Steward of Frosthold Bust by The Witchguild

When the glaciers crept south and lesser holds fell silent, it was the Steward of Frosthold who kept the forges lit and the gates barred — a dwarf of iron will and a beard braided like the roots of the mountain itself.

• ✔ Large-scale display bust — significantly bigger than standard 32mm
• ✔ Resin printed fresh to order in the UK
• ✔ Supplied unpainted — ideal as a centrepiece painting project
• ✔ Designed for display shelves and painting competitions

This bust from The Witchguild captures a dwarf of formidable presence: a massive braided beard cascading in thick, interwoven ropes, a jagged spiked crown, and a broad rune-etched shield raised at his side. The sculpt rewards close inspection — every strand of beard, every knotwork motif on the decorative plinth, and the layered pauldrons with their savage spike detailing speak to the quality of the original design. Whether you read him as a warrior-king, a stubborn hold-warden, or a fallen ancestor spirit summoned back to defend his kin, there is real narrative weight here.

As a bust rather than a full miniature, this piece is built for the painter's workbench and the display shelf. The scale and depth of detail make it a genuinely engaging painting project — the beard alone offers hours of layering and glazing potential — and the finished piece sits handsomely as a centrepiece or focal point in any collection.

Well suited to adventurers who:

• Paint display pieces and want a characterful, high-detail subject
• Collect fantasy busts representing dwarven culture and lore
• Want visual inspiration for a dwarf patron, ancestor spirit, or campaign antagonist
• Are building a Nordic or mountain-fortress themed shelf display

Encounter Hook:
The party descends into the Hall of Remembrance beneath Frosthold Keep, where stone busts of every past Steward line the walls. One, however, is new — and its eyes are moving. The current Steward has not been seen in three days, and the dwarven council is beginning to ask questions only the party can answer.
