Picture this: your party crests a hill and riding hard towards them is a fully armoured cat person on horseback, banner raised, absolutely not taking any nonsense from anyone. That's the energy the CatFolk Rider Paladin brings to the table, and honestly it's brilliant.
This is a physical resin miniature — you order it, we pack it, it lands on your doorstep ready to prime and paint. It arrives in plain grey resin, and from there it's entirely yours to do with as you like. The detail holds up beautifully at tabletop scale: the armour has real texture to it, the mount reads clearly as a proper warhorse, and the rider sits with genuine authority in the saddle. Nothing feels soft or mushy, which makes it a genuinely satisfying piece to paint.
There are a few sculpt variants in this listing, each with slightly different weapon or pose details, so it's worth looking through the photos to pick the one that fits your character concept. Whether you're building a loyal NPC knight or finally statting up that paladin you've been planning for months, one of the variants will click.
Cat-folk warriors have a long history in fantasy fiction and folklore — the idea of a feline people who combine physical grace with martial discipline is pretty much irresistible, and tabletop gaming has leaned into that tradition hard. As a mounted paladin, this figure sits right at the intersection of holy warrior and cavalry commander, which is a genuinely fun archetype to bring to the table. If you want to browse more in that vein, the Cat Folk miniatures collection has plenty of options to build out a warband or a full faction.
Goons put a lot of care into the character of their sculpts — there's a slight swagger to this piece that stops it feeling generic. The rider isn't just sitting there; there's a sense of forward motion even at a standstill. That's the kind of thing that makes a miniature genuinely fun to paint rather than a chore. You can see more of what they do across the Goons range if this style appeals to you.
If you're after something with a similar holy-warrior flavour but a very different personality, the Penguin Folk Paladin by Epic Miniatures is a brilliant contrast — same class, completely different vibe, and the two would look great sharing a table.
Overall this is a strong, characterful piece that earns its place in any fantasy collection. Grab the sculpt that fits your build, slap on a primer, and get painting.
