Daemon Princes were once mortal champions of Chaos, elevated to eternal daemonhood as a coveted reward from their mercurial patrons. Each of these corrupt monstrosities is a walking testament to the infernal power of Chaos, an immortal warlord blessed with manifold malevolent gifts throughout their long and treacherous Path to Glory. A Daemon Prince soars or strides across the battlefield like an omen of doom, unleashing all the warp-forged weaponry, monstrous strength, and unholy sorcery at their disposal.
This multipart plastic kit builds a Daemon Prince – an ascended champion of Chaos, usable in games of Warhammer Age of Sigmar or Warhammer 40,000. This mighty model can be built in a huge variety of ways, to suit your chosen setting, Chaos God, and preferred style. The kit includes a choice of clawed or hooved legs, perched atop either a cracked rock or a pile of stones and skulls.The Daemon Prince's muscular torso can be equipped in two suits of armour – an ornate breastplate suited to the Mortal Realms, or a warped parody of power armour for the 41st Millennium – each with a similar set of pauldrons and vambrace-clad forearms.
The Daemon Prince can be armed with a hellforged sword, a daemonic axe, or a pair of malefic talons, with a choice of arm poses. From its back sprouts a pair of wings, a grisly trophy rack, or a corrupted Heretic Astartes power pack. The kit also includes six different heads – one designed for each of the Chaos Gods, and two for Chaos Undivided – with a suite of trophies, Chaotic sigils, and tail tips to truly dedicate your creation to the Ruinous Powers.
This kit comprises 112 plastic components, and is supplied with a Citadel 60mm Round base. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.
Games Workshop have two broad methods for painting their models. Both are entirely viable options, though have significant differences in the paints required (detailed below). You can find all of the required paints in the 'recommended paint' section below, whether you simply want to get it out onto the tabletop ASAP (i.e. 'Battle Ready'), or want to take your time and make it a masterpiece (i.e. 'Parade Ready'):
1. Classic Method - uses acrylic paints to build layers of colour and depth. Usually topped off with a shade paint to really make the shadows pop. Probably the most beginner friendly method as mistakes are often easy to fix.
2. Contast Method - uses ink-like contrast painsts which sink into recesses, providing depth in highlights and shadows with a single layer of paint. It can take some practise to get this method to look great, but it's highly satisfying when it does work. Less forgiving when mistakes happen, though arguably the quicker method of the two options.
