Skink Starseers sit at the apex of the skink priesthood, festooned with astromantic tools that aid them in deciphering the portents of the heavens. Starseers are the most puissant Seraphon wizards after the Slann Starmasters themselves, with celestial blessings that allow them to gaze into the future and influence the skein of fate to suit their masters’ unknowable ends.

This multipart plastic kit builds a Skink Starseer – an arcane astrologer riding atop a floating palanquin. The kit can build a Starseer in two different poses – one standing in a feathered cloak, and the other sat down with robes pooling around them. Both varieties carry an astromancer's staff with a choice of two orrery-heads, and the kit offers a choice of priestly headresses and ornamental collars.

The palanquin also includes cosmetic build options, allowing you to choose between two different constellation-displays and two different inner irises for the astrological ring, as well as a pristine side-panel or a vine-choked carving connected to a scenic base element.

This kit comprises 47 plastic components, and comes with a Citadel 50mm Round Base. This miniature is supplied unassembled and unpainted – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.

Games Workshop have two broad methods for painting their models. Both are entirely viable options, though have significant differences in the paints required (detailed below). You can find all of the required paints in the 'recommended paint' section below, whether you simply want to get it out onto the tabletop ASAP (i.e. 'Battle Ready'), or want to take your time and make it a masterpiece (i.e. 'Parade Ready'):

1. Classic Method - uses acrylic paints to build layers of colour and depth. Usually topped off with a shade paint to really make the shadows pop. Probably the most beginner friendly method as mistakes are often easy to fix.

2. Contast Method - uses ink-like contrast painsts which sink into recesses, providing depth in highlights and shadows with a single layer of paint. It can take some practise to get this method to look great, but it's highly satisfying when it does work. Less forgiving when mistakes happen, though arguably the quicker method of the two options.
