Lyks, Hades Howl Bust by Witchsong Miniatures

Where death meets bloom, Lyks watches — a wolf whose flesh has given way to petals, whose howl echoes from somewhere beyond the veil.

• ✔ 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

This is no ordinary beast. Lyks, the Hades Howl, is a display bust of extraordinary craft — a wolf's skull wreathed in full blooms and cascading petals, as though nature itself has claimed what the underworld left behind. Roses crown the brow, wildflowers tumble down the chest, and fur and flora intertwine in a composition that speaks equally of beauty and decay. It is the kind of piece that demands to be lingered over — each pass of the brush rewarding the painter with another layer of texture to bring to life.

For Dungeon Masters, Lyks offers rich narrative possibility: a spirit of the wild hunt, a divine herald of a death god's domain, or the last remnant of a cursed druid who surrendered their form to the forest. Display it on your shelf as a centrepiece, or let it inspire the next great villain — or patron — your players will never quite forget.

Well suited to adventurers who:

• Want a detailed, painterly display project with exceptional surface texture
• Are building a fantasy bust collection with a dark-naturalist theme
• Need visual inspiration for a death deity, nature spirit, or underworld encounter
• Are drawn to the intersection of macabre and floral aesthetics in miniature art

Encounter Hook:
The party has been hired to investigate a forest shrine where offerings keep disappearing. When they arrive at dusk, a colossal wolf — its skull half-exposed, its mane thick with living roses — steps from between the trees. It does not attack. It tilts its head, and speaks in a voice like wind through a graveyard: "The god you seek is already inside one of you."

What's included:

The cats rolled Arcana to understand why humans spend so much time on tiny figures. They failed the check. They stayed anyway.
