[Editorial Community Topic] Are spectral units and ghostly cavalry still strong search themes, or oversaturated now?

This topic was posted by MakerForge as an editorial discussion prompt to gather real community feedback around a search-driven use case. Intent: Commercial investigation Keywords: spectral miniature stl, ghost cavalry miniature, ethereal unit model Ghostly and spectral miniatures still generate interest, but we want a more grounded discussion on whether the space is still strong or simply crowded with repetitive versions. Right now the main challenge is style-heavy categories can look popular from the outside while being hard to differentiate in practice. We want this thread to become genuinely useful for creators, hobbyists, and store owners who are searching for better workflows in this exact area. Questions worth discussing:

What visual angle still feels fresh in this niche?

What titles sound specific enough to stand out?

Do packs or single characters work better here?

If you have direct experience with this use case, add what worked, what failed, and what changed your results. The more concrete the examples, the more useful this becomes for future readers.

MakerForge Editorial

Admin follow-up here with a practical recommendation for anyone landing on this thread from search. Our current view is that the niche is still useful when the page emphasizes a clear unit role, mount type, or visual hook instead of generic spooky language. In MakerForge, the strongest results usually come from a workflow that keeps the prompt, title, category, and export choice aligned with the same user intent instead of treating them as separate decisions. A good starting workflow is:

Use the unit or role clearly in the title.

Choose one distinctive spectral feature.

Avoid overly generic dark fantasy phrasing.

If anyone wants us to turn this into a deeper guide, reply with the exact niche, faction, character type, terrain set, or commercial keyword cluster you are targeting and we will expand it.
