Tyranid bitz vs. A Slaanesh daemon Prince

[Mike the Pike]

I was thinking of blatantly ripping off this guy's idea for a Slaaanesh daemon prince. I was also thinking of getting some Tyranid gargoyles for their wings, to make Harpies/Furies that don't blow goats.

The big question is, does anyone want the upper half of a Trygon (lots of bitz there)and some wingless gargoyles (aren't they just flying termagants?)? If you wanted only a few bitz, I would gladly swap them for some of yours. If you wanted the lot then I would hand them over for the a Kebab and a coke.





P.S. Yes, I have already checked out bitzbarn.com etc

Hey,
I'd take the Trygon parts.
Gargoyles without the wings dont appeal, sorry.

I am sure I could do some fun stuff with all that lot of stuff I tried to PM you but I am not sure it worked... let me know if you go ahead with your plan... I have ideas for both the Trigon bitz and da Gargole Bitz and I have a model I think you may want if you do not want it that cool but was planing on giving it too you regardless...

Here is my take on it:



Whaddya think?

Awesome.
He isnt going to be hiding in terrain anytime soon though.
Still, awesome.

all very nice, but the face screams "KHOOOOOORRRRRNNNEEEE"

apart from that, great. (not being sarcastic, btw. I really do think its nice, but the head is a big no-no, i reckon)

[Mike the Pike]

I see what you mean. However there is a scarcity of beguiling, androgynous heads in a suitable scale.

I was thinking of either, using the Slaanesh Fiend head:



or maybe this:



..however both of them are quite bestial.

I could also do the mask thing like the original or even one of the new Minotaur heads (Bulls being very much a Slaanesh thing).
Hmm?
What say you savages?

Here are 3 more choices:

could you sculpt an oversized Dark Eldar Wych/Reaver helmet? It would raise questions about his origins, but im quite liking the blank-faced emotionless killer look.

you could maybe use head A, cut off the horns, and sand down the features as much as is practical, then use miliput or other sandable putty and smooth out the face completely. Using the pre-existing head ensures scale would be ok, as well as removing the need to sculpt the back of the head and whatnot. Youd have trouble getting a smooth face by sculpting, but sanding should do the jobby.

youd also need to sculpt the edge of the mask, as you want it to look like a mask, as opposed to just a blank face.
