Battle Mages Set 2: Runic Council Tabletop Minis

Battle Mages Set 2: The Runic Council

Elevate your tabletop with the Battle Mages Set #2. If the first set was for combat in the dunes, this group represents the absolute power of arcane libraries and runic temples. With heavy robes, detailed ornaments, and an imposing presence, they are perfect as zone bosses, high councilors, or high-level mages.

🛡️ Set Features

• Scale: 1/32 Heroic (compatible with 32mm bases).
• Style: High Fantasy / High Magic.
• Detail: Focus on robe filigree and runes on staves.
• Use: Ideal for Archmages, Abjurers, or Rune Masters.

👤 Character Descriptions

1. The Rune-Halo High Mage: The jewel of the set. He carries a large runic circle on his back that levitates as he channels energy. His staff is shaped like a ceremonial spearhead, ideal for a mage who leads armies from the rear.
2. The Spellshield Sentinel: A hybrid combat mage. Equipped with a crystal staff and a physical/magical shield, he is the perfect bodyguard for other spellcasters. His chainmail armor under the robe makes him unique.
3. The Grand Evoker: The classic image of arcane power. With a full beard and embroidered robes, this mage is in the midst of casting a complex spell that emanates from his left hand, while firmly holding his arcane focus.
