Minotaur Tribe Bard by Epic Miniatures

In the labyrinthine halls of an ancient minotaur stronghold, the war-drums fall silent as a gravel-voiced bard steps forward — crossbow in hand, fiddle on his back — to sing of bloodlines older than any empire.

• ✔ 32mm scale resin miniature, printed fresh to order in the UK

This Minotaur Tribe Bard is a character full of contradiction — a creature of raw physical power who has chosen the arts of song and story over brute conquest. Sculpted by Epic Miniatures, the piece captures him mid-swagger: stocky, bull-headed, and dressed in layered traveller's kit complete with a buckled top hat. He carries a compact crossbow at the ready, a bedroll and pack lashed to his broad frame, and — slung across his back — an ornately carved fiddle, its scroll-work visible in delightful detail. Cloven hooves and curling horns anchor him firmly in the bestial, while the shamrock-buckled coat and confident gait hint at a life spent charming and surviving in equal measure.

The sculpt is offered on a medium round base (25.5mm), giving him a solid tabletop presence without dominating the encounter. The level of surface detail — from the woven rope of the bedroll to the carved fingerboard of the fiddle — rewards careful painting, whether you're working in contrast paints for speed or layering for display-quality results.

This multipart miniature also comes with a plain base option if you prefer to use your own basing scheme to match the rest of your warband.

A good fit for adventurers who:

• Need a distinctive NPC bard, tribal storyteller, or wandering herald for a minotaur clan
• Are building out a minotaur warband that goes beyond the typical warrior archetypes
• Want a Bard player character with a monstrous-race twist — Minotaur Bard is a fully valid character concept
• Enjoy painting miniatures with a wealth of small surface details to bring to life
• Are running a tribal, wilderness, or labyrinthine dungeon campaign and need a memorable face

Encounter Hook

As the party descends into the Thornmaze Warren, they hear it before they see anything — a low, sonorous melody echoing from somewhere deeper in the tunnels. When they finally round the corner, they find a stocky minotaur seated on a broken pillar, crossbow resting across his knees, playing a fiddle with surprising delicacy. He introduces himself as Thorruk the Twice-Tongued, emissary of the Ironhoof Clan, and he has a proposition — and a warning — for anyone willing to listen.
