I say it's a conversion. A combination of the new plastic model and the current metal DP.

actually the plastic one has comfortably resided on the GW website for a couple months now. To see him you just need to use a computer that has no memory of ever visiting the site.

I think it's an in-house mod of Frutiger condensed...

He doesn't look a thing like the current daemon prince mini. No armor, no backpack, and he's not hunched over. Not even close.

I thought he looked more like this old mini: http://www.games-workshop.c...

To me it looks like the current daemon prince, heavily converted with carnifex legs and tail

Yes. Awesome, that is definitely a 40K version of the DP his hands are awesome looking. Perfect close combat weapons. He is going to rip shit apart. Damn, I love chaos.This makes me giddy.

GW always seems to have fun hiding new products in plain sight, look in the 5th ed rule book, you can see the Imperial Bastion under the terrain section.
so it wouldn't be far off to think this is the new 40k plastic Prince.

Looking carefully it's easy to see there the same modle with diffrent options.

What I want to know is, what will be the price? If the kit is that large with THAT MANY BITS then it will probably be abit pricey.

O_____O

And it's a well known fact that it's illegal to have more than two different head types. Different horns doesn't indicate anything.

'The older grey painted pics are way too fantasy looking...' it's mounted on a square base and is pictured in the Warriors of Chaos army book. The grey one is designed for fantasy.

Form looking at the photos I would say that it's a 40k plastic version of the fantasy plastic DP. The sculpts are so similar that they look like they've been done by the same the person, especially when it comes to how the legs are designed, they've both got the unusual articulation of the legs and also in the design of the tail which is nearly identical. Also it's similar to the current 40k DP but not the same, i.e. the hands and backpack look like they've been designed to be like the current one but they've got different proportions.
I'm putting my money on it being a plastic DP for 40k.

The horns are definitely different on the planetstrike one than the 2 heads of the plastic one...

The kit is supposed to serve for both WHFB and WH40k I imagine, so no wonder it could be assembled to look like it has nothing to do with a Chaos Marine.

The older grey painted pics are way too fantasy looking... the DP in the planetstrike book is obviously ascended from a chaos marine, with the armor, shoulder pads, and backpack. I like it, but I also like the older metal DP too. The older metal DP just looked like it was slow, shambling and ponderous (good for nurgle)... the newer plastic DP looks a lot more agile and active (better base for a khorne or slaanesh DP).

The legs shown in the planetstrike book are the same as the grey painted DP, but they might have minor resculpting. Sometimes they make a casting of one piece, and then add extra details before using it as the basis for a new casting. If you look at multiple versions of different figures, you'll see that they do this is a lot.

There were already a few new SW releases a while back. Who's to say they won't just repackage the SW like they did the Cadians and Catachans?

The left hand on that DP looks very close to one of the Possessed left hands, just scaled up. Hmm. I'm hoping that's not a conversion but rather one of the options that can be made with parts in the plastic DP box itself.
