Sunshine - Sun Priest

The Forgotten Champions roster gains a radiant and unsettling new presence with Sunshine, the Sun Priest. Blindfolded and arms outstretched, she channels the dying light of a fractured star, her spiked solar crown a relic of an ancient order that once ruled the scorched highlands. Sculpted by Haito, this single-model kit captures an elven aesthetic steeped in ceremonial dread and quiet authority.

Her layered robes cascade from shoulder to base in dramatic sweeping folds, adorned with hanging rings, ritual pendants, and quilted armour panels that speak of a warrior-priest prepared for both sermon and slaughter. Birds perch at each outstretched hand, silent messengers of a sun that no longer rises cleanly. Every surface rewards careful brushwork, from the deep recesses of her draped sleeves to the geometric facets of her crown.

This resin miniature stands approximately 32mm to eye level and is supplied unpainted and unassembled. It is ideal for collectors and competitive players seeking a centrepiece support model within the Forgotten Champions range. Sculpted with exceptional detail by Haito, Sunshine demands a place at the heart of any elite warband.

Contents: 1 x Sunshine Sun Priest resin miniature, 1 x round scenic base. Suitable for ages 15 and over. Resin model requires preparation and painting. Not a toy.

Sunshine rewards a warm, sun-bleached palette with touches of ancient gold and ceremonial grime. This guide will help you bring her to life as a commanding presence among your Forgotten Champions collection.

1. Prime

• Apply a zenithal prime using white over a grey base coat to pre-shade the flowing robes and establish natural light direction from above

2. Armour Base

• Base coat robes and hood in Ushabti Bone or Wraithbone for a sun-bleached linen effect
• Apply a thin wash of Seraphim Sepia into recesses to define the heavy fabric folds

3. Trim and Details

• Paint the solar crown and hanging ornaments with Retributor Armour, then layer with Liberator Gold for a warm ceremonial finish
• Shade gold areas with Reikland Fleshshade to push depth into the angular facets of the crown

4. Weapons

• Pick out the birds and ritual talismans with Zandri Dust, washing gently with Agrax Earthshade to suggest age and use
• Highlight beaks and claws with Screaming Skull for a sharp contrast against the pale robes

5. Weathering

• Drybrush robe hems lightly with Pallid Wych Flesh to suggest dust and wear from long desert campaigns
• Add subtle rust streaks below the metal rings using thinned Troll Slayer Orange and a fine brush, keeping effects minimal for a refined look befitting a Forgotten Champions hero

6. Bases

• Drybrush the cracked stone base with Administratum Grey over a Mechanicus Standard Grey base coat, finish with a final edge highlight of White Scar on the sharpest raised edges
