This elite Skeleton Warrior is a menacing addition to any undead legion, featuring a dynamic pose with an open screaming jaw and a massive, battle-notched greatsword. Detailed with partial plate armor and a tattered cloak with a stowed round shield, this miniature perfectly captures the grim aesthetic of a seasoned tomb guardian.
A reanimated warrior let out a silent, bone-chilling roar as it prepares to sweep its massive, notched blade through the air.
An elite lieutenant for a low-level necromancer or a formidable guardian for a mid-tier dungeon's burial chamber.
