Do anyone have an unpainted Juan Diaz Daemon Prince?
Because I am so buying it if you guys have one.
I cant find it anywhere other than Australian GW site, which I don't live there.

Check out the Dakka Swap Shop, that's where you'll find people buying or selling miniatures.

I know what Juan Diaz Daemonettes are, but I've never heard of a Juan Diaz DP. Can you post a pic?
Is it the metal version just prior to the current plastic DP?

It appears to be the classic one that came out in third ed.

Ah, thanks. That's the one I was thinking of. Didn't know that one was also sculpted by Juan Diaz.

I converted my own out of the plastic kit as an homage to that classic one:

Those things are darn near impossible to find unpainted. I spent a few months trying to get one on eBay. When they're on there, they sell for $50+ regularly. I managed to get one that was missing the sword for much cheaper. (I wasn't gonna use the sword anyway)

Yeah the sword just kinda looks like a Librarian Power Sword.

Great job on the Daemon Prince.
The new one just look less intimidating, the face looks kinda goofy. I also like the warp bolter on its left arm.

Mine got chopped up; the head and hands were replaced with KoS stuff for a Slaanesh DP, and the sword went onto my homemade Be’Lakor. Who knows where the jump pack parts are. I didn’t even realize this thing was still popular. I’ll have to keep my eye out for them.

Why is it being painted a problem? It's made of metal- stick it in stripper and it's good as new.

I never noticed that. It's certainly a great sculpt. I hope you're able to find one.

Yeah, if you don't mind stripping it I have a painted one I could sell. PM me if you are interested, chimeara.

I have an old metal one of that. Unfortunately it was missing the head and sword arm so I had to replace them with ones from the plastic kit (plus some green stuff to actually make them fit together). I had no idea that was a Juan Diaz sculpt. I guess that's why it's so cool-looking!

Just find one in metal with a terrible paintjob for cheap and dump it in Acetone.
This is what I have done with my old school Chaos Raptors and it works great.



Don't try it with the finecast version though.

The OP wanted unpainted, that why I mentioned it.

Pm the OP, I've already got one. Thanks for the offer anyway.

Didn't know that one was desirable. I picked mine up in the used section at my local game store along with 20 metal chaos termies for pretty cheap.

They were ugly painted, stripped and redid.
