The big brother of the gargoyle, the old-school Bloodthirster model makes a great advanced threat for heroes.
Move: 6
Attack:5
Defend: 5
Body:6
Mind:6
Special Abilities: "Blood for the Blood God!" If the Bloodthirster hits a hero on his first attack each turn, he make another attack.

Neat, where did you get that mini?

ive been trying to find other versions of these I have these two they are cool models, nice paint job by the way

Thanks!

CynthiaLee - These are old Games Workshop models from around 1993 or so. The Bloodthirsters they make these days are a good deal larger and wouldn't fit nicely on a board, so you the old out-of-print models are the ones to get.

Like those old OOP bloodthirsters, will be stalking ebay for them now

I have like 3 (4?) of the original HQ Bloodthirster. (Gargoyle)
I went on a 'buy lots of HQ' frenzy a few years back. I have been waiting for the right time to whip out a 3 demon (that's what I call them in game) fight.

It is too weak From my point of view it should have about 8 Body Points; otherwise it is just a strong Ogre

Move 6 Attack 5 / 5* Defend 6 Body 7 Mind 7
The Bloodthirster has 3 Ball of Flame spells which he can cast instead of making the second attack.
*Two attacks: If both attacks are made against the same hero, the second is not defendable.

These stats are based on what I see in the figure.
I plan on using Thantos' (Zealot Miniatures') winged demon, which is similar in intent and scope to classic bloodthirsters, as the Guardian of Grin's Crag at the end of Kellar's Keep, to make him a worthwhile boss monster (with the stats given above), which KK sorely lacks, given that I'll also use double-square hallways (with a two squares long narrow entry point to the actual crag).

Both our counterproposals are equal to an Ogre Chieftain. Except for the two attacks and the balls of fire which makes him a lot harder.

The latter is interesting. Did you playtest it? Does he really have the opportunity to cast magic three times?

I have to playtest it before I re-write Kellar's Keep for my setup and ruleset.
Maybe one or two monsters with ranged attacks will support from behind. It might sound harsh, but it's the quest pack ending battle so it's not a bad thing if only one hero reaches the door.

This also makes a variant of line of sight necessary if you haven't my rules in use. My ruleset allows casting a spell on any one figure within the same room or corridor section by default.
This seperates that LoS from the one for ranged weapons.
