The Dream Beasts

Greetings!  For my current campaign, I needed to create five guardian beasts which the players would have to defeat.  They served as sort of "meat walls" to prevent the players from venturing too deeply before they were ready.  Defeating all five monsters would unlock access to the Palace of Dreams.

The one I am featuring first is the Pig-God.  It's not the weakest of the five or the first to challenge the players and, as of the time of writing, he is undefeated.



More pictures of him on my blog The Fox & Goat!

More abominations to follow...

That is an UBERCOOL piece. I love all the paraphernalia he is SO amply supplied with...the wagon wheel is WONDERFULLY  useless, just the thing a Giant Pig would carry around. VERY WELL DONE!  
What model did you use as the basis for the conversion?

Wonderful model

The campaign sounds very intriguing as well.

I'm glad you liked him! The base model is a Skaven Stormfiend. The head is an orc boar head, the hand is from the Daemon Prince. Plus lots of bits and lots of green stuff!

Really awesome conversion! He/its just dripping with character, I can picture him smashing through a wall and into an unsuspecting warband.

Is it possible to get some more pictures from different angles?

Also what stats does he have?

Can't wait to see more!


Edit- just saw the blog so disregard the more pictures inquiry!

I will eventually do a blog post on him, but since you asked...

His stats are below.  Remember also that he gains the special rules for being a monster as described in the special rules for the Serene Annihilation campaign (to include Monstrous Attacks, etc.).

He is also intended to be able to take on two warbands at once, alone.
