The Doomsday Infantry Squad (build kit)

The Doomsday Infantry Squad arrives as a five-model physical resin miniature build kit, 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.

The kit comes in 39 parts and measures 32mm from feet to eyes. Each trooper is built from a modular system of 31 unique components, giving you 5 bodies, 5 heads, 27 hands and weapons options, and 2 backpacks to combine as you see fit. Weapon choices span heavy stubbers, plasma guns, lascarbines, autopistols, and blades, letting you tailor every soldier to your preferred battlefield role. The heads range from masked respirators to goggled open-face sculpts, each carrying that worn, ground-level fatigue that fits right into a grimdark warzone.

Sculpted by DakkaDakka, the Doomsday Infantry Squad sits alongside the Heavy Fire Support Squad and other entries in the Doomsday range, sharing the same rugged aesthetic and modular build philosophy.

This kit is ideal for hobbyists looking to field a customisable infantry unit with meaningful visual variety across the squad. Every part is designed to fit cleanly and assemble without fuss, leaving you free to focus on posing and painting rather than prep work.

The grimdark palette of this squad rewards earthy, muted tones, heavy washes, and selective edge highlighting. The modular construction means you can prime and basecoat sub-assemblies before final gluing for easier access to recessed areas.

1. Prime

• Apply a grey or black spray prime across all parts before assembly to ensure full coverage in recessed areas.

2. Armour Base

• Basecoat the fatigues and coat panels in a dark grey-green such as Castellan Green or Dark Angels Green.
• Apply Uniform Grey or Mechanicus Standard Grey to armour plates for contrast against the cloth.

3. Trim and Details

• Pick out belt buckles, pouches, and equipment straps in a leather brown such as Rhinox Hide, then drybrush lightly with Mournfang Brown.
• Use a dark steel metallic on clasps, vents, and respirator fittings.

4. Weapons

• Basecoat gun bodies in Abaddon Black and drybrush with Leadbelcher to suggest worn metal.
• For plasma coils or energy cells, apply a deep blue base such as Macragge Blue and layer up to an Electric Blue highlight at the tip.

5. Weathering

• Apply Agrax Earthshade or Nuln Oil over the entire model, letting it pool in recesses to deepen shadows across armour and cloth.
• Stipple thinned Typhus Corrosion or Rhinox Hide around boots and lower legs to suggest mud and field wear.

6. Bases

• Use a rubble and ash texture paste in grey tones, then drybrush with Administratum Grey and add a static grass tuft at the edge for a ruined-warzone feel that matches the grim tone of the squad.

This is an adult hobbyist collectible, not a toy. Not suitable for children under 14 years due to small, detailed parts.
