DakkaDakka.Store Miniatures UK: Grimdark Armies, Vehicles & Conversion Bits

DakkaDakka.Store makes sci-fi wargaming models that look like they've already fought three campaigns and barely survived. Pre-supported 28/32mm resin infantry, grimdark conversion bits, full-scale vehicles, and matching gothic terrain: it's one of the more complete grimdark sci-fi ranges we stock at TabletopXtra. Whether you're building a proxy force for Grimdark Future, hunting for Trench Crusade characters, or putting together a Necromunda-style skirmish band that looks like nothing on any official shelf, DakkaDakka.Store has a lot to offer.

Who Are DakkaDakka.Store?

DakkaDakka.Store (not the dakkadakka.com forum, which is an entirely different entity) are the designers behind this grimdark sci-fi catalogue. Their aesthetic is battered, functional, dark-future military: worn armour plates, heavy overcoats, the design language of troops who fight in mud rather than march in formation. The models are pre-supported for home printing, but we print and finish every piece to order here in the UK, so what arrives is clean and ready to base-coat.

The range spans multiple named factions, each with its own distinct feel and role, plus a growing set of conversion bits and a vehicle and terrain line that makes building a full grimdark tabletop possible from a single designer.

The Dawnguard: Core Imperial Infantry

The Dawnguard are the backbone of DakkaDakka.Store's range. A disciplined imperial infantry force with real depth, the core unit is the Dawnguard Infantry Squad, available as a 5-man squad (with or without a leader), a 10-man squad, or a Special Weapons Kit, from £5.99 up to £20.99 for the full 10-man with leader. The Dawnguard Veteran Squad (£19.99) and Heavy Weapons Platform (£12.99) fill out the specialist options.

Command figures include the Dawnguard Commissar (£7.99), the Dawnguard Tank Commander (£7.99), and the Dawnguard Squad Commander (£6.49). For heavy support, three Dawnguard Ogres (£16.99) go in the back ranks, and the Priests of Dawn (£14.99 for a pair) give the force an ideological edge that suits settings where faith and violence amount to the same thing.

The Dawnguard line proxies well for Grimdark Future or Warhammer 40,000 forces. The aesthetic reads clearly as imperial in character without lifting from any specific IP, and at 28/32mm scale the proportions sit comfortably alongside most other sci-fi ranges on the market.

Vultures, Death Division, and the Wider Factions

The Dawnguard need enemies. The Vultures Gang is a full set of 17 battered figures at £27.99, with smaller 10- or 5-man squads for players starting lean. Vultures Ogres (x3, £17.99) and a Heavy Weapons team (£14.99) give the faction some real weight. These models look like they pillage rather than patrol, which is exactly the point.

The Death Division adds another layer. The Death Division Grenadier (£6.99) and the 2nd Death Division Commander (£6.49) are tagged for Trench Crusade compatibility, and Oralia van Halen the Witch Hunter (£6.99), from the Torquemada's Inquisition range, brings genuine character to any warband. The Green Hell Division contributes the Jungle Fighters Commander (£6.99), a useful variant for campaigns set somewhere other than standard urban gothic. There's also a Goblins Meat Squad (£22.99 for 10) when you need cheap shock troops or a source of cannon fodder.

The Dashing Nebula Syndicate

Not everything in DakkaDakka.Store's catalogue is grimly militarised. The Dashing Nebula Syndicate is their more colourful faction: an Airforce Marshal (£6.49), a Dramatic Pose Medic (£9.99), Midas the Red (£8.99), Gabe the Valve (£8.99), and Bob the Dimachaerus in two poses (£7.49 and £7.99). These are models with names, with presence, and enough individual character to lead a Necromunda gang, headline a skirmish warband, or serve as bosses and rival commanders in a narrative campaign.

There's also a handful of individual models that show the range's broader scope: the Red Dragon Queen (£9.99), the Sunpriest Lizardman (£8.99), Graveyard Cultists (£14.99 for 5), the Bomb Goblin (£6.29), and a Fantasy Tavern Bartender and Waitress duo (£8.99) for any RPG session that needs somewhere to drink.

Conversion Bits: Pactum Aeternum and the Kitbash Ranges

DakkaDakka.Store's conversion bit ranges are a genuine strength, and the newest is Pactum Aeternum: a space-knight themed set covering Knight Shoulder Pads, Warden Shoulder Pads, Knight Backpacks, and Warden Backpacks, each available in packs of 5 or 10 (mixed or labelled variants) at £8.99. Swap these onto your existing 28/32mm marine or knight-scale figures and the army gets its own visual identity without rebuilding from scratch.

Three other ranges fill out the options: Winged Lions, Fallen Lions, and Predators, each offering heads or helmets at £8.99 per pack of 10. Mix shoulder pads from one range with helmets from another and the result reads as deliberately designed rather than random. This is the toolkit for building a coherent converted force that looks like yours and no one else's.

Vehicles, Terrain, and the Full Battlefield

DakkaDakka.Store extends to the full table. The vehicle range covers the Main Battle Tank (£42.99), the Main Battle Tank SOL VI (£48.99), the Armored Personnel Carrier Dragon I (£42.99), the Support Battle Tank Dragon III (£42.99), and the Airborne Assault Aircraft Daedalus (£49.99). These are proper centrepiece models: armour that shares the aesthetic of the infantry and scales correctly for 28/32mm games.

Terrain matches the infantry too. The Gothic Terrain Kit is 20 pieces of FDM-printed gothic scatter terrain at £69.99, or 40 pieces at £129.99 for larger games. Individual pieces including the Gothic Statue (£12.99), the Container (£14.99), and Wrecked Vehicle Terrain (£14.99) let you build up incrementally. FDM terrain is solid, paints well under a heavy drybrush, and sits comfortably alongside resin infantry on the same table without the colour-mismatch that comes from mixing unrelated terrain ranges.

Getting Started with DakkaDakka.Store

A practical starting point: one Dawnguard Infantry Squad (or Vultures Gang squad), a command figure, and one or two conversion bit packs from Pactum Aeternum or Winged Lions gives you a functional skirmish warband and the bones of an army for under £40. Add vehicles or terrain as needed rather than trying to do everything at once.

Every resin piece we stock is cleaned and pre-washed before shipping, so you go straight to primer. The battered armour and textured surfaces are forgiving to paint: dark grey primer, a heavy wash, a cold grey drybrush over raised edges, and you have something table-ready in an evening. The FDM terrain responds well to the same approach.
