Command the underworld with the Helhest, the legendary three-legged plague horse of Norse myth. This Huge-scale miniature features an intricate skeletal sculpt with powerful feathered wings and a singular front leg, making it a uniquely terrifying addition to any tabletop encounter or necromantic army.
A spectral or undead steed stands silently, waiting for its dark master to return and mount.
Acts as a terrifying mid-to-high level boss mount, a guardian of a cursed gateway, or a literal harbinger of pestilence in a grimdark campaign.
