Ancient Tomb Guard - Warrior with Shield (32mm)

💀 Ancient Tomb Guard - Skeletal Warrior with Hieroglyphic Shield (32mm)

"Bound by oath, even in death, to protect the Pharaoh's rest."

Expand your undead army with the Ancient Tomb Guard. This high-detail skeletal warrior is equipped with a traditional khopesh and a massive tower shield adorned with ancient hieroglyphs. Perfectly scaled for 32mm bases, it's an essential addition to any desert-themed D&D encounter or tabletop wargame.

Anatomical Detail & FDM Optimization

Despite the thin skeletal structure, this model is engineered for FDM success. The points of contact and the thickness of the bones are optimized to provide a stable print without sacrificing the "undead" aesthetic. The sand-textured base adds an extra layer of immersion to the final piece.

📏 Dimensions & Print Specs

• Base Diameter: 32mm.
• Layer Height: 0.08mm (Recommended for the best detail on bone textures and shield engravings).
• Nozzle: 0.4mm.
• Supports: Tree supports mandatory.

🛠️ Post-Processing & Handling (CAUTION)

This model features delicate areas that require a surgical approach during cleanup:

• ⚠️ The Tower Shield: The back of the shield requires significant support structure. Use fine flush cutters to snip the supports away from the edges first to avoid putting leverage on the skeleton's arm.
• ⚠️ Under the Chin: The pharaonic beard and jawline are prone to support scarring. Take extra care with a hobby knife or metal pick to clear the area without snapping the neck.
• ⚠️ The Khopesh (Saber): The curved blade is thin. Ensure you don't pull the supports downward along the blade; instead, cut the contact points to preserve the sharp edge.

Technical & Creative Note: This design is based on an AI generation that I have manually refined and tested on FDM prints to ensure printability and quality. The featured photo is of the actual physical print. I’ve included AI-colored renders only as a visual reference for those who wish to paint the miniature.

🛠️ Support the Process!

💡 What you see is what you get: Unlike many profiles that only upload digital renders of unprintable models, every single design here is fully test-printed, refined in Blender/Meshmixer, and optimized for FDM before release.

I spend hours tweaking geometries, custom supports, and wasting my own filament so that you can enjoy a flawless, hassle-free print on your first try.

If my test-printing hours saved your time and filament, feel free to keep my printers running and fuel the next project! Any support is greatly appreciated: paypal.me/mjrko84
