Malphas, Tetramorph of Victory – The Ascended Ravager

Malphas erupts from the shattered remnants of the Lowtown vaults, a terrifying synthesis of stone, shadow, and primordial hunger. As the Tetramorph of Victory, this Artifact represents the ultimate price of conquest—a celestial apex twisted into a terrestrial nightmare. Its presence is not a challenge, but a prophecy of inevitable collapse.

Highlight

For the Keeper, Malphas provides the ultimate tabletop centerpiece, demanding immediate attention through its immense verticality and hyper-detailed muscularity. This Artifact is designed to dwarf standard miniatures, reinforcing the psychological weight of a truly gargantuan threat during the final stages of a campaign.

Encounter Insight

Deploy Malphas as an “Environment-Breaker.” Its size and kinetic pose suggest a creature that ignores traditional terrain; use it to shatter physical barriers and force Keepers to reconsider their positioning as the very ground collapses beneath its weight. In gameplay, utilize its massive wings to control the vertical space of the board, diving into the party’s center to scatter formations. For a professional finish, we recommend a “Living Stone” paint scheme using deep slate greys and vibrant lava-glow effects in the recessed cracks of the torso.

Features

• Titan of Ruin Pose: Captured in a predatory, forward-leaning stance atop a scenic base of crumbling architectural pillars.
• Vestigial Eye-Wings: Massive, bat-like wings featuring embedded ocular clusters that catch washes and glazes for an unsettling, eldritch finish.
• Chiseled Anatometallics: A torso defined by corded muscle and jagged, stone-like plating that perfectly showcases dry-brushing and weathering techniques.
• Infernal Coronet: A head-sculpt featuring sweeping, multi-tiered horns that denote its status as an apex predator of the abyss.

Ideal For

• Campaign finales and high-level boss encounters.
• Collectors seeking a massive, complex project for advanced painting techniques like OSL.
• Representing Demon Lords, Archdevils, or ancient Earth Primordials.

Tabletop Lore: The Weight of Conquest

In the silent epochs before the founding of Lowtown, victory was not celebrated; it was contained. Malphas is the physical manifestation of every life extinguished in the name of “triumph.” It is said that the Tetramorph is composed of the very earth where the greatest massacres occurred, a living monument of stone and spite that rises whenever a mortal seeks to claim the world for their own.
