Wizard / Mage (Malachi) by Primal Collectibles

He does not carry a spellbook — he does not need one; the old magic lives in his blood, coiling between his fingers like smoke from a dying world.

• ✔ 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

Malachi is a commanding figure drawn from the visual language of Norse myth and high fantasy arcana. Rendered as a large-format display bust, he wears a horned helm etched with Viking craft, a sweeping layered cloak secured with Celtic knotwork medallions, and a broad ornate belt that speaks to a warrior-scholar who has survived more than one age of ruin. His left hand grips a gnarled staff at his side, while his right arm rises with an almost casual authority — fingers splayed wide as spectral flame writhes upward in tight, ghostly coils above his palm. The expression beneath the helm is weathered and cold: a man who has seen the end of things and chosen, deliberately, to be the cause of the next one.

The sculpt is a bust in the grand display tradition — no legs, no battle base, just presence. Every surface rewards the painter's brush: the fabric of the cloak shows individual thread weave across the back, the runic armband on his raised forearm carries genuine engraving depth, and the spectral fire sits as a separate focal point that will take colour washes beautifully. Whether you place him on a shelf as a collector's centrepiece or use him as a landmark prop in your TTRPG sessions — a mysterious elder, a lich in disguise, a god in mortal form — Malachi earns his place.

Perfect for adventurers who:

• Paint display busts and want a sculpt with real textural depth across fabric, metal, and magical effects
• Need a morally ambiguous elder mage, Norse-flavoured archmage, or ancient caster NPC for their campaign
• Collect character busts from independent fantasy artists and want a striking shelf piece
• Are building a Viking-inspired or Norse-themed TTRPG setting

Encounter Hook:
The party has been searching for the Luminous Fragment for three sessions. They find it — or rather, they find the chamber where it was kept. Standing at its centre, spectral flame curling lazily above his open hand, is an old man in a horned helm. He does not look surprised to see them. He says: "I wondered when Veldris would send children." He has not moved. He does not need to.
