November 2022 Release Third Preview: Sons of Ymir Vol. 4!
Goood evening guys! 🪓
Hope you are all having a great week. After a few days of hard work we have finally managed to finish the November 2022 Release, the Sons of Ymir Vol. 4, with this -highly expected- Dwarf Artillery Set.
The Dwarf Artillery Set is composed of three main big weapons, a Dwarf Cannon that comes with two versions: a mobile version and a deployed version; a Dwarf Organ Gun and a Dwarf Flamethrower. We have also created one more miniature than the already planed, so there are six (6) Dwarf Artillery Crew. We have also decided to create a Dwarf Barricade in order to bring a piece of terrain to the set to create a cool small diorama.
About the Dwarf Artillery Set
Creating this artillery set has been an amazing experience but also quite complicated. Why? The Sons of Ymir are based on the norse mythology and aesthetic, and there isn't almost any reference regarding the use of gunpowder within this old culture. So we have ended gathering other medieval references from other cultures but trying to apply some norse elements, in the same line we did with the Dwarf Old Siege Engines.
But the big challenge has been the Flamethrower! After our little research around the web, we finally decided to go for a "Greek Fire" classic flamethrower used by the byzantines in their ships and even by hand, using a simple siphon mechanism. In our case the air is propelled into the tank that contains the explosive mixture with the use of a blacksmith bellows. You can learn more about the Greek Fire HERE or HERE.
This reference also gave us an incredible idea for a future unit of dwarfs spitting fire through their weapons!
Remember guys, the November 2022 Release will composed of:
Six (6) Dwarf Huscarls Core Miniatures
Three (3) Dwarf Huscarls Command Group
One (1) Dwarf Lord
One (1) Dwarf Cannon
One (1) Dwarf Organ Gun
One (1) Dwarf Flamethrower
Five (6) Dwarf Artillery Crew
One (1) Dwarf Artillery Barricade

Excellent work! Love these Dwarfs can't wait to start printing them off!!!
Thanks so much Mark! They'll be ready very soon :D
Great! Some Slayer, Runelords and Dwarf Master Engineer would be nice!
OH YES! Love them all, very solid work!
Perfect
Those are really nice. A dwarf catapult or ballista would work too, if you want other non-gunpowder siege weapons. A ram's head siege ram could be really fitting for dwarves, as well.
They've already done a trebuchet and ballista!

Me alegro que te gusten Diego! :)
By Odin’s beard! ……these are freaking amazing! Love them! A personal thank you for offering a firing option! Outstanding!
Thank you very much Karsten! It has been quite challenging to create this set of miniatures because there wasn't much references about norses and gunpowder, but we are quite happy with the final result! :)
I am so excited for the dwarf army, especially the berserkers, just a question, but are you doing the Onepagerules (with golems and steam armor) or just classic Dwarves? I would absolutely love bear mounted dwarves from you.
Hi Mark! Glad you like the Sons of Ymir. Our Sons of Ymir is not being created following any specific third party game system, so there will be many different miniatures and units that can be found -or not- in different games! :)
Yes, yes yes yes YESSS!!!
Glad you like them Shane! :D
