Forged in the fires of the High Citadel and bound by the Leonine Vow, the King’s Guard represents the absolute pinnacle of martial discipline and divine protection. This massive 11-piece Artifact set provides a complete royal court for the tabletop, featuring the ruling lineage and the heavily armored sentinels who hold the line against the encroaching dark.
Highlight
For the Keeper, the King’s Guard Set is a masterclass in narrative presence. The visual cohesion—defined by “spiked” gothic plate, flowing regal capes, and ornate crown-helms—ensures that these units are immediately recognizable as a high-authority faction. Whether they serve as the ultimate allies or the final obstacle in a palace coup, their presence transforms any map into a theater of epic proportions.
Encounter Insight
Utilize this set to represent a “Shield-Wall” tactical challenge. The heavy infantry units feature braced, defensive postures perfect for bottlenecking adventurers in throne room hallways, while the High Caster and Royal Musician provide backline buffs and magical area control. For Keepers seeking a museum-quality finish, our Painted Edition utilizes professional-grade golds and deep royal blues, secured by the Eternal Seal of Army Painter Matte Varnish.

Tabletop Lore
They are the “Golden Wall,” a brotherhood that has not faltered in three centuries. To wear the Lionheart armor is to forfeit one’s name and past, becoming a living extension of the Sovereign’s will. It is whispered that the spikes upon their helms are not for show, but are magical lightning rods designed to catch and ground the spells of would-be assassins. They do not sleep while the King wakes, and they do not retreat while the Citadel stands. To face them is to face the collective history and resolve of a thousand years of royalty.
