Before disease claimed him, he ruled with wisdom that made other dwarf lords look like apprentices. This head captures Baulirk at his peak—extra-long magnificent beard flowing with metal ring adornments, serious expression radiating authority earned through centuries, mustache framing features that have negotiated treaties and declared wars, plus engraved crown marking him as dwarf royalty. This is the king before tragedy struck.

That extraordinary beard provides exceptional painting opportunities. Layer rich browns and grays building depth through every braid and strand, add metallic highlights to ring decorations suggesting clan heritage and royal treasure, or experiment with color gradients from darker roots to lighter ends showing distinguished age. Each metal ring can receive individual attention—paint some as gold, others as silver or bronze, creating visual story of diplomatic gifts and family heirlooms woven into beard itself.

The crown demands royal treatment. Layer gold leaf effects with subtle weathering showing centuries of wear, add gemstone details through careful color placement, or paint intricate engravings with fine detail work. That serious expression captures ruler who understands crown’s weight—this isn’t ceremonial figure, this is working monarch who still visits forge and council chamber.

Perfect for dwarf kingdom leaders, elder council members, or building character progression sets with the skeletal version. Compatible with 1.0 bodies for maximum articulation.

Some crowns are worn. This one was earned through wisdom, worn through duty.
