Grimlock Chief by Novaminis

In the lightless depths beneath the world, something has united the Grimlocks — and whatever it is, it carries a skull in one hand and a great axe in the other.

• ✔ 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 is pose 01 of the Grimlock Chief range by Novaminis, and it captures the character's brutal authority in every detail. The Chief strides forward barefoot, a massive double-headed axe dragging at his side, while his free hand raises a humanoid skull — a trophy, a warning, or perhaps an offering to something that dwells deeper still. Iron chains hang across his scarred torso, spiked pauldrons frame his shoulders, and a skull-adorned headdress marks him as the dominant figure in any Underdark warband. The sculpt rewards close inspection: the texture of rough-hewn wood on the axe haft, the individual links of chain, the grotesque detail of the bone decorations all speak to a creature that has clawed its way to the top through sheer ferocity.

For Dungeon Masters, this miniature serves as an outstanding encounter anchor — a chieftain whose presence signals that the party has stumbled into organised, territorial, and deeply dangerous ground. For collectors and painters, the layered surface detail across skin, chains, cloth, and bone provides a genuinely engaging project with plenty of contrast opportunities.

Well-suited for adventurers who:

• Run Underdark campaigns and need a credible, imposing Grimlock leader
• Want a stand-out boss monster for a cave or subterranean dungeon encounter
• Enjoy painting detailed creature sculpts with varied textures and materials
• Are building a Grimlock warband and need a chief to lead it
• Collect display-worthy fantasy monsters

Encounter Hook:
The party discovers a cavern strewn with the gear of a missing scouting party — armour stripped clean, weapons snapped — and at the centre, a single torch still burning, arranged deliberately around a throne of packed earth. Before anyone can speak, the sound of chains begins echoing from three directions at once, and a rasping voice emerges from the dark: "You smell like the others. You will stay."
