About This Sculpt

Shield tucked low against his hip, sword raised vertical beside his hood, this soldier is sculpted in profile as a man holding a line rather than charging one. The round shield carries individually riveted planks and a domed boss, the armor mixes scale texture with layered leather skirts, and his laced boots grip a flower-dotted terrain base. He slots in as the shield-wall anchor of any mercenary patrol — a straight Guard or Veteran statblock — and works equally well as a stubborn town militia sergeant blocking the party's road at dusk. For printing, the shield hugs the torso closely enough to need almost no support work; the vertical blade is the thin element here, so tilt the model 30-45 degrees so the sword prints along the layer lines instead of across them.

D&D & Tabletop Use

🎲 Statblock & Encounter Suggestion

Use as a Guard (MM p.347, CR 1/8) upgraded to CR 1, a Veteran (MM p.350) with sword & shield, or a Knight (MM p.347) downgraded. The classic tank-line piece for any mercenary or city-watch encounter.

Print scale tip: 32mm tabletop (D&D 5e / Pathfinder grids) ≈ 27% in your slicer. 75mm collectible ≈ 60%. 150mm bust ≈ scale to 1.25x. Watertight, oriented for printing.

Full Product Details

The shield wall of the warband — heater shield braced, longsword low, the soldier who gets paid to stand between the contract and the enemy. Cheaper than a paladin, twice as reliable.

Questions about Mercenary Sword Shield

What scale should I print Mercenary Sword Shield at?

The mini comes scaled to ~120mm (D&D Medium-class). For 32mm D&D 5e / Pathfinder tabletop scale, set ~20-27% scale in your slicer. For collectible display, 60-75%.

What's the mesh quality of Mercenary Sword Shield?

The mini has 260k triangles — clean enough for FDM at medium-large scales, detailed enough for resin printing at small tabletop scales.

Does Mercenary Sword Shield print well on FDM?

Yes. Recommended FDM settings: 0.12-0.20mm layer height, 10-15% infill, tree supports from the base. Supports are recommended on cloaks, hoods, capes and trailing fabric.

Is Mercenary Sword Shield supported for resin printing?

Yes. Recommended resin settings: 0.05mm layer, 1.8-3s exposure, light-medium supports from the base. The mesh is watertight and oriented for printing. Hollow in your slicer to save resin.

Any specific print warnings for Mercenary Sword Shield?

The model has 32 thin-wall regions flagged by our pre-print scan (cloaks, capes, weapon edges). Print at the recommended scale or larger to avoid breakage. The full thin-wall report is included with the STL.

Can I sell physical prints of Mercenary Sword Shield?

Yes — the license allows you to print and sell the physical figure (conventions, online, custom commissions). What you can NOT do is redistribute or resell the digital STL file itself.
