July 2022 Release First Preview: Dwarfs, Sons of Ymir!
Good evening guys! ⚔️⚔️
The day has finally come, and after many many days of hard work and a lot of months planning this upcoming army, today we can start talking for real about the next fantasy army that will come to Highlands Miniatures next July 2022: Dwarfs, Sons of Ymir! 🎊
But first of all, what are we going to see for the first release of this amazing army? Well.. let's see! The upcoming July 2022 Release will be composed of:
7x Dwarfs WarriorsCore Miniatures with modular weapons and shields
5x Dwarfs WarriorsCore Miniatures with two-handed axes and monopose
3x Dwarfs WarriorsCommand Group
5x Dwarfs Marksmen Core Miniatures: Dwarfs with hand crafted gunpowder guns
1x Dwarf Marksmen Captain: Dwarf captain with hand crafted gunpowder guns
In this preview images you can see the first seven (7) dwarf warriors miniatures with modular weapons and shields. They will come with a couple of axes and hammers as modular weapons and the shields you can see in the images.
Tomorrow we will showcase the entire Dwarf Warrior Unit with one-handed weapon and shields and the three (3) Dwarfs Warriors Command Group. We will also start to talk about the background and lore of this fantasy army.
👉🏻 About the Dwarfs
We have received many amazing suggestions and ideas along these months for this upcoming fantasy army. There will be some key elements along the entire army to make the units different between each other: the amount of details and engraving in the armours and weapons, the designs of the helmets, the kind of armour they use (chainmail vs plate armour vs nothing), or the shape of the beards. You can see more about the suggestions we have received in the comment section of our Dwarf Lord Kickstarter.
As we have already said, our fantasy dwarf army will be heavily influenced by the norse aesthetic and mythology, as you can probably notice from these first dwarf warriors, so you can expect more about that line in the upcoming miniatures.
By the way, as we are starting a new army we have decided to change a bit the renders, or better say, the way we showcase the miniatures.

We are super excited about this new army, but remember, we will continue working in the rest of our current armies!
Hope you like it guys, we read you as always! ❤️

Honestly I printed 3000pts of Dwarves over a year ago from a different sculptor for one of my gaming buddies... But now it's time to print MY dwarves!
Thank you very much for your comment Chad! We are glad you like them!!
They look fantastic!
Thank you very much Joseph!! Glad you like them :)
Sigh. I just spent 300 bucks on OOP Warhammer Dwarfs.
Love these. Should be joy to paint!
Thank you very much Kevin! Yes, we would love to see these dwarfs printed and painted by the community!
I honestly thought when you started dipping into the more fantastical stuff it was going to be really meh, but your knocking it outta the park.
Thank you very much for your trust in our work! We are huge fans of dwarfs so we really want to do our best work with them!
Absolutely beautiful. The design is so simple, in the best way possible. Way too many over-designed Dwarf models now. Only way this release could be better is if I got to print them on my birthday in July, but having to print them a little later is a small price to pay for getting my favorite fantasy race from one of my favorite creators.
Thank you very much for your lovely comment Jesse, glad you like the miniatures and thank you for your trust in our work! Well.. if your birthday is around mid-July you will be able to print them on time! :D
Great. Nice classic looking dwarves! Will the heads be modular so I can choose just the heads that don’t have horned helmets?
The Norse wore horned helmets very rarely, as far as we can tell only for ceremonial purposes. I doubt you can do modular heads - beards are a problem - but multishell models could be a solution.
Now THESE are Dwarves!!! Thank you! Finally, someone is doing Dwarves the way I’ve always envisioned them! I was very nervous for this release as I had such high hopes. So far? You’ve absolutely nailed it! Loving it!
Thank you very much for your trust in our work Karsten! We really wanted to bring back our memories from the old school dwarfs from 20 years ago that we use to play with, and we have tried our best to do it! :D
hell yeah dude. dorfs
These are ace. They'll be hitting my printer for certain. The rest will undoubtedly be great
Thank you very much Liam!! We would love to see patron's photos of the printed and painted dwarfs next month! :D
God! These are true dwarfs!
Thank you very much Massimiliano! That was really our goal with the design of the miniatures, to bring back the feeling from those old dwarf miniatures from 20 years ago!
Now how can I put this delicately, as a pointy eared wood elf player aeons ago. I have to say I could be persuaded to play dwarves in the future. These are lovely sculpts.
well, thank you very much for that compliment Stephen, it is the best thing we can hear right now! haha When the time arrives, we will try to make the elves justice with our sculpts! :D
That's going to be awesome! Thanks for reading all of my suggestions over on the kickstarter! Just one suggestion, I think it would look good if the details on the hair were a better sharper. The helmets, both with and without horns are very good, and taking the horns off is an easy way to add more variety to a large unit. Thanks for your sculpting efforts.
Increíble,llevo esperando esto..no sabéis cuanto, vaya pasada!!!!! Muchas gracias!
Muchas gracias Alberto! Teniamos muchas ganas de empezar ya este ejercito tras varios meses trabajando en el diseño de las miniaturas y la estetica del ejercito. Me alegro que te gusten!
Just wow. These are going to be fantastic. Keep up the great work!
Thank you very much Nathaniel! We really wanted to start working on this army after many months of design work behind our back. We love dwarfs and we really want to make an amazing fantasy army!
I love them !! Good job !
Thank you very much Enji! We are trying our best to capture the essence of the old dwarfs and mix it with the norse aesthetic and mythology. We are having a great time with these miniatures!
