I’m posting this to pool our creative resources in advance of my first forays into sculpting. With support from the ministry of interior,* I’m finally taking up a non-sport hobby, and I plan on throwing myself into this.
With that said, here’s what I’m asking: how many creative ways can we think of for a demonic laborer?
The background to my idea is this: across the multiverse, evil dwarves seem to understand that demons, dredges, elementals, and all sorts of haunts are tools to be exploited rather than icons to be worshipped. If it can’t carry your baggage or serve as a meat shield, send it to the mines. So other than sending it to the mines, what things could we use such creatures for?
I can think of a few working examples so far:
- Old School Miniatures and the orange demon thing pulling a wagon
- The ogre loader for evil dwarf mortars found with Forge World, Lost Kingdom, our own Brawniac, and more.
- Ass cannons, which are everywhere, as they should be.
I have a few other ideas for things I might try to shape from green stuff:
- A weapon team with a “flamethrower” which is actually just a demon in chains breathing fire at enemies whenever an evil dwarf beats it with a stick.
- A sentient and intelligent demon forced to crawl on its hands and knees as a mount.
- Demons chained to the front of a mechanized chariot like a bumper on a car.
- A weapon team with a mortar which is a chained demon laying eggs into the mortar, and its eggs are the exploding projectile.
But I only have one brain, and it doesn’t even work right on most days. So in a similar vein, what other ideas could you all share?
P.S. I don’t own any of the ideas, including those I posted above. In fact, the more people experimenting with this, the better, so this is all about sharing.
