Dwarf Piper Miniature Fantasy Bard Bagpipes NPC
About this miniature
Made from high-quality resin. There’s no peace and quiet when the Dwarf Piper Miniature by Vae Victus from We Print Miniatures takes the stage. With his bagpipes in hand and a tune that’s more screech than melody, this boisterous character is sure to make an unforgettable impression - whether rallying troops or sending rivals running for cover!
Rich with detail from the intricate bagpipes to the stout, determined stance, this sculpt is a joy for painters who love characterful faces and strong silhouette reads on the tabletop. The image shows a burly, long-bearded dwarf gripping a full set of pipes, with prominent drone pipes rising over his shoulder, rugged clothing, and bracer-style arm protection—ideal for a battlefield musician, tavern performer, or loudmouthed clan retainer. Painters will enjoy capturing every feature while staying true to Vae Victus’s original design, from the textured hair and beard to the crisp edges on the instrument and gear.
Perfect for enhancing Dungeons & Dragons sessions or other fantasy tabletop games, the Dwarf Piper adds a touch of humour, chaos, and charm to your adventures. Use him as a bard, a marching war-piper, a town NPC, or a rallying standard substitute in skirmish campaigns. This resin miniature (and our wider range of resin miniatures) is a must-have for collectors who want memorable roleplay moments and a character model that instantly tells a story.

How we size our miniatures
We measure every mini from foot to eyeline, assuming a 6 ft male, so the millimetre is the eyeline, not the top of the helmet. Females, monsters, and smaller folk scale up or down so they don't look silly standing next to a standard human.
The standard for games like D&D and many roleplay games as well as older versions of Grimdark Battlefields.
Many games use this size as it provides more detail for painting and to fit with modern game systems like Grimdark Wargames and skirmish games. Also used for 28mm Monsters to give them even more threat.
When you need a bit more threat a 35mm mini in a 32 or 28mm game can add real weight to an encounter. Great for painting to maximise detail for the tabletop
Built for shelf display, busts and showcase paint jobs. Maximum surface area for blending, framing and competition-grade detail.

Questions we get asked
A LOT
We dispatch orders five days a week. Everything is printed to order, so bigger orders take longer to print and pass quality checks. Our average dispatch time is 4 days, and very large orders can take up to 20 days. You can contact us at any time to check on your order. If a UK order is taking longer than usual, we can usually send part of it first: just ask!
No! All our miniatures are dispatched washed and cured, so they arrive as a clean base to prime and paint. No waiting, just miniatures ready to use.
Most orders are dispatched within 4 days. Royal Mail usually delivers in 2 to 3 days in the UK and 7 to 16 days to the rest of the world. Busy periods and Christmas can add a few days.
Our miniatures are made from light-reactive resin. It's all very cutting-edge science (or witchcraft, we aren't too sure).
Our resin is designed to flex rather than snap, which helps prevent breakages in the post. Now and then a thin part like a sword, staff or gun barrel arrives slightly bent. This is normal and easy to fix.
Warm water: dip the bent part in water at 40 to 50°C for 10 seconds, then hang the miniature upside down with the part pointing at the floor so gravity straightens it. Let it cool fully before you turn it upright. Still bent? Dip it again for 20 seconds; thicker parts take a little longer.
Never use a radiator, microwave or oven. If you're unsure, just get in touch and we'll be happy to help.

If something arrives damaged, faulty or wrong, we'll replace or refund it at no cost to you. If you've changed your mind or ordered the wrong size, we may ask you to send it back at your cost first. Full details are in our Refund Policy.
A slight sheen on some areas is completely normal for cured resin and does not affect the model. It can show where supports were removed or where the surface cured a little differently during printing.
If you'd like a uniform finish, a quick scuff with fine sandpaper followed by your usual primer gives an even, matt surface ready to paint.
