Dragonborn Raptor Rider with Axe by Epic Miniatures

The warlord's mount shrieked as it crested the ridge — scales and feathers blurring into one terrifying silhouette against the dying sun, its armoured rider already raising an axe to signal the charge.

• ✔ 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

This mounted miniature brings together two iconic fantasy elements in one ferocious sculpt: a heavily armoured Dragonborn warrior astride a feathered raptor, both rendered with the kind of detail that rewards a careful painter. The Dragonborn's draconic plate armour is layered and angular — pauldrons swept back into fin-like spines, gauntlets plated to the knuckle — while the raptor beneath is covered in overlapping scale-and-feather texture that shifts beautifully across its haunches and sweeping tail. It's the sort of mount that demands a warlord, and the rider delivers.

The composition is built for dynamic energy. The raptor leans forward on its taloned feet, tail fanning out behind for balance, while the rider carries an axe and commands the mount with the settled authority of someone who has done this a hundred times before. The sculpt sits on a large 51mm base, giving it the table footprint appropriate to a mounted Large creature — and giving painters a generous canvas for basing work beneath those feathered legs.

Whether you're fielding a Dragonborn paladin or fighter atop a velociraptor-style mount in a homebrew warband, or building a Dragonlance or Eberron-adjacent encounter, this sculpt fills a gap that most miniature ranges simply don't address: the mounted Dragonborn done properly. It's equally compelling as a display piece — the raptor's feathered texture and the rider's angular armour make it a satisfying project for painters who like variety in a single model.

• Dragonborn players looking for a mounted PC option with genuine presence
• DMs running mounted warbands, lizardfolk-adjacent factions, or dinosaur-riding raiders
• Painters who want layered textures — scales, feathers, and plated armour — in a single sculpt
• Collectors building out a display centrepiece that earns its place on the shelf

Encounter Hook: The party crests a dry canyon pass to find their path blocked by a Dragonborn outrider on a feathered raptor — one of three such riders circling at a distance. The rider raises an axe in greeting or warning — it's not yet clear which — and calls out a demand for a toll in Draconic. The party's translator hasn't mentioned that the final phrase used isn't really a toll request at all.
