{"product_id":"iron-lord-on-a-mastodon","title":"Iron Lord on a Mastodon","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis WarpLand miniature puts the brutal authority of the Iron Lords directly in your hands. The Iron Lord on a Mastodon is a large resin model depicting one of the feared warlords of The Grunge astride a hulking, armoured mastodon, a creature as scarred and relentless as the slavers who ride them. Standing 31mm from feet to eyes, this imposing figure arrives in four separate parts for clean assembly and easy painting access.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Iron Lords are the fire and iron fist of The Grunge, a festering bogland where might is law and mercy is weakness. Clad in layered plate armour, horned helm lowered and sword drawn, this lord surveys the road ahead with the cold certainty of a man who has never lost a slave that he truly wanted to keep. His mastodon wears its own brutal barding, muzzle strapped tight, eyes red with a life spent in perpetual servitude to violence. Skulls rot on the scenic base beneath them, a quiet reminder of what happens to those who resist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe kit comes in four resin parts: the rider, the removable helmeted head, the mastodon body, and the detailed scenic base littered with skulls and crumbling terrain. The design allows painters to work each component separately before final assembly, making it ideal for achieving clean results on the interior details of the armour and saddle strapping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with the WarpLand tabletop RPG by Gavriel Quiroga, this figure is equally at home leading a warband on the tabletop, serving as a centrepiece display piece, or terrorising a party of adventurers foolish enough to take the road through The Grunge without paying the toll.

On the base, drybrush the skulls in bone white over a brown undercoat, and add a dark green-black wash to the pooled areas around the scenic terrain to evoke the stagnant bogs of The Grunge. This WarpLand miniature deserves a base as threatening as the rider himself.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Artifex Fabricatum","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57671168000332,"sku":"WARPLANDMASTODON","price":18.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0845\/9259\/1180\/files\/720X720-single_model_3_887fefcf-9e11-4096-884e-2a3763691cb1.jpg?v=1780152281","url":"https:\/\/artifexfabricatum.co.uk\/products\/iron-lord-on-a-mastodon","provider":"Artifex Fabricatum","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
