A fusion of metal, grit, and sheer determination, the Mechanically Augmented Soldier Miniature by Papsikels from We Print Miniatures is the definition of battlefield survival in its rawest form. This Sci-fi miniature does not come from a pristine factory line or a high-tech military forge – it looks like it was born in the chaos of war and kept alive by scrap, salvage, and sheer willpower. Clad in mismatched armour plates and trailing exposed wiring, this soldier may be rough around the edges, but they’re ready to unleash a storm of lead with the towering machine gun mounted to their frame.
Everything about this figure tells a story of cobbled-together resilience. One shoulder plate might be salvaged from a long-dead mech, another hastily welded into place after a firefight. Wires snake across the limbs, more for function than finesse, and scorched panelwork suggests a lifetime of close calls. The result is a character that doesn’t just participate in your tabletop battles – they storm into them with a thunderous presence, bolts rattling and servos screaming as they bring raw firepower to bear.
Perfect for post-apocalyptic, industrial, or war-torn settings, this miniature slots naturally into factions where survival is a science, and technology is a patchwork art form. It’s easy to imagine them as a rogue AI construct repurposed for mercenary work, or an ex-soldier rebuilt by a desperate mechanic using whatever was lying around. Their imposing frame and sheer visual weight make them ideal as a heavy gunner, an enforcer, or a mechanical menace that lumbers through debris-filled corridors without hesitation.
Painters will find this model a gritty joy to work on. The range of surfaces – from weathered metal and rusted bolts to scorched wiring and mechanical joints – presents countless opportunities for creative detailing. Dry brushing, weathering powders, and rust effects are particularly well suited to this figure, allowing hobbyists to create a miniature that looks truly lived-in. Whether you envision gleaming industrial steel or battered salvage layered with grime and oil, the model is ready to reflect your chosen aesthetic.
Offered in 28mm, 32mm, 35mm, and a robust 55mm scale, the Mechanically Augmented Soldier adapts to a wide variety of tabletop roles. At smaller sizes, they can serve as a heavy trooper or bodyguard in games like Necromunda or Starfinder. In 55mm, they become a bold centrepiece for dioramas or competitive painting, where every scar and scuff can be brought to vivid life. True to Papsikels’ original design and faithfully produced by We Print Miniatures, this model captures the spirit of improvised survival and relentless aggression.
If your campaign needs a character who looks like they’ve been through every war and came out tougher with each bolt added, the Mechanically Augmented Soldier is ready to stomp into action. There’s no polish here – only purpose. And in a world of shiny machines and clean edges, that makes them something truly dangerous.
