Heya people I am looking for some alternative models for chaos furies for my chaos deamon army. Any winged deamons that decently fit on a 25 mm base. Preferably without any weapons, but I could of course do some cutting.
For those of you who are wandering why I want alternative models, GW is currently asking 14 euro for TWO, and those aren't all that hot models anyway.
I figured that human sized winged deamons should be easy to find cheap, but so far I am failing horribly at finding them.
Greetz,
Tim

Here are some cheaper models. Typically a few bucks a piece.

I'd say the Harpies would be your best bet, six of them for $40, or 31 euros.

Thanks man, I wasn't even aware reaper sells miniatures in unit sizes.
Still, to be honest I am looking for something A little less feminine, since furies are demons of chaos undivided and anything with boobs apparently is dedicated to slaanesh these days. :?
-
then search for gargoyles in the reaper store. :)

I was looking at those earlier. Most of them are in the Six to Seven dollar range. :(

Well, black tree do some old style harpies (before GW retconned them to look like winged females).
Actually, I've got 4 of those, and 2 of the old GW ones in the "for trade/sale" pile if you're interested, but they are a bit smallish compared to current GW plastics.
(ordering from black tree is also a bit of lottery, your stuff may come quickly, but it can also take a year or more).
-
I'll be considering that white knight, for once it would be a trade not to the other side of any ocean! lol How do those two different designs look together? And what price range are you thinking about?
Actually I am looking for some plastic wing less demon like creatures that I can ad wings to, but I find that composite models like that tend to end up a lot more expansive.
-
Actually, this is the first time I've really put them side by side and TBH, they don't match up all that well.
GW - BTD (harlequin)
(http://wk.frothersunite.com/misc/pics/harpies.jpg)
-
Hm, unit size is 5+ so A unit of four BTD's with a GW one as unit leader (even tough they dont have one) should work I suppose, Identical colouration should help as well.
Still, I have been thinking and I think a unit of 10 would be more optimal, then again I could order the rest from BTD and use a smaller unit until they get here... hmmm,
I am somewhat perplexed that there is no non GW company that doesn't produce generic winged demon plastics.
-
Well, I suppose you could cobble something together using plastic beastmen or ungor (do they do plastic bloodletters yet?) and some appropriate wings.
-
Yea they do plastic bloodletters for some time now, but since that is the biggest part infantry of my army I think I would prefer to have them look diferent.
I hadn't thought of beastmen yet, hm.
-
That doesn't sound too bad actually. The smaller plastic beastmen.... ungors or something would make a nice body. I dunno where you could get the wings from, there's the plastic Warhammer quest bat, but I don't think they make or sell those anymore. Maybe Tyranid Gargoyle wings?

Doesn't GW sell the harpy wings as a bits pack? Ungor bodies, harpy wings, demon heads? (should come out looking like a nightgaunt - on that note, have you seen the nightgaunt on em4s site? http://www.em4miniatures.com/acatalog/Horrors.html (http://www.em4miniatures.com/acatalog/Horrors.html) )
-
I have a unit of the black tree ones, they are a lower quality mini but cost effective.
I don't see furies having to be big, are there any 15mm winged daemons that would do but also cost less?
For example:

Looks like a unit of Goliaths. ;)

I'll be getting a mystery box of some old warhammer from a friend of a friend who quit long ago, so for now I'm holding of buying furies, as it would then of course turn out there is a unit of the things in that box. ;D

The Harpy wings that GW sells separately are in fact Harpy wing tips, entirely useless without the base part of the wing that comes attached to the Harpy model. :-[
Plastic GW Daemonettes with 40K Tyranid Gargoyle wings have become a popular conversion for both Harpies and Furies (as seen here):

Yea I once ordered those wings for my kroot mercenary army, big mistake.
anyhow, that link also has has pictures of ghouls with gargoyle wings, which I think I have seen before thinking about it now.
anyhow, friend of mine wanted to order some gargoyles to give some of his nid warriors wings, I think I might be able to snag the remaining ones for this, still I think I would need another box of both to fill out the unit.
Really, I am quite surprised there is no manufacturer that makes Not-furies as a alternative, considering how popular that market is these days.

These might be of use to you then again ;D.
