The Doomsday Infantry Squad (x10)

The Doomsday Infantry Squad arrives as a ten-model physical resin miniature 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. Each model measures 32mm from feet to eyes.

The squad captures the grim, battered aesthetic of a frontline infantry force that has seen too many warzones and lived to tell about it. The ten distinct poses cover the full range of battlefield roles: riflemen advancing under fire, a hulking sergeant standing firm with sword drawn, a crouching flamethrower operative surrounded by sculpted flames and enemy skulls, a vox operator hunkered over their equipment, a hooded marksman, and several hard-bitten troopers armed with heavy autorifles. Gasmasks, goggled helmets, bulky backpack rigs and worn greatcoats tie the unit together into a cohesive and characterful force.

Sculpted by DakkaDakka, The Doomsday Infantry Squad is built to slot into any grimdark tabletop force that calls for well-armed, world-weary line infantry with plenty of personality.

The palette below leans into a cold, industrial aesthetic that suits the squad's exhausted, veteran character. Adapt freely to match your existing force colours.

1. Prime

• Apply a thin, even coat of grey or black primer across all models. Grey primer is recommended for lighter colour schemes; black for darker, more shadow-heavy results.

2. Armour Base

• Basecoat armour plates in a deep neutral such as Mechanicus Standard Grey or Castellan Green for a more field-worn military look.
• Block in greatcoats and cloth layers with a warm grey, dark khaki, or muted brown to separate them visually from the hard armour pieces.

3. Trim and Details

• Paint buckles, clasps, vox equipment, and backpack machinery in Leadbelcher or a similarly dark silver. A touch of Balthasar Gold on small fittings adds visual interest without overpowering the palette.
• Skin on the bare-faced models responds well to a Cadian Fleshtone base, washed with Reikland Fleshshade and highlighted back up with Kislev Flesh.

4. Weapons

• Basecoat autorifles and heavy weapons in Abaddon Black or Corvus Black, then drybrush lightly with Ironbreaker to pick out barrel edges and mechanical surfaces.
• For the flamethrower model, paint the flame effect in a gradient from Averland Sunset at the base through Troll Slayer Orange to Wraithbone at the tips for a vivid, dynamic result.

5. Weathering

• Apply a wash of Nuln Oil across armour, weapons, and equipment to deepen recesses and add grime. Agrax Earthshade works well over cloth and leather areas.
• Drybrush edges of armour plates and boot tops with Dawnstone or Administratum Grey to simulate scuffs and wear. Add small chips by stippling Rhinox Hide followed by Ironbreaker on high-wear surfaces.

6. Bases

• The sculpted bases already feature rubble and skull details. Paint them with a Rhinox Hide base, drybrush with Karak Stone, then pick out skulls individually in Ushabti Bone and wash with Agrax Earthshade for a bleak, battlefield finish.
