Fateweaver is meh.

Horrors are meh, they're nice but I prefer the metal ones.

bloodcrusher is good and if in plastic that'll be the basis for my thunderwolves then.

Well, by being plastic, you could prolly pose the arms differently.

The new face is beyond stupid, it lost all evil-ness. The new one looks like some stupid ork face or something,those horns are trashy,and the general shape is very modular and boxie. AND that's just the face. I could point out numerous differences between them, but I'm too tired to type and more. Look a little closer there, bub.

It's the exact same face.

Seriously. Tilt the picture a bit if you need to on the new one, but it's the same face.

No it isn't.
The horns are a different shape, the new ones are flattened out more and have different detailing on them.
the eyes are different.
the brow is different, the metal one has studded rivets, the new one has a confused furrow

The one saving grace of this model is that it is plastic.

But "it won't be hard to make it better" does not mean it doesn't look crap.

I'm happy chaos players got an easily convertible DP, I'm sure it'll sell like hotcakes and some talented people will make stunning models based on it.

But the basic kit, IMHO, massive turd.

I personally like the new DP, though as to whether or not i pick one up will remain to be seen. I am quite content with my belakor and LoC as my Daemon princes. I think the new one though is needed for daemons as the old ones, both the generic and the nurgle, were too much like roided out Space Marines to really fit in a Chaos Daemons army.

Even though i dont typically run the Changeling i will probably be picking up that though as it is a rather good looking model.

The Horrors dont look too bad and if i need to get more to flesh out the ones i have they will do nicely.

A little disappointed that plaguebearers didnt make the cut but i will continue to use my Beastmen Pestigors as Plaguebearers.

And as much as the seekers dont seem to be getting any love at all, i for one am quite pleased to see them. What point was there in making them the best fast attack choice in the codex and then making it so you couldnt find any anywhere. I will definitely be picking up a box or two of them.

Just my two cents

I'm going to

I go away for the weekend, someone puts up daemon pics and I CAN'T SEE THEM!!!! (stupid work computer).

Can anybody help me out??

that's actually killed any interest I may have had for another Daemon release.

who've they got sculpting those things? they all look terrible..

I blame all of you people who complain whenever something is released in metal on account of it being too difficult to assemble or convert. we used to have such beautiful models being released, but you've killed them.
