THat's a balor? Huh.

Despite the worries of many, the Balor still has his whip and sword, and is roughly humanoid.

Not a huge fan of the balor....something about the lighting seems off...not the worst, but I'd put him in the bottom 5.

 

[Fallen Seraph]

OOO, me likey. I especially like the face.

Bottom five...? This one's gotta be in my Top 3!

Ugh...its done by that artist who has no anatomical knowledge. The goofy play-doh arms all over the preview books were bad enough, i dont want them in all the core books too.

I loved his Tarrasque, but, I don't like his balor.

The pose is just weird. Looks very awkward. This is definitely not one of my favorites.

Now, the angels, I kinda liked them. Both the art and the flavor. Badassed mercenary angels spawned of the Astral sea. Cool.

The Balor is up now - and Swekel has done a great job on it.

Some of the details look a bit wierd, but it certainly feels like some sort of abyss-spawned abomination. I approve.

-Edit, wait, is that a mullet?

 

[Ravingdork]

Oh look, the new art is a bal...*NERDGASM*

 

[Jack Colby]

I don't see anything wrong with that Balor. I actually like it quite a bit.

Any bets on it's relative power compared to the Pit Fiend?

While a strong argument could be made that the Balor will be a soldier, from what we know about demons I'm leaning towards pegging the Balor as an Elite Brute around the same level as the Pit Fiend.
