A chilling addition to any dark fantasy campaign, this Headless Knight is encased in heavy plate armor and wields a formidable broadsword. The miniature features a striking supernatural display of stylized arcane flames erupting from its neck while it brandishes its own grinning, severed head as a macabre trophy.
A headless knight stands guard, calmly presenting a jovial severed head that may be his own or a prized trophy.
This miniature is ideal as a major undead lieutenant, an elite 'Black Guard' champion, or a terrifying pursuit-style monster like a Dullahan or Headless Horseman.
