Rat Butcher by Epic Miniatures

Description
In the warrens beneath the city, the Rat Butcher is both executioner and quartermaster — dual cleavers gleaming, armour lashed tight, and eyes that have seen the worst the underbelly has to offer.

This ratfolk brawler cuts an imposing silhouette — a powerfully built wererat-adjacent humanoid standing in a wide, aggressive stance, dual cleavers raised and ready to strike. The sculpt captures mid-action energy with the figure leaning into a sweeping attack pose, one cleaver high overhead and the other held low at the flank. Layered leather strapping criss-crosses the chest, buckles and pouches detail the belt, and sturdy bracers wrap each forearm. The head is expressive — mouth open in a snarl or battle cry, ears flattened back — lending the character genuine menace rather than comic villainy.
The feet end in sharp, splayed claws, and the overall anatomy sits convincingly between humanoid fighter and feral beast — broad-shouldered and hunched forward, the kind of figure that fills a doorway and makes the party reconsider its approach. Whether you place this on the table as a guild enforcer, a sewer-gang lieutenant, or a player character Ratfolk Barbarian cutting loose, the sculpt reads clearly at gaming distance while rewarding close inspection with its surface detail.
As a painting project, the Rat Butcher offers excellent variety: textured skin, multiple layers of worn leather, metal cleaver blades, and fur detailing across the forearms and lower legs all respond beautifully to drybrushing and layered washes.
This miniature works especially well for adventurers who:
- Run urban crime campaigns with thieves' guilds, ratfolk factions, or sewer-dwelling gangs
- Need a distinctive Wererat or ratfolk warrior as a recurring villain or lieutenant NPC
- Play a Ratfolk, Mousefolk, or beast-race Barbarian or Fighter character
- Want a characterful melee brawler that doubles as a display piece
Encounter Hook: The party follows a trail of stolen shipment manifests to a flooded cellar district, where the Rat Butcher holds court over a crew of desperate scavengers. He doesn't want a fight — he wants a deal. But the cleavers never leave his hands, and the smile never quite reaches his eyes.
