Scrap Built Daemons (40k)

Looking at all my Daemons I've collected with my Chaos Marines through the years, I was saddened that I couldn't really use them anymore. Not really anyway, as I didn't have enough for a proper army. I have 20 Daemonettes (the really sweet metal ones with the tentacle hair), and 6 of the beautiful seekers, and then like 13 or so furies and a mass amount of Gibbering Hordes bases that I made for my Lost and the Damned army (now also defunct)... Well, on a whim I started pulling out all the more useless models in my boxes and grabbing all the scrap and crap I could find laying around and just started making daemons. The idea was that 1/2 the army was proper daemons, and 1/2 the army was daemons through different forms of possession.
There was no real rhyme or reason to my creations, just wherever inspiration led me, so, without further ado, here is my scrap built daemon army... cost me about $20.


Heralds of Tzeentch (with complete wysiwyg upgrades I might add, a challenge I gave myself):


Pink and Blue Horrors. They're supposed to represent puppet master daemons, so I wanted them to look whispey:



I made a lot.



Daemon Prince. A possessed Inquisitor. I was originally going to have the shadow eating a person mimicking the body eating the apple, but the person was too heavy... still haven't let the idea go yet tho...












Beasts of Nurgle:






Great Unclean One. This guy's actually supposed to represent a possessed landscape. His backside will be a hill under that tree, and of course weilding the obligatory barrel of toxic waste.


Possessed Plague Bearers (plague zombies):

Screamers. I read in the daemon book how daemons can only retain a physical presence through force of will, and then later read that screamers really have no will of their own, so it struck me to make them very ethereal, like they don't quite exist:




A note on numbers: I didn't show all my daemons here, just a sample, but I am making them all in multiples of their god's numbers. There are 7 beasts, 9 screamers (with another 18 on the way), 14 Plague Bearers, etc etc.
Stuff in the works: Fiends, Blood Crushers, Non-Possessed plague bearers.
