Miniatures to Paint · Miniaturia Grigori Watchers

The Grigori — the fallen watchers — are the winged centrepieces of the figure catalogue: angels after the fall, sculpted between ruin and grace. Great wings, broken halos and drawn blades give painters the two things a display piece needs — silhouette you can read across a room, and detail that holds up when someone leans in.

Each watcher is resin-printed in our Wrocław workshop under Clay Cyanide's merchant licence, cleaned, cured and checked, supports removed from wings and faces before packing. Scale options are listed per product; the larger prints in this set are genuine shelf pieces.

Models arrive unpainted, ready for priming. They are collector's figures, not toys, and every listing carries its own safety information.

Paint them the way the sculpt is built: wings first, everything else after. A zenithal prime gives the feathers their sorting for free, and choosing where the light comes from — above for grace, below for menace — decides the whole model's mood before the first real layer goes down. The halos and blades then only need restraint, not fireworks.

We print to order — orders are dispatched within 5–10 business days — and ship across the EU, with parcel-locker delivery in Poland.

The ten are the Watchers of the Book of Enoch, and each sculpt is built around the forbidden knowledge that tradition credits him with: Araqiel and the signs of the earth, Azazel the Forge-Fallen and the making of weapons, Ezeqeel and the clouds, Gadreel the Fallen and the blows of death, Kasdeja and the smiting of spirits, Kokabel and the stars, Penemue and the written word, Samjaza, who led the oath on Mount Hermon, Sariel and the course of the moon, and Shamsiel and the signs of the sun. All ten are Clay Cyanide's display sculptures, which we print under licence, and the bundle collects the full set.

Those attributes suggest palettes on their own: night blues and silver for Kokabel and Sariel, warm gold for Shamsiel, storm greys for Ezeqeel, forge reds for Azazel. Samjaza, the oath-leader, makes a natural centre for the row, and a shelf of all ten painted this way reads as a sequence rather than a crowd.

Treat them as the fragile showpieces they are: feather tips, halo rays and crowns are thin, so lift each Watcher by the base, never by a wing, and give the set a closed cabinet if you can — glass keeps dust off detail that a brush would struggle to reach. Keep that cabinet out of direct sun as well, since cured resin dislikes long exposure to sunlight and heat above 50 °C.

Each Watcher is built around a focal point of its own. Samjaza has a great eye and figures intertwined within his wings, Azazel a wheel-and-gear mandala with eyes on the wings, Gadreel an eye in a gear rosette ringed with blades, Kasdeja a ring of fangs around an eye, Kokabel owl-like feathers and star orbs, Penemue a gaping maw under halo rays, Sariel a crown and an eye on the chest, Shamsiel a radiant sunburst, Ezeqeel storm swirls through spread wings, and Araqiel a skull visage. Decide on that focal point before the first coat, spend your strongest contrast there, and let the feathers around it stay calm. Thin glazes rather than thick layers keep the sculpted detail around those focal points crisp.
