Ascended Flayer (Knight) by DM Stash

It wears the trappings of a knight — ornate belt, sweeping robes, a long blade levelled at your throat — but the face beneath the hood is all writhing tentacles and alien hunger.

• ✔ 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

The Ascended Flayer Knight is no mere colony guardian. This is a mind flayer that has transcended the role of schemer and taken to the battlefield directly, combining the raw physical menace of a warrior with the unsettling psychic authority of its kind. One hand clutches a long, elegant sword; the other crackles with eldritch energy, fingers curling around something coiling and intangible. The intricate belt buckle and armoured detailing speak to centuries of accumulated power — this creature has walked among nobles and warlords, and taken what it needed from their minds. The heavy, draped robes suggest refinement, but the exposed, muscular torso beneath and the predatory forward stance leave no doubt: this thing fights.

Two sculpts are included in this listing, each capturing a different angle of the same terrifying presence — one face-on with tentacles splayed and blade extended, one with the cowl drawn low and the energy gathering in its raised claw. Either works brilliantly as a boss encounter piece, an elite lieutenant, or the physical form of a conspiracy your players have been unravelling for sessions.

Whether you're placing it on the table as a climactic encounter or displaying it painted on a shelf, the Ascended Flayer Knight carries genuine visual weight at 32mm scale.

Perfect for adventurers who:

• Run Underdark campaigns featuring Illithid factions or mind flayer cults
• Need a warrior-class aberration as a boss or elite enemy NPC
• Want a centrepiece miniature that rewards detailed paint work — the robes, armour, and tentacles each offer distinct textures
• Are building a display collection of aberrant or alien creatures

Encounter Hook:
The party finally traces the string of noble disappearances to a masked figure seen at three separate courts — but when they corner it in the undercroft of a duke's manor, the hood falls back to reveal not a spy, but something that has been wearing the duke's face for months, and the real duke's mind is long gone.

Details

Supplied at 32mm scale. The model and decorative base are separate pieces — a small amount of super glue will secure them, and the base is well worth attaching as the sculpt interacts with it naturally. Supplied unpainted and ready for priming. As with all high-detail resin miniatures, minor imperfections from the print process are possible; any small marks are straightforward to address before painting.
