![]() ![]() Each of his heads has multiple pieces as well, and there’s something like 3 different tongues in the kit. His head especially was a challenge, taking something like 6-7 often extremely small pieces just to assemble. Each limb is 2-3 parts before the hands and feet (often another 2-3 parts) and even the most seemingly simple part of the model can take a while just to clip, clean, and glue together. It’s kind of like building an eggshell, fragile and hollow. His torso is a smattering of seemingly unrelated fleshy shapes that all fit around a hollow void and if you don’t wait the proper amount of time for glue to dry, the whole body can collapse in on itself as nearly happened with mine. I don’t just mean the details (although they are mighty fine and beautiful besides) but in just how fiddly and tight the construction can be. I didn’t have much in the way of analysis paralysis – I knew I wanted him to be Undivided, and I liked the helmeted option better than the bare headed option – but this model is just so damn intricate. It took me just under two hours of pure hobby concentration to build this model. What also surprised me was how small the model seemed – the preview pictures had me thinking he would be roughly Greater Daemon or Be’Lakor-sized, but he fits on a 60mm base with plenty of room to spare. The instructions in the Slaves to Darkness box don’t detail how to build the Chaos Space Marines variant, as is to be expected. Well, I don’t mean to bury the lede, but I think the sculptors at GW finally cracked the code and made a Daemon Prince that doesn’t just look better than any previous iteration, but is an incredible model in its own right.Īcross these three sprues there are over 120 pieces, and you’re going to be using most of them no matter what version of this big lad you build. In this reviewer’s opinion, there hasn’t been a good generic Daemon Prince model aside from the Juan Diaz Chaos Space Marines Daemon Prince from 3rd edition (Rob: The Death Guard metal Daemon prince was also decent). I will be breaking down each kit therein over the course of a few review articles, and I thought it best to start with what is likely the most hyped model in the whole set: the new Daemon Prince.ĭespite playing Chaos Space Marines since 2009 and Slaves to Darkness since 2019, I’ve never owned a Daemon Prince. We’d like to thank Games Workshop for providing us with a preview copy of the Slaves to Darkness box for review purposes.Īs one of the resident Slaves to Darkness players amongst the Goons whomst Hammer, it should come as no surprise that I was hooting and/or hollering at the prospect of getting my hands on this new army box. ![]()
