The Pathfinder Series Graveknight<\/a> from the Reaper Bones II Kickstarter<\/a>\u00a0is a classic BBEG miniature, in my opinion. There’s something almost silly about the sculpt which, in my opinion, makes it all the more unnerving.

I’ll leave the mind control to the Aboleth…but I’m curious to see the reactions to a miniature that visually cues “careful, I might destroy your precious items”.<\/span><\/p>\n
