This WarpLand miniature brings the desperate craft of survival medicine to your tabletop. The Healer's Shroud is a modular resin terrain piece depicting a crude field shelter erected by wandering wound-menders, bone-setters, and void-touched herbalists who ply their grim trade across the blighted wastes of Arkanar and the fetid bogs of The Grunge. Measuring 135 x 137mm at the base and standing 87mm tall, this detailed set assembles from 33 individual parts to create a richly textured encampment worthy of the darkest corners of a post-apocalyptic dark fantasy campaign.
The tent itself is stitched from salvaged hides and knotted with fraying cord, its crooked bamboo poles lashed together against the shrieking winds that scour the wasteland. Scattered bones litter the base, testament to the patients who never left. Skulls adorn the entrance posts as warnings or offerings depending on who is asking. Ceramic pots, crude stone implements, a flickering flame, carved stone masks, and bundled fetishes fill out the interior scatter, telling a story of improvised ritual and desperate care on the fringes of a dying world. The canopy separates cleanly from the modular wall sections, allowing you to present the interior fully accessible to your players during encounters.
Whether this shelter belongs to a wandering Morlock shaman, a rogue Technocrat experimenting with pre-war remedies, or a void-touched warlock who trades healing for service, the Healer's Shroud adapts to any dark narrative you bring to the table. The 33-part kit includes hanging banners, rope details, tusks, pots, masks, bones, weapon racks, and scatter items, giving you everything needed to dress the scene to your exact vision. Compatible with 28 to 32mm scale figures throughout the WarpLand range and beyond.
Supplied unpainted in high-detail grey resin. Requires assembly and painting. Suitable for ages 15 and over. Resin dust hazard: sand and clean in a well-ventilated space.
Painting Guide: Healer's ShroudThe palette for this piece should feel sun-bleached, blood-stained, and reeking of ash. Lean into organic browns, sickly yellows, and the dull grey of old bone to sell the WarpLand miniature as a relic of hardship rather than craft.
1. Prime
- Prime the fully assembled or sub-assembled parts with a grey or bone-coloured spray primer for maximum detail retention across the intricate rope and cloth textures.
2. Tent and Hides Base
- Basecoat the tent panels with a warm mid-brown such as Zandri Dust or a comparable ochre tone.
- Wash heavily with a dark brown or sepia tone to pool into folds and stitching lines, then drybrush the raised surfaces back up with a pale bone colour to suggest sun-bleached, worn hide.
3. Wooden Poles and Rope Details
- Paint all bamboo poles and lashed supports with a desaturated khaki brown, then streak downward with thinned dark brown to simulate grain and grime.
- Pick out rope and cord in a slightly lighter frayed tan, washing with a diluted dark ink to emphasise the weave texture.
4. Scatter Items and Accessories
- Paint ceramic pots in earthy terracottas and muted greys with chipped edges picked out in near-black to suggest heavy use and age.
- Stone masks should be painted in pale grey with dark washes deepening the eye sockets and carved lines, finishing with a subtle green or teal tint to suggest mossy growth.
- The flame element benefits from a yellow-to-orange-to-red zenithal blend with a final thin glaze of fluorescent orange at the tips for a vivid glow effect.
5. Bones and Remains
- Basecoat all bone elements in a warm off-white such as Ushabti Bone, wash with a brown shade, then drybrush with pure white to bring up the sharpest edges and suggest dryness.
- Add subtle green or brown staining at the base of bones where they meet the ground to imply long exposure and decay.
6. Base and Ground
- The integrated scenic base suits a neutral wasteland scheme: drybrush the rocky ground in layered greys from dark charcoal up to pale ash, then add spots of dark brown wash into recesses for pooled filth. A final stipple of matte medium mixed with fine sand across flat areas will break up the surface and tie this WarpLand miniature into any grimdark tabletop environment.
