Field Of Swords

This WarpLand miniature brings a haunting battlefield relic to your tabletop, a cursed sword driven deep into a mound of shattered rock, surrounded by skulls and jagged stone shards, a silent monument to those who fell and were forgotten in the wars that unmade the world.

Where the Eloi and Morlocks clashed and reality itself buckled, the wastelands of Arkanar are littered with such grim markers. Blades thrust into scorched earth over the bodies of the slain. No names. No prayers. Only iron and bone, slowly swallowed by the encroaching Warp. The Field Of Swords terrain piece captures exactly that bleak poetry, a lone sword rising from a bed of crystalised rock, skulls crowding its base, wings of stone splayed outward like a broken sigil. It speaks of Iron Lords fallen in conquest, of Skull Riders brought low on the road to nowhere, of nameless souls claimed by the Taint before they ever reached the Citadel.

Cast in high-quality resin as a single part, this terrain piece measures approximately 24 x 22mm at the base and stands 23mm tall, ideal for scattering across dungeon floors, ruined settlements, or the blasted roads between Abraxas and Lagash. Use it as a waymarker, an objective token, a cursed shrine, or simply a piece of atmospheric scatter terrain that tells a story without a word.

Supplied unpainted and unassembled. Resin may require light cleanup before priming. Compatible with all 28-32mm scale tabletop systems.

Painting Guide: Field Of Swords

This WarpLand miniature rewards a muted, desaturated palette broken up by spot colours on the sword and skull details. The goal is a piece that reads as ancient, corrupted, and half-reclaimed by the Warp.

1. Prime

• Prime with a flat grey or black spray to preserve fine detail on the skulls and blade
• A zenithal highlight from above in light grey helps establish natural shading before any paint is applied

2. Stone and Rock Base

• Basecoat all rock surfaces in a dark grey-brown such as Mechanicus Standard Grey or similar
• Drybrush progressively lighter greys upward, finishing with a near-white edge highlight on the highest points

3. Skulls and Bone

• Basecoat skulls in a mid bone tone such as Ushabti Bone or equivalent
• Wash heavily with a brown-black ink to pool in the eye sockets and cracks
• Drybrush lightly with bleached bone or ivory to bring the surface back up

4. Weapons

• Basecoat the sword blade in a dark iron tone — Leadbelcher or similar works well
• Apply a black wash across the full blade, then edge highlight with bright silver along the ridge and cutting edge
• Add subtle rust streaks toward the base of the blade using a thin orange-brown stippled on with a torn sponge

5. Weathering

• Use thinned Agrax Earthshade or equivalent to stain the lower portions of rock and stone, suggesting accumulated grime and Warp-touched corruption
• For a void-touched effect, glaze the crystal shards with a very thin purple or teal to suggest unnatural energy within the stone

6. Bases

• If mounting on a larger base, texture with fine sand and small gravel, paint dark brown and drybrush ash grey to match the desolate aesthetic of this WarpLand miniature
