September 2023 Preview: Gallia Reinforcements!
Good afternoon fellow Gallians,
Today we can finally show you the complete preview of this September 2023 Release in Highlands Miniatures: a new massive set of Gallia miniatures!
For this September 2023 Release I have had the pleasure to sculpt one miniature I consider one of the best miniatures I've ever sculpted for Highlands Miniatures: the Baroness of Gallia.
For the Baroness of Gallia we have been truly inspired by the aesthetic of the 1999 film named "The Messenger", the story of Joan of Arc, directed by Luc Besson and protagonized by Milla Jovovich. As you will see, the main armour design comes directly from this female representation of Joan of Arc.
You can also find a reminiscence of the poses in both mounted and dismounted miniatures from the classic Joan of Arc sculptures you can find in the Place des Pyramides in Paris or in Loiret (France). We decided to bring the Baroness of Gallia with two alternative sculpts as she truly deserves it.
You can also find a new set of female Gallia heads that you can use for any of the Knigths of Gallia, Royal Knights of Gallia, Pegasus Knights and Knights of Gallia on foot. These new heads, combined with the already available modular cavalry closed helmets from all the already available Knights of Gallia, can help you deploy a powerful female force into the game!
It also really helps to bring more diversity and variation to the miniatures and we expect to do the same to bring more ethnicities in the future.
Finally, for the Royal Knights of Gallia we have followed the same approach as the already available Knights of Gallia. It has been hard to differenciate these units as they are essentially the same -medieval knights on horse from the same period of time and place- so I have tried to represent the "royalness" of these Knights through the use of clothes and more plate armour rather than the visible chain mail you can see in more parts of the bodies in the previous Knights of Gallia.
As I've been telling you from the latest post, these summer releases has been a challenge. There is a lot of work behind the miniatures, not only from the main sculpting process but from the overall design, as we are always looking to add a meaning and a story to them.
Hope you like them guys!

Awesome!
I'm so excited to print these. They are amazing. You guys always have the best stuff :)

What a great release. Hail Highlands Miniatures!
Love them, really helpful in getting the feeling I want in my "feudal" army. Will the movement trays return?
Glad you like them Antonio! We would love to bring back the Movement Trays, just need to find the time to sculpt them!
really awesome sculpts Ramon!
Thank you very much Patrick, glad you like them!
Beautiful stuff, I'm excited for the release.
Highland Minnies has made me one of the happiest lads in all the Kingdom!
This is great stuff. I'm a dungeon master for a Warhammer Roleplay group and one of the player characters is a (secret) female Bretonnian knight. I had used one of the Empire militia female headswaps before but these look much more fitting.
Just finished printing last month great figures. Now I need to find fitting decals or I will go mad, trying to paint these :) Well done again!

Amazing! I love the female heads ❤️
Thank you very much Ross!
Wonderful stuff. I really like the way you proportion these miniatures. Great for painting and look great on the gaming table.
Thank you so much! We always follow our 3P rule: printable, paintable and playable!
Absolutely amazing! I can't wait!
Glad you like them Robert!
Absolutely overjoyed with these, really loved that movie and oh boy do both the foot and mounted versions look amazing (love the horse). Also really like the extra female heads as well.
Thank you very much Liam! We love to work on powerful feame miniatures! ❤️
Incredible as usual! Especially love the Baroness - you capture the feel you were looking for with amazing animation and depth but not over the top (IMO) like sometimes happens ;)
happens with other lines that is.
By the Lady, these are amazing! Is there perchance a great helm with just a torse/wreath so I can make potentially infinite "frankenhelmets" by chopping up other models (eg the awesome hound you made a while back) and sticking the bits on top? 😊
Glad you like them Will! Regarding your question, there will be plain helmets for the Young Knights when they arrive to Highlands Miniatures in the near future! :)
What about some bare heads to use the regular knights as an errant unit?
Come on Anthony! We still have to create many more Gallia set of miniatures, leave us a few heads for the future! haha
Incredible! I especially love the mounted hero pose. Excellent work with the Pegasus knights. They look like they are touching down mid charge!
Thank you very much Joshua! We definitely love our Baroness of Gallia. It is always great to find the time to sculpt powerful female miniatures!
