Skeleton Melee - Print-Ready Miniature by Mike Gyver Minis! ⚔️🎲

Stripped of its humanity and driven by foul necromancy, this relentless Skeleton shambles forward with a weathered short sword and rusted shield to ruthlessly execute its dark master's will. Locked in an aggressive, battle-ready stance, this classic undead warrior is ready to march tirelessly against your adventuring party.

Part of my project is building high-quality, print-ready D&D (and other TTRPG) miniatures, perfect for your campaigns! 🐉

A note about Skeletons and the design process
Skeletons are one of the most challenging designs due to them being inherently thin limbed already in their design. I set out to create these miniatures that are not chunky and depict skeletons as accurately as I can, but still be reasonably durable. Especially once they are on a base. I have dropped these a few times with no damage.

Orientation is also key for printing skeletons with somewhat open jaws. In order to get supports under the jaw a lot of these orientations are not the norm. I really tried to minimize scarring where I could.

Having said that, these designs will challenge your support removal skills, I have tuned these prints to be as easy of a removal as I possibly can. Expect to use your flush cutters and thin tipped tweezers carefully for each of the Skeletons.  But once done, you will have a skeleton that depicts the undead as accurate animated bones.

🔥 Important Printing Advice:

• Prep Matters! 🔑: A Calibrated printer, Clean build plate (🧼 soap & water!), and Dry filament are essential.
• Support Removal: Use tweezers/cutters ✂️ carefully. Minor cleanup (light sanding) where supports touch is normal. ✨
• Take Care: Be very careful around Sword, Shield and Thin Limbs. They are reasonably durable (can be dropped with no damage), but you need to use all your support removal tools at your disposal.  Take your time when removing supports!
• Cube: Some miniatures have a cube underneath. This cube is only for helping print the miniature and can be disposed of
• Cylinder: Some miniatures have a decoy cylinder. This reduces radiant heat from the tool head when working on small details or features (like a sword tip) as the previous layer is given more time to cool.
