Imperial Guard – Desert Raiders
The Desert Raiders of the Imperial Guard hail from the scorched and unforgiving dunes of their homeworld, a vast desert planet where only the hardiest survive. Clad in layered, weather-beaten robes and wrapped in desert scarves that shield them from the harsh, relentless sun, these warriors have mastered the art of desert warfare. Their eyes, hidden behind dark lenses, scan the horizon like hawks, ever-watchful for signs of enemy movement.
Each Raider is a master of stealth and ambush, using the shifting sands and rocky outcrops as natural cover. Armed with a blend of sleek, lightweight weapons, such as long-range lascarbines and elegant curved blades, they strike swiftly and disappear just as quickly, leaving only the wind-blown sand and the echo of their war cries. Their weapons and armor are camouflaged in tones of sandy beige, brown, and deep ochre, blending seamlessly with the desert terrain.
The Raiders are guided by ancient traditions, handed down through generations. Ritual tattoos, etched into their skin with desert ink, tell tales of battles fought and comrades lost. Some of their elite carry talismans—scavenged relics and charms believed to protect them from the desert's many dangers and to bring them luck on the battlefield.
In battle, they ride swift, lizard-like mounts native to their world, allowing them to traverse the dunes with silent speed. These creatures, with scales the color of the desert sands, are trained to move without stirring up the ground beneath them, enhancing the Raiders' ability to surprise their foes. When they attack, they do so with a fury that mirrors the desert storms, striking with precision and retreating before the enemy can regroup.
The Desert Raiders have a reputation not only for their tenacity but also for their cunning. They are known to employ traps, mirages, and hit-and-run tactics that disorient and demoralize their enemies. They navigate the battlefield using a complex network of signals and codes, whispered across the dunes in a language known only to their kin.
Bound by an unbreakable code of honor, they fight not just for the Imperial Guard, but for the survival of their people and the harsh world that forged them. Each battle is another chapter in their story, every victory a testament to their indomitable spirit.

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.
