I wasn't a huge fan of the demonic eggbeater known as the Defiler CCW, so I worked on a replacement. I made it mostly with a bunch of chain spiky bits and some chaos spawn arms. I think my inspiration was the cube chains from Hellraiser.
Working with the chain pieces takes a lot of patience. I made sure to just to one at a time and let them dry a full day before moving to the next one. I found previously that if you rush it you end up with a weak link on the chain.
Right now, the joints on the Defiler are just blue-tacked together. It'll be a while before I paint the guy due to other projects. The arm will be magnetized on so I can swap it with the heavy flamer. I think that will also help with transport since I am expecting it to be more fragile than other models.

looks good... i agree the 'out of the box' eggbeater is eh... my only concern would be trying to transport that beast now without snapping the chains... hopefully you've got that sorted out... but ya awesome conversion!

I like the conversion but your Daemon Prince is going to be really grumpy when he finds out his defiler can't make Italian meringue for him anymore.
Ask not the EldarGal a question, for she will give you three answers, all of which are puns and terrifying to know. Back off man, I'm a feminist. Ia! Ia! Gloppal Snode!

Those little chains are sturdier than expected. Anyway, the entire arm is magnetized and detaches so it'll be easy to keep it safe while Fluffy is transported.

I love the chains! I might steal that idea for my daemon price. It would give me something to do with all of those chains.
