    12 comments saying the same thing. Its like the last 11 people didn't bother reading what the first guy said and the latter the person the more incompetent they sound.

    Its a conversion by Wade Price and is his interpretation of Angron. You can find another picture of it in White Dwarf 351.
  • somewhat_damaged · 4 months ago
    exactly what i was going to say but you beat me to it...
    its a conversion of angron; its not a new model.
    nothing to see here
  • Eltnot · 4 months ago
    I very thankful of that. It looks pretty crap to me. That sword just looks stupid.
  • ftyk · 4 months ago
    i went to all the effort to say that and get the WD just to see this
  • Anon · 4 months ago
    That's a conversion of Angron made from the current metal Daemon Prince. It was in one of the recent White Dwarves.
  • Colonel Marbi Chora · 4 months ago
    All above correct. It's just a conversion.
  • theluc · 4 months ago
    thats funny i have the parts to build my own but i really don't like the final look of the mini
  • D · 4 months ago
    Do believe that is in a recent WD under the Army Masterclass
  • Psynikal · 4 months ago
    Personally I'm kinda partial to Angron's axe Gorefather, specifically this one:

    I think the sword is from World of Warcraft, damn...
  • Bennee · 4 months ago
    The 'Sword of Implausibly Hugeness' I believe... ;)
  • Sergeant_Uriel_Ventris · 4 months ago
    Thank God that's a conversion, it looks like crap. Well, not for a conversion, but for a "new" model it would be considered terrible.

    Oh hi Cloud, watcha doing here?
  • GearBoxClock · 4 months ago
    Jesus, thats a big sword.



    Wait, that sounds wrong in so many ways

    I think those Cadians are screwed.
  • sodcactus · 4 months ago
    Especially when he has such a big sword :-D
  • plaugefather · 4 months ago
    possible conversion because it looks like the hand from the metal one and defiantly looks like the Bloodthirsters wings
  • DuskRaider · 4 months ago
    40K Daemon Prince body with Bloodthirster horns and wings. Sword looks like current rendition Bloodletter, only super sized and quite cartoony.
  • strikerfox · 4 months ago
    that be a conversion
  • FoxPhoenix135 · 4 months ago
    IMAA GON GIT MY BEATSTIK!
  • Kildash · 4 months ago
    that's not a new daemon prince. It is a conversion made on the old model which was meant to represent Daemon Primarch Angron in White Dwarf quite a while ago. HOWEVER, there IS a new DP coming up, which can be seen in the planetstrike book on various pictures (for example the one with the huge chaos bunker with the massive cannon).
  • Herald of Nurgle · 4 months ago
    Riiiight...
  • Anggul · 4 months ago
    Metal demon prince, bloodthirster wings, bloodletter head, Dreadnought base (I think), and I believe the sword is probably scratch-built.
  • Old_Paladin · 4 months ago
    Yup, you're right about the base, you can even see the spent shell cases.
  • Michael · 4 months ago
    That is definitely not the new daemon prince.

    I've seen the new daemon prince sprues and its not anything like this.

    The daemon prince you have before you is nothing more than a conversion.
    recipe:
    current 40k daemon prince legs, forearm & fist
    the upper body, head, wings and upper left arm is all from the bloodthirster model.
    Cheers

    It´s a new model!!

    I´m getting 3 Angroneses!! :P
  • Silber · 4 months ago
    I like the sword. The rest of the mini is meh, methinks, while the paintjob.... repells me. Those red spines with black skinflaps on the wings are sooo 90's....
  • Vic · 4 months ago
    Isin't the sword just the bloodletter sword just a three up version?
  • Fire_Warrior · 4 months ago
    Yeah, just to clarify, this IS a conversion.
  • Brenden Coleman · 4 months ago
    It's a conversion of the current one. The head without the horns on it is just like the current metal one, and the left arm is the same also. I also know this model is supposed to be the primarch Angron. I personally think the sword is too insanely huge and thought he would have the huge glaive/axe that he is usually depicted having. But maybe the sword counts as a kind of berserker glaive or special daemon-sword.
  • Herald of Nurgle · 4 months ago
    See: The Black Blade or something from the Angron, Daemon Primarch of the World Eaters datasheet in the Liber Apocalyptica article, online
  • Sidstyler · 4 months ago
    Well I hope you put your money on "conversion", since it couldn't be any more obvious. If you want to see the plastic model look in the Planetstrike book (which is odd since I've seen that pic from Planetstrike posted here a week or two ago, so there really shouldn't have been any confusion).
  • Twisted_Constructor · 4 months ago
    Without reading your post I've got the impression that was Angron conversion (gold armor), a merge of metal Demon Prince and a Bloodthirster with a scratchbuild runic sword (too big) based on a Bloodletter sword design.
    Not my vision of Angron in demonic form but not so bad.

    Reading your posts i've got the confirm of my thoughts ^^
  • UltramarineFan · 4 months ago
    As others have said it's just a conversion by Wade Price nothing more.

    yeup, conversion.
    wings, right arm and torso are bloodthirster parts, legs and left arm are the metal daemon prince, no idea bout the head, and the sword appears to be a massive hellblade from the plastic bloodletter kit. maybe the guy got his hands on one of those resin 3-ups they do?
  • Thomas · 4 months ago
    Wade converted his interpretation of Angron. It's based on the current metal DP. The sword is a 3 up resin bit from the larger 3 up models that GW uses to create the molds for the regular sized bloodletters.

    Wade is an accomplished modeller and also works for GW.

    And may I also say how refreshing that so many of those posters with negative comments have posted their own work to show the rest of us what a "truely great conversion" of Angron or anything else looks like.

    I can appreciate that some may not like the model but at least offer some constructive criticism. Posts of "Fugly" are just a waste of bandwith.

    "And may I also say how refreshing that so many of those posters with negative comments have posted their own work to show the rest of us what a "truely great conversion" of Angron or anything else looks like."

    So someone can't call out a poorly converted model unless they show they can do better? Yeeeeah...that comment is even dumber than the other people calling it down.

    I'm not gonna scratch build a $100+ model just to prove his looks like ass...and he works for GW to boot, so has access to much, much cheaper models and in this case, otherwise unavailable pieces. I know what you're getting at Thomas, but not the best way to put it...
  • Phil · 4 months ago
    its a studio conversion using the metal demon prince, bloodthirster, and a 3 uped bloodletter hellblade
  • SinSynn · 4 months ago
    the demon prince is a little wacky looking. I think it's because his left arm looks so much longer than the right, and the difference in the hands is distracting. The hand with the sword is sorta normal sized, but then his left has the long fingered mutie style hand, and the arm looks long enough to drag those fingers on the ground.
    Next time I bump into a demon prince on the street I'll have to ask him what he thinks....
  • oni · 4 months ago
    It's a conversion.
  • darren oliver · 4 months ago
    That Daemon Prince is a conversion that was in WD from the doubles tournament in the UK.
  • ChankLank · 4 months ago
    That daemon prince conversion was a part of a World Eaters army showcase that was featured in White Dwarf pretty recently. It is a pretty standard conversion of the current CSM Daemon Prince model, but with Bloodthirster wings... It is on the Dreadnaut scenic base, but I'm not sure where the head comes from. The sword is a Hell Sword (usually held by bloodletters), but was made from scratch out of plasticard and GS by the army owner. This is just a cool conversion from a studio staff member's Word Bearers army.
