Primal Centipede by Epic Miniatures

Something vast and chitinous stirs beneath the tunnel floor — too many legs, too many claws, and a maw that opens wide enough to swallow a halfling whole.

• ✔ Supplied unpainted and ready to prime
• ✔ Compatible with D&D, Pathfinder, and all tabletop RPGs

The Primal Centipede is a creature that belongs in the darkest, most claustrophobic corners of your campaign world. Its segmented body is covered in overlapping chitinous plates, each one sculpted with tight, precise detail that catches dry-brushed highlights beautifully. A dense mane of fibrous tendrils fans out around its head, framing a grotesque face bristling with curved mandibles, compound eyes, and articulated antennae that curl back over its thorax. Every one of its many hooked legs ends in a wicked, sickle-shaped claw — the sort that rakes through dungeon stone as easily as soft earth.

This is a large creature on a 51mm oval base, and it carries that footprint convincingly. The pose is low and predatory, body angled forward as though mid-lunge, which makes it an engaging centrepiece for any encounter tile. Whether you're running it as a giant centipede encounter scaled up with dramatic licence, a Kruthik-adjacent monstrosity, or something far nastier of your own devising, this sculpt has the visual weight to demand attention at the table.

Unpainted grey resin straight from our studio, it takes primer and paint exceptionally well — chitin plates are an absolute joy to work with contrast paints or a layered wash approach, and the mane of tendrils gives brilliant texture for drybrushing.

A fine choice for adventurers who:

• Need a large-base beast encounter that feels genuinely threatening
• Are running Underdark, swamp, or dungeon crawl campaigns
• Want a centrepiece creature that doubles as a display painting project
• Are building out a collection of primal, prehistoric, or insectoid monsters
• Love sculpts with rich surface texture and satisfying detail to paint

Encounter Hook: The party has tracked a missing merchant caravan to a collapsed section of road on the edge of the Greywood Fen. Beneath the shattered flagstones, a tunnel network stretches into darkness — and the caravan's fate becomes horribly clear when they hear the sound of something large eating in the dark, followed by the scrape of dozens of claws turning slowly in their direction.
