May Release: Grail Knights ready to download!

Hi guys! ⚔️

The May Release is finally available to download! 🎉🎉

It’s been a crazy first year here in Highlands Miniatures. We've grown much more than we expected to and we're anxious about the future which is to come.

We’ve been thinking about launching a new painting contest this month to celebrate the end of the first season. What do you think? Are you ready to show your painting talent and your diorama skills? We’ll make a post with all the rules info and prizes tomorrow, but there’ll be a few more prizes this time (and more diverse entry categories for all kind of painters) compared to the first painting contest we did a few months ago!

By the way, as you can see in the preview images, for this release we’ve tried to implement a different way to glue the horses to the bases, with some grass under the feet to increase the surface to glue them, that’s why we haven’t created any detailed base this time, just the simple round and square base (except the horse number 5, which has rocks in the base to hold the pose of the horse)

Also, if you feel that the standard supports for the horses are too big (or too small, but they are really big) you can easily change the tip diameter of the supports inside the Lychee file in one second from 0.5 to 0.4 or whatever tip diameter you want, just selecting all the supports (drag and select) and changing the number in the right panel menu. Here you have a little video we did a few months ago talking about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIkI5bzIQZU&t

The May Release, the Grail Knights, is composed by:

  • Grail Knights Core Unit (UPLODADED)

  • Grail Knights Command Group (UPLODADED)

  • Shields (UPLOADED)

  • Alternative heads (UPLOADED)

Hola! Los enlaces de descarga son válidos exclusivamente durante el mes, ya que son sobre-escritos mensualmente con las nuevas miniaturas. También enviamos los archivos a través de nuestra tienda de MyMiniFactory al email que usas en Patreon para enlazar los archivos a tu cuenta de MyMiniFactory y tenerlos siempre disponibles. En caso de no tener cuenta (cosa que recomendamos encarecidamente), si nos mandas un mensaje privado te podemos volver a enviar el enlace de descarga de MyMiniFactory a tu email! :)

Extra heads a separate download or do I need to download the entire May archive again?

H
Highlands Miniatures · May 21, 2021

Hi Jon! We've made minor changes in some pre-supported files along with the alternative heads, so we've updated the entire release (so yes, you have to download the entire zip again). Sorry for the incovenience! :)

Como sugerencia para el futuro (ojalá os parezca bien y sea en un futuro próximo), una dotación esquelética para el tebuchet. / As a suggestion for next releases (I hope you like the idea and it become a short term release) I would vouch for an Skeleton Trebuchet crew for your trebuchet mini,

Hola Carlos! Hace unos meses pusimos una publicación por aquí (Project X se llamaba), en el que anunciabamos nuestro primer Kickstater para implicar a todos los patrones y buscar sugerencias, que va a ir sobre Medievales y, especialmente, No Muertos, para completar ambos ejércitos definitivamente e incluir unidades especiales, armas de asedio (no muertas también) y muchos héroes! :)

Any estimate on why the alternate heads will be uploaded?

H
Highlands Miniatures · May 16, 2021

They will be ready tomorrow in the Archive! :)

Will you be doing more undead characters or is that it?

H
Highlands Miniatures · May 15, 2021

Hi James! We'll do more undead and medieval characters in the future, specially through the Kickstarter we're working on about Medieval and Undead heroes and special units, and maybe through Patreon goals or other special releases, but no as a monthly patreon releases. :)

I really appreciate the extra "grass" to make it easier to glue the models. I've been working on the questing knights you've put out and I'm not quite sure how to securely attach some of them to bases.

I'd love to see some female knights, both on foot and mounted from your hand. It was your crusaders that caught me, and some female crusaders/knights in chain mail would be perfect :)

Jason Davenport · May 10, 2021

A humble request if I may. A hero would be super sweet!! Maybe a little larger in scale and something special. I'm sure I could do it just fine with what is here, it was just a thought.

I'm putting together a Knight army for WoE. This is going to be great for that! Cheers!
