Highlands Miniatures Roadmap 2023
Ladies and gentlement, masters and younlings... today is the day.
First of all, we wanted to celebrate the community efforts and feedback in the defining Patreon Poll we did back in February to help us decide the future of Highlands Miniatures.
We are truly happy to admit that the desires of the community were well alligned with the idea we had for the future of Highlands Miniatures.
Now, let's dive into it!
The content coming this June 2023 was announced a few days ago, so there is no surprise here. The Sons of Ymir will be back once more to complete their forces and to bring some awesome miniatures -including several truly expected heroes- to this fantasy race.
If you missed the preview, you can check it our HERE.
As we told you several weeks ago, in a never ending effort to bring you the best quality miniature possible, we intented to update the old Sunland miniatures -and also bring new miniatures- through the Patreon Goals, but *oh surprise* Patreon has removed that feature from the platform itself, so there the Patreon Goal feature won't exist anymore.
The fact that we have several miniatures already sculpted was also a decisive point to bring this intensive update this July 2023, as it will allow us to take our first real vacation -just a couple of weeks, nothing fancy- in almost three years!
So, for the following July 2023 we will see a complete re-sculpted Sunland Imperial Troops miniatures and much more!
Yes. The wait is over. Gallia will ride again in August 2023. The community has spoken and so we act.
For this very first set of miniatures we can already confirm the first cavalry set of miniatures, the Knights of Gallia, and several other miniatures to assemble a starting fantasy set for this incredible race.
And just as a reminder, Gallia was the option with more votes in the poll, almost five hundred (498) patrons chose Gallia as one of their desired fantasy races to bring back to Highlands Miniatures!
We also have a little "secret" for the people who don't want to wait till August 2023 for this fantasy race to come true... Check out the end of this post and join us in Kickstarter to get your hands on the greatest hero of all, Robert the Gallia!
In September 2023 we will continue working on Gallia to make sure we deploy a main force between these two months to print, paint and play.
More news about the specific set of miniatures will come when the time arrives!
In October -or as we usually call it here, Spooktober- we will take a break from the tight schedule to celebreate once more the undead season, a longlasting tradition here in Highlands Miniatures.
We will take a first look at the Eternal Dynasties fantasy race and will assist to the Rise of the Dunes.
Egyptian based undeads were one of Ramon's main favourites fantasy races when he was a kid and had zero to non money to purchase miniatures, so it was his dream to bring back this fantasy race in all its glory. Well, aside from the obvious, clear and economically driven reason... ehem...
In November 2023 we will see the brute force of the Orcs arrive to Highlands Miniatures to counterpart the valerous Knights of Gallia. The Orcs were the second most voted fantasy race after Gallia.
They will be paired with some mischievous Goblins along the way, to cause mayhem and distress in every medieval village.
What can you expect aftertwards?
We will continue working on Gallia and the Orcs and Goblins fantasy races at the same pace till both of them are complete, following the same approach as we have been doing since the last year with the Sons of Ymir and the Swamp Goblins.
We will measure again the feeling of the community after both fantasy races are complete to decide the direction of Highlands Miniatures afterwards!
To promote the arrival of Gallia to Highlands Miniatures we will launch a promotional Kickstarter composed of one single hero fantasy miniature, Robert the Gallia, to reach as many people as possible interested in this fantasy race.

Do you have plans to make Lizardmen? And if so, approximately when?
We do not Andrzej, not yet! :)
I cannot wait to see Sunland!
We will begin to work on them again in a few ways for the following July 2023 Release!
Can't wait for your Orcs! Your Dwarfs and Goblins are the best on the market IMHO. And that teaser for the Black Orcs have me reaching for some green paints :D Hope you'll do your version of Grimgor Ironhide and Borgot Facebeater :)
Will you do a steamtank or something similar for the sons of Ymir? As a standin for the steel behemoth of KoW? That would be nice and would complete the range there :-)
great work as always and thanks for the awesome roadmap!!!
I got ridiculously excited because I didn't read the months first (I assumed it was starting from June), so now I'm just very excited, haha. I have a few months to plan my Gallia heraldry out so I can start painting efficiently when these drop 😊
Yyyyyyyeeeesass Wood Elves!!!!! Wonderful!!! I know it will come!!!
In the meantime I’ll start a tomb king, a 2nd Brettonia, finish my Empire and increase (again) my Orcs army!!! Great plan!!!
Come for the dwarves, stay for the... well you stay for the dwarves too but the rest is a lovely addition ;)
I started with the dwarfs and have loved them so much I pick up most of the sunland now and will get the rest shortly. Yours is the best and I really do not care what army you work on as I am in it for the long haul as the models and quality of pre supports have me sold. that being said I can not wait till the orcs. they will go so nice with the swamp gobos. Oh have a great vacation enjoy life and have fun as you work hard for us.
Can't wait for those Orcs!!!!!
Really awesome! Gets me excited for the entire year. Thank you for sharing the timeline
Absolutely amazing. Every month is looking great! Glad you scheduled in a little vacation. Enjoy!
Those all look amazing ... I'm going to have to investigate more robust / flexible resins before October because a lot of those minis have some thin looking pieces!
Def do miss some of the less standard faction potentials but love what you do.
Amazing. Feel free to sneak some Feral Elves in too!!
Great work and a awesome line up, maybe throw the odd model into each month's releases of coming months ranges ?
Just perfect. Not much into Gallia, but I guess I'll find a couple models to paint just for pleasure ! The rest is just gold. So happy to see greenskins and undead pharaohs coming ! Plus Sunland just to top the cake, damn ! All the best for the vacations guys, and thanks for all these glorious minis ! Ps : in the past, I said that for me, what you create is almost perfect, but characters were kinda laking, but you definitely improved imo in that regard with the dwarves and gobbos, which is very promising for us ! 🤩
I might as well stay subscribed :D
I'm pretty excited to see your new stuff. Also congrats on having a vacation! I know that burnout is a huge thing in the small creator space, and I'd much rather you be happy and keep able to do work than get 30+ figs ever month in and out. Hopefully you are able to keep to a good work/life balance and keep doing this in a realistic way instead of constantly being stuck in the grind.
I can’t wait, roll on October and November 🧟♂️😁
Sweet.
Utterly amazing work! Just incredible and my favorite Patreon by far!
I can't wait to field some of these sweet Sunland troops for my Averland force!
I hope you have a great break! it is well deserved
I hope to see savage orcs instead of those wearing human armor. There is so much to explore on the savage orcs vs the GW boring orcs
You absolute legends
I'm so stoked. You make keeping supporting you an absolute no brainer
Great work can't wait
Awesome!
OMG so excited for this. Its going to be a merry greenskin christmas :)
Hell yeah. More boyz are always welcome
Looks awesome!
GALLIA!!! Can’t wait!!!
