Hades War Banners (20) with Standard Bearer

The Hades War Banners (20) with Standard Bearer is a commanding set of physical resin miniatures designed to lead your forces into the darkest corners of the grimdark battlefield. Each figure in this collection arrives already printed, supports removed, and cleaned, ready for assembly and painting straight from the box. The set includes twenty ornate war banners and a dedicated Standard Bearer, a heavily armoured warrior clad in skull-encrusted plate carrying a towering icon of dread devotion.

These miniatures are steeped in dark iconography. The banners rise tall above the Standard Bearer, adorned with chained skulls, spiked wheels, demonic effigies, and skeletal figureheads that evoke a force touched by ancient and malevolent power. The Standard Bearer himself stands approximately 32mm to eye level, with the full banner assembly reaching well over 70mm in total height. His armour is layered with skulls, chains, and runic symbols, while his posture radiates authority and menace.

The Hades War Banners (20) with Standard Bearer suit any dark fantasy or grimdark wargaming force that demands visual impact on the tabletop. Whether used as unit champions, objective markers, or centrepiece models, they deliver exceptional detail and presence. The resin captures every engraved skull and spike with crisp, sharp definition, making each banner a genuine focal point of any army display.

All twenty banners feature interchangeable design elements, giving collectors and players flexibility in how they deploy the set. The Hades War Banners (20) with Standard Bearer is sculpted by Atlan Forge and is produced in high-quality grey resin. Some light assembly may be required. Super glue is recommended.

This guide will help you bring out the full character of these grimdark icons, from their rusted iron trim to their bone-white skull details.

1. Prime

• Apply a black or dark grey spray primer to ensure full coverage over the detailed recesses.
• Allow to cure fully before applying any basecoats.

2. Armour Base

• Basecoat armour plates with a dark iron or gunmetal grey, such as a dark steel tone.
• Apply a second thin coat to smooth out coverage on the heavier armour sections.

3. Trim and Details

• Paint bone accents and skull details with an off-white or aged ivory basecoat, then wash with brown shade.
• Use a deep red or corroded bronze for small trim details and rune markings to give a corrupted feel.

4. Weapons

• Basecoat blades and weapons with dark steel, then drybrush a lighter silver to catch edge highlights.
• Add rust streaks using orange-brown thinned paint applied with a torn blister pack sponge.

5. Weathering

• Apply a heavy black or brown wash across the entire model to deepen recesses and add grime.
• Drybrush raised surfaces lightly with a pale grey or silver to lift edges and enhance depth.

6. Bases

• Texture paste in dark ash or cracked mud tones suits the hellish aesthetic of these models well.
• Finish with a matte varnish to protect paintwork and reduce shine across all surfaces.
