This hulking Oni Swordsman towers over the battlefield, wielding a massive katana with deadly precision. Adorned in traditional samurai-inspired lacquered armor and a distinctive shimenawa rope belt, he carries a battle-worn sashimono into the fray, making him a perfect boss or elite adversary for your next campaign.
A monstrous swordsman caught in the split second of drawing his blade to meet a sudden threat.
This miniature serves perfectly as an elite lieutenant in a demonic army, a powerful guardian of a mountain pass, or a high-threat champion in a feudal-themed campaign.
