Tides of Dread: Vanthus Mini?


Savage Tide Adventure Path


Hey whatsup? Do you know of any miniature resembling Vanthus in Tides of Dread? I'd love to get one just for playing Vanthus. Thanks!

I saw a good recommendation for the "Mephisto, Arch Devil" fig by Reaper, #2729 in their set. You might have a look at that. I guess it's a little big scalewise, but otherwise it looks pretty much dead on, wings and all.

The closest pre-painted minis I've seen are the tiefling blademaster and the fire gensai dervish. Sadly neither one has wings or a tail.


I plan on doing some minor customizing, got scads of old Mage Knight figures with various wings from the gargoyley things, to sucubi, and dragon thingies, that i am going to clip of and put on some other human mini. Haven't decided yet which mini, becuase we are still in "Here be Monsters" or what ever the adventure is called. So i have some time to figure it out, but one of the tieflings is high on the list of options.

I think the latest reaper series has sets of demon wings that you can glue onto other figs. Problem is, I haven't found a good subject yet.

In the spirit of completely jacking a thread, has anyone found a good figure for the vine horrors in SWW? I think there's some kind of shambling mound in the new minis series from WOTC, but I'm not sure how big it is.

Thanks Weasel, "Mephisto, Arch Devil" is the closest I could find for Vanthus, despite its "weird wings for a demon", I think this is the best, and it is a 25mm mini!! I'm getting this for sure to play Vanthus!!

"Demon Wings", interesting, I'll search for this too. Thanks Luke.

By the way, I used Stormrage Shamblers from the Unhallowed set as vine horrors, and it went down just right. I just made them "Large vine horrors".

The Stormrage Shambler is Large. Another DDM option resembling vine horrors is the Twig Blight from the War of the Dragon Queen set, but this are small creatures, i preferred the Shamblers.

This is the one I went for, as well. I think the wings can really work if you paint them to embody 'tainted' feathers. A sickly brown or dirty yellowish might do more for making him creepy than the traditional bat-wing. I haven't gotten around to painting mine yet, though.

Dang-it.

One day.

or you could add wings from your friendly extra fire mephits (page 2 of this thread)
