Iron Lords (x5) - 32mm Resin Miniatures

Iron Lords (x5) are a set of five heavily armoured warrior miniatures sculpted by Taiga Miniatures, each standing at approximately 32mm scale and cast in high-detail resin. These physical miniatures arrive with supports already removed, cleaned, and ready to assemble and paint straight out of the box. Inspired by brutal dark-age warlords and shield-bearing heavy infantry, each figure radiates grim authority and battlefield menace.

The squad of five includes a commanding pair of larger warlord figures bearing swords and round shields, alongside three leaner warriors clad in lamellar armour and horned helmets. Every sculpt features richly textured scale armour, studded belts, greaves, and finely detailed facial expressions ranging from stoic resolve to open aggression. The round shields carry raised boss details and decorative studs, offering excellent surface area for freehand work or transfers. The variety of dynamic and static poses gives the unit visual depth when ranked up on a gaming table.

Whether fielded as a front-line infantry unit, a warband of savage enforcers, or elite veterans in a grimdark skirmish game, the Iron Lords (x5) deliver exceptional sculpt quality at wargaming scale. Each base is an oval 25mm by 50mm format, consistent across the full set, ensuring easy integration with most popular rulesets and army trays.

Supplied unprimed and unpainted. Superglue is recommended for any assembly. Painting miniatures of this quality is a deeply rewarding hobby pursuit and these models reward patient layering and careful shading techniques.

This guide will help you bring your Iron Lords (x5) to life with a gritty, battle-worn finish suited to their grimdark warrior aesthetic.

1. Prime

• Apply a thin, even coat of grey or black spray primer across all surfaces.
• Ensure recesses and undercuts are fully covered before moving on.

2. Armour Base

• Basecoat the scale armour with a deep steel grey or dark iron tone.
• Use a flat brush and work methodically across each armour plate for clean coverage.

3. Trim and Details

• Pick out belt straps, tunic folds, and leather elements in a warm brown basecoat.
• Add a lighter mid-tone highlight to raised fabric edges to create separation from the armour.

4. Weapons

• Paint sword blades with a bright silver, then apply a thin wash of dark tone to the fuller groove.
• Handle wrappings can be painted in dark leather brown with a dry-brushed highlight.

5. Weathering

• Apply a heavy wash of dark brown or black ink across the entire model, letting it pool in recesses.
• Dry-brush raised armour edges with a light metallic to simulate worn iron and battlefield damage.

6. Bases

• Texture paste or fine sand applied with PVA gives a convincing muddy battlefield ground effect.
• Finish with tufts of dry grass or scorched static grass for a grim, desolate feel.
