I’m referring to this weird creature here:
(http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3BcrxOR6gr0/Uywt2MDIs8I/AAAAAAAAAHo/1hEiX-rNY24/s1600/satan.jpg)
It’s supposedly from "Dictonnaire Infernal" by Collin de Plancy. Illustration by Louis Le Breton:
http://fantastic.library.cornell.edu/bookrecord.php?record=F012
However, J.A.S. Collin de Plancy’s “Dictionnaire Infernal”, Paris : E. Plon, 1863, apparently stole the exact creature design from Salvator Rosa's "The Temptations of Saint Anthony", 1645. So much for intellectual property!

I know of no one who currently produces any figure like it in metal or plastic.
Thanks
Dan

If a GW Khorne Bloodletter had a threesome with a Tzeentch and a Slaanesh demon, and they produced an offspring, you're there. So maybe a spot of conversion with the right bits could work.
Other than that, I am afraid I have no idea of something similar.

Might have to get someone to sculpt it or make a 3D printable model.

Try "Lord of the Print" on Etsy for something similar
Mantis?

What about these hook horrors from CP Models?

I blogged about this mini about 6 years ago after I'd finally found out what it was I had... I'd even posted the code on the Lost Minis WIKI and hadn't made the connection...

Wow, that's pretty cool that there was in fact a miniature based on the drawing. And once again another reason to love and appreciate the fountain of knowledge here on LAF, the greatest tabletop gaming forum ever. That being said, doesn't look like it would be terribly hard to sculpt with the lack of details, even for someone with low to moderate skills. And failing that looking at some of the models presented here it likewise also wouldn't be that hard to kit bash something pretty damn close. If you're so inclined it would be cool if you gave us an update on how you proceeded with this and best of luck whatever you choose to do.

Just what I was thinking!

Oooh!
Didn't know they did them.
Time for another wander around their site, methinks.
Cheers!

Wow, I’m really liking those CP Models’ hook horrors! Thanks.
Also, someone sent me an email with a link to a Reaper Bones (#77262) ”Vrock Demon”:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/165449282885
https://www.reapermini.com/miniatures/77262
Perhaps … with the wings removed?

LOL. I didn’t know how else to describe the thing. :)
Dan

That Vrock Demon looks like a great base to start with to me. With the wings gone and a bit of careful thinning down overall I really think one could come up with a pretty damn close resemblance to the thing in the drawing.

Thanks. I’ve never worked with plastic Reaper figures before. Are they difficult to trim and reshape? Any special care before painting?
Thanks!
Dan

Hi Dan, while I've only messed with a couple of the bigger Reaper Bones figures I have cleaned up and modified plastic from a number of different lines and they're all pretty similar to some degree. I've had some success bending them by dipping them in hot water. The classic pinning method works pretty well on them too, especially on thicker pieces. I gave in and bought the GW mold line remover and that works great to shave things down and it has a little curve on it so it works on rounded areas but you always have your trusted old friend the Exacto knife. And I always wash my plastic stuff with a degreasing dish detergent before painting. If I think of anything else will let you know. Heh, I'm almost thinking of giving it a go myself. Good luck with whatever you decide and let us know how things turn out.

Diehard
Thank you, Sir!
Dan

You're most welcome. Just wanted to note I should have specified boiling water there, merely hot doesn't quite cut it.

"Does anyone make a figure of a giant naked chicken demon thing?"
Saw the title, saw the thread had run on to a second page, and said to my wife, says I: "I am afraid to even look." Hilarious that there are so many suggestions that fit that description nicely. Well, "nicely" is maybe the wrong word...
I love this place.

Hi Michael
So glad to find you here!
Yeah, I know, it’s not the nicest of critters. But you know me! I’m always looking for inspiration in the weirdest places.

I've found this too...

As a tangential aside, I seem to remember that one of the Call of Cthulhu books (not sure if GW or Chaosium) used a silhouette of the same De Plancy demon as an illustration for the "goblin" entry in a Dreamlands bestiary.
Does anyone else remember this?

Yes, that's on Page 33 of the Chaosium Dreamlands book:

Aha! Thanks! I must be remembering it from an earlier edition (90s?), but Chaosium does tend to keep the same text and illustrations from edition to edition.
-
I believe all the editions of Dreamlands have had the same front cover (one of my favourite pieces of art, I must admit) except for the first edition (1986), which has this bloke riding on a zebra:

Bad squiddo just released something as part of their KS that will work.

The metal Reaper VULTURE DEMON comes in multipart so the wings shouldnt be attached.
Hope that help

Luisito (that’s also my brother’s name, by the way),
That’s excellent to know. Thanks.
