Nekramoroi Exsanguinators - 32mm Resin Miniatures

The Nekramoroi Exsanguinators are a squad of five heavily armoured chaos warriors clad in ornate, skull-encrusted plate, each carrying brutal close-combat weapons and sidearms that leave no doubt about their purpose on the battlefield. Sculpted by Atlan Forge, these 32mm resin miniatures arrive as physical, pre-printed figures with supports already removed and surfaces cleaned, ready to assemble and paint straight from the box.

Each warrior in the squad carries a distinct weapon loadout. The unit includes figures armed with large serrated chain-blades, spiked polearms with toothed heads, and multi-barrelled pistols, giving the group a varied silhouette that looks imposing both on the shelf and across the tabletop. Bat-wing pauldrons, chains wrapped around gauntleted fists, cascading skull iconography across chest plates, and tattered fabric hanging from waist guards all contribute to a deeply characterful aesthetic rooted in corrupted, gothic excess.

The level of surface detail is exceptional. Recessed panels, layered plate joints, bone-and-chain adornments, and textured skin visible on exposed faces reward careful painters who enjoy picking out fine detail with a fine brush. Whether you are building a display warband or fielding a tabletop unit, these figures hold up well at close range.

Squad size: 5 miniatures. Scale: 32mm heroic. Supplied unpainted and may require minor assembly. Glue and paint sold separately.

This guide is written for intermediate painters working in acrylics, though the steps translate well to any wet palette workflow. The Nekramoroi Exsanguinators reward a high-contrast approach that makes the skull motifs and weapon edges pop under table lighting.

1. Prime

• Apply a black primer coat for maximum contrast depth in recessed areas.
• Follow with a zenithal highlight of grey or bone from above to pre-shade the raised surfaces before applying colour.

2. Armour Base

• Base coat the armour panels in a deep charcoal or dark iron, such as Vallejo Model Air Steel Grey or Citadel Abaddon Black.
• Layer in a cold dark blue-grey on the flat panel centres to suggest tarnished metal with a faint otherworldly hue.

3. Trim and Details

• Paint ornamental trim, shoulder wings, and scroll work in tarnished brass or aged gold using a base of Citadel Hashut Copper or Vallejo Brassy Brass.
• Wash the trim with Agrax Earthshade to settle colour into recesses and kill any shine.

4. Weapons

• Base coat chain-blade teeth and axe edges in a mid-steel tone, then edge highlight with a bright silver such as Citadel Runefang Steel.
• Add a thin glaze of Citadel Carroburg Crimson toward the blade roots to suggest dried blood caked into the serrations.

5. Weathering

• Apply a thin pin wash of black over all panel lines and recessed skull details using a 1:3 wash-to-medium ratio.
• Drybrush the entire model lightly with a pale silver to lift edge wear and reinforce the battle-worn look across armour surfaces.

6. Bases

• Texture the base with a dark ashen paste or grey pumice, drybrush with a pale bone colour, and add a few clumps of dead static grass or tufts to suggest a blighted, desolate environment that suits the squad's character.
