🛸 LV426Designs – Premium Resin Miniature (Unpainted Physical Model)

Xeno Hive Wardens – Alien Universe Inspired Hive Guardians

Hive Warden 1 • Hive Warden 2 • Hive Warden 3

Deep within the darkest hive chambers dwell the Hive Wardens — terrifying guardian organisms evolved to defend the brood.

These towering xenomorphic creatures combine brutal strength with multiple scything limbs, allowing them to dominate confined hive tunnels and protect egg chambers from intruders.

Their imposing height and arachnid stance make them perfect elite hive defenders or mini-boss creatures for tabletop encounters.

Inspired by expanded Alien universe creature designs and classic Kenner-era hive monsters, these models capture the terrifying scale and alien anatomy that fans love.

Perfect for:

👾 Alien-style RPG encounters
🎮 Sci-fi tabletop battles
🖌 Xenomorph display models
🎲 Hive boss enemies and scenario objectives

✅ What You Will Receive

Each miniature includes:

• 1 unpainted resin miniature (physical model – no STL files supplied)

📏 Size Information

These creatures are designed as large hive guardian organisms.

Approximate model heights:

• Shortest model: ~78mm tall
• Tallest model: ~84.34mm tall

This makes them significantly larger than standard Xenomorph drones and ideal as elite hive defenders or boss enemies.

📏 Understanding Miniature Scale (28mm / 32mm)

Miniature scale refers to the height of an average human figure standing upright:

28mm scale → ~28mm from foot to eye level
32mm scale → ~32mm from foot to eye level

Alien creatures may exceed this depending on anatomy and pose.

🛠 Support Removal – Safe, Easy Method (Recommended)

Delicate models may ship with supports attached to prevent breakages.

Safe removal method:

1. Run hot tap water (hot but not painful)

2. Hold supported area under water for 2–3 seconds

3. Supports soften immediately and peel away easily

For smaller areas like claws or limbs, snip around supports first and gently separate.

🛠 Assembly & Model Preparation

High-detail resin miniatures may require light hobby preparation:

• Remove supports

• Light sanding if required

• Assemble with superglue (cyanoacrylate)

• Prime before painting

Pinning may improve durability for gaming use.
