Across the Realms Miniatures UK: A Community-Driven Sci-Fi and Fantasy Studio

Some designers pick a lane and stay in it. Across the Realms does the opposite. Every month their community votes on the next direction, which is why their catalogue reads like a collaborative fever dream: battle-hardened nuns with shockrifles, vampire lords, she-orc rhinox riders, and retro-future robots, all pressed in crisp resin at 28/32mm. We stock a wide selection at TabletopXtra, and every time a new batch lands it covers a different corner of the tabletop hobby.

We stock the range in ready-to-paint resin, shipped UK-wide. If you've been after Across the Realms miniatures UK without the need for a printer, this is the straightforward way to get them.

Who Are Across the Realms?

Across the Realms is a Romanian miniature design studio built on a community-first model. Rather than a single designer dictating each monthly theme, patrons pitch ideas and vote on what gets sculpted next. The result is a catalogue that genuinely reflects what hobbyists want on the table: grimdark sci-fi warbands, gothic vampire courts, pirate coves, orc hunting parties, and quite a bit else besides.

They have an active presence on MyMiniFactory for digital STL files, and a long-running Patreon where supporters get early access and shape upcoming themes. At TabletopXtra we handle the print side: resin prints shipped UK-wide, covering everything from individual character pieces to full squad sets and vehicles.

Because the community sets the direction, Across the Realms releases don't follow a single genre or game system. Each month is its own thing. The catalogue rewards browsing rather than assuming you already know what's there.

Battle Nuns — The Across the Realms Miniatures That Started It All

Ask a regular Across the Realms collector which range defines the studio and most will say Battle Nuns without hesitation. A full sci-fi warband of heavily armed religious warriors, presupported for resin and sculpted with enough variety to build a proper layered force from the units alone.

The range covers every role a wargame list could need. Core infantry comes from the Shockrifle Squad (from £6.49) and the Gatling Shockrifle Squad. Heavier support comes from the Magma Cannon Squad and the Heavy Machine Gun Squad, plus Flamethrower units for close-range work. Character models include the Mother Hegumeni (from £7.99), the Prioress, and the Mother Apothecary for support roles. For something bigger, the Holy Retributor Battlesuit (from £9.99) brings armoured firepower to the centre of the table.

Stylistically these are grimdark sci-fi with strong religious iconography: armour plating, devotional detail, practical gear. They make convincing proxies for Sisters of Battle-style armies, and the sculpt quality holds up well when painted. Zenithal priming picks out the surface detail cleanly, and the detail carries through to tabletop standard without much effort.

There are also pin-up variants within the Battle Nuns line for collectors who want display pieces alongside their wargaming squads. These sit alongside the core combat units rather than replacing them. The wargaming range is extensive enough to build a complete force on its own.

Guns, Grace & Steel — Ready for Trench Crusade

Across the Realms built their Guns, Grace & Steel range specifically for the growing Trench Crusade community. The aesthetic is dirtier and more low-tech than Battle Nuns: arquebusiers, steam tanks, and armoured crusader knights that fit the setting's religious horror tone without looking borrowed from anyone else's catalogue.

Infantry options include the Arquebusier Squad, Paladin Nuns, Steel Cleaver Nuns, and Crusader Knights, all from £6.49. The Steam Tank (£29.99) and the Bulldog Main Battle Tank (£36.99) cover vehicle support if your games use armour. The Space Retro Future sub-range adds retro sci-fi Robots and crew to the mix, useful for more gonzo sci-fi campaigns.

If you're building a Trench Crusade force and want units that don't look like they came from the same three sources everyone else is using, this is the range to spend time in.

Beast Huntaz, Echoes of the Night, and the Rest

The community-directed model means Across the Realms never sits on one theme long enough to get stale. A handful of other ranges worth knowing about:

Beast Huntaz is their she-orc faction. The She-Orc Beast Hunters (from £6.99) are your core troops, with the She-Orc Rhinox Riders (from £10.99) bringing cavalry muscle and the Beasthunter Matriarch (from £8.99) as the warlord option. The sculpts sit somewhere between fantasy and sci-fi, which makes them flexible across different game systems.

Echoes of the Night goes full gothic vampire territory. Vampire Lord Vlad as your centrepiece, Wallachian Infantry (from £26.99 a squad), and Vampire Valkyries for faster-moving units. Good for narrative wargaming, TTRPG encounter prep, or just as painting projects in their own right.

Death Division / To The Skies is the sci-fi military thread: Valkyrie Drop Squads, a Robo Turtle Tank Mech, Cult of Death Engineers, and weapon teams for heavier games. Guard-style troops with more personality than the average soldier in a greatcoat.

Grimdark Citizens fills a gap most manufacturers leave empty: civilian NPCs for grimdark settings. Factory workers, street dealers, cult assassins, and grimdark nuns for populating a hive city or underhive board. Useful for narrative games and RPG encounters where you need bystanders, not warriors.

Scale, Finish, and Pricing

All Across the Realms minis from TabletopXtra are 28/32mm scale, printed in grey resin and shipped unpainted. Squad sets run from £6.49 to around £34.99 depending on figure count and complexity; vehicles top out at £36.99 for the Bulldog tank. Individual character pieces sit in the £6.49 to £19.99 range.

Print quality is consistent across the range. The Battle Nuns and Guns, Grace & Steel squads have crisp surface detail that comes up cleanly after a zenithal prime and wash. Heavy weapon teams and vehicle models may need minor cleanup at the support points, but nothing beyond standard resin prep. All minis arrive pre-supported and ready for assembly.

Browse the Full Across the Realms Range at TabletopXtra

We add new Across the Realms releases as they drop each month, so the collection grows alongside the studio's output. The full range is at our Across the Realms collection on TabletopXtra. If something specific catches your eye and isn't listed yet, get in touch and we'll check incoming stock.

This is a catalogue that genuinely changes month to month, driven by hobbyists deciding what gets made next. Some months it's a new Battle Nuns squad; others it's something nobody else was going to commission. That unpredictability is what keeps the range interesting, and there's usually something unexpected waiting when you scroll through.
