Arsen, Horns of Hell Bust by Witchsong Miniatures

Once a guardian of the old woods, Arsen was corrupted by the very wildness he swore to protect — now neither living nor dead, he haunts the forest edge where mushrooms grow from bone and roses bloom in rot.

• ✔ Large-scale display bust — significantly bigger than standard 32mm
• ✔ Resin printed fresh to order in the UK
• ✔ Supplied unpainted — ideal as a centrepiece painting project
• ✔ Designed for display shelves and painting competitions

This bust captures Arsen mid-snarl, jaw agape, hollow eye sockets glowing with some forgotten fury. His broad antlers twist upward and outward, threaded with small blossoms that speak to what he once was. Below the neck, his body dissolves into layered bark, trailing leaves, blooming roses and a clutch of fungi that have claimed him as their host. It is the kind of face that DMs describe in hushed tones — the face of something that used to be worshipped, and now simply endures.

Mounted on a stone plinth base with a trophy-mount style backing panel, this piece reads as a collected relic as much as a creature — a taxidermied god, half nature spirit, half revenant. The level of sculptural detail across the fur texture, floral elements, and skeletal features makes it a genuinely engaging painting project, with multiple distinct material types to bring out through layering, washes, and contrast paints.

Perfect for adventurers who:

• Want a centrepiece display bust with exceptional textural variety
• Are building a corrupted nature or Feywild-adjacent painting collection
• Need a patron, villain, or fallen deity to anchor a campaign arc
• Are looking for a painting challenge with fur, bone, flora, and stone all in one piece
• Collect display busts as finished showcase objects rather than gaming pieces

Encounter Hook:
The druids of the Thornhallow Circle send word that the sacred stag-shrine has begun speaking — not in the old tongue, but in screams. When the party investigates, they find the effigy of Arsen weeping black sap, the surrounding trees stripped bare, and claw marks circling inward from miles away. Something woke him. Something is still feeding him. And the oldest druid in the Circle whispers that it might already be too late to put him back to sleep.

Details

This is a display bust, scaled for prominent shelf or case display rather than standard 32mm tabletop play. It arrives unpainted and ready for primer. The base is included as sculpted — the stone plinth with trophy-mount backing panel is integral to the piece.
