Minion - Gruk the Fang | 32mm & 75mm Fantasy Miniature | FDM & Resin

Ork Minion – “Gruk the Fang”

Gruk is Gorgrak’s oldest follower—scarred, squat, and mean. He earned his name by tearing out a rival’s throat with his teeth. His jagged axe is more rust than steel, and his armor is stitched from the hides of fallen Ember Vale beasts. Gruk fights with reckless abandon, often laughing as he charges into battle.

Character Created in assistance with Tripo3D.
