Daemonprince to Vermin Lord

[miteyheroes]

I don't really play WFB, but ever since I first saw the WFB Ogre standard top I knew I wanted to somehow use it as the head of a verminlord. Finally GW released the plastic Chaos Daemonprince, and the time was right! Sadly a couple of other mighty fine converters had the idea of using the Daemonprince first ([URL="http://www.dimsgalleries.com/Blog/BB29C746-6F59-4362-9639-05C98A2760B7.html"]one using the classic metal head[/URL] and [URL="http://www.warseer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=277098"]one with a rat ogre's head[/URL]), so my model isn't quite as original as it could have been. Ah well!

My model should be fairly self-explanatory. One DP, one Ogre standard, one Rat Ogre tail, and vast amounts of greenstuff shoved on top of anywhere that had chaos-y symbols. Most of the greenstuff was just turned into fur, which is easy, but changing the daemon-face on the belt buckle into a horned rat was a bit more complex.

As I say, I don't collect WFB. So I've given the model as a birthday present to one of my good friends who does collect Skaven. Hopefully he'll give it a fitting paintjob and it can find a home in his army...

I've been planning the same conversion so it's good to see what someone else has done with it before I actually got to this project. Seriously, I even planned on using the same bit from the Ogre Kingdoms set. Thanks for sharing. Post pics when it's painted!

Will try to get painted pics when my mate's done. It's a simple conversion and fun, I heartily recommend it!

simple but very effective, the fur looks well sculpted and the weapon is well made. good job.

Very nice work here it looks great! I do like the regular Vermin Lord but this is a great alternative and more original.
