Dominate the battlefield with the Black Earth Guard, a hulking warrior encased in menacing spiked plate armor. Standing over 44mm tall and wielding a devastating kanabo, this miniature is the perfect representation for an ogre champion, a giant-kin hero, or an elite guardian boss. Its aggressive geometric design and imposing silhouette make it a standout centerpiece for any tabletop encounter.
An elite heavy guard standing watch at a forbidden threshold, ready to crush anyone who approaches.
Acts as a heavy-hitting 'tank' or 'juggernaut' encounter. Its high armor and large weapon suggest it can both absorb and deal significant physical damage, likely functioning as a champion of a giant-kin tribe or a high-level mercenary captain.
