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!
So, I am working on my Drukhari force on and off these days, and I thought I would take a pic of the first squad completed. They aren’t particularly spectacular but they are finished!
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.
More progress. Can’t decide if I want to fill the tattoo areas with the green glow or not.
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.
Nearly at the undercoating stage with this guy. Have some areas to tidy up, but he is coming along nicely!
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!
Another Tzaangor completed. That’s now 6/80 gors done! Slowly adding to the pile!
As an aside I tried to take a little more time on this chap. Not a crazy amount of time, but I paid some attention to his gems and the potion on his belt. It’s still a gaming piece so nothing mental.
