In this ranking, we present you the 4 miniatures of the Greater Daemons. In third place lands a creature that looks both strange and dangerous, but also very stylish!
In third place, the Changer of Ways has made it. The bird-headed demon gives me the feeling with its face, posture, and long legs that it has just stepped out of Elden Ring or another Souls title, but then fell into the Feywild of Dungeons & Dragons: I like it.
What particularly works for it are its pretty wings. I love how the longest flight feathers almost run serpentine at the end, as if they were visually shimmering through magic, and the texture suggests that one could achieve really beautiful highlights with dry brushing (or a very patient hand).
Its two weapons, whether sword or staff, are equally really stylish and invite one to work really dynamically with light effects and NMM (Non-Metallic Metal) if one can (I’m not crying).
However, the Changer of Ways has a similar problem for me as the Blood Demon. When looking directly at the little bird, one finds no rest. And that’s despite being a rather animalistic design.
The details are beautiful, absolutely not static, and despite the metal, very organic, which I really like. But unfortunately, the miniature does not provide a really clear line of sight, as there is way too much love for detail in every feather, every body part, and its accessories.
It is almost exhausting to look at it.
What sets it above the Blood Demon for me is its extraordinary concept. While the Blood Demon represents a rather typical demonic image familiar from several media, I find the concept of the Changer of Ways simply very creative and beautiful. A mutated, magical bird with weapons and wings and yet absolutely creepy due to its gait? Yes, that’s just cool.
On the next page, I will show you who my second-placed demon is.
