Loxodon Heavy APC, Sci-Fi Wargaming Miniatures

The Loxodon Heavy APC is a formidable armoured personnel carrier designed for the grim battlefields of the far future, where warfare is brutal, unrelenting, and fought on a scale that dwarfs anything humanity once knew. This physical resin miniature arrives with supports already removed, cleaned, and ready to assemble and paint. Built to carry warriors into the heart of enemy fire, its reinforced hull, layered track guards, and multiple weapon hardpoints speak to a vehicle engineered for survival in the most hostile war zones imaginable.

Each Loxodon Heavy APC is packed with surface detail that rewards careful painting. The hull features riveted panels, aquiline iconography, side access hatches, pintle-mounted weapons, sensor arrays, and exhaust vents across every surface. Multiple top-mounted weapon systems and hull sponson guns make this an imposing centrepiece for any sci-fi wargaming collection. The vehicle sits in the large vehicle scale, estimated at approximately 120mm to 140mm in length, and will command immediate attention on any tabletop battlefield.

Sculpted with exceptional detail by the team at Atlan Forge, this model suits collectors and competitive wargamers alike. It is compatible with popular 28mm to 32mm scale sci-fi wargaming systems and integrates naturally into forces built around heavily armoured human infantry factions. The Loxodon Heavy APC brings both tactical weight and visual gravitas to any army.

Whether you are building a display piece or a fully functional battlefield unit, this resin miniature offers outstanding depth for the experienced hobbyist. Every panel, hatch, and weapon mount is crisply rendered, giving painters a rich canvas to work with across every stage of the process.

This guide will help you get the best results from your Loxodon Heavy APC, taking it from bare resin to a fully battle-ready war machine worthy of the tabletop.

1. Prime

• Wash the resin in warm soapy water and allow to dry fully before priming.
• Apply a spray primer in grey or black for a grimdark tone, or white if you prefer brighter armour colours.

2. Armour Base

• Apply a basecoat of Mechanicus Standard Grey, Castellan Green, or a deep blue such as Kantor Blue depending on your chosen faction colours.
• Thin your paint slightly and work in smooth, even coats to preserve surface detail.

3. Trim and Details

• Pick out raised trim, rivets, and panel edges with a lighter shade of your base colour or a contrasting metallic such as Leadbelcher.
• Paint iconography and hatch details carefully with a fine brush using off-white or bone tones for aged parchment effects.

4. Weapons

• Basecoat all weapons in Leadbelcher or Boltgun Metal and wash with Nuln Oil for a worn steel look.
• Highlight weapon barrels and muzzles with Runefang Steel to suggest heat and wear.

5. Weathering

• Apply a wash of Agrax Earthshade or Nuln Oil across the entire hull to settle shadows into panel lines and recesses.
• Drybrush edges with a lighter grey or silver to simulate battle damage and worn paintwork. Add chipping effects with a sponge and dark brown paint for extra realism.

6. Bases

• Finish the base with texture paint, grit, or static grass to ground the model in its battlefield environment and complete the overall composition.
