Title: The Flayed Covenant - 5 Nightmare Cultist STLs | Horror Miniature Bundle for Zombicide & RPGs | Digital Download

Description:

Meet The Flayed Covenant — a terrifying faction of sadomasochistic cultists who believe pain is the ultimate liberation. These are not mindless zombies; they are intelligent, organized, and deeply disturbed torturers, sculpted for players who want to add true psychological horror to their tabletop experience.

This set is an original, fan-inspired creation designed to serve as a new enemy faction or "Abomination" class for horror tabletop games. It is not a licensed product and is not affiliated with Guillotine Games, Hasbro, or any associated brands.

The Flayed Covenant has been designed with high-fidelity gore, dungeon-scenic bases, and narrative storytelling woven into every sculpt, making them standout villains for RPG campaigns and games like Marvel Zombicide.

🔹 What Makes This Set Unique

This bundle includes 5 high-quality STL miniatures, each capturing a different aspect of this nightmare cult. The set centers around the Matriarch and her "children":

🩸 The Matriarch Elara: The leader, depicted in a deceptively elegant dress made of stitched human skin. She wears a stolen face as a mask and reads from the bleeding Codex Carnis, holding a victim's head aloft.

🪝 Silas the Self-Flayed: The master torturer, sculpted in the act of "liberating" a victim with a skinning knife. He is shirtless, wearing gloves and a mask made of raw flesh.

💀 The Herald: A terrifying figure walking calmly towards the players, carrying a totem stick pierced with the heads of those who refused the "gift" of pain.

🔪 The Pursuer: A high-octane sculpt of a cultist sprinting toward the camera, swinging a bloody machete, with a severed arm and head detailing the base.

🦗 The Leaper: An agile, jumping variant showing the feral nature of the cult, designed to look like they are pouncing on a survivor from the shadows.

Each STL comes with a pre-attached scenic dungeon base, making them easy to print, paint, and drop directly into gameplay without extra modeling or assembly.

You’ll also receive: 📜 A custom Enemy/Abomination card compatible with Zombicide-style gameplay. Perfect for collectors, painters, tabletop enthusiasts, and Dungeon Masters looking for a boss encounter.

🔹 The Legend of The Flayed Covenant

The Covenant was born from the discovery of the Codex Carnis—a tome bound in fascia that rewired the minds of its readers. Led by Matriarch Elara, these cultists are not undead; they are the "Awakened." They have transcended the evolutionary barrier of shock, feeling only divine ecstasy where others feel pain.

They do not wish to eat you. They wish to "free" you from your skin.

Their presence on the board brings a new level of threat:

The Crimson Awakening: They do not suffer wound penalties. Injuring them only drives them into a frenzy.

Calculated Cruelty: unlike zombies, they set traps and flank survivors.

The Gospel of Agony: Elara's reading of the Codex buffs nearby cultists, making them faster and more resilient.

They are smart. They are fast. And they want to show you the truth beneath your skin.

Backstory The Leader: Matriarch Elara, The First Liberated

Once a gentle scholar, Elara is now the chillingly calm center of the Covenant's storm. She rarely engages in combat herself. Instead, she directs her "children" with the cool detachment of a conductor. She carries the Codex Carnis chained to her body. Her own skin is a tapestry of self-inflicted scripture, the wounds kept open and weeping as a sign of piety.

Threat Level: Extreme (Strategic).

Behavior: She coordinates the others. If she is on the board, all other Covenant members gain tactical bonuses (moving faster, setting ambushes). She wants to capture the players alive to read to them from the Book.

The Enforcers: The Skin-Saints (The Males)

These are the rank-and-file fanatics of the Covenant. Starved so that their muscles and veins show clearly through their abused skin, they drape themselves in the flayed hides of their victims—trophies of past "liberations." They carry industrial tools repurposed for torture: rusty bone saws, meat hooks, and branding irons.

Notable Figure: Silas the Self-Flayed. Silas is obsessed with removing his own "prison." He has cut away his own lips and eyelids so he can never look away from the world's beautiful agony. He is fast, relentless, and often drags a cage meant for a player character.

Behavior: Unlike zombies that move directly toward noise, Skin-Saints will hide in zones, waiting for a player to enter before springing an ambush. They use hook weapons to drag players out of secure zones.

The Hunters: The Shrieking Sisters (The Females)

If the Skin-Saints are the hammers, the Sisters are the scalpels. These women of the Covenant embrace the manic energy of the Awakening. They are incredibly agile, often leaping over obstacles or crawling across ceilings using customized climbing claws. Their hair is matted with blood, and they often wield massive pairs of rusted trauma shears or jagged ritual daggers.

Behavior: They prioritize targets who are alone or injured. Their screams can cause the "Panic" state in player characters, reducing their ability to fight back effectively.
