Argentus "The Silver Aegis"

Print Parameters

This profile is optimized for the 38mm-50mm scale to capture the heavy plate textures and the imposing stance of a draconic hoplite. The profile contains two plates with a figure on a base with a diameter of 38 mm and 50 mm

• Material: PLA+ or PLA
• Layer height: 0.06 mm - 0.08 mm for smooth transitions on the armor plating and crest.
• Nozzle: 0.2 mm (Essential for the intricate sun-motifs on the chest and the sharp tip of the spear).
• Supports: Required. The spear and the flowing cape need stable anchoring.
• Note: If you change the layer height, add 0.04mm to your new layer height and enter that value in the "Top Z distance" field.
• ⚠️ Caution: The supports are hand-drawn to ensure maximum stability for the spear arm. No changes are necessary. The default profile contains a 50mm diameter base.

How to scale the miniature

1. In Bambu Studio, select the model.
2. From the top toolbar, choose Scale.
3. Important: If you wish to rescale the figure, you must manually manipulate the X or Y values to select the appropriate base diameter for your tabletop needs.
4. For D&D standard height, ensure Uniform Scaling is enabled and set the Z-axis accordingly.

Argentus "The Silver Aegis"

A Silver Dragonborn Paladin who fights with the discipline of an ancient phalanx and the frosty resolve of the northern peaks.

Lore Description

Argentus is a living wall of silver and steel. Eschewing the chaotic skirmishing of his kin, he adopted the fighting style of ancient hoplites, believing that a single well-placed spear is worth more than a thousand swinging swords. His armor, etched with solar sigils, glints like a glacier under the midday sun. Argentus doesn't just protect his allies; he dictates the flow of battle, turning every narrow corridor into an impenetrable fortress. To face him is to face the relentless cold of a winter storm combined with the unwavering discipline of a master tactician.
