Ankheg 04 by Yasashii Kyojin Studios
Description
The tunnelling stopped three days ago — but no one has yet found what killed the ankheg, or what now nests where its body fell.
- ✔ 32mm scale resin miniature, printed fresh to order in the UK
- ✔ Supplied unpainted and ready to prime
- ✔ Compatible with D&D, Pathfinder, and all tabletop RPGs
- ✔ Equally at home on the gaming table or the display shelf
This is pose 04 of the Yasashii Kyojin Studios Ankheg range, and it occupies a genuinely distinctive niche in any DM's toolkit: the dead ankheg. Captured flat on its back, all six segmented limbs splayed upward with curved claws frozen mid-air, the sculpt depicts the chitinous horror in its final, defeated position. The underbelly musculature is richly detailed — layered plates, exposed joints, and that distinctly alien silhouette that makes ankhegs so unsettling even when they're not a threat. At 22mm in height (lying flat), it reads clearly on the tabletop without dominating the scene.
Whether you use it as a combat outcome marker, a dungeon dressing piece, environmental hazard aftermath, or the centrepiece of an investigation hook, this is a sculpt that rewards creative DMs. It works equally well as a painted display piece on a shelf — the geometry of those clawed limbs and the textured carapace underside offer excellent depth for washes and drybrushing alike.
Suited to adventurers who:
- Want a dead-creature marker to track fallen monsters mid-encounter
- Are building Underdark tunnels, collapsed ruins, or wilderness encounter tables
- Need dungeon dressing with genuine visual weight and narrative presence
- Enjoy painting technically detailed creature anatomy
- Collect the full Yasashii Kyojin Studios Ankheg range
Encounter Hook:
The party enters the ankheg nest expecting a fight — only to find three of the creatures already dead, carapaces cracked from within, splayed in this exact pose across the tunnel floor. Something else has been here. Something the ankheg couldn't kill.
Details
Supplied at 32mm scale. The mini measures approximately 22mm in height as it lies flat. Supplied unprimed and unpainted, ready for painting or use as-is. Each piece is quality checked before dispatch; as with any detailed sculpt, minor imperfections from the printing process can occasionally occur and are easily addressed before painting.

The cats rolled Arcana to understand why humans spend so much time on tiny figures. They failed the check. They stayed anyway.
