Something Nasty Dwells in the Forests of Spellcrow
May 28, 2012 by dracs
Spellcrow have now released their new horrific denizen of the sylvan depths of the woods. The Demon of the Woods!
This vicious looking guy looks as if he could deal some serious damage to anyone who defiled his forest realm. Kinda like the love child of an orc and a dryad.
Paint him slightly differently and he could be an eye-catching addition to a Beastmen army for Warhammer Fantasy Battles, or maybe he could simply be a lord of a forest "dungeon" which your heroes have been trying to escape from.
Whatever you might use him for I think he is a rather nice, menacing elemental figure and easily lives up to the expectations one would hold for Spellcrow's fantasy range.
What other uses can you think of for this guy? If he had a different paint job would he be suitable for other roles?

This guy looks pretty sharp now that he’s painted – I remember the green:

You could still paint him up in reds and bronzes for that more traditional demonic style, but he looks very good either way. I like the fine little vine-like growths on him, not to mention the brutish shape of the head (small top for small brains, large jaw for tearing large chunks of flesh) which coupled with the muscles really makes him look predatory.
The WIP was good as I said on that posting but to see it painted it looks even better. Hulk smash! comes to mind as well.
He reminds me of something you might expect from a Green deck in Magic the Gathering.

Defenetly that model has some of that same feel that some green creatures in MtG have.
I want him in my Wood Elf army. I don’t know what he’d be, but I want him. Maybe he could be like the Mr Hyde to Orion’s Dr Jeckyll…
