August 2026 Preview: Introducing the Norse Tribes

Introducing the Norse Tribes

As we announced in our latest roadmap, we are embarked in a new visual and artistic journey in Patreon where we are developing new fantasy races and miniatures to grant you a deeper knowledge of the art and style behind the future fantasy races that will come to Highlands Miniatures.

Today we continue with the introduction of the Norse Tribes, a brutal race of warriors bred for conquest, coming next month to Highlands Miniatures.

If you'd like to see and learn more about the design of this fantasy race, please check our previous post where we first introduced the Norse Tribes.

For the upcoming August 2026 set of miniatures, we will see:

  • 12x Norse Raiders with hand weapons and shields

  • 3x Norse Raiders Command Group: captain, musician and bannerman

  • 7x Norse Raiders with two handed weapons

  • 3x Norse Raiders Command Group: captain, musician and bannerman

  • 5x Norse Bowmen

  • 10x Mounted Norse Raiders with hand weapons, spears and shields

  • 5x Mounted Norse Raiders with two handed weapons

  • 3x Mounted Norse Raiders Command Group: captain, musician and bannerman

  • 5x Norse Horses


The Mounted Norse Raiders with hand weapons and shields are designed over a 30x60mm square base.


Preview example of five (5) Mounted Norse Raiders with spear options.


Even though the two handed weapons will come separated from the bodies, due to restrictions in horse proximity and arm position, these two handed weapons are not interchangeable.


What's Next?

We will see new Norse Tribes miniatures for September 2026 with heavy infantry and heavy cavalry, the arrival of the Norse Huscarls!

Hi there! Thank you for getting in touch. No worries! The montly set of miniatures is usually available between the 10th and 15th of the month. As this is our biggest set to date, it may take a few more days! If you have any other question, please let us know!

Wow! I think this may be a record for the 5 years I have subbed. 48 models +5 horses... If my math is correct. Very. Good core units. I look forward to seeing what else comes with this line.

And we are exhausted ! haha We usually bring a bit more content when introducing a new fantasy race so players can have a decent amount of miniatures to start playing with them straight away. Glad you like them!
