Knight of the Waxing Moon (Ardent Silathin) Bust by DM Stash

He has guarded the threshold between moonlit obligation and personal ruin for centuries — and his expression betrays nothing of which side is winning.

• ✔ 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

Ardent Silathin, Knight of the Waxing Moon, carries himself with the weight of an oath older than most kingdoms. This bust captures him at his most composed — which, for a warrior of his bearing, is also his most dangerous. The crescent-bladed halberd rises with ceremonial authority from one gauntleted fist, while a kite shield embossed with concentric lunar geometry guards his left flank. His armour is layered and purposeful: pauldrons cut like folded wings, a torso wrapped in articulated plate over quilted cloth, and a fur-trimmed cloak at his back whose sweeping surface is covered in intricate scrollwork — a painter's reward hiding in plain sight.

His long hair falls loose beneath pointed ears, and a blindfold — or scar-covering band — crosses one eye, lending him an air of measured severity that sits somewhere between monastic discipline and genuine threat. The decorative base beneath the bust is sculpted with filigree detailing that echoes the ornamental quality of his armour, giving the whole piece a finished, gallery-ready silhouette even before a brush touches it.

Whether you're building a display shelf of memorable elven characters, hunting for an ambitious centrepiece painting project, or simply want a piece that rewards close inspection — Silathin is built for all of it. The rear of the sculpt reveals a cloak alive with swirling relief patterns; the front rewards careful layering and NMM work on his shield and halberd alike. Supplied with a supported and an unsupported file option, alongside a separate decorative base.

This bust is well suited for adventurers who:

• Enjoy centrepiece painting projects with rich surface detail
• Want a display piece that holds its own on a competition shelf
• Are building an elven knight or dark elf character as an NPC or BBEG
• Love sculpts that reward both speed-painting and fine detail work equally

Encounter Hook

The party reaches the sealed antechamber of the Moonspire — and finds it already occupied. Silathin stands motionless at the far end of the hall, halberd planted on the flagstones, shield resting against his knee. He does not turn when they enter. He simply says: "You were expected. She said you would come, and she said I was not to let you pass. I am still deciding whether I agree with her." The players have exactly one conversation to find out which side of that decision he lands on.
