Diseased Infected Beasts Squad (x3)

This Infected Beasts Squad brings three hulking, plague-ridden creatures to your collection, each one a monument to corruption and biological horror. Sculpted with extraordinary detail by DakkaDakka, these physical resin miniatures arrive with supports already removed and surfaces cleaned, ready for assembly and painting straight out of the box. The squad measures 41mm to 61mm from feet to eyes, giving each beast an imposing presence on the tabletop.

The set includes three distinct models across two bases. The first is a massive rhinoceros-like creature, its body bloated and warped by infection, a crude mechanical rig bolted across its back as it charges head-down into the fray. The second model features a toad-like beast bursting upward through a corrupted metal sign, its maw gaping wide with mechanical growths sprouting from its spine. The third is a scaled, crocodilian creature coiled around a field of salvaged machinery, claws gripping the wreckage with predatory intent. Together, this Infected Beasts Squad tells a story of nature twisted beyond recognition by dark and creeping disease.

Each miniature is cast in high-quality grey resin and captures the grimdark aesthetic with surface details including pustules, suppurating wounds, bolted armour plates, corroded metal fittings, and tangled mechanical appendages. The level of sculpted texture rewards careful painting and makes them ideal as centrepiece units or as part of a larger corrupted warband. The Infected Beasts Squad is equally at home on a display shelf or locked in fierce tabletop combat.

These models are supplied unpainted and may require minor assembly. Plastic glue is not suitable for resin. Super glue or resin-compatible adhesive is recommended.

The following guide is written specifically for this Infected Beasts Squad and is designed to help hobbyists of all skill levels achieve a suitably grim and diseased result. Take your time between stages and thin your paints for smoother coverage.

1. Prime

• Apply a grey or black spray primer evenly across all surfaces, ensuring no resin is left bare.
• A grey primer works especially well here as it preserves shadow depth while allowing lighter tones to read cleanly.

2. Armour Base

• Basecoat fleshy skin areas with a mid-brown or pale green, depending on your preferred diseased tone.
• Apply a dark grey or olive green to armour plates and mechanical components to keep the palette grimy and muted.

3. Trim and Details

• Pick out pustules and growths with a sickly yellow-green, then apply a careful wash of dark brown to settle into the crevices.
• Use a deep purple or sickly ochre for exposed tendons and biological detail to suggest decay and corruption.

4. Weapons

• Basecoat metal fittings, bolts, and mechanical arms with a dark iron or gunmetal, then drybrush lightly with silver.
• Add streaks of rust using orange-brown, applied with a torn sponge or fine detail brush for a corroded finish.

5. Weathering

• Apply a generous wash of dark brown or black over the entire model to unify tones and deepen recesses.
• Drybrush raised surfaces lightly with a lighter tone of your base colour to restore contrast and bring out sculpted detail.

6. Bases

• Paint the base rims in a dark grey or matt black and add texture paste, sand, or static grass to suggest a blighted battlefield or diseased terrain.
