Berma - Human Mercenary - 32mm Resin Miniature

Berma is a battle-hardened human mercenary rendered in high-detail resin, capturing the weight of a warrior who has survived countless engagements and carries every scar with quiet defiance. Kneeling on a rubble-strewn battlefield base, she plants her longsword into the broken earth, one knee down, head bowed, a moment of exhausted resolve frozen in time. Her ornate Greco-Roman inspired armour is covered in intricate scroll-work and scaled detailing across the breastplate, pauldrons, and greaves, giving her the look of a veteran who has earned every piece of her kit through blood and mercenary coin.

This physical resin miniature arrives with supports already removed and cleaned, ready for assembly if required and primed for painting. Standing at approximately 32mm scale, Berma fits seamlessly into skirmish wargames, tabletop RPG encounters, or display collections. The sculpt is shown from two angles to highlight the exceptional surface detail on both the front and rear, including her crested helmet, flowing hair, and the defeated enemy helmet crushed beneath her boot on the scenic base.

Berma was sculpted by Haito, whose craftsmanship is evident in every layer of detail across this piece. Berma works as a centrepiece model for any mercenary warband, a solo champion on the tabletop, or a display piece for painters who want a challenging and rewarding subject. The dynamic pose and layered textures make her ideal for advanced painters and experienced hobbyists alike. Whether you field her as a sword-for-hire, a fallen champion, or a legendary duelist, she commands attention on any table.

Each Berma miniature is supplied as a physical resin cast, cleaned and ready to assemble and paint. Miniature is supplied unpainted. Glue may be required for any multi-part assembly.

This guide is designed to help you bring out the full character of the Berma sculpt, focusing on the contrast between her warm bronze armour, weathered cloth, and the cold stone base beneath her.

1. Prime

• Apply a grey or bone-coloured spray primer for a neutral base that lets warm armour tones read clearly.
• Ensure all recesses and under-armour details are fully covered before moving to base coats.

2. Armour Base

• Basecoat the breastplate, pauldrons, and greaves with a mid-tone bronze or gold, such as Retributor Armour or Vallejo Bright Bronze.
• Apply a second thin coat to the raised scroll-work panels to ensure full, even coverage before shading.

3. Trim and Details

• Pick out the leather straps and cloth skirt with a deep brown base, layered up to a warm tan highlight at the edges and folds.
• Paint the helmet crest feathers in a burnt orange or ochre, graduating to a lighter yellow-gold at the tips.

4. Weapons

• Basecoat the longsword blade in a dark steel such as Leadbelcher, then highlight with a bright silver along the edge and tip.
• Paint the sword pommel and grip wrap in aged gold and worn leather to tie it back to the overall colour palette.

5. Weathering

• Apply a brown wash over the entire armour surface, then selectively highlight raised edges with the original bronze to restore depth.
• Add scratches and chips to the armour using a fine detail brush and a dark gunmetal, concentrating on edges and high-contact areas.

6. Bases

• Drybrush the broken stone base with successive layers of grey, bone, and white to bring out the cracked texture and rubble detail.
• Paint the crushed enemy helmet in a contrasting darker metal to make it read clearly against the lighter stone.
