The bird-man in particular seems like a perfect fit. I'm curious about the model's height though... Does anyone out there own any Ushabti? If so, could you tell me about how tall they are? I'm wondering specifically how they compare to a Daemon Prince model in size. If anyone could provide an actual height measurement, I would be forever in your debt.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/398356/3344751.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/398356/3344751.page GMT Re:Ushabti - Height?

I'll be picking up a box of Ushabti on the way home from work. I'll post measurements and a comparison pic soon to hopefully assist the inquiring minds of tomorrow.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/398356/3345580.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/398356/3345580.page GMT Re:Ushabti - Height?

The new Failcast ones are somewhat bigger than their predecessors, see here: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/90/365225.page (scroll down) ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/398356/3346437.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/398356/3346437.page GMT Re:Ushabti - Height?
Ushabti on std. base / Nurgle Daemon Prince

Looking a little short.

Ushabti on painstakingly modified alternate base / Nurgle Daemon Prince

Now slightly taller! Not bad.

Group shot (sorry it's a little blurry, took this off my phone):


So obviously Ushabti aren't nearly as bulky as the Princes, but I think they still look appropriately sized. On the 60mm+40mm base, they're ever-so-slightly taller than the Nurgle DP and the plastic (Khorne) DP.

I think I'll be converting all three of mine to Tzeentch Princes. The jackal might not be 100% appropriate but...eh. I just love his face. Now I think I'd like to find an appropriately sized staff-extension for each of them. Hopefully something I can stick a Tzeentch icon on. The blades are neat, but I'd like something to play up their magic powers more than their cleaving-guys-in-half powers.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/398356/3346931.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/398356/3346931.page GMT Re:Ushabti - Height?


Best looking bird demon would be the Ultraforge Vrock (80$), but it is hard to find in stores:

And Fateweaver's also a distinctive special character, not to mention frequently in my list already, so...eh.

The Vrock looks nice, but I think that's kind of over-doing it. Daemon Princes were formerly human, so it seems off to me to have them upstaging a Lord of Change in birdiness.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/398356/3346997.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/398356/3346997.page GMT Re:Ushabti - Height? HQs ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/398356/3348577.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/398356/3348577.page GMT Ushabti - Height? HQ and is perfectly legal! But yeah, I play Chaos Daemons, so Daemon Princes are always fielded as Heavy Support. I usually take 2-3 Princes every game (plus 1-2 Greater Daemons as HQ). I don't know how often I'll want to take 3 Tzeentch Princes, but it's nice to have the option. (This would also explain why my Princes won't need wings. For Daemons, Wings cost 60 pts (!) which isn't really worth it on a shooty Tzeentch DP.)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/398356/3348818.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/398356/3348818.page GMT Re:Ushabti - Height? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/398356/3349405.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/398356/3349405.page GMT Ushabti - Height?

They'd probably look really nice with the skeletal Chaos Spawn wings. I'd definitely do that if mine weren't non-flying and my MoN-DP didn't already have those same wings. They could definitely use a little more bulk though...I'm hoping modifying the blades as lengthy, magical-looking staffs take care of some of that.

Maybe to add some size on the back side of the model, I could add more strands of cloth hanging down (like the cloth already hanging from the right side of the Ushabti model)?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/398356/3349585.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/398356/3349585.page GMT
