Spooktober 3rd preview: Ghouls Unit!
Good evening guys,
Hope you are all doing great. Today we wanted to show you this third undead unit coming this October 2022 Release to Highlands Miniatures: the Ghouls Unit! 馃拃馃巸
About the Ghouls
The Ghouls Unit is composed of seven (7) ghoul miniatures. These miniatures aren't modular.
Designing the ghouls has been quite a challange due to the lack of elements like armours, clothes or weapons that other units usually have, and there are also many adaptations and visions of the ghouls in the fantasy literature to follow.
In our case, we have tried to represent the madness of eating human flesh in the same way as The Lord of the Rings movies represented the power of the ring and how Gollum was consumed by it. So here you can see nothing fancy, just the corruption of average townsfolk after fallen to the temptation of the human flesh.
We've tried our best with this characteristic unit and we are very proud of the final result!
Remember, 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
Also, our new fantasy Dwarf Army, the Sons of Ymir 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 next Monday, so stay tuned!

What base size does these and the skeletons fit on? 20x20?
yes :)
how many undead is too many undead... asking for a friend :) looks like my local games club will get a donation of my already printed ghouls when this lot arrives... ... time to move things up a notch... this was exactly the pose and style I was after and had bemoaned the fact that you didn't have any. I have a big Dragon Rampant game on 15th October, might they be attached to my other units by then???
For your sons of ymir, may I suggest iron breakers with tower shields option?
Most excellent - as all of your undead are. Maintaining that high standard!
I was wondering when you'd finally throw us a bone.
2 spoopy 4 me Great work
Glad you like them Josh!! :)
Before Oktoberfest... :-)
Pues mejores ghouls que los originales la verdad, tal c贸mo los habia imaginado siempre! Ansioso estoy por imprimir 50
Muchas gracias Manel!! La verdad es que estamos contentos con el resultado. :)
The final result is great! They remind me very much of the description and artwork for ghouls in my favorite old undead book, which also said they were the corrupted descendents of crazed humans. Great interpretation, thank you!
Thank you very much for your comment, glad you like them!! :)
Hoping one day you get around to Egyptian undead 馃檹馃檹馃檹
It is already in our plans for the future, so they will come for sure!
MY PRECIOUS LOL
They look great!
Glad you like them Joseph! :)
Spooky!
Glad you like them Alex!
These ghouls looks great ! You really managed to catch the 'degenerated humans' spirit 馃拃
Thank you very much Alexandre! It was a challenge but we finally ended with something interesting! :)
They look great, and the only thing I would add is the request for females to make the appearance of a full tribe.
Thank you! We weren't confident enough to create a female ghoul so we decided to not add it to the final unit. Maybe in the future!
