This stunningly detailed miniature depicts a suit of living plate mail adorned with intricate acanthus-leaf filigree and menacing defensive spikes. Poised in a slow, relentless advance, this hollow guardian is the perfect encounter for any dungeon crawl or magical sanctum.
A suit of enchanted armor clanks slowly forward to fulfill its eternal duty as a guardian.
A classic dungeon sentinel, a magical guardian of a wizard's study, or a haunted relic in a cursed castle.
