About this model
A paladin in ornate gold-coloured plate armour with a full helm, holding out one hand and carrying a tall shield marked with a cross-like emblem. The armour is polished and detailed. The figure stands about 7 ft tall on a footprint near 3.5 ft square, still within one square.
Use it as a holy champion in the party, the commander of a temple guard or an ally who arrives at the turning point of a battle. It looks best in cathedrals, sunlit courtyards and battlefields at dawn. Place it where a light source catches the armour, and track hit points and conditions on the token.
Ideas for the table
- A gold-armoured knight rides into the besieged village at sunrise and asks the party who leads the defence.
- The champion of the temple is accused of murder and asks the party to prove her innocence before the trial by combat.
- In a crypt, the radiant knight stands guard over a sealed tomb and will not move unless given a password.
