Tzeetch Demon Princes
Posted: Fri Mar 29, 2019 12:33 am
The only passable, aligned demon princes I don't own are Tzeentch... Old Greaters fulfill this role usually... but the old Tzeentch Greaters are (shall we say) a little small.
Creature Caster models are too similar in stature to Greater Demons for me (I like all but not for this)... Kromelch does have an acceptable model but still a bit too tall... I have researched several conversions and most are either not the look I want or insanely expensive (like the TK ones and that is also too big overall)... I do not feel that painting a normal demon (modern) demon prince Tzeentch colors is even mildly OK for me...
I need 2-3... and I have decided on the Ogoroid Thaumaturge for the Body... It is the right size... It is very Tzeentch-y...
Then comes the first hard part... the wings... Feathered wings are not easy to come by in the right scale... and god help you if you have to acquire 3x Greater Wings (pricey and honestly not that easy - especially metal - and not an optimal size)... Any suggestion?
I am considering the mirco art feathered wings... those are cheap but I think they are oop... and I can only come up with one pair from anywhere I know... and I am not thinking they will be really cool... The cockatrice (and cockatrice parts) in general might be good... but not a common model (ie direct only and it was never popular or widespread - no bits I know for sale on those anyway)... I don't see anything in Reapers line that is big enough. I think SpellCrow or Scribor may have something and that might be where I end up going.
Then the second hard part... the head... I can leave it ogoroid but I would prefer bird heads (diversity)... I haven't got past the whole wing stage and greater heads may be the way to go here or Kairos specifically (two heads are better than one)... but would love to know others thoughts on other options.
I have two of the Thaumaturges (nothing else will be purchased until I know what I am doing in total) but I don't have to use them if somebody knows a great way to do this that I like...
I am open to all suggestions...
I just can't believe there isn't a passable model for this... I did consider older metal Demon Princes but they will still need feathered wings and there are Khorne looking ones and Slaanesh looking ones (and real Nurgle ones) but not a damn one for Tzeentch (that isn't really in the same size category of a Greater)...
Help...
Thanks,
Sean
