Duke by Great Grimoire

She turned up for the town watch wearing a bucket on her head, a barrel strapped to her chest, and a grin that said she'd heard every joke already — and she's still the one holding the spear.

Duke is one of those characters who makes an entire table laugh the moment she hits the mat — and then earns their respect three encounters later. Her armour is cobbled together from repurposed wooden barrels and crates, bound with leather straps into a surprisingly sturdy breastplate and bucket helm. The woodgrain texture is sculpted with genuine care across every surface: the slatted cuirass, the round shield slung on her back, even the rim of her makeshift helmet. She carries a long spear with easy confidence, her stance wide, her expression somewhere between cheerful and quietly dangerous. There's a story here, and it's a good one.

Whether she's a low-level guard the party keeps running into, a beloved NPC who becomes a recurring face in the campaign, or a player character who committed fully to the "I found some barrels" backstory, Duke brings immediate personality to any session. She's equally at home on a gaming table and on a display shelf — the sculpt rewards a painter who wants to lean into that worn wood aesthetic.

Perfect for adventurers who:

• Want an NPC guard with a distinctive look that players will actually remember
• Are building a militia, town watch, or faction of scrappy low-resource fighters
• Play a Fighter, Ranger, or Paladin with an unconventional aesthetic
• Love a character that tells a story without needing a word of explanation
• Collect character minis with strong visual identity for display as well as play

Encounter Hook:
The party arrives at the city gates and is stopped by a guard in what appears to be an upturned bucket and a barrel cut in half. She lowers her spear with a practised ease that suggests she's done it a thousand times, fixes each of them with a look, and says: "Right. Who's got the contraband this time?" She's not wrong. She's never wrong. Nobody knows how she does it.

Duke is printed at 35mm scale. If you'd prefer 32mm scaling, just send us a message and we'll sort it. A plain black base is included; a decorative base is available as an upgrade — just drop us a note with your preferred style when ordering. The base comes separate and attaches easily with a small amount of glue. Supports are removed before dispatch, and every mini goes through our quality control process, though minor marks from the printing process can occasionally occur and are straightforward to clean up.
