New releases are nearly always the first Saturday of the release month with additional items exactly two Saturdays later. This is neither a secret nor too hard to figure out, they've been doing it that way for quite a while now.

I haven't been buying from GW long enough to know, sorry.

Thanks for the post. This is a slight hint that they might keep the metal daemon prince..I hope. Come to think of it, this new prince looks better in fantasy, so they might still sell the other one for Chaos Space marines.

Up for pre-order now: http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/content/blogPost.jsp?aId=11500020a&utm_source=VoxCaster&utm_medium=twitter&utm_term=new-blog&utm_content=new-blog&utm_campaign=VoxCaster-New-Blog-Posts

I sent GW a polite email asking them if they'll be keeping the metal prince for a while. I'll let you guys know when I get a reply.

I love that you can give the prince trophy racks. That's awesome!

Overall, I'm not too impressed w/ the look of the new plastic Daemon Princes. I'm certainly impressed w/ all the options available but the sculpt...not so much. I'd take the old metal DP for CSM any day over using one of these for that role. However, I usually just use the old metal DP for a Greater Daemon anyway as a DP w/o wings is Dead on Arrival. Seriously considering converting a Balrog from the LoTR line for a new DP.

Actually, a balrog is a great model to use. It's got great wings and has plenty of options (well, a sword and a fisty-thing).

I've considered this too. It's cheaper than a bloodthirster!

I can't decide if I like the Horrors or not.

Personally I still can't get over how bad so much of that Daemon Prince looks.

I agree with Aduro though, I'm undecided on the horrors, they seem good, but not 'kerazy' enough IMHO...

May have found me a Daemon Prince replacement however:

I'm sorry to say, but that doesn't really look like it fits in a 40k army. It's too bulky and fleshy. It's not a bad model, but it just doesn't seem like it would look right..

I don't know, I think it COULD, Slaanesh particularly. Maybe chuck some armour parts on it?


I think those seekers look really good however, particularly for their price.

Maybe at a different posture, like standing up.

The Pink Horrors are BEGGING to be redone as California Raisins.

Simply: I'm going to start Daemons.

I'm looking at the Daemons stuff, and wonder:

Daemon Prince
- do the Daemon Prince and Soulgrinder have interchangeable torso, arm, and heads?
- are the CCW arms at least posed differently?
- how come the Daemon Prince doesn't have a left CCW arm?
- with the amount of space on the sprue, would it have killed GW to add a couple extra legs for those who'll field *multiple* Daemon Princes?

Pink Horrors
- is it just me, or are these overly spazzy?
- how come they all have 5 limbs?
- do NOT like the beaks - style-wise the metal Horrors are *far*better.

Seekers
- ugly.
- should have used the space to give a proper 6 models


Overall, I'm not hugely impressed by the plastics here.

If there were actual prices listed on the US store (Yes, I know they're listed in the U.K. store. But I'm waiting for them to finish the job...), I'd place my order a Daemon Prince, the Changeling, a box of Horrors and two boxes of Seekers. Obligatory snarky modeling comments:

Daemon Prince

Someone gave me two plastic Spawn. That means that'll be able to make an extra Daemon Prince, and can try for a He-Man themed conversion.

Pink Horrors

One of the first conversions that I did as a kid involved using a lighter to melt a plastic figure's arms. I'm looking at the plastic horrors and thinking that some of the figures could definitely benefit from some extra melting.

Seekers

I'm planning on selling off some of my metal seekers to finance buying the plastic ones. So that'll be more Seekers for everyone, right?

No
Yes
They do, they're just hands though
I wish. I hate those "Horsy" legs, where the knees fold backwards.Bleck
I'd assume that's what makes the horrible
Dunno, should've made them all have 9 limbs
Me neither, but it shows that they're tzeetch minions, which makes sense
I agree.
Sure. An extra body would be nice

Aduro wrote:I can't decide if I like the Horrors or not.

QFT. The changeling is nice though.

Those Seeker sprues sure are sparse.

The Horrors I'm... not sure on yet.

Prince is ace, 'cept for the two WFB heads that are complete gak.

Not like anyone uses WFB demon princes anyway so the bad heads arent a big deal

That DP trophy rack is the poster child for brass rod replacement. Those bits are so spindly, one trip to a con or a tourney will leave them a bundle of sticks at the bottom of your case.

I see lots of brass rod and paperclips in their future...

Otherwise, the bit looks great!

Paperclips indeed! That's a good idea, since I can just heat up the paper clip and stab through the bits I want on it. It's like a bits-shish-kabob!

After taking another look at the DP's sprue pics, I noticed something. While they do have the fantasy and 40k torsos, all the arms are clearly designed with 40k in mind. cables, tubes, battery pack or something on the sword...That's kinda irritating to be honest.

Pricing just appeared on GW US web store as follows:

Daemon Prince $33.00
Seekers $24.75
Horrors $24.75

Plastic dp is $2 cheaper than the metal one. You win GW. I will buy your new daemon prince.

Look closer. There's one that should look good for WHFB

Upon closer inspection, I think the horrors are still salvageable. They need some serious tongue pruning. The fact is, seemingly every body on the sprue is vomiting forth a tongue the size of a brisket. Looking at them again and mentally clipping those tongues off 80%-90% of the unit manages to improve the aesthetic.

Interesting, indeed...

Also, the price point isn't half bad for a box of ten, I'm almost impressed.

Horrors:

Oh man. Oh man. As a Tzeentch player, I was super excited about fateweaver and especially the changeling, but... The **** were they thinking with these? Jewellery? Feathers and beaks?

Not to mention the fact that they ALL seem to be pulling the horns. It looks like they got summoned to a metallica concert or something. :/

Dissapointed. Will be filling out my troops with metal Horrors before these hit the shelves.

Plus, they got the same sculptor who did the astoundingly cartoony Possessed Marines. Chaos is meant to be SCARY, not like seasame st mixed with dodgy hallucinogens.

What? No bloodcrushers? I guess that means I won't be doing that space wolves army.

..They're coming out a couple weeks afterwards

Oh, ok then. When I didn't see them on advance order with the rest of the demons, I thought they had been shelved. Crazy GW and their need to "surprise" us.
