City Guard Knight by Epic Miniatures

He's held this post through a dozen changing lords, three sieges, and one extremely suspicious merchant caravan — and his grip on that sword has never once wavered.

• ✔ 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 City Guard Knight is the face of order in any sprawling fantasy metropolis — a seasoned warrior in full plate whose job is to stand between the peace and everything that wants to break it. This sculpt captures that tension in a single pose: knees slightly bent, sword levelled low, kite shield raised at the hip — a fighter who has learned through hard experience that you don't lunge until you're certain. This is discipline made physical.

The armour tells a story of its own. Broad pauldrons with riveted disc detailing sit above a layered breastplate bearing a shield-shaped sigil at the chest. A short draped cape falls behind the shoulders, and every articulated joint — knee cops, elbow guards, greaves — shows the kind of craft that comes with a knight of standing rather than a simple footman. The open-faced helm frames a weathered, determined expression: a face that has turned people away from city gates and doesn't feel guilty about it. On the back, visible chain links and laced fastenings add the sort of detail that rewards a careful brush and a dark wash.

Supplied with your choice of a decorative base or plain round base, this multipart miniature is built to take paint confidently — block colours, zenithal priming, or full NMM on all that plate are equally achievable with the sculpt's clean panel lines and sharp detailing.

This miniature suits adventurers who:

• Need a recurring city guard captain or watch commander as a named NPC
• Want a Fighter or Paladin player character in heavy armour for urban campaigns
• Are building out a city garrison or barracks encounter scene
• Appreciate a sculpt with the kind of armour detail that rewards careful highlighting
• Are running Ravenloft, Planescape, or any setting with fortified city walls and suspicious gate guards

Encounter Hook

The party has just watched a council member slip into a back-alley warehouse after curfew. Before they can follow, the clank of armoured boots announces a City Guard Knight rounding the corner — sword drawn, lantern raised, and a very clear expectation that the party explain themselves immediately. Is he an ally to be recruited, a bribe to be attempted, or a distraction while the rogue slips inside?
