For printing miniatures, we always recommend RESIN 3D printers as they provide exceptional detail and a smooth surface finish. Our models have been tested on the Anycubic Photon Mono M5s and Phrozen Sonic Mighty 8K printers. We do not use FDM (filament) printing technology or other materials and therefore cannot provide support for those types of printers.
SLICER SOFTWARE
We recommend using Chitubox for its user-friendly interface, automatic support generation, advanced scaling options, and professional tools for preparing models for printing.
SCALING
Most of our models scale exceptionally well both up and down without noticeable loss of quality. All models are created at the scale specified in their listing; however, users have successfully printed them in scales ranging from 1:72 up to 1:6.
SUPPORT REMOVAL AND CLEANUP
To make support removal easier, we recommend soaking the model in warm water for 5–10 minutes. After this treatment, supports can usually be removed much more easily and leave fewer marks on the model's surface.
After removing the supports, the model should be thoroughly cleaned. Excellent results can be achieved by soaking the print for 30–60 minutes in Mean Green or a similar cleaning solution, followed by an additional 15–30 minute rinse in Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA).
REQUESTS & SUGGESTIONS
While we do not accept custom orders, we are always happy to hear your ideas for new models you'd like to see in our store. Simply send us a description or a reference image, and we will consider adding the project to our production schedule.
We truly enjoy helping bring creative ideas to life and expanding our catalog based on community feedback and suggestions.
Description
Step into the battlefields of Classical Greece (5th–4th century BCE) with this Ancient Greek Hoplite—a heavily armed infantryman wearing a crested helmet and armor, fighting with sword and shield. Hoplites were the backbone of Greek city-state armies, and their disciplined formation—the phalanx—shaped the outcome of many wars across the Greek world.
Historical Background
Hoplite warfare was built around unity and pressure: soldiers fought shoulder-to-shoulder, shields overlapping, advancing as a single force. This style of combat defined the military identity of Greek poleis during the Greco-Persian era and the Peloponnesian War period.
Sparta became legendary for turning citizenship into military duty—rigorous training, strict discipline, and collective tactics created warriors famed for endurance and battlefield cohesion. In prolonged campaigns and chaotic close combat, the short sword often became decisive once formations broke.
