Edward of Woodstock, more famously known as Edward the Black Prince, was one of the most formidable and controversial figures of the 14th century. Born in 1330 as the eldest son of Edward III, he was groomed from a young age to be a warrior and leader. The Black Prince became a central figure in the Hundred Years' War, known for his tactical brilliance and ruthless efficiency on the battlefield.
His reputation as a war leader was cemented during the Battle of Crécy in 1346, where he led the English forces to a decisive victory against the French. This battle, along with his success at the Battle of Poitiers in 1356, established his military prowess and solidified his legendary status. However, Edward the Black Prince's legacy is marred by the brutal tactics he employed during these campaigns, earning him the reputation of a bloodthirsty war criminal in the eyes of his enemies.
One of the most notorious incidents attributed to the Black Prince was the massacre at Limoges in 1370. After the city, which had previously pledged allegiance to Edward, defected to the French side, he led a savage assault to retake it. The attack resulted in the slaughter of nearly 3,000 men, women, and children, a gruesome act that has been remembered as one of the darkest moments of his career. His ruthless approach to warfare, characterized by the scorched earth tactics employed during his rides across France, left a trail of destruction and suffering that defined his legacy as much as his battlefield victories.
In the realm of wargaming, miniatures of Edward the Black Prince capture the dual nature of his legacy—his prowess as a leader and the brutal realities of medieval warfare. These figures, often depicted in his distinctive black armor, evoke the fear and respect that he commanded during his life. For wargamers, the Black Prince represents both a strategic mastermind and a ruthless commander, offering a rich and complex character to explore on the tabletop.
The Black Prince's impact extends beyond his military campaigns. His leadership and actions had a lasting influence on the conduct of warfare and the political landscape of the time. Despite his death in 1376, a year before his father, Edward III, his legacy lived on through his son, Richard II, who would ascend to the throne of England.
In conclusion, Edward the Black Prince remains a figure of enduring fascination—a warrior prince whose military genius was matched only by his capacity for brutality. His life and legacy offer a stark reminder of the darker aspects of medieval chivalry, making him a compelling and complex figure for historical exploration and wargaming alike.

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.
