The Demons of Pride, visually, work just like the other demons. The sin in question is brought to the fore and exaggerated to the point of super-obviousness. These aren’t the daemons of GW. If anything, they’re consistent in reflecting the nature of sin. It’s pretty literal, kind of like Dante’s Inferno.

Sloth drags its butt on the ground. Wrath fumes and tears itself apart. Pride has a big head. Gluttony is dominated by a giant mouth and tongue. We still have Lust, Greed and Envy.

@uzo,
thats true (about the development process.) and I wasnt necessary talking about myself, Im still excited to see each process shot too :)
ps : you talk about a portion of the miniature, but afaik, the boxart are heavily photoshopped variants of the miniatures too, while it is sometimes ’shopped almost beyond recognition, it still gives a good indication of exactly how the miniature looks.

I like the humorous aspect of the demon of pride, tough somehow a little bit unfitting to the demon army (and I really hoped it was a new female non-angel demon.)

i quite like the demons of pride, the comic look makes them look slightly more twisted in a way.

OOOPS… so much for the previews excitement. Wave 6 please!
Saracens and Lost seem to be getting very neat stuff!

No way, the actual Demon of Pride (the guy on the right) is an awesome model because of the comic aspect. Check out his Sword of Overcompensation.

You can see a portion of at least one of each mini on the sides of the boxes as well. I actually think that the Greater Damned of Pride looks good.

Also, it might have been a slip up on Fantization’s part. But, its still nice to see the development of the final product. Not to mention the stats and reference cards for those of us who don’t have the rulebook.

I really wonder if this was meant to be done ?
it basically makes helldorados own preview method kinda.. unexciting, and losing the point of waiting several days for each new preview during the month.

I think it was already the case in the previous wave, but you can see that the names of the models are now written in four languages. Hopefully fantization will figure it out soon so they can spare us the automated online translations ;)
