Serpentfolk Warrior 04 by Novaminis

The temple guardians moved in silence — until the torchlight caught the gleam of their curved blades and the party realised the walls themselves had been watching.

This is pose 04 of our Serpentfolk Warrior range, sculpted by Novaminis. Where some of the other poses stand in ready stances, this warrior is caught in the full momentum of combat — torso twisting, sword arm raised high, serrated blade angled for a devastating overhead strike. The coiled serpentine lower body provides a dynamic counterbalance, tail sweeping out behind to anchor the pose with a sense of real weight and movement. A large, boss-studded round shield is strapped to the offhand, its surface covered in intricate knotwork reliefs that mirror the elaborate scale-pattern armour adorning the warrior's chest and arms. The head is pulled back with fangs bared — every detail of that reptilian snarl captured in the sculpt's sharp facial work.

The level of surface detail across this miniature is genuinely impressive: layered scale textures shift from fine overlapping belly scales on the lower body to raised, almost baroque armour plating across the torso, with cord-wrapped bracers, riveted belt fittings, and a horned helmet crest completing the martial silhouette. This is a warrior who belongs to an ancient, disciplined civilisation — not a feral beast, but a soldier.

Whether you're running a yuan-ti temple complex, a serpentine cult, or simply want a formidable non-humanoid fighter for your encounter table, this sculpt carries genuine menace and visual weight. Equally at home on a painted display shelf as it is on the battlemat.

A good fit for adventurers who:

• Need a visually distinctive front-line fighter for a yuan-ti or serpentfolk encounter
• Are building a snake cult temple encounter or Underdark expedition
• Want a dynamic, action-posed monster mini for boss fight moments
• Enjoy detailed paint projects with varied textures — scales, metal, leather, and stonework all in one sculpt
• Collect display pieces from independent fantasy sculptors

Encounter Hook:
The party has been tracking the stolen idol for three days when they enter the inner sanctum — and find it already occupied. A serpentfolk warrior coils between them and the altar, shield raised, blade catching the candlelight. It does not hiss. It simply waits, with the calm certainty of something that has defended this place for centuries.

Scaled to 32mm. Available with or without a plain black base — the base ships unattached and can be fixed with a small amount of glue. Some minor imperfections from the print process are possible; any residual marks are easily tidied up before priming. Ready to prime and paint straight out of the box.
