This dynamic Skeleton Warrior is captured in a desperate lunge, thrusting its spear forward while sheltering behind a battered shield. Featuring unique details like three arrows protruding from its spine and tattered funerary robes, this miniature perfectly captures the relentless nature of the walking dead.
A skeletal warrior charging headlong into battle, ignoring the arrows already lodged in its back and shield.
A common but motivated rank-and-file undead soldier, likely encountered in a group guarding a crypt or serving as the vanguard of a necromantic army.
