Is Mounted Squires worth it if you’re shopping in Gaming?

You know that specific feeling when you stare at a regiment of infantry on your table and realize you’re missing the cavalry punch? Or maybe you’re building a new army and need a reliable, print-ready squire unit to fill out the ranks without spending hours modeling from scratch. That is exactly the gap Mounted Squires is designed to close. It is not a full army; it is a focused, high-utility unit pack for tabletop wargamers who want to expand their mounted options quickly.

Mounted Squires from Forest Dragon is a $10 digital download that gives you a complete 10mm regiment of squires on horseback. It is a no-fuss resource for resin 3D printing, engineered to save you the headache of manual support placement. If you are looking to add depth to your fantasy or historical force, this is a practical way to get print-ready files that are ready to slice immediately.

Quick answer

If you are ready to add some horseback action to your table, view the Mounted Squires files to confirm the scale matches your current project.

What you’re actually buying

At $10, you are not just buying a single model; you are getting a full regimental strip. The core of the offer is a set of mounted squires in 10mm scale, provided as STL files that are fully supported. This is the big selling point for resin printers: the files are intended to be printed with the bases flat to the build plate, meaning you can slice them and hit print without worrying about complex support structures hanging from the horses or riders. It turns a potentially messy print job into a straightforward afternoon task.

Beyond the main strip, the pack includes command stands, giving you a ready-made option for your unit leader. This is a thoughtful touch that saves you from having to hunt for a separate command base that fits the 10mm scale. The files are also provided in individual, based, and supported formats, so if you prefer to print your squires one by one rather than in a long strip, you have that flexibility. (Mounted Squires)

For those who like to customize their bases or use specific third-party base systems, the pack includes unsupported, baseless versions of the squires. This dual approach—pre-supported for ease, and raw for customization—makes the Mounted Squires pack versatile enough for both the “I want to print this tonight” crowd and the “I want to sculpt my own base” crowd.

Why it’s on our radar

This pack stands out because it respects the time of the printer. In the 3D printing hobby, the most valuable asset is often not the model itself, but the readiness of the file. By providing fully supported STLs that are optimized for resin printing (flat to the plate), Forest Dragon removes the biggest friction point in the workflow. You don’t have to spend an hour in a slicer adding supports to thin horse legs and squire armor; the work is done for you. (Mounted Squires)

The inclusion of both command stands and individual variants adds a layer of utility that many single-unit packs lack. You get a complete tactical option for your army, not just a single figure to admire. At $10, the price point is accessible enough to be a low-risk addition to your library, especially if you are looking to expand a specific faction or add a cavalry element to a predominantly infantry force.

What actually matters

Before you hit the buy button, keep these specific details in mind to ensure the Mounted Squires files fit your workflow:

• Resin Only: These files are explicitly designed for resin 3D printers. If you are using an FDM printer, the 10mm scale and the pre-applied supports will likely not work for you. (Mounted Squires)
• Scale Check: Confirm that 10mm is the scale you are currently building in. Mixing scales can be tricky, and these files are not provided in 15mm or 20mm. (Mounted Squires)
• License Limitations: The license is strictly for personal use. You can modify the files for your own models, but you cannot sell the physical prints, distribute the STLs, or share modified derivatives. This is standard for digital goods, but worth noting if you run a print-on-demand service. (Mounted Squires)
• Base Orientation: The supported files are designed to be printed with the bases flat to the build plate. This is ideal for resin, but if you prefer to print figures upright or on a different orientation, you will need to use the unsupported, baseless versions and add your own supports.

Mid-check

If the 10mm scale and resin-specific supports align with your current print queue, this is a straightforward addition to your digital library. (Mounted Squires)
