Every team needs miniatures that bring practical skill to the forefront, and the Village Blacksmith Miniature by Vae Victis from We Print Miniatures is ready to take on that role with strength and character. This fantasy miniature captures the essence of a hardworking craftsman, the kind who keeps a town running and an adventuring party equipped. With his heavy hammer, well-worn apron and muscular build, the blacksmith stands as a symbol of resilience, expertise and community.
More than just a background figure, the blacksmith adds realism and narrative depth to any fantasy tabletop game. His stance is grounded, his expression focused, and every detail of the sculpt tells of years spent beside the forge. From the layered textures of his clothing to the calloused grip on his tool, this is a miniature full of lived-in detail. Whether he is portrayed as the quiet NPC who mends weapons between quests or the retired warrior now plying his trade in peace, the Village Blacksmith brings weight and story to the scene.
Perfect for Dungeons & Dragons campaigns or any roleplay setting with settlements, towns or crafting elements, this figure fits easily into a variety of roles. He might be a valued contact for the party, able to upgrade their gear or craft custom items. Or perhaps he hides a more adventurous past, ready to pick up a blade again when trouble comes to town. In crafting-focused campaigns or downtime sessions, he serves as a practical and believable addition to the story.
Available in 28mm, 32mm, 35mm, 55mm and 75mm scales, this fantasy miniature offers painters plenty to enjoy. The textures of his apron, gloves and tools provide great surfaces for washes, highlights and subtle weathering techniques. His muscular arms and stern face also allow for careful attention to skin tones and facial shading, helping bring out the personality and realism of the sculpt. Whether painted to match a gritty rural town or a more stylised high-fantasy world, the blacksmith adapts well to a range of settings.
Vae Victis’ sculpting brings authenticity to every element of this figure, grounding it in practicality without losing personality. This is not a background extra, but a meaningful character waiting to be written into your world.
