Dominating the tabletop with its massive presence, the Leonid Warbeast is a terrifying fusion of feline agility and bovine strength. This 'Huge' scale miniature features intricate circular-etched armor plates and a menacing, snarling pose that makes it the perfect centerpiece for any monstrous army or high-stakes boss encounter.
A heavily armored war-beast prowls forward, snarling at a nearby threat as it prepares to charge or be steered by its rider.
This serves as an elite mount for a high-level villain or a formidable mid-to-late game boss encounter for a party of adventurers.
