Smol Scale Armies

Smol Lunar Auxilia

Smol Lunar Auxilia by ThatEvilOne brings a stylised, chibi-heroic twist to grimdark warfare. Sculpted for 28 mm gaming, these compact but highly detailed troops, tanks, walkers and flyers work perfectly as fun, characterful proxies for Solar/Lunar Auxilia or classic Astra Militarum forces.

Why choose this collection?

  • Stylised look, serious tabletop bite — cute proportions with crisp grimdark detail for a unique army that still reads clearly on the table.
  • Complete force range — line infantry, command, specialists, heavy armour, artillery, aircraft and transports.
  • Kitbash-friendly — many kits are modular (turrets, sponsons, batteries) to tailor squads and vehicles to your ruleset.

Painting tips

Lean into clean armour panels and bold unit colours so the stylised forms pop: hazard-striped engineering units, off-white or orange Auxilia schemes with black trim, or olive drab with weathering and chipping. Add heat-bluing on gun barrels, oil streaks on tanks and bright squad markings so the “smol” silhouettes stay readable at arm’s length.

Deploy the Smol Lunar Auxilia — an adorable—but deadly—expeditionary corps ready to roll across the stars in tanks, flyers and armoured cohorts.
