September: Ducal Guard of Avernia

Here is the first thematic month. We didn't manage to finish the chivalry master, but overall we are very satisfied with the achievements.

Especially the griffin, the third one we sculpted, and I think we managed not to make it look too much like the previous ones, and the command group diorama, another of those pieces that mark our particular style.


This month we are going to work on the Fallen County, taking up the Darklance Vampire clan.

You will have a foot and undead griffin version of Baroness Arassne Darklance. And the mounted version on horseback and on the same Griffin of his "Castellan".

We know that undead griffins do not exist but we find it a very interesting alternative to the mounts of a mortarch or the Terrirgheist.

There will be a Black Coach, halfway between this and the Coven Throne. It is perhaps the most challenging piece this month.

And finally a cavalry unit, following the line started with the infantry from our undead Kickstarter a few years ago.


At the end of this month we will also start the polls to decide on the next three-race pack we will work on. With them decided, we will see the concrete content in the course of October.


I hope you like the new mechanics :)

A big hug to all of you and thanks for being here.

Aquí está el primer mes temático. No conseguimos terminar el maestro de caballería, pero en general estamos muy satisfechos con los logros.

Especialmente el grifo, el tercero que esculpimos, y creo que hemos conseguido que no se parezca demasiado a los anteriores, y el diorama del grupo de mando, otra de esas piezas que marcan nuestro particular estilo.


Este mes vamos a trabajar en el Condado de los Caídos, retomando el clan de Vampiros de Darklance.

Tendrás una versión a pie y con grifo no muerto de la Baronesa Arassne Darklance. Y la versión montada a caballo y en el mismo Grifo, de su Castellano.

Sabemos que los grifos no muertos no existen pero nos parece una alternativa muy interesante a las monturas de un Mortarch o del Terrorgheist.

Habrá un Carruaje Negro, a medio camino entre éste y el Trono del Aquelarre. Es quizás la pieza más desafiante de este mes.

Y por último una unidad de caballería, siguiendo la línea iniciada con la infantería de nuestro Kickstarter de muertos vivientes de hace unos años.


A finales de este mes también empezaremos las encuestas para decidir el próximo pack de tres razas en el que trabajaremos. Con ellas decididas,  a lo largo de octubre, veremos el contenido concreto.

Espero que os guste la nueva mecánica :)


Un abrazo a todos y gracias por estar aquí.

Hi, I am little bit lost, where is it possible to find the September release, I didn't receive any link (or I didn't find it).

Last Sword Miniatures · October 11, 2022

Links are removed on the last day of the month. I have just delivered all those that have been privately requested. If you are missing them, write me and I will send them to you in the next revision I do.

Hi fantastic release ! The feet of some of the Ducal Guard on foot are missing their toes.

L
Last Sword Miniatures · September 24, 2022

No Lionel. There are different types of boots, some longer and some shorter like in reality. And although it is more work, we wanted to represent it also in the miniatures.

Above and beyond. These things are AMAZING. Wonderful job, everyone!

I need to print this models to be in the same scale of old gw empire series to stay coerent with the rest of the army. Does anyone tried to scale down and print? I'm quite worried about the resistance of the really thin parts like swords blade and similar. Any suggestions on how to approach this problem to achieve objective?

L
Last Sword Miniatures · September 19, 2022

Gw does not follow any scale. The sixth edition box has 28mm, 32mm and 34mm miniatures. The infantry has one scale, the command group another and the general is huge. The plastic cavalry is 32-34 with horses designed for 28mm. The seventh edition general miniature is 36mm. And all this without going into the actual miniatures or the forge range. They are probably the brand with the worst scale management in the miniature world. Intentionally to make their own miniatures obsolete. Our human miniature is 30-32. There is more difference in proportion than in scale. I personally have an army of over 40k points painted from the empire, so I wouldn't touch the scale.

totally unrelated: can I find a presupported, best case scenario hollowed out version, boiler for the steamtank?

Last Sword Miniatures · September 17, 2022

I like the new format! Do you know roughly how often you will revisit a race, every third month or something like this?

House Hendoe · September 6, 2022

I came here for the Amazons and Elves. Which now has led to getting perfect proxies for a 100 year Post ASOIAF Lannister concept I've been kicking around! Great job!

World Of Timnath · September 3, 2022

Since the monthly release happens on/around 16th, does that mean the previous month's release is available until the 15th of the following month?

D
Deturnation · September 3, 2022

No. Only until the last of the previous month. Or if you had been subscribed back then, you can ask them via pm.

Ted Robertson · September 3, 2022

I'm confused, what do we get for our monthly membership? The Treasure Chest is suposed to get 8-30 miniatures, but I never saw any links for August.

D
Deturnation · September 3, 2022

August was paused, but you should have been able to download July (within the August-days only), if you joined in August and paid, I think.

Eduardo Nuñez · September 1, 2022

Espectacular todo el trabajo, creo que esta modalidad temática es mucho más conveniente para aquellos que están imprimiendo y armando un ejército especifico ¿Algún plan para caballería de los elfos de Nomen-Betu? PD= me gusta la idea de alternativa para montura de mortarca o terrorgheist, así como amé su versión del skycutter.

Last Sword Miniatures · September 1, 2022

Seeing them all together like that is awesome , really like this new format ! can i suggest something i would love added is maybe a casualty figure or two !? .... i know it seems weird but when guys die i like to represent them with a casualty figure ! :)

L
Last Sword Miniatures · September 1, 2022

We will see if it is possible with the elves. I don't know if it makes much sense in the undead.

Michael Link · September 1, 2022

These look absolutely AMAZING. Seriously. I'm surprised an entire line could be done in a month. Take care of yourselves... Moving forward, pushing yourselves like this every month is crazy!

Increíble trabajo. Un abrazo a vosotros. Aquí estamos y aquí estaremos, seguid así!

Guy Grundell · September 1, 2022

Looking awesome as usual, don't suppose we can get a helmeted version of the Griffin rider too can we please? 😃

D
Deturnation · September 1, 2022

While I also would love "another" helmet-pose (You never can get enough), I think you can just use the head from the horse-version, as they are usually almost all modular. If not, it would be indeed a "shame".

Hung Duong · September 1, 2022

What about the Kinghts Panther Grandmaster we get him later?

L
Last Sword Miniatures · September 1, 2022

This month the Freak Wars condition everything. So it's very difficult to tackle it now. It's a miniature I want to make personally, so I'll look for a space to put it in later.

Vas · September 1, 2022

These are all absolutely fantastic. Well done, guys. Looking forward to October already! When are you doing your next kickstarter?

Last Sword Miniatures · September 1, 2022
