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 Sovereign Submerged. The Elder Brain does not rule the illithid colony—it dreams it. In a brine-pool the color of bruised twilight, this ancient god-mind remembers every consciousness the hive has ever swallowed, the way a deity remembers the futures it has already written. When it stirs, even mind flayers kneel. Their thoughts were never their own.
A Miniature Worthy of Legend: This grotesquely beautiful resin sculpt from the acclaimed Lava Forge line captures the Elder Brain in its full submerged horror—folded cerebral tissue rendered with anatomical precision, eye-stalks rising like questing periscopes from the surface of the pool, and clusters of feeler-tentacles reaching outward as if tasting the dreams of intruders. The pool itself is a 3D printing showcase, with translucent membrane texture that will reward every layer of glaze you put on it. A truly singular centerpiece for any aberration-tier encounter.

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.
What scale are these miniatures?
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.
Do the miniatures come painted or primed?
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.
Can you modify the pose or change a weapon on the miniature?
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.
Do I need to do any cleanup before I start painting?
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.
