Remember the old Young Sherlock Holmes movie where he fights some animated stained glass? Well I do anyway, and I wanted my group to all die a painful death by something unusual(which is all the time amirite DMs?) Spoiler alert, "Shatter" spell is the opposite of "Mend", and it took 4 rounds for the party to figure it out and win the day. TPK another day I guess! CD case, I drew a simple 2d effigy and traced it on with a hobby knife, and scuffed it up wiht sandpaper in prep of the paint:  Make it a friend because blessings come in pairs:  Line them out in black for the leadding, and I mounted them in a block of foam core to match our old terrain tile set(now using plaster cast from Hirtsarts)  This was on game night right before they figured out the spell:  Hope you all enjoyed it! P.S. Before you ask, I still havnt painted that Monopoly LOTR Aragorn, but thats another story. |

Those are really great! There was an official Stained Glass Golem(?), back in 1e's Monster Manual II, or Dragon Magazine, or both. I'd have to look it up, but it was done back in the 80's. They actually stepped out of the glass pane, swinging their weapons. It was a cool idea, back in the day. Seeing someone make them up like this, is a neat flashback in time... Thanks for sharing! I don't think I ever used these monsters, but seeing this, is moving me towards that end.
Well executed, accurate presentation, extremely playable. Great piece of work! Cheers!

Thank you!
This was for a 3.5 campaign a while back, but I think they are in 4e, however I found pathfinder rules for glass golem and that worked fine.

or alternatively you could just draw them and color them on shrinky dinks , much easier to cut , and you can get them in the shape of the golum , without the glass pane included . this also lets you do them in different sizes and use standard bases .
also lets you end up with the glass they stepped out of ..................

@ erho: these look really well done. They definitely represent glass golems. I will have to add this technique to my list to try out. sgtslag: Those are really great! There was an official Stained Glass Golem(?), back in 1e's Monster Manual II, or Dragon Magazine, or both. I'd have to look it up, but it was done back in the 80's.

Cheers! 2nd Ed Monster Manual (p.169 in the copy I have) has an entry for Glass Golem along side with a Gargoyle Golem.😁 |

Well, at least he reminded me of this old post of yours. Now I am making a list of things I might want to do with a CD case - before I recycle all the ones I saved for "just in case". Starting with this idea.
