Grourd Necromancer Bust by The Witchguild

He doesn't need to speak — the curl of his lip and the cold fire flickering at the brim of his hat say everything your party needs to know about what's coming.

• ✔ Large-scale display bust — significantly bigger than standard 32mm
• ✔ Resin printed fresh to order in the UK
• ✔ Supplied unpainted — ideal as a centrepiece painting project
• ✔ Designed for display shelves and painting competitions

Grourd is a necromancer of the old school: the kind who earned his power through years of obsession, cruelty, and a relationship with death that goes well beyond academic interest. This large-scale collector's bust captures him from the shoulders up — long, lank hair framing a sneering, deeply lined face, with a vast wide-brimmed hat decorated with feathered and scale-like textures and a ghostly blue flame curling from its crown. His cloak is richly decorated with interlocking Celtic-style knotwork, rendered in crisp relief across the fabric. The whole piece sits on a detailed geometric plinth, making it a self-contained display piece straight from the box.

The sculpt rewards confident painters — there are multiple contrasting texture zones to work across: rough organic hat material, flowing hair, ornate cloak patterning, and deeply set, expressive facial features. Whether you're exploring zenithal priming, non-metallic metal on those cloak accents, or simply want a face that will genuinely challenge your blending skills, Grourd delivers. He's equally at home on a painting competition shelf or on the desk behind your DM screen as an ominous reminder of who's pulling the strings.

Well suited to adventurers who:

• Paint display busts and want a character with serious narrative weight
• Are building a gallery of fantasy villains, sorcerers, or dark sages
• Need visual inspiration for a campaign's main antagonist or shadowy patron
• Enjoy technically demanding sculpts with rich texture variety across a single piece

Encounter Hook:

The party has been tracking the source of the risen dead for three sessions. They finally breach the inner sanctum — and find nothing but this face staring back at them from a scrying mirror, Grourd's expression utterly unmoved. "You're further along than I expected," he says, almost approvingly. "Still not far enough."

Grourd is a large-format collector's bust, not a standard 32mm gaming miniature. It is supplied unpainted and is designed as a display and painting project piece. Supports are removed before dispatch, though minor clean-up may occasionally be needed around fine detail areas.
