Greater Daemons- Ik this isn't lizardmen related but still, what's your favorite daemon and why? what do you rank each one out of ten? sorry for the picture being littler than the rest but it hasn't actually been released yet so couldn't get an amazing pic- Greater daemon of Slaanesh: Greater Daemon of Tzeentch: Greater Deamon of Nurgle: Greater daemon of Khorne: vermin lord:
As I’ve mentioned in the news thread, the Lord of Change is the best model of the 4 main Chaos Gods’ models, but I by far prefer the Verminlord as a model, not just a Greater Daemon model, especially the Warbringer version, so he takes my vote. If I had a second vote the Lord of Change would get it.
..the dead one? OK, I'd go for Lord of Change mmm... probably i will move the thread in a more appropriate place.
Lord of Change (GW) Keeper of Secrets (FW) Bloodthirster (FW) Keeper of Secrets (GW) Bloodthirster (GW) Great Unclean One (GW & FW) Lord of Change (FW)
I prefer FW models for greater deamons. Yeah, even the Lord of Change, I've seen it live a couple of times and it is really impressive and, well, tzeentchian. FW greater daemons convey some sort of twisted discomfort, while plastic models look much more cartoonish and 'regular', despite being great sculpts.
The FW Lord of Change just doesn't do it for me. The neck/head position looks weird, but mostly it is the wings that I despise. The wings look goofy and don't seem to fit with the rest of the model.
I know, that is what most hobbyists think. For me, it looks so aberrant and twisted it fits its role, and it is actually my favourite along with FW Great Unclean One (which I suppose it is another unpopular choice). I really did not pay much attention to that wierd bird before seeing it live. I also think that FW models for these guys look very non-wharammerish, while plastic counterparts fit the tabletop much better (again, very detailed, cartoonish etc).
Lord of Change because.. Beatiful, impressive and very detailed model with an aesthetic which really represents the nature of Tzeentch's everchanging will. Also biased because I like blue painting schemes aand, this model wiped my forces off a table so much, that I'm still surprised that I keep liking it. Dang. And then there was this one time, when the Lord of Change walked into a bar and tried to order a cocktail - but he kept changing his mind..
Well, I must admit that I have never seen one in person, only through pictures. Still, I think the GW one is much better, IMHO.
I’d be inclined to agree with @Lord Agragax of Lunaxoatl. Particularly out of the four main Chaos gods, the Lord of Change is my favourite, both as a concept and as an actual model. However, if there was one I’d actually want to buy, it would be some form of the Verminlord - I think it’s slightly better looking and if I was to start a Chaos army, it would probably be Skaven.
I totally agree, even though the model is more detailed but a tiny bit more cartoonish I think it represents change and tzeentch, if I were to change anything I would remove the little golden lightning bits on the wings and change the pose that the photo was taken at. Personally I also see some of the wings having green at the end.
Actually, i would rank the Great Unclean One in my personal 2nd place. It's just perfect for what it wants to represent
FW is more disturbing, so I suppose it fits very well, but all in all i tend to give my favor to the classic GW
