A legend reborn in shadow and flame…

The adventurers stood at the gates of ruin. The air grew colder. Then—he stepped forth. Spiked armour glinting, Nightflame in hand, and eyes that blazed with an infernal hunger.

Warduke.

An icon of dark fantasy and old-school menace, this figure is the ultimate centrepiece for your tabletop—whether as a terrifying boss, a cursed antihero, or the black-hearted villain of your next campaign arc. Designed for clarity, ease of painting, and maximum presence, Warduke is not just a miniature. He’s a statement.

🎨 Painter’s Notes

Warduke’s sculpt reads cleanly from tabletop distance but rewards close-up detail painting. No wasted micro-detail—only purposeful surfaces and bold contours for:

• Powerful OSL (object source lighting) from Nightflame

• Chiaroscuro shading from the horned helm and cloak

• Customisable freehand zones on the cape and blade

Great for NMM, lava blades, or corrupted magical effects.

😈 Lore Snapshot

The adventurers stood in the shadow of the ancient fortress, a chill running down their spines as Warduke emerged from the darkness. Clad in his spiked armor, his glowing red eyes bore down on them with a malevolent intensity. His massive sword, Nightflame, pulsed with an eerie blue light, as if hungry for the blood of those who dared oppose him. The air crackled with tension as he pointed the blade at the party, a cruel grin stretching across his face.

The wizard raised her staff, muttering incantations, while the rogue slipped into the shadows, daggers drawn. The barbarian let out a roar and charged forward, his axe gleaming in the moonlight. Warduke moved with terrifying speed, meeting the attack with a single, devastating swing. Sparks flew as metal met metal, and the ground trembled beneath the impact. The fighter moved in from the flank, trying to find an opening, but Warduke's movements were precise, a dance of death honed over countless battles.

The cleric called upon divine magic, a shield of light forming around the party. But Warduke's relentless onslaught pushed them back, his strikes growing fiercer with each clash. The party realized they were not just facing a warrior; they were facing a force of unyielding will and malevolence, a true embodiment of chaos and destruction. This would be a fight for their very souls, and Warduke showed no mercy.

🩸 Traits

Unholy Resilience. Warduke’s armour is bound to him by a soul pact. He adds his Charisma modifier to saving throws vs. spells and can’t be disarmed or knocked prone while conscious.

Aura of Dread (30 ft.). Enemies within 30 feet that start their turn in the aura must succeed on a DC 16 Wisdom saving throw or be frightened until the start of their next turn. On a successful save, they are immune to the aura for 24 hours.

Nightflame. Warduke’s greatsword is a sentient, cursed weapon. It deals an additional 2d6 fire damage on hit. If he reduces a creature to 0 HP, Nightflame absorbs the soul, granting Warduke 15 temporary HP and causing the area within 10 ft. to erupt in dim blue flame until the end of his next turn.

---

🔥 Actions

Multiattack. Warduke makes three melee attacks with Nightflame.

Nightflame. Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.
Hit: 17 (2d6 + 5 slashing + 2d6 fire) damage. If the target is frightened, it takes an additional 2d6 necrotic damage.

Unstoppable Onslaught (Recharge 5–6). Warduke surges forward in a blur of violence. He moves up to his speed without provoking opportunity attacks and makes one Nightflame attack against each creature he moves past (max 5).

---

👿 Legendary Actions (3/round)

Shadow Step. Warduke teleports up to 30 ft. to a space he can see in dim light or darkness.
Nightmare Cleave. Warduke makes a single Nightflame attack. If it hits, the target must succeed on a DC 16 Wisdom saving throw or be stunned until the start of their next turn.
Aura Flare (Costs 2 Actions). His eyes ignite and his dread aura pulses. All enemies within the aura must reroll any successful save against fear effects.

🧠 Tactics and Flavour

Warduke is not a talker. He opens with Unstoppable Onslaught to break ranks, then targets frightened opponents or spellcasters. He uses Nightflame’s temporary HP to stay in the fray longer than expected, teleporting out only to reposition for another strike.

If the party tries to flee or cast sanctuary-style protections, he counteracts them with fear, cleaves, and battlefield movement. His kit is designed to break both morale and formation.
