Cerebral Drone: Servant of the Singing Pool

Equipment: Unarmed but still deadly

Sculpted By: Lava Forge

A workhorse of the illithid colony, the Cerebral Drone is a mind flayer of the lower caste—useful, expendable, devout.

Part of the Lava Forge line, sold unpainted, with a 25mm textured base included. Some assembly required.

The Kirtrite Forge Guarantee

We want this miniature to be the highlight of your next campaign. Every model is thoroughly inspected before it leaves our wash and cure stations. If your miniature suffers a critical fail during transit and arrives damaged, or if you spot a printing defect that slipped past our quality checks, send us a photo within 30 days of delivery. We will gladly forge and ship a replacement.

Please note: While we use premium, flexible resin blends designed to withstand regular tabletop play, these are still detailed hobby models. We cannot replace miniatures that take a tumble off the gaming table, get chewed by the tavern hound (your dog), or encounter an unfortunate painting accident.

Behold the Servant of the Singing Pool. The Cerebral Drone is what an illithid becomes when the Elder Brain wants nothing of it but obedience. It does not crave power. It does not scheme for ascension. It exists to extend the will of something deeper than itself, and when that will withdraws, this body will fall like a puppet whose strings have been cut. There is no horror more pure than a mind that does not want anything for itself.

A Miniature Worthy of Legend: This resin sculpt from the acclaimed Lava Forge line captures the Cerebral Drone in classic illithid form—cephalopod features in unsettling proportion, robes that move like they remember being underwater, tentacles that suggest both speech and feeding. Crisp facial detail, flowing fabric texture, and a dignified posture that says ‘thrall’ without saying ‘weak.’ The kind of mini that benefits enormously from glazes and a cold color palette.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these miniatures fragile? Will they break if I drop them off the table?

We know how chaotic game night can get. Unlike standard, brittle 3D-printed miniatures, our models are printed using a custom blend of premium Siraya Tech resins, specifically utilizing ABS-like, Sculpt (high temp), and Tenacious (flexible). This gives the miniatures a slight, durable flex, allowing them to withstand table drops, transport, and regular gameplay without snapping easily.

Our miniatures are scaled for standard 28mm to 32mm tabletop gaming. They fit perfectly on standard 1-inch grid battle mats and terrain used for Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder, Frostgrave, and other popular tabletop games.

All RPG miniatures are shipped unpainted and unprimed. They arrive fully washed, cured, and ready for the painting desk so you can match them to your own campaign’s lore or your personal warband’s colors. If you are looking to get miniatures pre-painted, please contact us as we do offer painting services.

Project Kirtrite holds official commercial merchant licenses to print designs from some of the best digital sculptors in the tabletop community, including The Lions Tower, Arbiter Miniatures, and Lubart Miniatures. Because we are authorized manufacturing partners and not the original digital sculptors of these specific files, we cannot alter the poses, armor, or weapons of the models.

The models are thoroughly washed and cured before shipping. While we meticulously remove all printing supports, you may occasionally find a microscopic support mark. A quick pass with a hobby file or fine sandpaper will easily smooth it out before priming.
