Dragon Bane Defence by Epic Miniatures

When the drake's shadow fell across the valley, only one soldier held the line — spear levelled, spiked shield braced, eyes burning with something that had long since stopped being courage and become something colder.

Dragon Bane Defence is a commanding large-scale warrior sculpt from Epic Miniatures — a broad-shouldered, heavily built fighter caught mid-stride, spear angled low and forward in a braced offensive stance. A substantial spiked kite shield is slung across his off arm, armoured and battle-worn, while a wide studded belt anchors the flowing, tattered cloak that billows behind him. His horned helm sits low over a snarling, broad-featured face — this is not a figure asking permission to enter the encounter.

The sculpt rewards a painter's attention across its whole surface: the deep folds of that weathered cloak, the riveted leather and plate of the armour, and the craggy naturalised base underfoot all offer excellent contrast between hard metallic edges and softer organic textures. As a multipart miniature, Dragon Bane Defence gives you the option to position and assemble the spear and shield arms before priming, allowing you to plan your colour scheme around the full silhouette. It is offered with or without a plain round base, so you can choose whether to integrate it into your own basing scheme.

Whether you use this miniature to represent a legendary champion, a cursed warrior sworn to slay dragons, or the BBEG your players have been dreading since session one, Dragon Bane Defence carries real visual weight on the tabletop.

This miniature suits adventurers who:

• Need a formidable, large-footprint warrior for high-stakes encounters
• Are building a dragon-hunting campaign or arc with a memorable combatant centrepiece
• Want a detailed showcase piece that rewards careful painting
• Prefer their BBEGs to look like they've actually survived a war

Encounter Hook: The party arrives at a mountain pass to find a lone armoured figure standing among the scorched remains of a dragon's first attack. He doesn't move as they approach. He doesn't speak until they're close enough to see the carved draconic script across his shield — tallies, dozens of them, one for each kill. He turns and levels his spear at the ridge above. "It comes back at dusk," he says. "Are you staying or leaving?"
