How is a person going to save money if each new batch of minis just looks better than the one before? Oh well guess I'll be sending my kids to Community College

In the RPG version of the Aspect of Orcus, the wand's effect is:
1/day-Death Strike: a creature struck by the wand must make a Fort DC 17 save or die.

Unfortunately, the death strike must be activated before the attack roll is made.

Still, with the wand being +16/+11 melee (2d6+10/19-20), it's pretty good.

Here's my guess at the mini's stats:

ASPECT OF ORCUS
LVL 9; SPD F4, AC 21, HP 105
Melee Attack: +16/+11 (15 magic)
Missile Attack: -
Type: Large Outsider
Special Abilities: Independent. Cleave. Death Strike [] (on a successful melee attack, target living creature makes a DC 17 save or dies); Immune Electricity, Poison; Resist Acid 10, Cold 10, Fire 10. See Invisible.

I haven't taken his Power Attack into consideration in the attack scores, though.

Cheers!

Merric,

I was wondering when you would wander over to this thread. You gotta like those demons, eh?

The Orcus figure doesn't look like Orcus to me; the head isn't ram-like enough. This is what he should look like Of course, I need to paint mine yet...

Regardless, I'll still use the fig for a cool-looking demon. The Vrock's not too bad, either.

The vrock looks a little strange to me, mostly because I can only see three of its four appendages.... It appears to be missing a leg/arm? Somewhere behind its beak?

It looks like the right leg is up in the air, with the talon right behind the beak and to the right of the arm. It's not the best picture; took me a moment to figure it out.

 

[John Crichton]

I like. Mucho.

I've had my 2 cases pre-ordered for a month now...
