Help me find my demon...

[Daeothar]

To accompany the one large demon I have now for Frostgrave, the classic Orcus, I am looking for another demon in the same style.*

In short; the classic horned and winged demon with hooves and a bestial head.

I love the Orcus mini, and although there are a great many other demon miniatures out there, none has stood out as a suitable counterpart. The mini does not have to be a perfect match, but should stylistically fit next to it. So if we're looking at more of a plague demon or something, but still with the same aesthetic, that's good too. I'm hoping that the same sculptor did some others, as those would probably fit best of course.

So; I hope somebody might point me in the right direction here, because I've not been succesful so far and it's driving me nuts...  




* I'm aiming to have at least double the amount of creatures in the encounters list, as there's always a chance of rolling the same encounter twice. Yes, I know; there's a theoretical chance of rolling the same encounter 6 times, but I think I'm statistically safe having 2 of each...

What height is the Orcus?

I expect you are looking for your second demon miniature (with similar characteristics) to be a similar scale as well.

I'm not home right now, so I can't check, but I do have him on a 40mm base, which looks just right underneath him. I'll check tonight. I can then also include a picture of my own, with him compared to a well known other mini...

I remember that Orcus. I want to say he's about 40mm high. Mirliton has the "Hell beast" mini which is stylistcally similar and close to the same height:

There was one "Orcus" on e-bay until this morning. Other options could be:

"Orcus" by "Mortal Arrow" (former "Fractured Dimensions", I think)
.
Or maybe these guys, which seem to be smaller, but I don't think they really suit your needs


Also, check out these demons from Reaper.



I hope that helped !

Planescape.


More Planescape


More Grenadier from the same range as Orcus. Available from Mirlton.

Reaper was also one of the first things I thought of. They have a quite few others as well, though they start to head into a slightly different look (some of them based on popular RPG & literature, obviously.)

Here's mine, on/in a 40mm Renedra base, flanked by two Minor Demons. With them, you can see where I'm trying to go with these guys. I'm also looking for two medium ones, but those look not to be too much of an issue in sourcing; there are plenty of that size around.

The hapless German officer there is for reference purposes only; Orcus is a bit smaller than I thought and those Imps are a tad larger, but they will certainly do.

The German and demons together give off a distinct Achtung: Cthulu vibe now, don't they?


Reaper indeed has one or two candidates I'd be OK with to settle on, if there really is no great match to be found...


+++EDIT+++ Interestingly, I also found that the Orcus sculpt I have there, seems to have been completely re-sculpted along the line. An almost exactly the same miniature exists (see the link in my first post), with just minor differences in the shape of the eyes and it has scales on the underbelly, body shape is slightly more flabby, the staff is turned a bit, with a different head, etc. The wings seem to be exactly the same though. Maybe at some point the mould broke and they had to remake it?...
