Tiefling Villager Gravekeeper by Epic Miniatures

He's been tending the graves of this town longer than anyone cares to remember — and some nights, the lantern he carries is the only thing standing between the living and what stirs beneath the soil.

• ✔ 32mm scale resin miniature, printed fresh to order in the UK
• ✔ Supplied unpainted and ready to prime
• ✔ Compatible with D&D, Pathfinder, and all tabletop RPGs
• ✔ Equally at home on the gaming table or the display shelf

This gravekeeper is one of those NPCs who does far more work than anyone in town gives him credit for. Mid-stride and clearly in a hurry, he carries a spade tucked under one arm and swings a caged lantern ahead of him — the posture of someone who has somewhere to be and knows the dark won't wait. His layered ruff collar, rope-belted tunic, and the small curved horns rising from beneath his wide-brimmed hat mark him out as a tiefling: part of the community, but always on its edges.

The sculpt from Epic Miniatures captures a wonderful sense of purposeful motion. The coils of rope at his belt, the careful detail on the lantern's cage, and the weathered cut of his clothing all speak to a character who is practical rather than decorative. Paint him in muted earthy tones with a warm glow on the lantern glass and you've got an NPC that will genuinely anchor a graveyard scene.

Whether he's a recurring face in your city campaign — the reluctant informant who knows exactly where the bodies are buried — or a one-session encounter at the cemetery gates, this miniature brings real texture to urban and Gothic settings. He works equally well as a display piece for adventurers who enjoy painting characterful, story-rich sculpts.

This miniature would suit adventurers who:

• Need grounded, characterful NPCs for city or graveyard encounters
• Run Gothic horror campaigns with a Ravenloft or Shadowfell flavour
• Enjoy painting humanoid character sculpts with strong narrative presence
• Want a tiefling model that reads as a commoner rather than a combatant
• Are building out a cemetery or urban scatter scene with supporting figures

Encounter Hook

The party arrives at the Ashfield Cemetery just after midnight, searching for a tomb that supposedly holds a stolen heirloom. They find the gates already open — and a tiefling gravekeeper crouched over a freshly disturbed grave, lantern in one hand, spade in the other, muttering to himself. He insists he's just doing his job. The grave he's standing over isn't on any official record.
