My Daemon Prince was my first model I undertook since I was a kid 30 or so years ago. As I mentioned in the prior post I was influenced by Cliffhaenger, who was inspired by Red Beard Baron with their appraoches to creating such a monster. I have the habit of jumping in fully when I commit and sometimes this can a recipe for over extending myself, but I figured why not a full conversion with a monster character? I had a hunger for more cow-bell if you will and this Daemon prince was my cowbell. For the colors I loved the lore and style of the Pallid hands, but really wanted to incorporate my Plague company to be descendants of the Dusk Raiders as well since I wanted the ancient veteran knowledge and siege warfare specialism. Here is how my paint theme was developed:
