Dominate the frozen wilds with this imposing Elite Unit Bear Rider. Featuring a hulking barbarian warrior clad in trophy skulls and wielding a massive bone scythe, this miniature captures the raw, savage power of a tribal chieftain mounted upon a ferocious dire bear. The highly detailed fur texture and dynamic charging pose make this a standout centerpiece for any tabletop encounter.
A tribal champion patrols the outskirts of his territory on a massive bear, his bone scythe ready to claim intruders.
This miniature is best suited as a savage mid-boss, a tribal chieftain, or an elite heavy cavalry unit in a primal or 'barbarian' themed campaign.
