Heavenly Guard Holy Book by Epic Miniatures

When the gates of the divine realm are threatened, the Heavenly Guard does not negotiate — it levels its greatsword and lets the runes speak for themselves.

This is a miniature that commands a tabletop the moment it hits the mat. The Heavenly Guard — Holy Book variant — is a large-scale armoured sentinel clad in razor-edged celestial plate, every panel decorated with angular, divine geometry. A crown of sharp spines rises from the helm, and the figure carries its colossal runic greatsword low and ready, dragging the tip across the floor with the casual authority of something that has never once worried about losing a fight.

The Holy Book designation sets this guardian apart from its kin. Rather than a standard battle stance, one gauntleted hand holds a tome or runic artefact — a detail that opens the character up to interpretation at your table. Is it a divine judgement already written? A name being erased from the Book of the Living? A warrant for the party's souls? That ambiguity is half the fun. The figure's expressionless helm adds to the sense of implacable, bureaucratic divinity — this isn't wrath, it's enforcement.

Equally compelling as a lawful-neutral divine enforcer, a fallen celestial repurposed by a lich lord, or the final encounter at the end of a campaign that asked hard questions about who deserves mercy, this miniature rewards both painters and storytellers. The sharp, angular sculpt takes drybrushing and edge highlights exceptionally well — gold and silver metallics on a black undercoat will make those geometric armour panels sing.

• Adventurers building a celestial or divine encounter for a high-level party
• DMs running campaigns in Avernus, the Astral Sea, or planes-adjacent settings
• Painters drawn to hard-edged geometric armour and dramatic blade design
• Collectors seeking a display piece that sits comfortably alongside other large-scale antagonists

Encounter Hook: The party arrives at the entrance to the Vault of the First Covenant to retrieve a stolen divine relic — only to find that a Heavenly Guard has already sealed the doors from within. It is not attacking. It is reading from the Holy Book. Every name it speaks aloud vanishes from the party's memory. They have about four rounds before they forget why they came.

The sculpt is designed at large scale, sitting noticeably taller than a standard 32mm human-sized miniature.
