Monument 02 by Novaminis

At the heart of the old city square, the weathered obelisk rises above the cobblestones — its blank plinth worn smooth by centuries of hands reaching up to touch inscriptions that have long since faded.

Monument 02 by Novaminis is a tapered stone obelisk seated on a stepped square plinth with a recessed panel on the front face — the kind of civic landmark that anchors a city square, stands sentinel in an ancient temple precinct, or marks a long-forgotten burial site. The sculpt captures the worn, aged texture of old stonework along the column's surface, with a rounded finial cap and a sharp spire tip giving it a distinctly classical silhouette.

This is the second variation in Novaminis' monument series, and where the first leans into purely ancient aesthetics, Monument 02 carries a more refined civic character — the sort of obelisk you'd find commemorating a fallen general in an imperial capital, or repurposed by a cult as a focus for dark rites in a ruined city. The recessed plaque panel on the plinth is left blank, giving you complete freedom to paint in a dedication, carve in runes, or leave it worn and illegible for maximum atmosphere.

Whether you're dressing a city encounter, building out a graveyard district, or anchoring a set-piece plaza where your party meets its next contact — or nemesis — this piece adds genuine visual weight to any scene. It's equally well-suited to a display diorama alongside larger centrepiece miniatures.

This miniature is a great choice for adventurers who:

• Run urban campaigns and want distinctive landmarks for city districts
• Build out graveyard, ruin, or temple scatter terrain collections
• Want a focal point piece for set-piece encounter locations
• Are constructing a display diorama with a classical or imperial theme
• Need period-appropriate scatter terrain for Ravenloft or Planescape settings

Encounter Hook: The party has been told the contact will meet them at the old monument in the Merchants' Quarter at midnight. When they arrive, they find the base of the obelisk surrounded by a ring of salt — and the contact's signet ring propped against the plinth, still warm. Whatever took him left no tracks.

Details

Monument 02 is a scatter terrain piece scaled for use with 28mm–32mm miniatures. The sculpt features a tapered obelisk column with aged stone surface texture, a rounded brass-effect finial cap with a spire tip, and a two-tiered square plinth base with a recessed decorative panel on the front face. Supplied unpainted and unprimed — the surface takes spray primer well and rewards drybrushing and wash techniques to bring out the stonework detail. This is variation 02 of the monument series; variation 01 is also available separately.
