“The gun fires until the barrels glow, then it fires some more. Ash settles on hot metal and hisses; nobody has heard it stop long enough to notice silence.”
The Doomsday Heavy Fire Support Squad arrives as a five-model physical resin set, sculpted with an exceptional level of grimdark detail and ready to assemble and paint straight out of the box. Supports have already been removed and surfaces cleaned, so you can get straight to the hobby the moment it lands on your doorstep. Each model measures 32mm from feet to eyes, giving this crew a suitably menacing and authoritative presence on the battlefield.
Supplied unpainted.
This squad is built for sustained, punishing fire. The set includes a dual-barrelled field cannon mounted behind sandbag emplacements with a gunner crouching at the breach, a commanding officer in long coat and goggles barking orders with binoculars at his belt, a two-man rocket launcher team with a heavy backpack launcher and a loader readying the next round, and a mortar crew member seated low, guiding a shell into the tube with one hand pressed to his helmet. Every pose tells a story of coordinated heavy weapons discipline under fire.
Sculpted by DakkaDakka, The Doomsday Heavy Fire Support Squad comes packed with character across all 25 parts. The long coats, stahlhelm-style helmets, gas masks, leather harnesses, ammo crates, and sandbag basing elements combine to create a cohesive and grimly atmospheric unit that will stand out in any collection or on any tabletop.
Bases are included. Models arrive cleaned and ready for assembly with plastic-compatible or resin adhesive, then painting to your preference.
Painting Guide: The Doomsday Heavy Fire Support SquadThis squad rewards a disciplined, muted palette with careful weathering. The following guide will help you bring out the grim character in every model.
1. Prime
- Apply a grey or black zenithal prime to define shadow and light before any colour is applied.
2. Armour Base
- Base coat all coats and fatigues in a mid-tone field green such as Castellan Green or Uniform Green.
- Apply a darker shade such as Athonian Camoshade into recesses and folds for depth.
3. Trim and Details
- Pick out leather straps and harnesses with a warm brown such as Rhinox Hide, highlighted with Mournfang Brown.
- Paint helmets in a slightly cooler olive tone to separate them from the coats, then apply a thin wash of Agrax Earthshade.
4. Weapons
- Base the cannon, mortar, and launcher bodies in Mechanicus Standard Grey, shaded with Nuln Oil.
- Drybrush raised edges lightly with Administratum Grey to simulate worn metal.
5. Weathering
- Use a sponge and Rhinox Hide to stipple chips and battle damage across coats, helmets, and weapon housings.
- Add rust streaks to the cannon wheels and mortar base plate using Skrag Brown thinned with water.
6. Bases
- Paint sandbags in Karak Stone, wash with Agrax Earthshade, and drybrush with Ushabti Bone. Paint ammo crates in a dark military green, then chip and weather to match the crew.
This is an adult hobbyist collectible, not a toy. Not suitable for children under 14 years due to small, detailed parts.
