We don't know miniatures from nightmares until we've seen the Scarecrow Miniature by Vae Victis from We Print Miniatures, a chilling figure pulled straight from the heart of a waking dream. Draped in tattered robes and topped with a crooked hat, this uncanny creature is equal parts trickster, monster and mystery. Its stitched grin stretches far too wide, and its posture, twisted and off-kilter, suggests that something is very wrong beneath the surface. Whether it is a cursed construct, a shapeshifting horror or a tormented soul bound to the earth, this fantasy miniature invites endless speculation and storytelling.
The Scarecrow is perfect for Dungeons & Dragons and other fantasy tabletop games that delve into the eerie, the arcane or the outright terrifying. It fits seamlessly into haunted farmsteads, cursed woodlands or forgotten borderlands where the locals whisper warnings but no one dares speak the full truth. As an enemy, it offers both physical threat and psychological tension. As a character, it could represent a warlock’s familiar, a cursed druid or a rogue who has taken disguise to an unnatural level.
Painters will find the Scarecrow a rewarding miniature to work on, with its layers of worn cloth, mismatched textures and eerie facial expression offering great scope for atmospheric effects. Dry brushing, weathering and subtle use of glow or grime can help bring out the disturbing charm of the figure. Whether painted in earthy tones to blend into fields or vibrant, unnatural colours for a more magical feel, it remains a centrepiece of mystery.
Available in 28mm, 32mm, 35mm, 55mm and 75mm scales, this miniature is well suited to both tabletop play and display. Its dynamic pose and unsettling silhouette make it immediately recognisable on the board, while the fine detail in its clothing and stance reflects Vae Victis’ commitment to expressive design. The figure works equally well as a one-off horror encounter or as a recurring character tied to deeper campaign lore.
Add the Scarecrow Miniature to your fantasy collection and bring a new flavour of fear to your game. Whether it stands silently in a moonlit field or springs to life with sudden violence, it offers an unforgettable addition to any scene, rich with story and suspense.
