July Fantasy Release
🕑 Added 2023-07-01 06:10:04 +0000 UTCThe July Release for Fantasy Is now Fully uploaded! And here is the Preview
This months Fantasy Release are a Eastern Dwarf Faction Named Gur-Adur (thankyou harnmaeron on Patreon) the Premise is Dwarves that do not solely Originate From Nordic/saxon influences, so i first looked at this idea a year ago with Ivaldi and brogir, and the Dwarven Cataphracts, the Idea was Dwarves who Just like the Vikings, might Have travelled from there Home down to a Empire analogous to the Byzantines, and taken up service as a Equivalent to the Varangian guard, These Dwarves are a Extension off that concept, but as there Own fully Fledged kingdom to be Fleshed out down the Line.These Dwarves Draw Cues from Babylonian and Assyrian Beards, Shields and Lamellar Cuirass as well as later eastern Cultures.
So the First Kit of note are the 4 2 Handed Weapons dwarves, normally the Models come in 1 Configuration, they have axes or hammers or whatever, this month i tried something new, these 4 Models each come in 3 varieties, pole arms, Axes, and Mattocks, so you can mix them in a Unit for Variety, or have Seperate Weapon Profiles.
The next 2 Kits are Dwarven 5 Spearmen and 3 Warriors with Swords, these all are designed to be Used with the tower Shields, of which there are 7, 6 with animal Designs and the 7th is Blank, they will rank up Nicely Into a Phalanx on Square Bases or work on rounds, The Spears are a Separate component, this is to make the printing Process easier as Spears on models are prone to breaking, this also future proofs your models cause if the spear does break on the model after painting, it will be easier to remove and replace, it also means the Spearman at rest Has the option of a Banner
The Last kit is 4 Dwarven Crossbowmen, these are all Single Piece Miniatures, with Swords in Sheaths, and Depending on your Game System, can use the Shields from the other Models as Pavises
In a coming month, potentially next month, or the one after, i will Continue on with Heros, and Updating the Cataphracts but For Now the troops will Standalone as a Unique Regiment in your army and if you do need a Model to Lead them Ivaldi and Brogir will be Perfect stand ins until dedicated captains and kings are sculpted!

Wow. Andrew,.. you like COMPLETELY knocked it out of the park this month. I love seeing you lean into these ranges you are undisputedly the best at. Namely dwarfs and middle ages. Both sets are *chef's kiss*. Kudos!
