Honestly, you'll get better results searching through Thingiverse for files that you can just print at the same scale as these files. Having done that myself, I can tell you that there are free models that look better and print better than these. The "pre-supported" files have some significant problem areas, and when I tried to support them myself I had a rough time trying to orient the models so that I could generate decent supports. This was a big deal for me, because I bought this bundle so I could make a project for a history class that I'm in, and I wasted a lot of time trying to get these models to work. The supports on the models were just placed lazily. Having bought STLs on other sites, I know what it looks like when a designer takes time to carefully pre-support something.

Also, the details on the models are sparse - as you might expect for a model that is meant to be printed really small - but these models are VERY sparse. With a resin printer "small" does not require less detail, because resin printers excel at both of those things. Beyond the main body mesh there is (generally):

  • a simple helmet
  • a simple weapon
  • a simple shield (or accessory, like a quiver)
  • shoulderpads (with overhanging ridges that will have to be supported, no matter how you orient the model)
  • slightly larger lower legs to give the impression of "boots"

Honestly, the only part of this that I thought was good were the horse models. They had some nice dynamic posing. But, as I said before, you can find better models on Thingiverse for free. I wish I could get my money back.

Sorry to hear our pieces aren't up to your standards. So far we got very positive feedbacks from the community, but it is understandable not everyone is looking for the same from a product.
The choice of supports was intentional, as a compromise between printability, easiness to clean and quality. Pictures of the printed results, painted and unpainted, are on the product page.

I checked if there was a direct way to refund your purchase, but it appears that Wargame Vault does not allow that. I'm now writing to the WgV team to ask if there is a way to proceed.
