Reaper Miniatures Fly Demon - 77259

 

 

Moved a few more bones off the desk last night.  These are supposed to represent fly demons according to Reaper.  I painted them up as a Spider Eater from the third edition monster manual.  One of my absolute favorite monsters to drop on a party (I haven't seen fifth edition stats or pictures yet).  Nothing like the horror on your player's face when you pull an Aliens on them and a young Spider Eater rips from their character's chest - oh so much fun!

The only problem is that the Spider Eater is considered a large creature.  So either I plop these onto a large base for game purposes or I use them as "young" and reduce the stats a bit.  It is fantasy, so who says a fly demon can't look like a Spider Eater?
