Anyone know of a metal miniature to represent a vrolikai demon?
Vrolikai are large four-armed demons that easily resemble 4-armed gargoyles holding curvy daggers.
I know that there's actually a history of 4-armed gargoyles in D&D (I believe Tomb of Horrors had one?), but I don't know if it's been done as a mini, nor less a large mini (suitable for a large Pathfinder creature with 10x10 base).
So, any suggestions?
I know there's a Pathfinder Battles vrolikai demon. I'm looking for something in metal though.
Reaper has this guy: Rathuros
He might be a bit on the huge side of large though (just like his price tag). There's also a version in Bonesium plastic, for $13.
Is there a reason its metal or bust?
Maybe something like this if you attach wings to it your self.
You're going to have to mod a bit though.

He is on a 2" base so officially that would be Large, so it would be okay. (Huge is 3" base.) (I am also with the Black Bard--unless you have some special need of metal, I'd go with the cheaper and more durable model, and just weight down the base if you need to. I prefer metal to plastic for small miniatures for weight/durability, but in large miniatures they get expensive and difficult to assemble because of their weight.)
Here is another winged, multi-armed creature that is a little smaller, but still a good size, and you could glue to an appropriately sized base.
Also if you have any miniature hobby skill, or want to develop it, you could always pin/glue extra arms onto any mini of your choice, or as Shivok mentions, if you find an unwinged four-armed creature you like, glue wings to it.
Thanks, guys. Those are both really cool.
Rathuros is a big big for large, I think. He looks awesome, and I might fudge it a little for him to be large (His base notwithstanding, I think he's on the high side of huge). A bit out of my range right now, but something to consider. I've got too many big ones that I haven't assembled yet.
Crymorian Warrior is nice too, and more in my price range. He doesn't look that demonic, but it's amazing what the right coat of paint will do.
AS for why metal, I just like metal. I like the sense of it. I've done a few large metal miniatures that I'm pleased with (mostly Hordes/War Machine, but used for Pathfinder), and I'd like to do more. I don't need a vrolikai for my campaign (too high CR), I just would like to have something that represents one. The nabasu/vrolikai are my favorite of the demon-looking demons. Most of the unpainted miniatures I buy tend to be more because they're what I want, not because they're what my campaign requires, so I guess I'm buying them more for the hobby of painting them (or at least imagining that I will one day), than for actual table use. (Though I do tend to use them some at the table once they're finished.)
You could always buy the creature components pack and glue some of the bits onto the Crymorian warrior to make it more demonic looking.
Good luck! Hope it works out.
Thanks. I just now saw that creature components pack link. I can think of a few other uses for those components too.
