The Uprising unpainted set swaps Sentinel Tactics tokens for 17 PVC miniatures on clear hex bases. Here's what you get, what you'll need, and how to prep them.
Quick answer
The Sentinel Miniatures: Uprising (Unpainted) set contains 17 unpainted PVC miniatures plus transparent hexagonal bases, designed to replace the tokens for the Heroes, Villains, and Unity's Bots in Sentinel Tactics: Uprising. You need Sentinel Tactics to use it, and you'll supply your own paint and assembly tools.
Why the unpainted version is a separate purchase
This set is sold unpainted, so the miniatures arrive as bare PVC. That keeps the price lower than a pre-painted set and lets you match your own color scheme for the Heroes, Villains, and Unity's Bots. The trade-off is time: you'll handle cleaning, assembly, and painting yourself.
The transparent hexagonal bases are included to replace the game's tokens. They are not a separate accessory, so don't buy bases assuming they're missing.
What you need before you start
You need a copy of Sentinel Tactics to use this set. It is an accessory, not a standalone game. You'll also want hobby clippers, a hobby knife, fine sandpaper or files, superglue or plastic cement (check compatibility with PVC), primer, and acrylic paints.
If you have never prepped miniatures, plan a short session for cleanup and test-fit before you glue anything. The set does not include tools, glue, or paint.
Common questions about the Uprising unpainted set
- What exactly is in the box?
- 17 unpainted PVC miniatures and transparent hexagonal bases. The miniatures replace the tokens for the Heroes, Villains, and Unity's Bots in Sentinel Tactics: Uprising.
- Do I need Sentinel Tactics to use it?
- Yes. Sentinel Tactics is required. This is an accessory set, not a standalone game, so the miniatures have no rules without the base game. Check that you own Sentinel Tactics before buying.
- Are the miniatures painted?
- No. They are unpainted PVC. You'll need to clean, assemble, prime, and paint them if you want a finished look.
- What tools do I need for assembly prep?
- Hobby clippers, a hobby knife, files or fine sandpaper, and glue suitable for PVC. Primer and acrylic paints are needed for painting. None of these are included. Budget for tools and paint on top of the set price.
- How do the bases work?
- The set includes transparent hexagonal bases that replace the game's tokens. Use them to mount the miniatures so they match the hex grid.
- Is this a good first painting project?
- It can be, because the figures are small and the set is self-contained. But PVC needs proper cleaning and a primer that adheres to it, so follow basic miniature prep steps rather than painting straight out of the box.
