The sculpt depicts the guard in a wide, grounded stance, both clawed hands gripping a long ornate polearm held diagonally across the body in a ready position. The weapon is beautifully detailed, with a forked, blade-tipped head that suggests both utility and ceremony.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe armour is layered and segmented — overlapping plates across the chest, pauldrons on the shoulders, and articulated leg guards that speak to a culture with real craft and military tradition. The face carries a sneer of defiance, ears flattened, one eye clouded, giving the impression of a veteran who has survived more than a few skirmishes. The tail curls behind for balance, and the clawed feet are splayed wide — this miniature is built for confrontation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe sculpt is a digital render shown in an unpainted warm terracotta tone with a scale reference d20, illustrating medium creature size. The level of surface detail — from the riveted plates to the fur texture beneath the armour — makes this a rewarding miniature to paint.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuits adventurers who are:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilding out a ratfolk warren, thieves' guild, or Underdark faction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRunning Skaven-adjacent or humanoid vermin encounters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLooking for a distinctive NPC guard, patrol captain, or minor boss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePainting detailed anthropomorphic creature minis with armour and weapons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreating a display piece that stands out from the typical dungeon mob\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEncounter Hook:\u003c\/strong\u003e The party descends into the old smugglers' tunnels beneath Dockside Ward — but what they find is not an abandoned passage.
