Substitute Pink Horrors



I am slowly putting together a daemon army for 40K, which I fit in around working on my IG, Blood Pact, Ork, Chaos marines, and Vrak armies.

I am of course, as mad as a mad thing.


Anyway, I don't like metal models because of their weight, cost, storage problems, and my superglue allergy and I don't much like the Pink Horror models in particular. One of the other bloggers suggested looking at substitute models, notably Dryads.


So I did.

The Wabbit Daemon likes them as well.

PS I have it on reliable authority that they are purple - pink, purple, what's the difference. It all looks the same to me.

    They are indeed purple-pink and they look great. Those dryads work perfectly for horrors, well done. Is this a fantasy army or a 40k army? Will we be seeing these beauties materialize in the trenches on Vraks?

    I did the exact same thing! So funny but I made my Dryads into Bloodletters/Deamonettes. Just painted them all nurgle added some green stuff and bam! For my horrors though I bought Vampire Counts ghouls and attached smoke launchers to their backs.

    Dear trucker
    Yah, why should daemons all look the same. It makes no sense.

    Dear Rabid

    I mostly play 40k but I put them on square bases so I have the option.

    Oh yes, they will turn up in the trenches - ah ha ha ha haaaaa.....

    Dear Cyborg
    They are pretty much straight out of the box. I shaved off leafy stuff and avoided owls, bats, skeletones etc (as an aside, you get lots of useful extras in the box). I bought a few resin stands and made the rest using Milliput. I painted them with gloss varnish to make them look 'liquid' and also the larva but left the solidified rock matt. I actually have 20 of the things. I have learnt with daemons that you have to mass them for best effects.

    Warhammer Fantasy has lots of useful stuff in plastic.

    Can you tell me how you painted them? I am looking for a quick table top standard. So far, I have seen decent results from a simple white primer then applying the new citadel red wash.

    Your colour looks deeper than that though. Any help is great!
