He will play in my Death Guard army at first, but I painted him pretty generically so I could include him in other Chaos Armies in the future. The Black and Gold armor are to contrast with the pale flesh tones. I wanted to practice layering and blending lighter tones with this model. I run a Death Guard Army and Dark Angels Army, so not much opportunity to paint lighter colors! Also in my area...everyone seems to be running Daemon Princes painted black for some reason? It was a fun paint project and I learned that thinning my paints with Lahmian Medium instead of water allowed for more success blending and eliminated a chalky finish as the colors got lighter. CIC welcome!

Images are a bit small, but what I can see looks great! I'm always a bit jealous of the great painters here I suck at everything else than washing. Was the middlefinger intended or is it just the camera angle on the second image?

Great looking Daemon Prince!

He looks like a Black Legionnaire!

Love the head choice, it makes the model look more sinister!

Thank You for sharing! :-)

Just the camera angle, totally missed that when I took the picture!

It's very Johnny Cash.

Beautiful work!

Great work! I like the variation in tones and textures in this piece, like how the wing membranes are very sinewy but the skin on the muscles is very smooth with a gradual buildup of shades and tones.

Thank you everyone, I spent about 10 hours painting this Daemon Prince, and he will be a focal part of my army, I really appreciate the compliments, it’s always good to hear validation for the time and effort we put into the hobby

That looks fantastic. I have painted over 10 to date since the kit came out, between ones for myself and ones for clients. I have NEVER enjoyed it. Kudos for you because you have done it beautifully. I could never figure out the wings or the skin.

Great centerpiece!
