Snow Golems

Snow golems are golems crafted from snow and given life. They are used as guards by wizards in the colder regions of the world, where they can avoid melting.

I wanted these to look a little “goofy”, hence the blue eyes and bljue teeth!

They blend in well in snowy environments, where a mound of snow is completely indistinguishable from all the surrounding snow. They hate fire, and as they begin to take damage, they fly into a rage in which they attack anything.

Berserk. Whenever the golem starts its turn with 20 hit points or fewer, roll a d6. On a 6, the golem goes berserk. On each of its turns while berserk, the golem attacks the nearest creature it can see.

If no creature is near enough to move to and attack, the golem attacks an object, with preference for an object smaller than itself. Once the golem goes berserk, it continues to do so until it is destroyed or regains all its hit points.

The figures are from reaper that I have had for a long while but never even thought of painting them.

I will now have to paint something for them to fight, like these snow men and kids from Old Glory with snowballs. Funny how one thing leads to another. Kind of “gets yah”!

12 Snowmen and 12 children with snowballs.

Oh well, these will just have to move up the painting queue from unlikely ever, to a definite maybe.

  1. Nice work! I have those minis too, but they have been sitting around forever. I added them to an order because they were on sale. But preorder items delayed the order by nearly a year. So when I finally got them, I couldn’t even remember my original plans for them! I think I might have been planning to paint them as mud elementals.
