3D model description

Intended for 3d print.

Note: Images are cropped in the slider and preview display. CLICK on images to enlarge them and view them in their entirety.

Chess set based on units from the Castle and Necropolis faction in Heroes of Might & Magic 3.
The units are intended to correlate to chess pieces, in the following order:

CASTLE SIDE

  • Halberdier - Pawn
  • Champion - Knight
  • Crusader - Bishop
  • Zealot - Rook
  • Archangel - Queen
  • Warrior Hero - King

NECROPOLIS SIDE

  • Skeleton Warrior - Pawn
  • Dread Knight - Knight
  • Vampire Lord - Bishop
  • Power Lich - Rook
  • Ghost Dragon - Queen
  • Wizard Hero - King

See image gallery for renders of each model.
The model pack also includes chess piece platforms to place the units on. The platforms vary in height depending on the value of the unit placed on it. The lowest platform is used for the pawns, the middle height platform is used for knights, bishops and rooks, and the tallest platform is used for the queen and king. There are two types of platforms, one for the Castle side and one for the Necropolis side. You can also print the platforms with or without nametags. Again, see the image gallery for renders of the nametags.

There are also a number of alternative versions of the units. There's an unmounted version of the Castle side Warrior Hero, alternative poses for the Vampire Lord, et cetera. See image gallery for renders of all alternative versions.

Printing instructions

Print one platform, and one model, to create a complete chess piece. There are quite a few models included in the set, including a great number of alternative versions of the "official", recommended lineup of units. For the sake of providing some guidance, all alternative models are named "OPTIONAL". If you want to print the recommended "official" lineup of units, only print models without the OPTIONAL suffix. Note that this only applies to actual units - you still need to select which platforms to print and use for yourself.
Also note that all models will need to have their size adjusted in order to fit onto the platforms. Always load both a unit and a platform into the slicer in order to calibrate model sizes and make sure that one is not too large/small for the other. You can then remove either before printing.

Designer's notes

The following section is information about the design process, what the idea behind the models were and why they turned out the way they did, et cetera. It is not strictly speaking something you as a customer need to know, but you may find it interesting.

This chess set was originally commissioned by a customer, before being released to the public in its current form. It developed in iterations, and many models were altered or discarded as the customer decided on how to proceed forward. Some of the discarded previous iterations have been included in this model pack as a sort of bonus. You are free to use them as alternative units for the chess set, or as standalone models.
Most of the units are clearly based on Homm3 units. The main exeption is the hero/king units. As per the commissioner's instructions, the Castle hero/king is based on artwork from Heroes 6, while the Necropolis hero/king is loosely based on the hero Sandro from the Homm series.
Many of the units included in this set have also been released as separate products, so if you come across models that look similar to the ones included in this chess set, you are indeed correct.
