Warriors of Chaos Be'lakor Daemon Prince (Finecast) unboxing

Khorne Chaos Lord on Juggernaut and Be'lakor, Chaos Daemon Prince

Last week I got my last order from Games Workshop, the recently released Finecast versions of Be'lakor the Chaos Daemon Prince and the Khorne Chaos Lord on Juggernaut. These are Direct Only products so you could order them only from GW itself and they came in a generic white cardboard box.

The content of the boxes is what you expect from a Finecast miniature, a bunch of resin sprues that hold (or try to) all the pieces of the models

Be'lakor, also known as the The Harbinger or The Dark Master in the Warriors of Chaos fluff and it is a really evil looking Deamon Prince

I don't play Warhammer Fantasy Battle but I like this model very much and I think it will be a nice addition to the growing list of Chaos model I'm collecting

The miniature come in four sprues, along with a 50 x 50 mm square base. In the first sprue you find the main body, the head and the chain mail loincloth

The chain mail loincloth is well detailed and it will go along very well with what I'm planning for my Chaos models

The horns on the head are pretty big and are adorned with rings: a common theme in this miniature as you could find some of them also on the legs and on the wings

A second sprue is dedicated to the Be'lakor' legs

The wings are the predominant element of the remaining sprues and are beautifully detailed with many rings, chains and skulls

This last two sprues also includes the tail and the two hands, one of witch held Be'lakor sword

I'm a bit disappointed about the sword: I was expecting more details on the blade

As this is a Finecast model, mention should be made of the quality of the model I received. From past experiences I was expecting big holes caused by air bubbles or miscast due to bad mold alignment and I'm really surprised by the lack of such defects on this model. Maybe I just got lucky for once or maybe GW finally figured out how to make Finecast work

I've also made a short video review of Be'lakor on my YouTube channel


In the following days I will post a similar review of the other miniature I got along with Be'lakor: the Khorne Chaos Lord on Juggernaut
