WH40K - Daemonhost 1 of 3

Description

The first of my converted Daemonhosts for my Warhammer 40,000 Daemonhunters army. Besides a Rhino transport, every model in the army will be a conversion from a different system - everything from Reaper Dark Heaven fantasy figurines to Mongoose's Starship Troopers line!

The purity seal wrapping around her body, as well as the Inquisition symbol weight on her base are all custom-made from Kneadatite Brown Stuff. It's like Green Stuff, but it dries plastic-hard instead of rubber-hard so you can grind/sand it more accurately. I still have yet to get ahold of proper modeling chain - when I do, there'll be chains wrapping around her body and around her wings, all connected to the large weight so it looks like it's holding her down.

The original figure is a Reaper Dark Heaven figure #2760: Jalinrix, Female Demon.

From http://us.games-workshop.com/games/40k/daemonhunters/catalog/daemonhost.htm:

"Through the long, secret history of the Inquisition there have been many who have advocated the study and harnessing of Warp entities in order to defeat the dark Gods. To some, such men are luminaries; to others they are radicals, individuals dangerously close to crossing the line and becoming one with the enemy. Such radical Inquisitors may even employ the services of bound Daemonhosts to further their ends - testimony to their success in taming the forces of Chaos according to them, but proof positive of their corruption to others."

In other words, Daemonhosts are a human body that the Inquisitor has lured a Daemon into, only to trap it with blessed seals and chains and such so that he/she can utilize its power against other Chaos entities. Score.

That's very nice. Quite different from my own Daemonhost conversion and any other Daemonhost conversion I've ever seen. Most people opt. for a grisly teeth gnashing claw thrashing devil from hell rather than a elegant winged angel. An origional and well executed idea, and I can imagine the chains will be very suitable and make for a rather stunning model.
Good work.
