Miniatures to Paint · Miniaturia Caledonian Boar Army

The Army of the Caledonian Boar is the catalogue's wild-hunt warband: boar warriors and a war-boar rider that paint up beautifully in earth tones. If the infernal legions are about armour and sigils, this set is about fur, tusk and muscle — organic surfaces that forgive a fast paint job and reward a patient one.

We print the army in resin in our Wrocław workshop under Clay Cyanide's merchant licence, clean and cure every figure, and take the supports off faces, fur and tusks before packing. Scale options are listed on each product page for tabletop or display use.

Figures arrive unpainted, ready for priming — collector's models rather than toys, each with its own safety information on the listing.

This is the most forgiving set in the shop to paint: fur, hide and tusk all respond to the oldest tricks in the case — a dark base, a heavy drybrush, a wash, and the model is table-ready in an evening. Then, if the warband earns it, go back in with warpaint patterns and the odd trophy in a bright colour to lift the earth tones.

The whole range is printed to order and ships across the EU, with parcel lockers in Poland; each figure is dispatched within 5–10 business days. Missing a beast from this warband? Ask us about it.

The warband, figure by figure: ten 32 mm boar warriors — the Boar Cannoneer with his hand-cannon, the twin-axed Boar Fighter, the Boar Musician on his war drum, the Boar Paladin with morning star and shield, the Boar Barbarian and his greataxe, the cleaver-wielding Boar Executioner in a butcher's apron, the Boar Defender behind a carved knotwork shield, the axe-and-shield Boar Warrior, the Boar Berserker swinging a spiked morning star overhead, and the heavy Boar Basher. Above them rides the Boar Leader, a chieftain mounted on a war boar, at 50 mm.

The eleven-figure bundle holds the whole army, and the sculpting throughout is Clay Cyanide's, licensed to us for printing. In games, the drummer and the cannoneer give a unit character and a reason to stay together, the Defender holds the line, and the Leader is the piece everyone else is protecting. Painted as one project, the army is also a good long build: ten figures share a palette, so each one goes faster than the last, and the Leader is the reward at the end.

The Boar Leader is a multi-part model, rider and mount, so dry-fit the pieces before reaching for glue; a cyanoacrylate glue suited to resin and a minute of steady pressure give a firmer joint than a thick blob ever will.

Each warrior carries one detail that rewards a little extra time. The Defender's carved knotwork shield takes a dark wash and a light drybrush to make the pattern stand up; the Musician's drum has a rim and lacing that look best against a pale drumskin; the Cannoneer's hand-cannon can go blackened iron, with the cannonballs on his base to match; and the Executioner's butcher's apron is the place for stained leather. The Leader's harness fittings and his mount's tusks deserve the brightest metal and bone in the whole army. For bases, the Caledonian name suggests moorland — heather, peat and grey stone — which suits the earth tones of the warband and lets the warpaint stand out.
