Featuring a massive spiked mace, a reinforced buckler shield, and savage fur-textured detailing, this miniature captures the feral intensity of a gnoll war-leader in a dynamic, defensive stance.
A gnoll warrior braces itself behind its shield, snarling a challenge before swinging its massive spiked mace.
