{"product_id":"the-maw-beyond-monster-1","title":"The Maw Beyond - Monster","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom the depths of the Forgotten Champions range comes The Maw Beyond, a nightmarish entity that defies the boundaries of sanity and flesh. Sculpted by the talented Haito, this single-model kit erupts from its rocky base in a writhing mass of sucker-lined tentacles, hollow maws, and grotesque eyes that stare into eternity. Every inch of this piece pulses with eldritch menace, making it a centrepiece worthy of any tabletop warband or display collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe sculpt captures a creature that has torn through the veil between worlds, its body a chaotic fusion of cephalopod horror and primordial nightmare. Multiple tentacles coil and lash outward, each covered in deeply recessed suckers that beg for a careful wash to bring out the texture. The central mass is riddled with toothy maws and lidded eyes, giving painters countless focal points to explore. This is a model that rewards time and ambition at the brush.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStanding tall on an integrated cracked-stone base, The Maw Beyond is an imposing presence on the tabletop. The base measures approximately 60mm in diameter, placing this beast firmly in large-monster territory. Whether used as a boss encounter, a summoned horror, or a faction mascot, this Forgotten Champions release delivers maximum visual impact for competitive and narrative play alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSupplied as a high-detail resin miniature requiring assembly and painting. Designed for use with 28mm to 32mm scale tabletop miniature games. Sculpted by Haito.
