<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Daemon Prince conversion sizes"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/8.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Daemon Prince conversion sizes
I've been thinking about doing a sortof scratchbuild figure for my Slaanesh Daemon Prince, because I've never really liked any of the models available, since I wanted something more elegant and stately, rather than ferocious. I've considered doing a Deceiver conversion, or even Daemon-ing up a St. Celestine, but I'm also looking at other statuettes and figurines that could be converted.

So, my question is twofold. First of all, how tall do you think a Monstrous Creature like a DP can be without being unfair or inappropriately sized? I'm having trouble finding appropriate models less than six inches tall, which seems a little big to me. Secondly, if you have any suggestions for other things to make elegant Daemons out of, please don't hesitate to mention them.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/247640/829760.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/247640/829760.page GMT Daemon Prince conversion sizes St Celestine is too small!!

One model that would be really good for a Slaanesh conversion is the Severina and Sevora Devout from the Inquisitor range. They're the right size and are very graceful and have slender weapons and tight body suits.

Reaper offers a bunch of succubi, but most of them are a bit small. These figures are a bit bigger but also less elegant:
2633 (6-armed medusa, like the old Slaanesh character Dechala the Denied One)
14088 (demonic sorceress with leather straps)

There's also Hasslefree's Imogen

This is a pretty elegant Rackham figure, but it's not female.
This is a set of 2 elegant figures, but they aren't very big either.
Rackham Succubus

Most of the smaller figures can be bulked up by adding wings and putting them on big sculpted bases.

For any reason other than an aesthetic choice, I don't see why there must be a correlation between physical size and power when it comes to daemons. Chaos is supposed to be, ya know, chaotic, so there should definitely be room for human-sized daemons that are inordinately powerful. As long as they are mounted on the correct base for what you want to represent I'd say pretty much anything goes.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/247640/831033.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/247640/831033.page GMT Daemon Prince conversion sizes

In 5th ed TLOS concerns mean that you could be accused of modelling for advantage if your DP is not at least approximately the same size as the GW ones, although if it's bigger, of course no-one will complain

I always try to keep my scratch-builds at least the same size as the models they are intended to be replacing.

I plan on using a set of balrog wings which are huge on the standard DP model. Wings don't count in LOS but they make the model huge.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/247640/831246.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/247640/831246.page GMT Daemon Prince conversion sizes

Bigger doesn't matter, but smaller does, since you could hide a small CC-oriented DP behind terrain it ordinarily would not be able to. Substituted/converted/scratch-built models should be about the same size (or bigger) than their GW originals, or be prepared to be very generous when allowing your opponent LOS.
