Vanguard Crossbow 02 by Galaad Miniatures

Behind that riveted visor and face-wrap, no one knows whether this vanguard soldier is a loyal city watchman, a mercenary enforcer, or something far more dangerous — and they intend to keep it that way.

This is pose 02 of the Vanguard Crossbow range from Galaad Miniatures. The figure stands in a commanding stance — one arm extended with a pointing gesture, the other holding a mechanical crossbow at their side — as though calling out a target to unseen allies. The armour is layered and functional: riveted pauldrons, articulated knee guards, a heavy coat over plated legs, and a close-fitted helm with a full face-wrap that conceals any identifying features. A bolted backpack sits across the shoulders, and a quiver of bolts rides at the hip. This is a soldier who travels prepared and operates with quiet authority.

The sculpt carries a distinctly urban-military character — equally at home as a city gate guard, a guild enforcer, or a veteran fighter-class player character who has seen too many campaigns to bother with pageantry. The detail across the armour layers, straps, and mechanical crossbow frame rewards careful painting and holds washes particularly well.

Perfect for adventurers who:

• Want a fighter or ranger PC with a grounded, soldierly aesthetic
• Need a credible city watch officer, bounty hunter, or faction enforcer as an NPC
• Are building a mercenary company or military patrol encounter
• Enjoy painting armour with layered textures and intricate equipment details
• Collect Galaad Miniatures' Vanguard range across multiple poses

Encounter Hook:
The party has just slipped through the city's east gate when a single crossbow bolt buries itself in the cobblestones at their feet. Twenty paces ahead, a masked vanguard soldier — one arm raised, pointing directly at the party's rogue — calls out in a flat, measured voice: "The Merchant's Guild requests a word. You won't need your weapons."

Details

Supplied at 32mm scale. The figure and decorative base are separate pieces, designed to be attached with cyanoacrylate adhesive. The base is sculpted to complement the model and the two are designed to work together, so we recommend displaying them as a set. Suitable for gaming and display collecting alike. Arrives unprimed and unpainted, ready for your brush.
