Ah but that Codex Chaos from the 2nd edition of a W40k was a pale, timid shadow of Chaos’s former true glory in the Realm of Chaos books. If anyone wants to really understand Chaos those are what you should read (naughty copies can be found online if I’m allowed to say that) and in them Daemon Princes are subordinate to, and less powerful than, the Greater Demons. I guess possibly when writing the 2nd ed codex they were influenced by the Demon Primarches from epic in changing the demon princes to be more powerful, but it wasn’t how they were originally, or have been since, it was just a temporary blip. Enough justification for you to go with your idea of having them that way, but really that was the new fangled idea.

I have been persuaded not to use the model as an infantry demon prince (if I get it at all – I’d probably have to pay silly money on ebay). If I ever do use it in the army it will count as something appropriately bigger.

So what was this controversial masterpiece that has engendered so much debate?

It's a model I really liked and am toying with trying to get hold of, rather than one I have. Looks very Tzeentchian, mutated and yet arcanely magical. Might as well link to a well painted version, see here: http://www.coolminiornot.com/157663

I had/have plans to use the disk separately, possibly as the basis for a War Altar conversion (I'll probably loose the spikes too).

Looks like a greater daemon of Tzeentch?

Yep, that'd make a sweet greater daemon, but it's way too big to be infantry!

Ahh, I understand your desire.
I, too, yearn for a reason to possess that model, other than possession itself.
I also yearn for a chance to acquire one, but that's a whole 'nother story  

I was down at Eureka Miniatures today and got a hold of their new 10mm Aztec range and thought the size was perfect for a Primarch. What do you think?

Yes, would work.

Love your primarchs L4!

I am really unsure as to why this matters so much?
I use the Warmaster Nurgle character as my Daemon prince, on an infantry sized base... *shrug*
Do whatever looks nice in your army and whatever makes you happy - as long as it is clear what it is to any opponents, whats the problem?

Thanks TRC ... LikeI said, k101 made them for me ...  I just painted them.   Frog - those 10mm Aztecs do look interesting ...

I meant in size, rather than aesthetics.

how large are chaos deamon characters (these from chaos power character packs)from Warmaster ?

anyone hav pic of them?

MoK has a painted example of the Khorne DP's in his LatD thread. Below are the Nurgle ones. I am betting the Tzeentch and Slaanesh ones are comparable.

Yes, those Tall Ones from the SM2 era are the size of a 40K fig ...  The Warmaster models especially for Demonic Entities, are pretty good for Epic ...    But they are clearly slightly bigger then the standard Epic 6-8mm figure ...  But they are deamons for crying out load !
