Swords for Hire 03 Fantasy Miniature Blunderbuss Mercenary
About this miniature
Made from high-quality resin. Armed and ready, Swords for Hire 03 Fantasy Miniature by Vae Victus from We Print Miniatures brings some old-school firepower to the battlefield. Equipped with a vintage blunderbuss, this mercenary knows how to give enemies an early wake-up call - peppering them with a powerful blast that gets the point across. Perfect for games of Dungeons and Dragons, with a rugged stance and determined expression, they’re clearly not afraid to give some welly to the other troops, ensuring they make an impact wherever they go.
As shown in the miniature, this character is posed mid-action with a wide-brim hat, open-mouthed battle shout, and both hands braced on a flared-muzzle firearm—ideal for a cover fire moment or a dramatic opening shot in a skirmish. The sculpt highlights practical, battle-worn attire, including layered clothing, sturdy boots, and belt pouches that fit perfectly into gritty tavern-brawl or battlefield scenarios.
Sculpted in 28mm, 32mm, 35mm and 55mm scales, this miniature stays true to Vae Victus’ original design, showcasing the intricate details of their gear, from the classic weapon to the practical, battle-worn attire. Perfect for D&D campaigns, historical fantasy settings, or skirmishes where a bit of old-fashioned firepower is needed, Swords for Hire 03 adds a unique edge to your collection. Whether leading a charge or laying down cover fire, they’re ready to show that even traditional weapons can pack a punch.
This is a resin miniature (we also offer many resin miniatures for tabletop gaming). Great as a hireling, militia marksman, black-powder specialist, or mercenary gunner for fantasy RPGs and wargames.

How we size our miniatures
We measure every mini from foot to eyeline, assuming a 6 ft male — so the millimetre is the eyeline, not the top of the helmet. Females, monsters, and smaller folk scale up or down so they don't look silly standing next to a standard human.
The standard for games like D&D and many roleplay games as well as older versions of Grimdark Battlefields.
Many games use this size as it provides more detail for painting and to fit with modern game systems like Grimdark Wargames and skirmish games. Also used for 28mm Monsters to give them even more threat.
When you need a bit more threat a 35mm mini in a 32 or 28mm game can add real weight to an encounter. Great for painting to maximise detail for the tabletop
Showpiece scale — built for shelf display, busts, and showcase paint jobs. Maximum surface area for blending, framing, and competition-grade detail.

Questions we get asked

We print to order, so 3–5 working days on average but at busy times i can take a little longer for the UK and 7–14 for everywhere else.
Our Miniatures are made from Light reactive Resin, it's all very cutting edge science or witch craft we arn't too sure.
Our resin is designed to flex rather than snap, which helps prevent breakages during shipping. Occasionally, thin parts like swords, staffs, or gun barrels may arrive slightly bent—this is normal and easy to fix.
Recommended method – Warm water:
Dip the bent part into a bowl of lukewarm water for about 1 second, then gently hold the miniature so the part points straight down. If needed, repeat the process, adding an extra second or two. Once the resin cools, the new position will be locked in.
Other methods:
A hair dryer can work, but we don’t recommend it as heating the whole miniature may soften details or cause unwanted bends.
A radiator can also work, but use extreme care—too much heat can damage the resin.
If you’re unsure or need help, just get in touch and we’ll be happy to advise.
