Angelic Aegis Elite - 32mm Resin Miniatures Squad

The Angelic Aegis Elite are a squad of three imposing heavy infantry warriors clad in thick, ornate power armour adorned with winged iconography, skull motifs, and layered tactical plate that speaks to centuries of relentless warfare. Each figure carries a distinct loadout, from dual-wielded pistols fed by heavy ammunition chains, to shoulder-mounted missile arrays and bestial pauldron carvings that blur the line between warrior and legend. These are soldiers sculpted to command attention on any tabletop.

Sculpted by Atlan Forge, this squad arrives as three physical resin miniatures with supports already removed and surfaces cleaned, ready to assemble and paint straight from the box. The kit includes a broad range of modular components: multiple torso variants, head options, pauldron styles including wolf-maw and feathered designs, arm poses, weapon choices, and decorative bases, giving hobbyists meaningful flexibility to build three distinct characters from a single set.

Each miniature is scaled at 32mm and benefits from the high level of surface detail that defines this range. Feathered trim, bullet-chain draping, skulled knee guards, and chiselled armour panelling all reward careful painting and make each figure a centrepiece in its own right. The Angelic Aegis Elite suit both competitive wargaming collections and display shelves equally well.

Assembly requires standard plastic adhesive or cyanoacrylate glue. Priming before painting is strongly recommended for best results.

This guide is written for painters of any experience level who want to bring out the rich surface detail packed into each figure.

1. Prime

• Apply a thin, even coat of grey or white spray primer across all assembled parts.
• For a darker, more brooding finish, a black primer with a zenithal highlight in grey works well as a value sketch before colour is applied.

2. Armour Base

• Base coat the armour panels in a deep midnight blue or a rich forest green depending on your chapter colours.
• Apply the base coat in thin layers, building up opacity gradually to preserve the sharp edge detail on the panelling and trim lines.

3. Trim and Details

• Pick out the raised trim, eagle iconography, and winged chest emblems with a warm gold or bronze base colour.
• Layer up with a brighter gold highlight on the sharpest edges to create contrast against the dark armour.

4. Weapons

• Base coat pistols, missile pods, and chain feeds in a dark metallic such as gunmetal or dark iron.
• Drybrush with a lighter silver to bring out mechanical textures and raised bolt details across the ammo chains.

5. Weathering

• Apply a dark brown or black wash into the recesses of the armour joints, skull ornaments, and chain links to add depth.
• Stipple chipping effects on armour edges using a sponge and dark brown paint, followed by a fine line of bright silver above each chip to simulate battle damage.

6. Bases

• The detailed cast base inserts suit a cracked stone or ruined tile scheme. Apply textured paste around the rim, paint in neutral greys and browns, then finish with tufts or static grass for contrast against the dark armour.
