Space Dwarf ExoRigger Powersuit Guard | 32mm

The Space Dwarf ExoRigger Powersuit Guard is a battle-hardened warrior clad in a hulking mechanical exo-suit, bristling with industrial power and grim purpose. These stocky, broad-shouldered fighters wear layered resin armour driven by mechanical rigs that amplify their already formidable strength, turning each soldier into a walking fortress. Sculpted at 32mm scale, every figure in this set captures the weight and menace of a front-line veteran who has survived the void and come back angrier for it.

This set contains five infantry-scale Space Dwarf ExoRigger Powersuit Guard figures, each posed in a distinct combat stance with varied melee and ranged loadouts including a circular shield, a broad-bladed sword, and a heavy spiked mace. Two larger centrepiece variants are also shown, wearing expanded rigs with multiple mechanical arms, gatling-style sidearms, and a chainblade attachment, making them ideal for squad leaders or elite heavy support roles. All models arrive as physical resin miniatures with supports already removed, ready to assemble and paint.

Designed for grimdark sci-fi skirmish games and large-scale wargaming alike, these miniatures fit seamlessly into any faction built around armoured short-statured warriors fighting across distant industrial wastelands, derelict space stations, or blasted mining colonies. The mechanical aesthetic draws on deep-forge tradition and cold-void engineering, giving the squad a look that feels both ancient and brutally functional. This piece was sculpted by Super Massive Space Dwarfs, whose work brings the industrial menace of these void-hardened warriors to life with exceptional detail.

Each Space Dwarf ExoRigger Powersuit Guard figure rewards careful hobby work. The exo-rig plating, exposed mechanical joints, and scarred facial details all respond beautifully to layered painting techniques, washes, and edge highlights, giving hobbyists at every skill level something satisfying to work with.

This guide walks you through a grimdark industrial colour scheme suited to void-hardened armoured infantry.

1. Prime

• Apply a grey or black zenithal prime to establish depth across the mechanical panels and recessed joints.
• A light grey dusting from above helps define the raised plating before any colour is applied.

2. Armour Base

• Base coat the exo-rig plating in a deep steel blue or cold iron grey for a utilitarian void-fleet look.
• Alternatively, a burnt orange or deep green gives a mining-corps aesthetic that suits the industrial theme.

3. Trim and Details

• Pick out mechanical joints, bolts, and rig cables in a darker metallic such as gunmetal or bronze.
• Use a fine detail brush on the face and helmet straps to separate skin tones from the surrounding armour.

4. Weapons

• Paint bladed weapons in a bright silver, then apply a brown wash to suggest age and dried residue in the fuller.
• The spiked mace head benefits from stippled rust tones applied over a dark basecoat for a brutal, worn finish.

5. Weathering

• Apply a dark brown or black wash across all recesses to push depth into panel lines and mechanical cavities.
• Drybrush raised edges lightly with a pale silver or off-white to simulate battle wear and edge scuffing on the rig plating.

6. Bases

• Textured paste in a grey or ash tone suits a derelict industrial setting. Add small resin debris or grit for scale.
• Finish with a matte varnish to protect the miniature and reduce shine across the armour panels.
