Bow & Blade Games Release First Miniature, King Urien!
June 22, 2019 by brennon
Bow & Blade Games, run by a community member called @killcrazy has been showing off their first miniature, sculpted by Stavros Zouliatis.
This fellow is King Urien of Rheged, based on a proper historical figure who was later immortalised into Arthurian legend and myth. Within the realm of history, he was known as one of the first post-Roman military leaders near Hadrian's Wall and could well be counted as one of "Three Great Battle-leaders of Britain".
He is, however, probably best known for being the husband to Morgan le Fay. He was eventually killed by her according to some depictions in classical artwork but was also assassinated in real life too by one who was jealous of his power.
The miniature will be on sale July 1st so watch this space. You could very easily drop him into a force of Arthurian soldiers doing battle during this early portion of the Dark Age.
What do you make of him?

Very nice figure and would happily purchase him. Perhaps it is the beard and crown but I thought, “oh, Renly Baratheon”, when I first saw the figure. I would, however, retake the photo of the mounted version from a slightly different angle as it looks like he is on a three legged horse.
Thanks @Robert, I just noticed the 3 legged horse! I’ll take a new image as soon as possible to show it definetely has 4 legs! 😀
Nice figure. I’m presuming it’s 28mm?
Yes 28mm
Thank you Ben
