Kommandant C. Kroenenger - 29mm Resin Miniature

Kommandant C. Kroenenger is a single resin miniature depicting a battle-hardened imperial officer standing 29mm from feet to eyes, arriving physically printed, supports already removed, and cleaned ready to assemble and paint. He cuts an imposing silhouette in a long greatcoat with epaulette trim, boots planted wide on a rubble base scattered with a fallen helmet and skull. One arm extends forward in a commanding gesture while the other bears a heavy mechanical power fist, its knuckle plates worn and angular. Medals and a cross-body leather strap decorate his chest, and a holstered sidearm sits at his hip alongside bundled rope or cord detail at the waist. The face is the centrepiece of the sculpt, dominated by a thick moustache and a bionic eye implant that marks him as a veteran of long and brutal campaigns.

Supplied unpainted.

Sculpted by DakkaDakka, the piece comes in six parts including the main body, the mechanical fist arm, a backpack power unit with exhaust tube, an alternative weapon option, and a detailed scenic base insert. Assembly is straightforward and the parts align cleanly. The base insert features the downed helmet, skull, and rocky debris that position Kroenenger as a figure literally standing over the enemy.

At 29mm to the eyes he scales correctly alongside standard 28 to 32mm grimdark infantry and command figures. He works as a centrepiece commander for a regiment, a warlord proxy for skirmish play, or a display piece in his own right. The sculpt rewards careful painting with its clearly separated layers of coat, armour, leather, and mechanical detail.

The following guide is written for hobbyists working in layers with standard acrylic miniature paints.

1. Prime

• Apply a black spray primer across the whole model. This deepens the coat and mechanical arm naturally and reduces the number of shadow layers needed on dark surfaces.

2. Armour Base

• Base the greatcoat in a dark grey such as Mechanicus Standard Grey, then shade with a black wash to define the folds.
• Highlight raised edges with a lighter grey mixed with a small amount of blue to keep the coat cold in tone.

3. Trim and Details

• Paint epaulette trim and medal fittings in a steel metallic, then wash with a dark brown ink to age them.
• Pick out the bionic eye with a deep red or amber gem effect to draw attention to the face.

4. Weapons

• Base the mechanical power fist in Leadbelcher, wash heavily with Nuln Oil, and edge highlight with Ironbreaker on the knuckle ridges.
• Paint the holstered pistol and sidearm grip in a dark brown leather tone, highlighted with a tan mix on raised areas.

5. Weathering

• Stipple chipped paint effects onto the greatcoat edges using a sponge and a dark green or brown grey mix to suggest field wear.
• Apply a light drybrushing of bone or cream over the skull and rocky base insert to lift the debris details.

6. Bases

• Paint the rubble in grey stone tones, wash with a brown shade, and drybrush with a pale grey. Paint the fallen helmet in the same scheme as the officer's coat to tie the base to the figure.
