Orc Bat Rider Shaman by Epic Miniatures

The war drums had barely faded when the shaman's bat crested the ridge — bone staff raised, skulls rattling in the wind, the omen of slaughter made flesh.

This large-scale mounted miniature depicts a broad, muscular orc shaman astride a fearsome winged bat, seated behind an ornate dragon-headed saddle mount. The orc is draped in heavy bone-and-skull adornments, wearing layered armour with prominent shoulder guards and holding a tall bone staff topped with antler-like prongs and decorated with skulls and wrapped bindings. His hood is drawn back, exposing a grim, heavy-jawed face framed by wild, textured hair — every inch the battlefield prophet of a ruthless war horde.

The bat itself is rendered with exceptional detail: broad leathery wings spread wide, veins and membrane creases visible across the full span, taloned feet braced for landing, and a snarling fanged muzzle at the fore of the saddle assembly. The creature's fur-covered body and clawed wing joints give the whole piece an organic ferocity that rewards careful painting — washes and drybrushing will bring out every wrinkle and ridge on those wings.

Mounted on a generous 51mm base, this is a large-footprint model befitting a significant encounter or a commanding display piece. The multipart assembly means each component arrives with the crispness of a freshly printed model, and the base choice — plain or decorative — gives adventurers flexibility for basing schemes.

Well suited to adventurers who:

• Need a mounted shaman or orc warlord for a climactic battlefield encounter
• Want a large-base monster that doubles as a display centrepiece
• Are building an orc warband that demands an aerial threat
• Love mounted miniatures with strong vertical presence and wingspan drama
• Enjoy detailed paintjobs where creature texture and character equipment each tell their own story

Encounter Hook

The party crests the hill to find the orc siege stalled — but not broken. Above the burning village, the tribe's shaman circles on his bat mount, chanting a rite that raises the fallen orcs as shambling husks. If the players don't ground him before the ritual completes, they'll be fighting both the living warband and the freshly risen dead.
