{"product_id":"vaessa-iron-verdict-human-paladin","title":"Vaessa Iron Verdict - Human Paladin","description":"\u003cp\u003eForgotten Champions rise from the ash and ruin of shattered kingdoms, and Vaessa Iron Verdict stands at the vanguard of their cause. A mercenary paladin forged in conflict, she wields her ornate warhammer with the fury of divine conviction and the cold pragmatism of a soldier who has seen too many wars end badly. She answers to coin and conscience in equal measure, and her loyalty is absolute once earned.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis resin miniature by sculptor Haito captures Vaessa mid-stride across crumbling stone steps, one arm outstretched and hammer swinging low in a devastating arc. Her armour fuses ceremonial plate with field-worn leather, etched with devotional patterns that hint at forgotten oaths. The sculpt rewards careful painters with layered textures across chainmail, engraved metal, flowing hair and a richly detailed cloak reverse.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVaessa Iron Verdict is sold as a single model on a scenic stepped stone base. Designed at tabletop scale, she fits seamlessly into skirmish games, narrative campaigns or display collections. Faction-neutral and mercenary in spirit, she slots into any warband that needs a warrior of iron faith and harder knuckles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSupplied as a high-detail resin kit requiring assembly, cleaning and priming.
