2nd Death Division Mortar Tea - Sci-Fi Wargaming Miniatures

The 2nd Death Division Mortar Tea set delivers a brutal and characterful heavy weapons crew straight to your tabletop, ready to defend the line at any cost. This physical resin miniature set depicts two heavily armoured troopers operating a squat, industrialised mortar emplacement, positioned behind a fortified sandbag wall with a stack of supply crates nearby. Each soldier wears a full gas mask, spiked helmet, long coat, and layered armour plating, evoking a grimdark aesthetic that fits perfectly into dystopian sci-fi wargaming settings. The set stands approximately 30mm from feet to eyes as noted on the product reference.

The 2nd Death Division Mortar Tea crew arrives as pre-printed physical resin miniatures with supports already removed and surfaces cleaned. One trooper cradles a mortar shell ready to load, while the other operates or aims the weapon. Together they form a complete, narrative-rich diorama piece that integrates naturally into trench warfare or siege-line scenarios on the battlefield. The sandbag base adds instant visual weight and tactical atmosphere to any deployment.

Squad size: 2 crew miniatures plus mortar emplacement, sandbag base, and crate accessories. All components arrive ready to assemble and paint.

Whether you field the 2nd Death Division Mortar Tea as part of a larger infantry force or as a standalone artillery unit, this set rewards careful painting and brings real presence to your collection. Ideal for collectors, competitive players, and narrative campaign enthusiasts alike.

This guide will help you bring your crew to life with a grimdark, battle-worn finish that suits the oppressive aesthetic of the sculpt.

1. Prime

• Apply a grey or black spray primer evenly across all components before beginning any basecoat work.

2. Armour Base

• Basecoat all armour plates with a dark grey or cold steel tone such as Mechanicus Standard Grey or equivalent.
• Apply a second thin coat to build opacity before moving to shading.

3. Trim and Details

• Pick out buckles, belt pouches, and coat buttons with a dark brass or aged bronze tone.
• Paint the gas mask lenses with a deep red or amber to add a menacing focal point.

4. Weapons

• Basecoat the mortar barrel and mortar shell with gunmetal or dark iron, leaving recesses slightly darker.
• Add a thin edge highlight of silver to raised rims and muzzle edges to suggest worn metal.

5. Weathering

• Apply a brown or black wash across all surfaces to deepen recesses and add battlefield grime.
• Drybrush lightly with a pale silver or bone colour on armour edges to simulate chipping and wear.

6. Bases

• Paint sandbags in a tan or khaki tone, wash with brown, and drybrush with a lighter sand colour. Paint crates in dark wood tones with metal corner banding in bronze or iron.
