Does anyone know of good proxies for LatD daemon princes? I'd go for the warmaster daemons, but they're not really available and I don't think I can stomach paying a big premium on ebay...

sorry, didn't read the princes part! disregard most of that. I used the old mini size bloodthirster for my khorne prince:

Reaper probably have something that would do, but they are only £5 or so on uk ebay (for the old epic ones) which isn't a bad price to start with.

I've been tempted to try something using WFB beastmen and 40k gargoyle wings before now as well for GDs.

I've found the older metal nurgling models to be ideal for nurgle daemon princes

The older Greater Daemon models are relatively small and should be able to pass for a Daemon Prince etc.

Sorry, I disagree... they are same size as a warlord titan... much to big to be a daemon prince IMHO.

this looks epic - which miniature is this? Or did you build it yourself?

Yes, I too use the old 40K Familiars for Epic Greater Deamons ... you can sometimes get them on eBay ... Image The big guys in the back are two of them ... And another in the back - Image

15mm daemon models of various sorts might work well. Kallistra and pendraken's ranges of 10mm stuff might have something. Otherworld miniatures might have something a bit to big as well as Reaper and GW 28mm.

I think you misunderstood me here - I mean the Epic ones from the previous editions....

Please tell me you're going to use the Alien Life Form mini as a Daemon Prince...
