Flesh Golems - an alternate take

[Grand Slam]

"As we searched through the halls of the necromancer's lair, we were disgusted at the sight of bloody flesh piled in the corners. Then, a familiar magic stirred in the air. All about us, those bits of bloody flesh began to swirl and form into horrific figures! Reginald nearly went mad on the spot. I can't say that I blame him. Our fight with the vile flesh golems was long and bloody. In the end, they were vanquished...but not without cost to our own party.

 

Upon reaching the necromancer's final chamber, we found that his flesh golems had allowed him enough time to make his escape. But he will not run for long. We were originally meant only to apprehend him. But, I now mean to slay him on the spot once I find him. Any being who can conceive of abominations such as this must not be allowed to live!"

 

After bulk buying those MTG sets, I was left with a lot of the Pummelroot Elementals. They're cool, but I certainly didn't need 15 painted the same way. I thought this would be an interesting alternate approach to flesh golems. Honestly, I think I was a bit too heavy-handed with the blood (but it's just so much fun!). 

 

Anyway...Happy Halloween!

Those guys are from a MTG boxed set that I bought my son for super cheap!! They’re originally all green and are plant monsters. I love your take on them!!

Original take on them!

Looks good, it works!

Nope that is exactly the right amount of blood. Great take on these - they really do look like mounds of glistening flesh.

[Great Khan Artist]

I agree. The blood is what sells the flesh elemental. 

[Thoramel]

Gross! But in a good way. Good job!

 

[Chaoswolf]

I agree as well; good work on them!

Delightfully visceral and squicky! 
Efficient too--the sustainable necromancer will use every part of the corpse after animating the skeleton and the skin separately.

This comment is 100% more enjoyable when read in the voice of a nature documentary narrator. 🙂

 

Thanks guys!

....oh man I love how much I hate this.  Very clever repurposing of the model.
