How to use this model

Use cases, fit and pre-production checks

This mutant rat swarm miniature is designed for 3D printing, making it an excellent choice for tabletop gamers and miniature collectors. It is printable as a single piece, though supports may be beneficial for overhangs depending on your printer and chosen orientation. Recommended materials include standard resins for high detail or PLA for larger-scale prints. The model's scale is suitable for 28mm to 32mm gaming systems, but can be scaled up or down as needed. Consider painting it with dark, earthy tones and adding washes to highlight the grotesque details and create a truly menacing appearance on your gaming table or display shelf.

Its detailed sculpt translates well into digital renders, adding a visceral element to horror or dark fantasy scenes.
