Crossbow Guard Knee by Epic Miniatures

The bolt was already nocked before the intruders reached the gatehouse steps — this guard does not wait for trouble to come to him.

Disciplined, armoured, and already taking aim — the Crossbow Guard Knee captures that breath-held moment just before a bolt is loosed. He drops into a low, braced stance, one knee planted firmly as he levels his crossbow with both hands, his gaze locked onto a target somewhere beyond the table edge. There is nothing casual about this pose; every line of the sculpt reads as trained, deliberate, and ready.

The armour is a layered blend of scale mail across the shoulders and torso, articulated pauldrons, and reinforced greaves — practical kit worn by someone who spends long shifts on a wall or in a gatehouse rather than marching to glory. A broad utility belt cinches the waist, and the helmet sports a forward-swept visor that speaks more to the city watch than the battlefield knight. The back of the sculpt reveals the scale mail in crisp detail, along with a bolted quiver at the hip — a touch that rewards painters who take their time with this one.

Whether he's a loyal city guard caught in your party's heist, a corrupt watchman on a crime lord's payroll, or a veteran mercenary holding a chokepoint, the Crossbow Guard Knee brings a grounded, soldierly energy to any encounter. He paints up well in livery colours for a specific city faction, or in battered field greys for a more mercenary feel.

Adventurers who will love this miniature:

• Dungeon Masters running urban intrigue, heist scenarios, or city watch encounters
• Players building a Fighter or Ranger PC with a professional soldier background
• Painters who enjoy military armour, scale mail textures, and sharp equipment detail
• Collectors building out a city guard retinue or garrison force

Encounter Hook: The party has been hired to retrieve stolen documents from the city treasury — but the night shift has just rotated, and two fresh guards now hold the corridor. One is already kneeling behind a crate, crossbow trained on the only entrance. The rogue's Stealth check just became significantly more important.
