Assassin (Bastien) w/Hood Down Bust by Primal Collectibles

He doesn't wait in shadows — he steps into the open, blades drawn, because he's already decided how this ends.

• ✔ 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

Bastien Étienne is a man who carries himself with the particular calm of someone who has never lost a fight they chose to start. This bust from Primal Collectibles' Uncharted Kingdoms: The Shining Flow series captures him mid-confrontation — arms spread wide, a short blade gripped in each hand, his great cape billowing behind him as though the very air is parting to make room. His expression is controlled, intent, and just slightly contemptuous. He's not angry. He's already won.

The sculpt rewards the painter at every angle. From the front, the layered leather armour — cracked at the chest, buckled tight at the waist — gives way to a broad, confident stance. The detail on his gauntleted forearms, the clustered belt hardware, and the textured weave of his collar are all crisp and paintable. From the rear, the cape dominates: wide, structured folds cascading from armoured pauldrons in a way that practically begs for a zenithal highlight and some careful glazing. As a bust format, this piece is built for display and painting technique rather than the tabletop — it's a statement piece, the kind that earns a second look from anyone who picks it up.

Perfect for adventurers who:

• Want a substantial display piece to showcase their best brushwork
• Are building a collection of character busts from named fantasy worlds
• Need visual inspiration for a morally grey rogue, assassin, or duelist NPC in their campaign
• Enjoy large, textured sculpts with satisfying detail across armour, cloth, and facial expression

Encounter Hook:
The party has been hired to intercept a courier carrying a sealed letter bound for the city's spymaster. They're waiting in the narrow lane behind the dyer's quarter when a figure strolls out of the lamplight ahead — cape drifting, both hands already clear of his coat. He doesn't introduce himself. He simply says: "I've been paid to deliver that letter. You've been paid to take it. One of us is going to be disappointed." That's Bastien Étienne. Roll for initiative.
