Shingorion – Ancient Undead Dragon

Shingorion – Ancient Undead Dragon

Dragon, Undead

This terrifying structural Artifact depicts a massive skeletal dragon perched upon the tiled roof of a crumbling mausoleum, its tattered, leathery wings spread wide as it prepares to descend. The deeply detailed skeletal anatomy, exposed ribs, and long, spiked tail coiling around the architecture create an exceptional vertical presence on the table. Keepers can deploy this miniature to command absolute authority over the battlefield as a campaign-defining boss, a catastrophic planar threat, or a guardian of forbidden catacombs.

Tabletop Lore

A dragon whose fetid remains have boiled beneath the deserts of Sudd Tohst since time immemorial. Shingorion was among the many dragons to perish during the war between Mindoriel and Tharador. His own corpse fell into the ashen sands that would one day become Sudd Tohst, where until now, they have dwelt undisturbed. With Ridan’s rise from the sands, Shingorion has emerged with him, enthralled by the will of the ancient Colossal King, whose own will is bound by Myrothlir.

Highlight

The intricate integration of the dragon coiling tightly around a micro-terrain crypt base allows this miniature to serve as a self-contained narrative centerpiece, giving it an impressive elevation that looms over smaller figures.
