The Forgotten Champions: Mercenaries Battle Pack delivers two finely detailed physical resin miniatures, ready to assemble and paint straight from the box. Akira and Berma are hardened sell-swords from the darker edges of the world, each sculpted with extraordinary care and packed with narrative detail. Akira stands approximately 35mm tall and carries twin katana blades, her oni-masked belt and flowing layered robes speaking to a warrior tradition shaped by years of brutal contract work. Berma, a heavily armoured gladiatorial champion, kneels in grim resolve atop a shattered battlefield base, her crested helmet lowered and her broadsword planted into the rubble beneath her.
Each miniature in the Forgotten Champions: Mercenaries Battle Pack arrives as a physical cast resin piece, with supports already removed and surfaces cleaned for your convenience. The level of sculpted detail on both figures is exceptional, from Akira's braided belt decoration and layered armour panels to Berma's ornate breastplate scrollwork and textured chain skirt. Both figures are mounted on scenic oval bases that add immediate environmental storytelling to your display shelf or gaming table.
Both figures were sculpted by Haito, whose work brings a strong sense of character and craftsmanship to every piece in this pack. These mercenaries carry no allegiance but gold. They fit naturally into grimdark fantasy warbands, skirmish games, or display collections where a sense of weary, battle-forged professionalism is essential. The two figures complement each other visually, one standing tall and poised, the other crouched and contemplative, giving your squad dynamic variety on the tabletop.
Whether you are building a full mercenary warband or adding individual champions to an existing force, the Forgotten Champions: Mercenaries Battle Pack offers outstanding sculpt quality and genuine character in every detail.
Painting Guide: Forgotten Champions: Mercenaries Battle PackThis squad rewards a methodical approach. Work from dark recesses outward, and allow each layer to dry fully before moving on. The varied materials across both figures give you room to experiment with contrast and texture throughout the paint job.
1. Prime
- Apply a thin, even coat of grey or black spray primer to both figures, ensuring full coverage in all recesses and undercuts.
- For Akira, a mid-grey primer will make the lighter fabric tones easier to achieve without extra brightening layers.
2. Armour Base
- For Akira, base coat the armour panels in a dark iron or gunmetal grey, keeping tones cold and worn.
- For Berma, use a warm bronze or aged brass base over the ornate breastplate and helmet to reflect a classical gladiatorial look.
3. Trim and Details
- Pick out Akira's belt, oni mask decoration, and cuffs in deep burgundy or muted crimson to add a focal point.
- Highlight Berma's scrollwork with a gold or pale brass drybrush over the base layer, building depth across the raised relief patterns.
4. Weapons
- Paint Akira's twin katana blades in a high-contrast steel, starting with dark grey and highlighting up to near-white at the edges to suggest a razor-sharp finish.
- For Berma's broadsword, use a slightly warmer steel tone with visible scratches and edge wear painted in dark brown to suggest heavy use.
5. Weathering
- Apply thin washes of dark brown or sepia into the recesses of both figures to unify shadows and add grime to the lower sections of robes and armour.
- Use a fine brush to stipple rust tones at metal edges and joints, keeping the effect heaviest around the feet and base contact points.
6. Bases
- Drybrush the rocky scenic bases in light grey and pale bone tones, then add a thin coat of brown wash to settle the palette and tie the earth tones together.
- Finish with a few tufts of dead grass or ash-grey static grass for a blighted battlefield atmosphere.
