Spooktober 2nd preview: Skeleton Warrior Unit with swords!

Good evening guys,

Hope you are all doing great and have had a great weekend.

After the first preview we did a few days ago about the upcoming Spooktober, the October 2022 Release in Highlands Miniatures, that you can see HERE, we are ready again to show you more undead miniatures to fill the lines of Transilvanya...

But first... You guys know that we are huge fan of the Halloween season and we always try to create big releases for this special time. We have been working hard the past few weeks to define what we will be able to bring this upcoming October and here you have the full list... are you ready for some undeads?! 💀🎃

The October 2022 Release will be composed of:

  • Four (4) Mounted Skeleton Core Miniatures

  • Three (3) Mounted Skeleton Command Group

  • Five (5) Undead Horses

  • Six (6) Skeleton Warriors Core Miniatures

  • Three (3) Skeleton Warriors Command Group

  • Seven (7) Ghouls Miniatures

  • The Corpse Cart

  • Halloween Event Surprise Miniature 

And that's not all! As we are super hyped about our new fantasy Dwarf Army, the Sons of Ymir, we will also have an incredible unit composed of: 

  • Five (5) Dwarf *Unnanounced* Core Miniatures

  • Three (3) Dwarf *Unnanounced* Command Group

We will announce this unit soon, so stay tuned!

So, finally... for today... the Skeleton Warriors unit with swords and shields preview is here! 

As we promised you guys last time we worked on Transilvanya, here you have the alternative unit for our Skeleton Warriors, now coming with swords and shields. The unit is again composed of Six (6) Core Skeleton Warriors with swords and shields and Three (3) Skeleton Warriors Command Group miniatures. Due to the design and thickness of these miniatures, they aren't modular. 

We hope to not die in the process of creating this big release as it seems we are not going to see the sunlight again in a few weeks!

Hope you like the miniatures guys, we ready you as always!

Very happy to have printed a lot of 20 of your skeletons, Not a single break while removing them from the supports, I was extremely impressed by this. IDK who you got supporting but you tell them to keep up the great work!

Those are awesome. I think it would be fun if you did a generic mummies unit, just like there used be just one Vampire Counts/Tomb Kings army back in the day. After all, Egypt is known for mummies, but it's not the only place to have them.

Honestly this all looks great! Can't wait to see what you have in store for us. With the new mounted skeletons coming though, is there any chance you might touch up the dark knights so they look more like the ''modern'' units?

Hi Martijn! Glad you like the miniatures! The idea behind why we have created the Mounted Skeleton unit is to "replace" that old unit, so at the moment these new miniatures are the "new" dark knights :)

at last, something I can support you on now no more dwarves, undead have always been my preference on your releases. These new ones are looking great

Great release, great images, great news!!! Ahhhh!!!! Any possibility if squeezing a movement tray unto this release (or maybe for a future one) just like the one for Sons of Ymir? TYVM

Thank you very much Jose!! Not sure if we will be able to bring something like that for next October but will come for sure!!

These are awesome - as all your un-dead are! What I never see anyone making, though, are skeletons, wizened dried out husks, and partially fleshed and full zombie-like corpses clawing their way up out of the ground/their graves ... Just thinking outloud ... ;)

Thank you Richard! Those are great and cool ideas, we will keep them in mind for future Transilvanya releases!
