Angelic High Commander - 32mm Resin Miniature

The Angelic High Commander is a single, large-scale 32mm resin miniature that arrives ready to assemble and paint, carrying the kind of presence that makes it a natural centrepiece for any force built around honour, discipline, and aerial might. Every surface of this figure is packed with ornate detail: feathered pauldrons sweep back from broad armoured shoulders, a winged helm crowns the head with avian authority, and an imperial eagle spreads across the chest plate in sharp, layered relief. A sweeping battle cloak falls behind the figure with a weight and drape that reads as genuinely heroic, while the massive two-handed blade held low at the figure's side suggests a warrior who has seen enough wars to know patience is its own kind of violence.

Supplied unpainted.

Sculpted by Atlan Forge, this figure draws on the iconography of guardian warrior traditions, blending gothic ecclesiastical ornamentation with heavy power armour in a way that rewards careful brushwork at every scale. The base is a detailed ruin scatter, with broken gothic stonework and collapsed architectural fragments providing a dramatic platform. Two build options are available, offering different weapon loadouts so the figure can be tailored to suit your preferred battlefield role.

The miniature arrives as a physical resin kit with supports already removed and surfaces cleaned, ready for assembly and painting. It is designed for the adult hobbyist who wants a character-level model with the detail density to justify extended painting sessions and the silhouette to hold the eye across a crowded tabletop.

This figure ships as one model with optional weapon and component variants included.

This guide is written for painters working in any scheme that suits angelic or guardian warrior aesthetics, whether bone white, midnight black, deep crimson, or a scheme entirely your own. The figure's large flat armour panels and deep relief detail make it well suited to both contrast-style painting and traditional layering.

1. Prime

• Apply a light grey or white primer for bright armour schemes, or a black primer for darker, more battle-worn looks.
• Zenithal priming from above in white over a black base coat gives instant depth before any paint is applied.

2. Armour Base

• For bone white armour, start with a mid-grey base, layer up to off-white, and glaze with a very diluted sepia to warm the recesses.
• For black armour, base in dark grey, highlight raised edges progressively up to a cool off-white or pale blue-grey at the sharpest points.

3. Trim and Details

• Pick out trim, belt buckles, and iconography in gold or bronze. A wash of brown or sepia over the metallic layer settles it into the armour naturally.
• The chest eagle and feathered shoulder panels reward individual feather highlighting. Work from a dark base up through mid-tone to a sharp edge highlight for maximum definition.

4. Weapons

• The great blade suits a cool steel look. Base in dark metal, layer up to bright silver on edges, and apply a thin black wash to recesses. A faint blue glaze can suggest an energised edge.
• The ranged weapon arm benefits from the same metal treatment with spot colour on any lens or energy elements in a contrasting amber or green.

5. Weathering

• Stipple thinned dark grey or brown at armour edges and around the boots and knee guards for a campaign-worn look.
• Scratches and chips can be added with a fine brush in two stages: a dark underlayer followed by a thin bright highlight above, reading as genuine damage in the paint.

6. Bases

• The ruin scatter base suits a desaturated stone palette. Base the rubble in mid-grey, wash with dark brown or black, then drybrush up through lighter grey to off-white on the highest points. Spot colours on the broken gothic stonework add narrative detail.

This is an adult hobbyist collectible, not a toy. Not suitable for children under 14 years due to small, detailed parts.
