This sculpt depicts a powerfully built lion mid-stride, its body bristling with layered, feather-like fur that catches every dry-brushed highlight beautifully. A detailed war-saddle sits across its back — quilted and panelled, secured with straps and fitted with raised side-guards — suggesting a rider of considerable status. The fur texture is extraordinary throughout: the thick mane fans outward in dense, overlapping blades of hair, whilst the body and legs carry a wilder, almost elemental quality to the coat. The tail curls dramatically away from the body, its end splaying into branch-like tufts that hint at something beyond a natural beast.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSitting on a large 51mm oval base, this miniature carries genuine visual weight. The pose is alert and purposeful — shoulders forward, head level, every muscle suggesting coiled readiness. Whether you're fielding it as a mount for a warlord NPC, a summoned companion, or the prized beast of a Leonin cavalry unit, it reads immediately as something that does not lose fights.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is equally rewarding as a painting project for display collectors. The layered fur offers rich opportunities for zenithal priming and layered glazes, whilst the saddle provides a natural colour contrast — leather tones against a painted coat, or something wilder if your campaign calls for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdventurers building out a mounted warlord encounter with a beast that genuinely unsettles the players\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDMs who need a large creature that reads as both civilised (saddled) and savage (the fur, the tail, the sheer presence)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePainters looking for a large beast with exceptional surface texture to showcase their blending and layering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCollectors who want a centrepiece miniature that earns its spot on the shelf\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEncounter Hook:\u003c\/strong\u003e The party is three days out from the city when scouts report a raider column moving along the valley road. As they take position on the ridge to observe, the column's vanguard crests the hill — and riding at its head is not a horse but a great lion in battle-harness, its fur raised along its spine, scanning the treeline with amber eyes. Whatever this warlord is, they do not travel light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eScale: 32mm | Base: Large oval (51mm) | Supplied unpainted and unassembled where applicable | Supported and unsupported variants available\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSculpted by \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/epic-miniatures\"\u003eEpic Miniatures\u003c\/a\u003e — visit their collection to see more of their work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePairs well with \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/beasts\"\u003ebeast companions and mounts\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/grassland-plains\"\u003egrassland and plains encounters\u003c\/a\u003e — or explore more from \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/epic-miniatures\"\u003eEpic Miniatures\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMitz \u0026amp; Simz — where the cats roll Insight on every order and always, always know something you don't.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReady to add this adventurer to your collection?
