Break the mold with the Swolbold, a hulking reptilian powerhouse that trades kobold cunning for raw, overwhelming strength. Armed with a massive greataxe and a spiked tower shield, this 50mm tall miniature makes for a perfect tribal champion or a formidable boss encounter in any tabletop campaign.
A powerful reptilian guardian stands its ground, daring an intruder to approach its territory.
Elite tribal champion, sub-boss in a dragon's lair, or a heavy vanguard unit for a reptilian army.
