Angels of War (build kit) - 34mm Resin Miniatures

The Angels of War (build kit) is a squad of five highly detailed physical resin miniatures, sculpted by DakkaDakka and inspired by grimdark sci-fi warrior angels clad in flowing cloaks, ornate armour and winged jump packs. Each miniature stands approximately 34mm from feet to eyes, placing them comfortably alongside standard 32-35mm scale wargaming collections. The kit arrives already printed, supports removed, and cleaned, ready for assembly and painting straight out of the box.

This Angels of War (build kit) contains 55 individual parts across five unique body poses and five scenic rubble bases, giving you exceptional flexibility when building your squad. Weapon options include pistols, rifles, swords, and staves, so you can tailor each warrior to your preferred loadout. A single eagle-winged backpack component is also included as a dedicated sergeant or leader piece, adding visual hierarchy to your finished unit.

With dynamic running and leaping poses, dramatic cloaks caught mid-motion, and richly textured armour panels, the Angels of War (build kit) delivers genuine display quality for both competitive tabletop play and display cabinet projects. The crisp resin captures fine edge details, iconography, and fabric folds that reward careful brush work at every skill level.

Each set ships with five bodies, five scenic bases, one winged backpack, and all 55 weapon and arm options needed to assemble a complete five-model squad. Superglue is recommended for assembly. Models are supplied unpainted.

These warriors suit a cold, celestial colour palette that reflects their angelic and militaristic character. The guide below walks through each stage from bare resin to a finished tabletop standard.

1. Prime

• Apply a thin, even coat of grey or white spray primer to seal the resin and give paint something to grip.
• Check for any missed recesses and touch up with a brush-applied primer where needed.

2. Armour Base

• Base coat armour plates with a pale silver or off-white, such as Vallejo Ghost Grey or Citadel Corax White.
• Apply a second thin coat for smooth, even coverage before moving to shading.

3. Trim and Details

• Paint raised trim, buckles, and iconography in a warm gold or brass tone to contrast the pale armour.
• Pick out cloth areas such as cloaks in a deep crimson or midnight blue for a striking split palette.

4. Weapons

• Base coat gun bodies and sword blades in a dark steel shade, then drybrush with a bright silver to lift the edges.
• Add a spot colour to power cells or gemstones using a saturated green or blue for visual interest.

5. Weathering

• Apply a thin wash of sepia or grey over armour recesses to define panel lines and add depth.
• Use a fine brush to stipple small chips and scratches along armour edges with a dark grey followed by a fine silver highlight.

6. Bases

• Drybrush the rubble bases in a medium stone grey followed by a lighter off-white highlight to tie the scenic elements together.
• Finish with a matte varnish over the whole model to protect the paintwork and unify the sheen across all surfaces.
