July 2022 Full Preview: Dwarfs, Sons of Ymir!

Hi guys! ⚔️

We have created this post to summarize this July 2022 Release in Highlands Miniatures: Dwarfs, Sons of Ymir. 

This July Release is the first one for our new fantasy Dwarf Army and it is going to be amazing. We would love to see these twenty three (23) dwarf miniatures printed and painted by the community! 🪓🪓

The July 2022 Release is 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

  • 3x Dwarf Marksmen Command Group

All the files are now ready to download from the Drive Archive.

As always, after the month ends, we will send the files through our MyMiniFactory store to your patron emails. Remember to redeem the files and link them to your MMF account because after the month ends, the files will be removed from the Drive Archive!

As an aside note, we have seen an increase in the amount of shared pirated files in Telegram channels and other online forums. We know that we can't do much about that because those platforms don't do anything about fighting piracy, but we are going to adopt a zero tolerance policy against STL piracy and pirated files. 

In the About section of the Patreon you can see more about it and what this zero tolerance policy implies.

Hope you like it guys, we read you as always! ❤️

I don't need more Dwarfs in my Dwarf Army, but these are so nice that I'm going to do a unit with great weapons just for the fun of it.

Hope you do not mind me asking but will you be doing a command group for the two handed weapons warriors? Loving the designs :)

Simon · August 3, 2022

I totally understand, I haven't suffered personally from it but I can imagine it must be frustrating to see models you've released pop up a few hours later somewhere else. Gah I'm really excited to see what's coming next! And to get these models! And to see all the rest as well! Damned waiting :D

Simon · August 3, 2022

There's always going to be piracy, it's just the way it is. I'm happy to support by staying pledged because I want to help make sure people like you are able to actually make enough out of your abilities to keep the great models coming. For me, these are so much closer to the artwork of Dwarfs I always liked than any other models that it's a no-brainer. I joined too late for the Sunland models which scratch the itch for that kind of human army but I'm more than happy with this set. I'm very excited to see if you do any heavily armoured infantry (trying to avoid terms from specific wargames)

Thank you for your words and you support Simon! Yeah, sadly the piracy will be part of this world for ever so we try to not focus on it that much, even if sometimes it is really annoying! Glad you like the dwarfs. For September you will see the first unit of those heavy armoured dwarfs that will come to the Sons of Ymir! :)

Loving these Dwarfs! 20 warriors & 10 rifle dudes printed off already. Wee question though; is there a recommending settings for these prints? The chainmail looks like small bumps & the faces lack any of the detail in my prints sadly, got a feeling I'm getting something wrong

H
Highlands Miniatures · August 2, 2022

Hi Sean! Glad you like them! The settings depend very much of the resin and printer you are using, maybe you are over exposing the prints so some of the details got lost. For example, we use an Elegoo Saturn and Siraya Tech ABS Navy Grey as a resin with 2.5s for exposure time and the details come out quite good.

Michael Higdon · August 1, 2022

are you planning on doing all the one page rules units for these absolutely incredible dwarves?

Michael Grudowski · July 30, 2022

Sorry to bother you but I can not find where I get the discount code. Need to buy some empire models as I just joined for the dwarfs and have now fallen in love with the empire you have done.

Highlands Miniatures · July 30, 2022

Hi Michael! Glad you like our miniatures. Inside this post you can see the 50% discount code for July: https://www.patreon.com/posts/44408103 We change the code each month, so keep an eye on that post next month to see what is the discount code for August :D

Jakub Karaś · July 29, 2022

I saw the advert of those dwarfs, and I had to join to get them! Quick question, are you planning to add to dwarves in the future?

H
Highlands Miniatures · July 30, 2022

Hi Jakub! Thank you and glad you like them! Yes, we will be creating an entire fantasy dwarf army along 2022 and 2023. In other posts you can already see the dwarfs coming next August :)

Parker Trotter · July 26, 2022

These are amazing. I have seen much of Highlands stuff but this hit the nostalgia button for me. I love them. Any chance of crossbows or throwing axes in the future?

H
Highlands Miniatures · July 27, 2022

Hi Parker! Thank you for your comment, glad you like them! We want to develop an entire fantasy dwarf army along 2022 and 2023, so yes, a lot of units and characters will come! :)

Rocco MiniaturePainting · July 25, 2022

This is what GW should have done with the plastic warriors sprue from 7th-8th edition. Perfect! Thankyou.

H
Highlands Miniatures · July 25, 2022

Thank you very much Rocco, glad you like them! We are trying to bring back the idea of dwarfs we have from our childhood memories!

Paul West · July 24, 2022

can bulk out my existing dwarfs now they look a perfect match for my 6th edition and before

devolutionary · July 22, 2022

Fine. Take my money. I have been pining away about the lack of GW-style dwarf models around for a long time, and I just can't say no to them. I can't. Look at their grumpy faces and big beards?! I am so very amped.

J
Jan van Nyenrode · July 21, 2022

So now I am also wondering, are there plans for Goblins in the future?

Just joined as a Patron, and the printed miniatures really add to showing off the release!

H
Highlands Miniatures · July 19, 2022

Thank you Jan! We always try to print the miniatures to showcase them and also to be 100% sure that everything is working fine! :)

Peter Santucci · July 13, 2022

Amazing as always. What are the future plans for this army? Hoping for crossbowmen.,... :)

H
Highlands Miniatures · July 13, 2022

Thank you Peter! The main idea is to create a full fantasy dwarf army. In a few hours we will make a post with the information about the upcoming August 2022 Release! :D

Graham Steel · July 12, 2022

Love these dwarf models, I joined your patreon because of them. Your other stuff is amazing but this is what sold me.

H
Highlands Miniatures · July 13, 2022

Thank you very much Graham, glad you like them!

Seperatix · July 12, 2022

Some time ago I asked you about your dwarves and I was told to wait until winter. And as i'am seeing them right now I would have waited just to hold them because they are so good. At first I wasnt sold on the theme of the army because I always liked the dwarves from LotR but you nailed it with your own theme. And I see now that they will fit greatly with my empire Army. Thank you for giving these old army's a second chance. And what a great looking chance these proud warriors have gotten!

H
Highlands Miniatures · July 12, 2022

Thank you for your lovely comment and support! All of this wouldn't be possible without the support of the community. We will also see some crossovers between our Sunland army and the Dwarf army, it is going to be a great project to work on! Glad you like the miniatures! :)

Chadohfax · July 12, 2022

Finally! They are amazing! You keep sculpting Fantasy models, and I will keep backing. I already have 2 other complete dwarf army files from other sculptors, but honestly I love everything you sculpt so I will be printing these as my personal Dwarf army. Thank you!

H
Highlands Miniatures · July 12, 2022

Glad you like them Chad! We are trying our best with these dwarfs, they are one of our favourite fantasy races!

S
Steven Crawford · July 12, 2022

Alright, so yeah. Dwarves. My weak spot. So I signed up. ;) Awesome models! (I look forward to non-dwarves also)

H
Highlands Miniatures · July 12, 2022

Thank you very much Steven! The dwarfs are definitely one of our favourite fantasy races. We will keep working on these lads at least for the rest of the summer!
