James Douglas, also known as the "Black Douglas," was a prominent Scottish figure during the 14th century. He is celebrated as a heroic figure in Scottish history and played a significant role in the wars of Scottish independence against English rule.
Born in 1286, James Douglas was a member of the powerful Douglas family, known for their military prowess and loyalty to the Scottish cause. He inherited his family's estates and titles, including the lordship of Douglas and the earldom of Mar, which provided him with resources and influence.
Douglas became an ardent supporter of Scottish independence and fought alongside William Wallace during the early stages of the struggle. After Wallace's execution, he continued the fight alongside Robert the Bruce, who would later become King of Scotland.
James Douglas proved himself to be a skilled and fearless warrior, leading his men with unwavering determination. He was known for his tactical brilliance and audacity on the battlefield, often taking the initiative and launching daring attacks against the English forces.
One of the most renowned episodes in James Douglas's military career was the "Douglas Larder" in 1307. With a small band of followers, he launched a surprise raid on the English garrison at Douglas Castle, successfully capturing it and routing the enemy. This victory boosted the morale of the Scottish resistance and demonstrated Douglas's skill as a military leader.
Another notable event in Douglas's life was his famous vow to carry out a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, bearing the heart of Robert the Bruce. After the death of the king, Douglas fulfilled his vow and set off on the journey. He fought in several battles during the Crusades and was known for his bravery and chivalry.
Sadly, James Douglas put his end in battle in 1330. During a skirmish with the Moors in Spain, he was killed while leading a charge against the enemy. His death was a great loss to the Scottish cause and left a void in the leadership of the Douglas family.
James Douglas's legacy lives on as a symbol of Scottish heroism and resistance. His unwavering loyalty, strategic brilliance, and fearless nature have made him a revered figure in Scottish history. His story continues to inspire and captivate people, and the miniatures depicting James Douglas in wargames serve as a tribute to his remarkable life.
In wargames, the miniatures representing James Douglas accurately capture his distinctive appearance, typically portraying him in a suit of armor, with his iconic black shield emblazoned with the heart symbol. These miniatures allow players to recreate the valor and leadership of this legendary Scottish warrior on the tabletop, reliving his remarkable exploits and honoring his memory.
Whether displayed as a centerpiece in a collection or used on the gaming table, the James Douglas miniatures add a touch of historical authenticity and evoke the spirit of medieval Scotland. They serve as a reminder of the bravery and determination of the Scottish people during a pivotal period in their history.
In conclusion, James Douglas, the "Black Douglas," was a remarkable figure in Scottish history, known for his military prowess and unwavering loyalty to the cause of Scottish independence. The miniatures depicting him in wargames allow enthusiasts to relive his heroic deeds and pay homage to his legacy as a true Scottish hero.

Frequently Asked Questions
Return policy?
We apply, the satisfied or refunded. So we do not accept returns. If there is a problem with the order we will resend or refund you, it's easier.
Production time?
In general, articles are produced in series to have stock available and to send orders within 2 to 3 days. However, some items with less sales may take 1 week. It is therefore better to allow one week on average for shipping. Do not hesitate to contact us if your order is urgent, for example for a work commission.
Lost packages?
It sometimes happens that the package is lost, damaged or amputated by the carrier. In these cases we will offer you either a reshipment or a refund.
PLA or Resin?
We mostly use SUNLU PLA+, and good quality resin (arround 50$/L). The FDM printed PLA is printed at 0.2mm / layer (usually 0.1 for high quality) and is cheaper than Resin (0.05mm/layer). We strongly advise you to choose Resin printed article to get the best quality on small details. But in most case PLA gives a good enough tabletop experience.
Resin miniatures quality?
The evolution of technology has made possible to have a quality that is far superior to failcasting, although still inferior to last generation plastic injection.
The miniatures that we print are full to avoid all the problems that could cause non-solidified resin inside.
We try to harden the miniatures enough but not too hard to keep them easy to rework / customize. We remove the vast majority of supports, but a small part may remain, especially on small, very thin parts.
Our pricing policy does not allow us to have perfect quality control, so we prefer to add a little content to compensate in case of problem on a miniature. However do not hesitate to contact us in case, we will resend the damaged miniatures as soon as possible.
Resin miniatures treatment?
Once you have received your figurines run them in hot water and trim them before exposing them to the sun for a few minutes. Usually these steps are optional but they only take a few minutes. If some parts are slightly bent, run them in hot water and you can straighten them easily.
Then make sure you have a very strong glue to assemble them, or use milliput/greenstuff in addition at the intersections. The best glue is GW's. Unlike plastic, the parts must be tightened very hard for at least 20 seconds. The best method is to use a thin layer of greenstuff at the intersections; the green stuff sticks well to the resin and sticks well so it solves the problem.
Customization?
We're happy to consider customization requests, and some of our products are designed with customization in mind. However, due to time constraints, we're unable to take on modeling requests for strictly personal projects at the moment.
Team and synergy?
As the project grows, the team widens and specializes. Everyone remains very free and brings their specific know-how. We would prefer to share the profits if we can provide you with better service in return. And we still have a lot of projects in the pipeline, which will require new skills.
Current collaborations?
At the moment, we're collaborating with several YouTubers from France who generously provide us with feedback and expose us to their audience. In the upcoming months, we're planning to expand our services to other wargame channels that speak English. Specifically, our game accessories can significantly improve the readability of online battle reports. Moreover, we aim to collaborate with other 3D modeling artists. If you possess the necessary skills and are interested in contributing to the growth of the Damocles world, or if you're considering starting a YouTube channel and would like a free set to begin with, please don't hesitate to contact us.
