Dragon Kobold Sword by Epic Miniatures

Somewhere between the kobold warrens and the dragon's hoard, a champion was forged — part cunning lizardkin, part draconic fury, all ambition.

Kobolds are often dismissed as cannon fodder — small, skittering, easily routed. This one did not get that memo. The Dragon Kobold Sword is a champion sculpt that channels the ferocity of its draconic masters into a single explosive pose: knees bent, torso twisting, one hand raising a rune-etched sword overhead while the other crackles with spectral flame. Every detail speaks of a creature that has earned its place at the top of the warren's pecking order.

The sculpt is richly detailed throughout. The kobold's scaled skin is rendered with fine texture across its coiling lower body, and its chest is wrapped in chainmail beneath a wide rune-carved belt. It wears layered bracers, and a skull-faced pauldron sits at the shoulder — trophies of something it clearly defeated. In its off-hand, flame-wreathed claws curl with menace, and a circular shield bearing a skull motif lies pinned beneath its feet, as though it has claimed dominion over the battlefield itself. The face is wide-mawed and feral, mid-snarl, with small horns curling from the crown.

This bundle includes both the plain-base and decorative-base variants in one order, giving you flexibility for gaming or display use. Whether you want the creature mounted on a scenic base for a collection shelf or on a plain base to fit your own basing scheme, both options are covered.

As a painting project, this kobold rewards time and attention. The rune-carved blade, the skull iconography, and the flame effects on both hands each offer distinct painting challenges — OSL on the flames, freehand opportunities on the blade runes, and a striking contrast between the metallic armour and the organic scaled skin beneath.

• Brings genuine menace to any kobold-heavy encounter — this is the warchief the party didn't expect
• Works brilliantly as a mini-boss at the heart of a dragon cult warband or warren assault
• A satisfying painting project for adventurers who want varied textures and flame effects
• Equally at home displayed beside dragon miniatures as part of a draconic faction collection

Encounter Hook: The party has tracked a series of village raids back to a kobold warren tunnelled beneath an old watchtower. When they finally reach the inner sanctum, they find it decorated with the shields and weapons of adventurers who came before — and at the centre stands the Dragon Kobold Sword, holding the stolen hoard-tribute it was tasked to protect, crackling with flame and very clearly not afraid.
