Dog Tribe Bard by Epic Miniatures

From the firelit camps of the Dog Tribe comes a bard who fights with melody as readily as with steel — fiddle tucked under a broad jaw, eyes gleaming with mischief and menace in equal measure.

This Dog Tribe Bard from Epic Miniatures cuts a wonderfully characterful figure — a stout, broad-shouldered canine humanoid mid-performance, bow arm working across a well-detailed fiddle clutched to the chest. The sculpt carries real personality: a wide muzzle open mid-howl-or-verse, heavy pawed feet planted with confidence, and layered travelling clothes — a stitched cape patched with a decorative knotwork motif at the back, fur-trimmed sleeves, belted trousers with laced detailing, and a belt hung with small tools and pouches. The rear of the sculpt is just as well resolved as the front, with flowing cape fabric and a tail of braided or tufted material visible below the belt line.

Whether you run the Dog Tribe as a proud nomadic people, a mercenary warband who trade in songs and secrets, or a chaotic rabble that has one suspiciously talented minstrel among them, this bard sits at the heart of the story. The sculpt holds enormous painting potential — fur texture across the arms and feet, knotwork embroidery on the cape patch, and the fine detail of the stringed instrument all reward careful brushwork.

This miniature includes a choice of base: a decorative medium base (25.5mm) or a plain medium base, depending on your basing preference.

Suits adventurers who:

• Play a Tabaxi, Harengon, or homebrew dogfolk Bard and want something full of character
• Need an NPC bard for a tribal settlement, wilderness camp, or rowdy roadside inn encounter
• Want a centrepiece for a painted display that rewards time spent on texture and detail
• Are building out a Dog Tribe warband or humanoid beast-folk faction for their campaign

Encounter Hook:

The party hears the music before they see the camp — a fiddle tune that is somehow both mournful and threatening. As they step into the firelight, a stout dog-folk bard stops playing, fixes them with one eye, and says: "You walk into a Dog Tribe camp uninvited and the first thing you do is interrupt the song. Sit. I'll decide if that's brave or foolish by the time I finish the next verse."
