August Fantasy Release!
🕑 Added 2023-08-01 04:31:12 +0000 UTCThe Fantasy Release for August is ready for Preview! The models will be on patreon/Tribes by the end of the Week.
This month we bounce Back to Torogod, Our Fictional Medieval Slavic Faction, and its Genuis Naming convention changing a single Letter from the very Real ‘Novgorod’...
So starting out with My favourite Models are the Druzhina, these like there Namesake are essentially the Keiven Rus Equivilent to Heathguard. In our Minds these will Pair well with some of the Eastern Varangian Dwarves
These 4 Models are all equipped with Decorative helmets, Spears modelled on, however removable Shields. The Shields are all attached via a strap slung over the models shoulder under the Cloak, so you can use whichever Alternate Shields you like. Mounted Versions will certainly be coming down the line
Next up is a little diorama, a Boyar in Plate armour with an Advisor, and a Milita Banner bearer whos design is brought back from the original milita sculpts, the Banner bearer has a Modular Head, and the table is also separate
The last 2 Kits are City Guard, they are Dressed in Warm fur lined coats over mail, aswell as the standard issue gorget, but drop the Shoulder armour and Vambraces. The Shields and heads are all removable, the heads are compatible with the existing heads, aswell as new options provided, the Shields are classic Medieval shields, changing both Heads and Shields can really redefine the look and purpose of these figures, they are prime for kitbashing.
Down the line i intend to do Mounted versions for these models. I like the idea of doing a few on horses at rest poses, and having them patrol the Streets of your RP game. Then using the dismounts to chase the Player characters down the ally ways.
Next month im going back to the Dwarves from July, a mainly covering Cav, but potentially Archers, and Blunderbusses. Drop any requests below!

I've been thinking about putting together an Angmar army themed around evil humans and I have to say that these guys will fit the bill pretty much perfectly. I'll probably end up trimming off the fur bits of the helmets and going for some of the simpler, more norman-esque helms (evil wastes no time on such fripperies, only spikes). Personally I would hope that you either sculpt some of the evil men or perhaps continue on with some of the armies from the Hobbit. It's painful having to choose between your sculpts and the perry miniatures, with the hobbit stuff I have no such difficulty.

Yessss the Angmarim or Rhurdar would also be great factions as well!
Would you consider doing another evil fantasy faction, such as easterlings/haradrim? I love the dwarves and torgorod units but would really enjoy seeing the evil side expanded! Keep up the good work
