Demons Burst Forth from the Ether with Fractured Dimension
October 9, 2012 by brennon
Fractured Dimension has caused a break in reality and the Demons are taking advantage of it! Check out the final stages of their Type III Demon; Glabrezu below in all his deadly glory...
Here you can see it up against a typical 28mm miniature for scale comparison. I'm liking the extra arms and the strange pincer like weapons molded into its flesh. It would be good to see some more options for those hands though, maybe a sword in one of the raised hands.
The face is where a lot of the detail is though. A cool snarling maw that could earn him the name 'Devil Dog'. He's a fairly big model so it would be interesting to see what people use him for in their wargaming.
What do you think of this Type III Demon?
I would rather the crescents were weapons held in good sized hands tbh
But really liking the sculpt. And at last! So good to see a beastman type figure with legs big enough to support the torso for a change!
I see the demon holding scimitars
I can imagine the Villain of our campaign confronting the adventuring party summoning this dude from the depths of hell then slinking off as they are left to fight for their lives against Glabrezu! YIKES!
As a D&D veteran, I’d have to add that if the model didn’t have crescent-pincer hands, it wouldn’t be a Glabrezu. Just as a Vrock wouldn’t be a Vrock without a vulture’s head, or a Mindflayer wouldn’t be a Mindflayer without tentacles.
As a classic D&D monster, I think it gets the vibe right, if only it was a bit bigger. They’re supposed to be Huge-size category, after all (at least in 3.5 and Pathfinder).
Over all I like it. It could be used as a Goregon or something.
Pretty sure this is designed on the Type 3 from the AD&D monster books. Forget which one. Looks great!
