WarpLand miniature - Warlock - 31mm Resin Miniature

This WarpLand miniature brings a sinister dark sorcerer to your tabletop, sculpted by Taiga Miniatures with exceptional detail across robes, arcane staff, and eldritch flame. Standing 31mm from feet to eyes, this single-model release depicts a menacing warlock striding forward with purpose, one hand gripping a twisted staff topped with a small bat creature, and the other raised high wielding a skull lantern crackling with supernatural fire. The flowing robes, layered shoulder mantle, and ornate eye-motif belt buckle give the figure a commanding presence on any battlefield.

Supplied unpainted.

Every WarpLand miniature in this range is produced in high-quality resin, supplied with supports already removed and surfaces cleaned, arriving ready to assemble and paint straight from the package. The sculpt captures a brooding necromantic aesthetic with strong silhouette and crisp surface detail, making it suitable for use as a villain, boss character, or elite magic user in any grimdark or dark fantasy wargame setting.

The figure ships on a round base and is compatible with standard 32mm base sizes. Squad size is one model. Designed by Taiga Miniatures, a studio known for expressive character sculpts that reward careful painting.

Whether you are building a narrative warband or hunting for a centrepiece spell-caster to anchor your collection, this WarpLand miniature delivers both quality and character in equal measure.

The painted studio version uses deep purples, rich reds, and glowing teal tones to great effect. The guide below follows a similar approach and is aimed at intermediate painters.

1. Prime

• Apply a black or dark grey primer all over for maximum shadow retention in the deep robe folds.
• Consider a zenithal highlight with white or light grey from above to pre-shade before painting begins.

2. Armour Base

• Base the robes in a deep purple such as Naggaroth Night or Xereus Purple, building up to Genestealer Purple on raised folds.
• Paint the inner lining and cape underside in a dark red such as Mephiston Red, highlighted towards Evil Sunz Scarlet.

3. Trim and Details

• Pick out the shoulder armour panels in a cool grey, highlighted with white to suggest aged bone or pale stone.
• Paint the belt and buckle in a warm gold such as Retributor Armour, shaded with Agrax Earthshade and edge-highlighted with Liberator Gold.

4. Weapons

• Paint the twisted staff in greens, blending from Caliban Green at the base up to Moot Green at the edges to suggest a venomous or magical wood.
• For the skull lantern, basecoat in white, glaze with Aethermatic Blue, and drybrush lightly with white again to create a cool spectral flame effect.

5. Weathering

• Apply a thin wash of Druchii Violet over the robe to unify shadows and deepen the purple tones.
• Use a fine brush to stipple a little Typhus Corrosion on the staff base and boot soles to suggest wear and grime.

6. Bases

• Apply texture paint in a dark grey or brown, drybrush with a light stone colour, and add a few small rocky fragments to match the dark cavern aesthetic shown in the studio images.

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

WarpLand is a dark science fantasy setting by Gavriel Quiroga. The models suit any 28mm skirmish or roleplaying system, and the book is worth reading for the world alone.
