Havesters Cult Elite Bodyguard - Sci-Fi Wargaming Miniatures

The Havesters Cult Elite Bodyguard is a fearsome single-model resin miniature designed for grimdark sci-fi wargaming. Standing 24mm from feet to eyes, this hulking ratfolk warrior cuts an imposing silhouette on the battlefield, clutching a wicked bladed staff topped with a runic crescent totem while gripping a serrated blade in its free hand. The model arrives as a physical resin miniature with supports already removed, cleaned, and ready to assemble and paint straight from the box.

The kit comprises 4 parts, including two interchangeable hooded head options, giving you flexibility in how you present your Havesters Cult Elite Bodyguard on the tabletop. The sculpt captures every sinister detail: layered robes over segmented armour plates, clawed feet, a whip-like tail, and ragged parchment banners hanging from the staff. The level of surface detail rewards careful painting and suits both beginner and experienced hobbyists.

Supplied with a round display base, the miniature sits securely and is compatible with standard wargaming base sizes. Whether you are building a dedicated retinue or placing a single character piece at the heart of your warband, the Havesters Cult Elite Bodyguard delivers a commanding presence on any gaming table.

Miniature is supplied unpainted. Superglue recommended for assembly. Paints, brushes, and tools sold separately.

The following guide will help you bring your Havesters Cult Elite Bodyguard to life with a dark, cult-appropriate colour scheme that suits a shadowy underworld warband.

1. Prime

• Apply a thin, even coat of grey or black primer to seal the resin surface and improve paint adhesion.

2. Armour Base

• Basecoat armour plates with a deep iron or dark steel colour such as Leadbelcher or equivalent.
• Apply a dark brown or black wash into recesses to define panel lines and add depth.

3. Trim and Details

• Paint robe and cloth areas with a muted ochre, ash grey, or dirty bone tone to suggest worn fabric.
• Highlight raised folds with a lighter mix of your chosen cloth colour for definition.

4. Weapons

• Paint the crescent staff totem in a dark bronze or verdigris tone to suggest ancient corrupted metal.
• Drybrush blade edges with bright silver to suggest sharpened, well-used weapons.

5. Weathering

• Stipple on rust streaks using a sponge with orange-brown paint around lower armour edges.
• Add light scratches and chips with a fine brush and a pale grey or off-white colour.

6. Bases

• Texture the base with fine grit paste or scatter, paint it in dark stone tones, and finish with a subtle dry brush of pale grey or sand to tie the miniature to your broader warband basing scheme.
