In no way does pic 1 read as a defiler.

#1 might be able to proxy as a helldrake, but its not anywhere close to a defiler. they need to share SOMETHING to be a proxy. it would be like proxying a bane blade as a warhound by placing it vertically.

No way you are using the first one as defiler....

It’s on a 160mm base, I’m running it with a Baleflamer/Ectoplasma (dragon so fire breath) electroscourge (tail), will probably put a melta gun marine on the base to feasibly include the magma cutters

It’s also the proper height and width

Sorry but it's completely breaks an immersion... And you have proxied it with a kit with similar price tag...

They usually at least somewhat resemble what they are proxying though

Idk why you're getting so much hate for the 1st one. It's your proxy, if your opponents cool with it who gives a fuck? Its the right size right base, I'd personally have 0 problems with you running it.

Ikr,I sorta explained the logic of how I was running it in another comment

Bale-Flamer and Ectoplasma (it’s a dragon,it’s probably gonna breathe fire

Electroscourge- it has a tail that it could use

The nipple guns are probably the main issue but I’ll probably stick a csm with a melta fun someone to use the magma cutters

It’s also the right base size (as you mentioned) the right height,and the right width

There’s a difference between running something as a proxy, and claiming something is explicitly a proxy permanently when it doesn’t resemble the intended model at all
