Daemon Princes were once mortal champions of Chaos, their activities so debased, violent or sycophantic that the Chaos Gods had no choice but to take notice. Over time they were rewarded for their endeavours with mutations and gifts, culminating in their eventual rise to Daemonhood. The Chaos Gods are fickle, though, and the path to Daemonhood is an all-or-nothing deal that’s certainly not guaranteed to pay off.

The release of the plastic Daemon Prince kit in 2010 was highly anticipated, Daemon Princes being an iconic part of so many of the different armies formed by the followers of the Chaos Gods, and yet so varied in both origins and manifestation. The challenge for the miniatures designers was to make a Daemon Prince with plenty of modelling options that could be used in the worlds of both Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000.

The end result was a model with multiple characters, each one different depending on the parts used to construct it and the way it was painted. The Daemon Prince to the left, for example, was clearly a Chaos Space Marine before he was elevated to Daemonhood. He still wears parts of his power armour, though they’ve been stretched by the power of the Warp to accommodate his size. Look carefully and you can still see the vent on the top of his head that would once have been the top of his helmet. Yet the same kit just as easily produces a bestial Daemon Prince wielding an ancient axe, or a horned fiend with an eight-pointed Chaos star branded into his chest.

Every part of the model tells a story and part of the fun of building the Daemon Prince is deciding what his story will be. Just what did this mortal champion do to deserve his Daemonhood?
