Satellitum MechGuards Squad (x10) - Sci-Fi Wargaming Miniatures

The Satellitum MechGuards Squad (x10) brings ten heavily armoured sci-fi soldiers to your wargaming table, each cast in high-quality resin and delivered as a physical miniature ready to assemble and paint. These warriors are sculpted with layered combat armour, integrated respirator helmets, bulky backpack systems, and a varied arsenal of rifles, heavy weapons, and close-combat blades. The squad captures the brutal aesthetic of a grimdark future where discipline, firepower, and iron resolve are the only currencies that matter.

Each set contains ten unique poses across the squad, ensuring your force looks dynamic and cohesive on the battlefield rather than repetitive. Figures measure approximately 31mm from feet to eyes, fitting comfortably within standard 28-32mm wargaming scales. Models arrive with supports already removed and cleaned, presented on individual oval bases. Assembly is straightforward, with the set comprising 11 parts spread across the 10 models, meaning minimal build time before you can get straight to painting.

The Satellitum MechGuards Squad (x10) is ideal for players building a disciplined infantry core, collectors seeking grimdark soldier sculpts with strong character, or hobbyists who want a versatile unit that fits a range of sci-fi settings and rulesets. The detail across armour panels, equipment pouches, and weapon housings rewards careful brushwork at every skill level.

Sculpted by DakkaDakka, this squad is designed with painters and gamers in mind. Every surface offers clear, confident lines that hold washes cleanly and take drybrushing well.

Follow these steps to get the best results from your squad, whether you prefer a parade-ground finish or a battered, battlefield-worn look.

1. Prime

• Apply a thin, even coat of grey or black spray primer to all models before painting.
• Grey primer is ideal if you plan to use lighter armour colours, as it keeps mid-tones accurate.

2. Armour Base

• Block in your chosen armour colour across all plates. Steel grey, dark green, and deep blue all suit the aesthetic of the Satellitum MechGuards Squad (x10) well.
• Use thin coats to preserve the crisp panel lines and riveted detail.

3. Trim and Details

• Pick out helmet visors, respirator grilles, and equipment clasps in a contrasting colour such as bronze, red, or off-white.
• Paint pouches and fabric tabards in a muted earthy tone to break up the armour surface.

4. Weapons

• Basecoat all weapon barrels and stocks in a dark metallic or gunmetal tone.
• Apply a targeted wash of dark brown or black into recesses to define moving parts and vents.

5. Weathering

• Drybrush edges of armour plates with a lighter metallic tone to simulate wear and scratching.
• Add subtle rust or grime streaks with a thin brown wash applied selectively to lower armour sections and boots.

6. Bases

• Texture the oval bases with a mix of sand and gravel, paint dark grey or brown, then drybrush with a pale stone tone to suggest rubble or ash-covered ground.
