Miniatures bring eerie elegance to the tabletop, and the Undead Bride Miniature by Vae Victis, available from We Print Miniatures, is a hauntingly beautiful figure that captures both tragedy and mystery in equal measure. With her regal yet decayed appearance, this spectral bride tells a story before the game has even begun. Draped in a once-glorious gown and marked by the slow hand of time, she drifts between the realms of memory and oblivion, clutching onto fragments of a life long lost.
Her gown, though tattered, still hints at noble origins. Embellishments hang from faded lace, and delicate folds suggest a time when love and celebration were close at hand. Now, however, she wanders the forgotten paths of graveyards and ruined halls, perhaps in search of a missing groom, a stolen heirloom or the truth about her own untimely fate. With every step, she radiates a quiet sorrow that lends a unique emotional depth to the tabletop. This figure is ideal for those looking to add a touch of gothic melancholy to their fantasy campaigns.
Perfect for Dungeons & Dragons and other fantasy tabletop games, the Undead Bride Miniature can serve a variety of roles depending on your narrative. She may be a tragic NPC, a cursed noblewoman doomed to wander haunted estates, or a vengeful spirit seeking justice. For darker adventures, she could be the remnant of a powerful bloodline, her essence bound to a cursed artefact or ancestral estate. Whether an enemy, ally or mystery waiting to unfold, her presence immediately changes the tone of any encounter, inviting curiosity, caution and intrigue.
For painters, this miniature offers a rewarding challenge. Her flowing gown presents a perfect canvas for exploring subtle transitions in fabric and ageing effects. Artists can choose from a palette of ethereal whites, cool greys and translucent blues to create a spectral effect, or lean into decayed elegance with rich burgundies, weathered silks and gold embroidery now dulled by dust and time. Her facial features are both delicate and unnerving, offering room for expressive detail, from sunken eyes to ghostly highlights that catch the light just right.
This fantasy miniature is available in four different scales: 28mm, 32mm, 35mm and 55mm. The 28mm and 32mm sizes are ideal for integrating into most fantasy tabletop games, offering consistency with party members and NPCs. The 35mm version gives added prominence, making her a standout character on the board, while the 55mm scale transforms her into a display-worthy piece for collectors and painters who enjoy larger projects. Regardless of the size you select, the sculpt maintains its intricate detail and emotional impact.
Faithful to the original design by Vae Victis, this miniature remains unaltered, preserving the haunting grace and artistic vision of the creator. For collectors, this means an authentic piece that reflects the gothic storytelling potential at the heart of many beloved fantasy worlds.
Whether encountered in a moonlit ruin, summoned in a ritual gone awry or discovered in a tale of love, loss and revenge, the Undead Bride Miniature adds atmosphere, emotion and spectral charm to your next campaign. She is not just a miniature, she is a story, waiting for a player to bring it to life.
