Miniatures can bring as much personality as power to the tabletop, and the Lute Breaker Bard Miniature by Cast n Play from We Print Miniatures delivers both in spectacular fashion. Channeling the wild energy of rebellious rock icons from the last half-century, this bard is frozen mid-swing, smashing his wooden lute in an unforgettable display of musical defiance. His stance radiates unrestrained emotion, whether born from frustration at a poor performance, an act of rebellion against authority, or the pure thrill of living by his own rules. This is not the bard who gently strums songs of love — this is the one who ends a performance with splinters flying and the crowd roaring.
Perfect for Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder, and other fantasy tabletop games, the Lute Breaker Bard is ideal for players who enjoy characters with flair, unpredictability, and a knack for turning any situation into a show. In the right hands, he could be a beloved party member whose antics keep spirits high, or a chaotic neutral force who causes as much trouble as he solves. Dungeon Masters could also use him as a colourful NPC whose gigs are as dangerous as any dungeon crawl.
For painters, this miniature offers a wealth of expressive detail. The lute’s cracking wood can be highlighted with fine brushwork to emphasise the moment of impact, while the bard’s clothing invites bold colour choices to match his loud personality. Rich fabrics, patched travel gear, or flamboyant performance outfits all work equally well. His face, caught in a moment of raw intensity, is perfect for adding depth through shading and highlights, bringing the emotion of the scene to life.
Available in 28mm, 32mm, 35mm, 55mm and 75mm scales, the Lute Breaker Bard fits seamlessly into a variety of collections, from campaign-ready character rosters to display shelves celebrating unique and dynamic sculpts. His distinctive theme and striking pose ensure he will always stand out on the tabletop.
Whether you see him as a misunderstood artist, a battle-bard who uses his music as a weapon, or simply a troublemaker with a flair for the dramatic, the Lute Breaker Bard Miniature is ready to add drama, laughter, and unforgettable moments to your next fantasy adventure. Some bards charm their audience, this one smashes his way into legend.
