Unlocked Patreon Goal and first October event!


Hi guys! ⚔️

Hope you’re having a terrific Saturday :) 

This post is meant to be another way to say thank you all for the support and lovely words in the last couple of months. We couldn’t imagine a better way to start the second season of Highlands! We’re really grateful for the incredible welcome of the Empire of Sun and the Barbarian Hordes (Yes, we promise you there’ll be more "barbarian" minis very very soon).

Today we’re super proud to say that you have unlocked the 1000 Patron Goal (one month ago but it took us a while to finish it, we had to change almost every pose) which was the variation of the Winged Hussars on foot. Because let’s be honest... you don’t have enough minis to print, let’s add some more! This time the wings come separate from the body, so it is easier for print and transport the miniatures, and also useful in case you want to create an unit without wings. These eight miniatures are being pre-supported and they will be available soon.

And we can also announce the first event for this October in Highlands Miniatures... *drum roll*... the War Steam Machine Design Contest for the Empire of Sun! Along this month, all of you will take the place of a hard work renaissance engineer under the rule of the Sun Emperor to design your own version of a War Steam Machine, and the best design will be chosen by the council of the Mergenheim Engineering School to be part of the Sunland army.

We'll let you know more about the contest and the rules to participate the next Monday    4.

Have a lovely weekend guys,

Marta and Ramon ❤️

I would absolutely love to see these with full backs so I don't have to fill the backs if I don't want to use the wings

Love these sculpts, The armour, furs and weapons all look great, I'm glad your doing an option without the wings for the ground units though. few points would be the hero has a sheath for a sword while wielding a pick, are there variants with a sword & could we get a hilt in the scabbard for that pose please. I also prefer the helmets with the front plate flipped up so a couple of head variants of that style would be awesome. As always keep up the amazing work, I think its been said a bunch but your guys sculpt detail & quality is just getting better month after month!

Hussaria is always nice to have... but - the beards are a bit off. Yes, full beards were worn, but the long moustache was more fashionable. ;) If you need any designhints about Polish Szlachta or Ukrainian Cossacks, don't bother to disturb me. ;)

Thank you Alexander! If you have Discord, we have a channel dedicated only to Volhynia where patrons can share reference images and discuss about units and so on! :D

The contest is such an awesome idea! I love minis and whatnot but I don’t think I’m some awesome painter. I see all these competitions out there and it’s always about painting. I get that it’s a big part and am amazed by all the talented artists but I really appreciate the switch up.

Thank you very much Nicholas! We're glad you like the idea, we wanted to make something different this time, and everybody will be able to join the contest because even a detailed description of the idea (a text) will be valid with reference images , or a hand-draw design in a paper :D
