Miniatures can add a touch of unpredictability to any game, and the Ratfolk Street Slasher Miniature by Cast n Play from We Print Miniatures delivers exactly that. Carrying what appears to be a cat basket, this curious yet dangerous figure blends quirky detail with a clear sense of menace. His jagged dagger is held with the assurance of someone who has seen their share of back-alley fights, while his hunched stance and clawed feet give him a gritty, streetwise look. Every aspect of the sculpt suggests a life spent darting through shadows, navigating crumbling cityscapes and slipping into the hidden corners of the world.
Perfect for Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder and other fantasy tabletop games, the Ratfolk Street Slasher works well as a rogue operative, a stealthy saboteur or a troublemaker whose motives remain unclear. He could be on a dangerous mission, carrying something valuable in that mysterious basket, or simply prowling for his next target. Dungeon Masters can use him to add intrigue to urban encounters, while players might enjoy portraying a character whose odd habits hide sharp instincts.
For painters, this miniature offers an engaging mix of textures and story elements. The basket itself invites creativity, from weaving patterns to unexpected contents, while the ratfolk’s fur can be painted in realistic tones or given a more fantastical colour scheme. His clothing and gear, worn from a life on the move, provide ample opportunity for weathering effects, highlighting and shading. The jagged dagger can be rendered in clean steel for a professional look or in tarnished metal for a more vicious, street-forged feel.
Available in 28mm, 32mm, 35mm, 55mm and 75mm scales, the Ratfolk Street Slasher is a versatile choice for both gameplay and display. His unusual combination of charm and danger makes him a memorable figure that can be placed in tavern corners, sewer skirmishes or bustling market scenes with equal ease.
With his mix of mischievous personality, unpredictable motives and gritty presence, the Ratfolk Street Slasher Miniature adds depth and colour to any campaign. Whether as an NPC with a strange errand or a player character full of surprises, he brings an irresistible blend of storytelling potential and tabletop impact.
