Swishing its stinging tail in a slow, deliberate arc, the Alien Xeno Burster 3 miniature by Papsikels from We Print Miniatures is a walking declaration of danger. Before it even makes a move, this alien predator projects an aura of menace that can unsettle even the most battle-hardened foes. Built for both intimidation and sudden violence, it excels in the art of psychological warfare, forcing enemies to second-guess every move and dread the inevitable moment it strikes. The combination of its powerful frame, deliberate pacing, and predatory posture ensures that it commands attention on any battlefield.
This Sci-fi miniature, true to Papsikels’ original design, blends bold presence with a touch of mystery. Its sculpt showcases carefully detailed anatomy, from the ridges along its back to the taut musculature in its limbs, each element reinforcing the sense of a creature evolved to dominate both physically and mentally. Ideal for tabletop systems such as Necromunda and Starfinder, the Alien Xeno Burster 3 is equally at home in sprawling alien landscapes, darkened industrial zones, or the close-quarters tension of urban ruins.
Painters will find the model rewarding to work on, with a range of surfaces that can be brought to life using either bright, exotic colour schemes or darker, more ominous tones. The sweeping tail provides a natural focal point, while the angular body and poised stance invite creative shading and highlighting to enhance its intimidating form. Whether you prefer a glossy, alien sheen or a matte, battle-worn finish, this miniature adapts well to a wide variety of painting styles.
On the tabletop, the Alien Xeno Burster 3 works as both a solitary terror and part of a coordinated hunting force. Alone, it can pressure opponents into making mistakes, control key areas, and deliver devastating strikes when the time is right. Within a group, it complements other units by drawing attention and fear, setting the stage for allies to exploit openings in the enemy’s defence. In narrative play, it can serve as a legendary beast, a bioengineered assassin, or a dangerous unknown entity discovered deep in hostile territory.
Available in 28mm, 32mm, 35mm, 55mm, and 75mm scales, the Alien Xeno Burster 3 fits seamlessly into both Sci-fi and fantasy games. In Dungeons and Dragons, it could easily be reimagined as a planar predator or the guardian of a forbidden relic. For hobbyists, games masters, and collectors, it offers a combination of presence, versatility, and tactical impact that makes it a standout addition to any miniature collection.
