Gothic Warband STL Set

What makes a warband feel gothic?

A gothic look comes from hooded robes, pointed arches, bone details and tense poses. The group should look like it belongs together, even when each figure has its own pose.

Most warbands need a leader, several rank-and-file fighters and one or two special figures. Selling the full group lets painters build a whole force from one listing.

Which figures should you print first?

Start with the leader and two or three common fighters. They show the style and give buyers a test purchase.

Add the special figures once you know the group sells. Print a few spare copies of the popular fighters so you can fill repeat orders without a long wait.

Tips for sharp, paintable minis

Painters care about crisp detail and clean bases. Resin usually holds fine detail well, but filament can work for larger figures if you slow down.

• Print figures upright with supports placed away from faces and hands.
• Check thin spears, blades and horns in your slicer before you commit a long print.
• Give each figure a matching round base so the group looks unified.
• Wash and cure resin parts as your resin maker recommends.
• Photograph one primed figure and one painted example in a dark, moody scene.

How do you describe a warband for game players?

Say what each figure is, how many pieces are in the set and what base size they suit. Name the scale you printed at so players can mix them with existing armies.

Avoid using the names of any commercial game or setting. Describe the style in your own words, such as crypt knights or hooded cultists. The Etsi3D commercial bundle allows you to sell physical prints of its files, but never the digital files themselves.

Warband selling questions

What paint scheme sells a gothic group best?

Black, deep red and bone tones with silver details work well, and keep the same scheme across the set. A tight palette makes the photo look consistent and helps buyers imagine the whole warband on their table.

Can I add themed extras to sell with the figures?

Yes. Matching scenery pieces from a gothic home decor set could be reused as tabletop ruins, and small add-ons like funny Halloween keychains bring in casual shoppers around October. Keep each item clearly labeled so game buyers know what they receive.

How do I keep orders consistent from batch to batch?

Note your slicer settings, resin type and base size for each figure. Print a sample at the start of a new batch to compare against earlier work, and keep one finished model as a reference for color and detail.
