Gothic Sci-Fi Space Elf Warriors - Spacelair Range Squad

Gothic Sci-fi meets dark elven elegance in this squad of six finely sculpted Space Elf Warriors from the Spacelair Range, cast in high-quality resin and delivered to your door with supports already removed and surfaces cleaned, ready to assemble and paint straight out of the box. Each figure stands approximately 31mm from feet to eyes, capturing a sweeping sense of motion and purpose that rewards careful brushwork and close attention to detail.

Supplied unpainted.

The six models in this set cover a strong spread of poses and character archetypes. Hooded assassin-scouts crouch mid-stride with bows drawn, their cloaks billowing behind them with a cinematic energy. A commanding figure stands with curled, natural hair and layered void-farer armour, levelling a crossbow with cold precision. A bestial warrior wearing a horned skull mask and heavy cape rounds out the squad with raw, menacing presence. A decorative objective marker or totem piece rounds out the set, sculpted in the same gothic sci-fi aesthetic as the warriors themselves, adding utility on the tabletop alongside the fighter models.

Sculpted by DakkaDakka, these models bring the same obsessive detail found across the Spacelair Range: chased armour panels, flowing capes with deep fabric folds, ornate bows and crossbows with mechanical accents, and characterful faces that reward highlighting. Whether you field them as a ranged skirmish unit, a kill team, or an elite patrol, this squad holds together visually while offering enough individual personality to paint each one as a named character if you choose.

Six models are included in this set. This is a physical resin miniature product. No printing required.

These warriors suit a palette of cold metallics, deep jewel tones, and pale or bleached cloak fabrics, with a touch of verdigris or iridescence on the armour trim to reinforce their alien refinement. The guide below covers the approach step by step.

1. Prime

• Apply a thin, even coat of grey or off-white primer from a spray can or airbrush to capture all the deep recesses in the cloaks and armour panels.
• Check for missed spots around the bow limbs and cloak underside before proceeding.

2. Armour Base

• Basecoat all armour panels in a deep midnight blue or dark purple-grey, keeping coverage smooth and consistent across all six figures.
• Add a secondary basecoat of dark green or teal on any secondary armour plates to introduce contrast within the squad.

3. Trim and Details

• Pick out armour trim, clasps, and ornamental edges in a pale gold or aged brass, using a fine brush and thin paint for clean lines.
• Apply a thin wash of sepia or brown ink over all metallic areas to settle the tone and fill the engraved grooves.

4. Weapons

• Paint bow limbs and crossbow stocks in dark walnut brown, then highlight with a lighter tan along the upper edges to suggest carved or treated wood.
• Basecoat bowstrings and mechanical crossbow elements in gunmetal, then edge-highlight with silver to suggest tensioned cable and fine machinery.

5. Weathering

• Apply a thin glaze of blue-green (verdigris) at recesses on the armour trim for an aged, otherworldly effect consistent with the gothic sci aesthetic.
• Stipple a small amount of rust-orange at joints and armour edges using a torn sponge to suggest campaign wear without overwhelming the elegance of the sculpt.

6. Bases

• Texture bases with fine dark ash or cracked earth paste, then drybrush with pale bone or off-white to suggest a desolate, airless terrain. A single spot colour such as a small gem, glowing rune, or ember can tie the base back to the squad's palette without competing with the figures above.
