"Get down, you maniac!" Sidney shouted up at Abel as the warrior stood on the ramparts of the city wall high above him. The Captain of the Order of the Dragon was standing statuesque, focused with his giant spear in hand. What had started as a heated drunken discussion turned argument last night had escalated into a live demonstration today.
It all seemed so clear in Abel's head. The enemy would expect a frontal attack. They may even be somewhat prepared to deal with flanking and rear attacks, but could they possibly expect an attack from the air? This theory is what he had proposed to the diminutive engineer who accused him of just being suicidal. "No way can anyone, let alone you, jump from such a height and land with great accuracy to spear an opponent. Then there is the question of injuring yourself in the process. It's a suicide mission, I tell you!"
However, with the practice dummy no more than 12 feet away from where the dwarf stood, he proceeded to witness the man at the top of the castle jump and descend by the most direct route possible, perfectly skewering the target right through the head. Abel rose to his feet unscathed, "see?".
"Oh, my, oh my, oh my, my boy, you weren't kidding. That was amazing, probably one of the most amazing things I have seen in all my days," and the old dwarf wasn't kidding. "I should have believed you last night; however, you have convinced me, right here and now! I'll make you your cruiser. Let's take this conversation to my workshop I feel there is no time to waste!"
So from a drunken night at the tavern and a potential reckless demonstration, the Talarian Airship was conceived. These airships levitate and fly using grav engines designed by Sidney, which keep these battle barges in the air. Powered by the Esper crystals containing the souls of creatures with a strong affinity to the air element. This is the key to making everything function, enabling these agile ships to deliver their deadly payload into the heart of the enemy.
As the dwarf constructed, Abel had only one task set him by the engineer. He needed to hunt the wind drakes to capture their souls, for this is what's inside the crystals. This task quickly became the right of passage, the initiation ceremony into the Order of the Dragon. It serves two purposes, supplying Sidney with the means to power his airships and proving that the warriors are the correct ones to ride in them.
This product contains Chief Engineer Sidney from The Kingdom of Talarius.
The STL variant of this product is supplied as repaired STL files and LYS supported files. Supports are professionally done in Lychee Slicer and designed to remove beautifully (provided you have dialled in your printer settings). They are guaranteed to give you one of the best printing experiences you've ever had! Are we allowed to use the term "printgasm"?! :-)
RESIN
The Resin version contains 1 high quality resin miniature, printed to 32mm scale. All support material is removed prior to shipping and the resin is fully cured to ensure that it is safe to handle. We will also supply an appropriately sized round MDF base per model. No additional cleaning is required, simply glue the model to a base using Cyanoacrylate glue (superglue) and paint it.
All models are printed to order, and you will join the print queue in the order in which your order arrives with us. We can print the miniatures in 28mm scale if you wish, just please ensure that you let us know after placing the order or on your order notes when you complete your purchase.
Please note that our resin models are UV cured and prolonged exposure of the resin to sunlight will continue to cure the resin and may cause it to go brittle in time. To avoid this please paint the models as soon as you are able (this also helps you to keep your pile of shame to a minimum!). You only need to prime them to prevent the over curing.
Miniatures come with MDF bases supplied by Sarissa Precision.

Production and Shipping
Please note that all orders placed through this UK website are produced at and shipped from Lion Tower Miniatures Limited (Trading as The Lions Tower), located in Solihull, UK.
We are not currently registered for VAT so there should be none to pay on any orders whether UK or international.
Production
STL files and other digital products are already loaded into the product, and once added to your basket and paid for, will be added to your library. Please ensure that you use a registered account in order that you can come back to download the products when you need to.
All of our physical products are 3D printed to order on a first-come-first-served basis. Please allow up to 10 working days for us to process your order. During busy periods this may be a little longer but you will be kept up to date on progress.
Prints are carried out on a resin 3D printer with a <25 micron XY pixel resolution, and printed at 0.25mm layer height. This ensures the best possible quality for you.
Our resin of choice is Phrozen Aqua 4K - it is fantastic for picking up the detail on the miniatures and has enough flexibility once fully cured to be robust enough for regular handling and gaming.
The printed models are thoroughly cleaned to remove any excess resin from the surface and all support material is removed* and the model is quality inspected to ensure that it meets our high standards. They are then cured so they are safe for you to handle.
Some of our models may be supplied in multiple parts, and all are supplied with a separate base. Simply test fit the parts dry so that you know how the model assembles, and then use superglue to fix the components together. After holding the parts together for a few seconds, the glue should have cured and the parts will be fixed securely.
The resin we use for 3D printing is UV curing, so exposure to UV light is what turns it from a liquid into a solid. We supply the models perfectly cured and cleaned, ready to paint and game with. Exposure to sunlight may continue to cure the resin resulting in a more brittle finish. To preserve the flexibility of the models, please paint them as soon as possible - even a simple coat of primer is enough to block the sunlight and prevent excess curing.
*There may be some fine micro supports around the miniature but these can be quickly and easily removed using a scalpel or hobby knife.
