The Bannerman: Dwarf Catapult

November WIP — Dwarf Catapult

Here’s a look at our new Dwarven Catapult, still a work in progress!

We’re putting a lot of effort into keeping it visually consistent with our bolt throwers, while giving it its own character — something that feels like it belongs to the same arsenal, but not just a copy of the previous design.

Q4 Loyalty Rewards: Dûrgrim & Aldric Virell

They’ll be the Q4 loyalty rewards—lore + minis designed for gritty, grounded battlefields where duty bites back.

OCTOBER — TWO FRONTS, ONE EXTRAORDINARY MONTH

OCTUBRE — DOS FRENTES, UN MES EXTRAORDINARIO

October brings two lines with distinct identities. In The Bannerman, we return to the forest with a dissident branch of the high lineage: the Sylvan Elves, split before the elven colonization of the surface, guardians of the Spine and its pacts with ancient spirits. In The Ad...

Tree King and Late Roman Infantry

Tree Kin: Battle Standard Bearer
Atop the hill, in a small clearing framed by ancient trees, their war banner soared aloft in the grip of a proud noble. The silver filigree glimmered like woven starlight, every delicate line a testament to victories long won. Yet space still lingered on its cloth—hungry to bear the weight of triumphs yet unborn.

General, Comitatenses in combat and a Donkey Mill

Comitatenses General

Rome may be weary of war at this point in history, but the general is not. Ready to confront any threat from beyond the Rhine, leading his finest troops, he will never cease defending the borders of the empire.

Roma puede estar cansada de la guerra en esta época, pero el general no lo está. Listo para enfrentar cualquier amenaza que proven...

Gloom Grover Sentinels

In the pale hush of dawn, as tendrils of mist clung to the earth, we stepped into the forest’s edge. At first, the twilight air dulled our senses, lulling us into uneasy calm—until the realization struck with sudden terror: the forest itself was shifting. And from that living shadow, they emerged....

Raiders’ Chest – The Loot Returns Home

Between the 8th and 11th centuries, the víkingr were not just raiders but also farmers and traders who, come spring, set sail in search of wealth and renown. Chests like this one, found in ship burials such as Oseberg, have revealed Anglo-Saxon coins, Arabic dirhams, and Byzantine jewelry — silent witnesses to a network of trade and conflict that connected distant worlds.

Gloomgrove Sentinels.

We’re currently working on the Gloomgrove Sentinels.
At the moment, we’re still deciding on some design details — for example, whether to go with the more magical, levitating hair like in the first model we showed you, or to take a different approach and make them look more elven and grounded, with long flowing hair that falls naturally instead of appearing to f...

September Chronicles: From Mercian Queens to the Shadows of Erebus

September has taken us through two very different worlds: 10th-century Anglo-Saxon England, where farmers, friars, and queens raised a wall against the Vikings, and Neverra, where the shadows of Erebus manifest in new and terrifying forms. A month that joined daily life with epic struggle, history with legend.

Humble Roads: Monk and Donkeys

We close September in the Adventurer Tier with a different kind of scene—one not of weapons and war, but of daily life. Simple images such as a friar returning with his donkey loaded with firewood, or the patient presence of pack donkeys along the roads of Anglo-Saxon England, remind us that history was written not only in battles but also in the humble rhythm of everyday survival. We would like to keep exploring more miniatures of this kin...

Stones and Thrones: Anglo-Saxon England (Part II)

In this second release of the month for the Adventurer Tier, we continue our journey through Anglo-Saxon England. To the fyrd archers and the priest we now add two new historical figures: the slingers, humble farmers defending their land with a simple weapon, and the figure of Æthelflæd, Lady of the Mercians, the warrior queen who defied the Vikings at the dawn of the 10th century.

Arrows of the Fyrd: Faith and War in Anglo-Saxon England (Part I)

This month in the Adventurer Tier we travel back to Anglo-Saxon England. In a world of warrior kings, oaths, and local levies, the fyrd was the heart of defense: farmers and free men answering the call of their lord to fight. War was not fought only with swords and shields, but also with faith and with the volleys of missiles that could decide the fate of a battlefield.

In this first half of September we present the fyrd archers and the...

The Tragic Crown and the Hidden Order


Many of you may have noticed that the landship was unavailable in recent days.

Hello everyone!

I’ve just returned from my holidays, and starting this afternoon I’ll begin replying to all pending messages. I hadn’t taken proper holidays since the Patreon began, and I really needed them — sorry for the recent disconnection.

We’re wrapping up the first year of the adventurer, and I think it’s the perfect moment to take stock together.

Looking back, the most successful months have undoubtedly been those dedicated ...

🚧 JULY: THE ROLLING FORTRESS OF VALCASTA

“Where others build castles, Valcasta makes them move.”

The High Kingdom did not simply impose its law—it redefined the art of war. Under the reforms of Thaldrien Arcadius, architect of the doctrine of steel and gunpowder, the dream of a moving bastion became reality.

Thus were born the Rolling Fortresses.

Their construction was a shared feat. Marenstadt supplied the naval-grade hulls, drawn from centuries of expertise in shipbuilding...
