Thousand Sons Daemon Prince

So, this is the second Daemon Prince/Contemptor Dread conversion I completed, but it is technically the third one. As it is the one showing the most corruption. I really enjoyed this project, and I have had to prevent myself from going too overboard with it, as it is a gaming piece. But I am happy with how he has turned out!

CONTEMPTOR DAEMON PRINCE WIP – 4

Very quick WIP pic of the Daemon Prince.

He still needs some work, and I have to green stuff his second wing on to him. But he is slowly shaping up!

Work continues, not that happy with his headdress, but it tough painting a big model that has already been built.

CONTEMPTOR DAEMON PRINCE WIP – 2

More progress. Can’t decide if I want to fill the tattoo areas with the green glow or not.

Contemptor Daemon Prince WIP – 1

Managed to get a little bit of this chap painted. Just working through the colour palette for him at the moment, some of his skin is likely to be fleshy coloured, as I always like there to be a hint in there that this used to be a man.

Daemon Prince conversion part 2

Nearly at the undercoating stage with this guy. Have some areas to tidy up, but he is coming along nicely!

Thousand Sons Daemon Prince Conversion

I have recently been working on my Daemon Prince conversion.

Given how few new miniatures Thousand Sons got (compared to Death Guard), I have been using it as an excuse to explore some more ideas for them. I knew I wanted to use the Psychic Contemptor Dreadnoughts in my army, and I use them as Daemon Princes (the size of the minis, and the in game rules don’t very massively!). I also wanted to show the sliding scale of corruption. So the Osiron dread has been left as is, just a few little bits added, and a nice blue paint job.

I also have a plan to make a middle ground Contemptor Dreadnought, in which some mutation is showing through, but not quite as much as the one I am working on now.

It’s early days yet for it, and I have only done tiny bits of green stuff work and converting, but I am really enjoying it!
