This is pose 1 of the Novaminis Bugbear Chief range, and it sets the tone for the whole series. The Chief stands in a commanding, unhurried stance — clawed hands gripping the haft of a massive double-headed axe, its blade resting heavy on the ground before him. He wears a crown of branching antlers lashed with feathers, spiked pauldrons over a studded leather jerkin, and a great stitched fur cloak that billows behind him. Every detail speaks to a warlord who has held power long enough to stop needing to prove it. Sculpted with exceptional depth — the coarse fur texture, the riveted armour panels, the scowling muzzle — this is a miniature that rewards a careful painter and commands presence on any tabletop.

In D&D 5e, bugbears are fearsome goblinoids known for their raw physical power and unsettling cunning. A chief commands through dominance and dread, and this sculpt captures exactly that energy: restrained, watchful, and utterly dangerous. Whether you're placing him at the head of a goblinoid warband, crowning your Dungeon Master display shelf, or painting him as the centrepiece of a monster collection, he fills the role with weight and character.

Perfect for adventurers who:

  • Need a commanding boss monster for a goblinoid warband encounter
  • Are building an Underdark or woodland bandit campaign arc
  • Want a characterful centrepiece for a monster collection or display shelf
  • Are looking for a rewarding mid-to-large painting project with rich surface detail

Encounter Hook:
The party has been tracking a series of raids on outlying farms for three sessions. They finally locate the warband's camp — only to find it already assembled in a clearing, waiting. At the centre, leaning on an enormous axe, stands the Chief. He knew you were coming. He let you come. Now he wants to talk terms. Whether they negotiate or fight, this encounter just got a lot more interesting.

Details

Supplied at 32mm scale. Available with or without a plain black round base — the base is unattached and can be fixed with a small amount of glue. The miniature arrives unprimed and unpainted, ready for your brush or for immediate use on the table.
