He has outlasted three kings, buried two rivals, and the feathered hat has never once left his head — Tyrant Bartholomew does not ask for power; he simply waits for everyone else to run out of it. ✔ Large-scale display bust — significantly bigger than standard 32mm ✔ Resin printed fresh to order in the UK ✔ Supplied unpainted — ideal as a centrepiece painting project ✔ Designed for display shelves and painting competitions This commanding bust captures a figure of unmistakable authority — a broad-brimmed hat adorned with elaborate featherwork, a ruffled Elizabethan cravat, and the kind of weathered, sharp-eyed expression that belongs to a man who has signed a hundred death warrants without blinking. The sculpt rewards close attention: the leather texture of his hat brim, the layered folds of his collar, the set of his jaw beneath a neatly trimmed beard. This is a character who has a name, a history, and very probably a dungeon beneath his manor house.As a display bust, Tyrant Bartholomew is sculpted to showcase expression and surface detail at their finest — a canvas for advanced painters and an eye-catching centrepiece for any collection. He sits on an ornate geometric plinth that elevates the piece further, making it as much a shelf statement as a painting project. Dungeon Masters will also find him useful as a visual reference for a powerful patron, scheming noble, or campaign villain whose face players will not easily forget.Perfect for adventurers who: Want a detailed, characterful bust to showcase their painting skills Are building a display collection of fantasy villains and NPCs Need a striking visual reference for a recurring campaign antagonist or noble patron Enjoy large-scale sculpts with exceptional facial expression and surface texture Encounter Hook:The party has been summoned to the estate of Bartholomew Valdris, Lord-Tyrant of the Ashfen Reaches — ostensibly to receive a reward. The bust on the mantelpiece watches them with the same cold expression as the man himself, who sits behind his desk and explains, with great courtesy, that they will be undertaking one more task before any coin changes hands. Refusal, he notes, would be most unfortunate.Details This is a display bust, scaled for painters and collectors rather than standard 32mm tabletop play. It arrives on its decorative plinth base, ready for priming and painting. Supports are removed before dispatch; as with all resin pieces, minor surface marks are possible and can be addressed with light sanding before painting.Sculpted by The Witchguild — visit their page to see more of their work.Two cats who have never once rolled below a 15 on Intimidation, and the humans who work for them.Pairs well with NPC characters — explore more from The Witchguild.
