Skornfang - Monster

A fearsome addition to the Forgotten Champions collection, Skornfang is a towering beast-creature that dominates the battlefield with raw, primal fury. Sculpted by Haito, this single-model miniature stands as a monument to savage power, blending leonine majesty with reptilian menace in every carefully crafted detail.

Skornfang rises on digitigrade legs covered in layered scales, its muscular torso rippling with defined anatomy that rewards careful brushwork. A full mane frames the creature's fearsome lion-like head, while a coiling, scale-armoured tail sweeps low behind it. Razor-edged claws extend from both hands and feet, each one a weapon unto itself. The rear-facing view reveals a heavily armoured back ridge, giving this monster presence from every angle on the tabletop.

Standing approximately 60mm to the top of the mane, Skornfang is mounted on a detailed rocky terrain base with cracked stone and rubble, perfect for wilderness or ruined city environments. Whether fielded as a boss encounter, a summoned horror, or an apex predator in your warband, this Forgotten Champions monster miniature commands attention the moment it hits the table.

Supplied as a single resin miniature. Assembly and painting required. Suitable for 28mm to 32mm scale wargames and skirmish systems.

Bring this Forgotten Champions beast to life with a naturalistic yet menacing palette that emphasises its hybrid anatomy and fearsome presence.
