November 2023 Releases

In November the Dwarf Demonsmith army will be further expanded with the addition of terrifying greenskin allies, more devastating artillery, and a mighty lord.

As you can see, the heavy orc infantry are seriously bulky - I could only just cram 5 onto a standard strip, and during test printing it became apparent that a new 40 x 20 mm base was needed with a slightly larger separation between the 2 recesses, so this will also be included (it's also already in the updated patron welcome pac...

Heavy Orcs coming in November

In November the Dwarf Demonsmith army will be joined by somewhat dubious allies in the form of the heavy orc infantry.

These greenskins are seriously bulky (the hobgoblin is for scale) - you'll definitely only get 5 of these to a strip!

As always there will be a choice of command options and I continue my never ending war against supports - many of the orcs are support free and you will only need to clip off a small number of supports per strip.

Of course there is plenty mor...

October 2023 Releases

After a brief pause to marshal their strength, the Dwarf Demonsmiths return to the battlefield in October with weapons that bring death from afar.

The blunderbuss regiment are rightly feared by their enemies, as the secrets of black powder enable the dwarfs armed with these weapons to shred the heaviest armor before opponents can get close. There is a choice of command stands and the option of a standard or a banner (which can be printed blank or with sculpted detail). Of course, based ...

Demonsmith Mortar and Roadmap

Hi everyone,

Thanks for bearing with me while I took a little break from sculpting, and particular thanks to those of you that left nice comments on the previous post. Rest assured I'm back to it now and there will be a release in October as usual!

It's high time that the Demonsmiths got their first piece of artillery, so alongside the previously teased regiment of blunderbusses, the dreaded mortar will shortly be making an appearance. The shells fired by this infernal construct a...

No September Release

Hi everyone,

Just a short update to say that I'm very sorry but there won't be a September release. Creating three units for August was a lot of work and I need to take a little break!

Those of you that have been with me a while know how this works: I've paused billing so you won't be charged anything at the start of September. Anyone new signing up or anyone that upgrades their tier will still get charged at the point that they do this.

The August links and...

August 2023 Releases

In August the Dwarf Demonsmiths are joined by their devious hobgoblin allies, with one unit on foot, one riding wolves, and a hero.

Both units of hobgoblins are armed with a variety of hand weapons and many of them carry bows, so they add some ranged threat to the Demonsmiths in addition to bolstering the melee strength of the army. There is a choice of command strips and of course all of the options will also be provided as supported individuals!

Leading the hobgoblins is a rathe...

Hobgoblins coming in August

Two units of Hobgoblins are coming to the Dwarf Demonsmith army in August. Here you can see a few of the individuals on foot, but there will of course be a full unit with command options. The hobgoblins are armed with a variety of hand weapons and many of them carry bows.

As well as the infantry regiment there will also be a unit of hobgoblins riding wolves. More on these next week!

July 2023 Releases

July marks the first release for the new Dwarf Demonsmiths army!

As you know, the plan with this army is to offer a choice of heads where appropriate to try and keep both sides of the big hat divide happy, and you can see these options across this month's releases.

In addition to their hats, the Demonsmith warriors are equipped with a variety of axe and shield designs. As always there is a choice of command strips and for the strip with the banner there will be a couple of sculpte...

Dwarf Demonsmith warriors

As you know, July will see the start of the brand new Dwarf Demonsmith army, and here you can see a couple of renders of the first unit to be completed - the warrior infantry.

As I mentioned last month, my plan with this army is to offer a choice of heads where appropriate to try and keep both big hat lovers and big hat haters happy, so here you can see how these options will look.

In addition to their headwear, the warriors are equipped with a variety of axe and shield designs. A...

June 2023 Releases

June sees the completion of the Dwarf army as the main focus of releases, although there will be further additions coming along soon, as mentioned in last week's post.

This month's unit is a regiment of rangers armed with crossbows and great weapons. As always the unit will be offered as fully supported strips and individuals, and there will be a choice of command stands and standards. Ranging out above ground is clearly thirsty work, and one of the command options will allow you to bri...

Plans for coming months

Hi everyone,

As you know, the June release (which will be shown in full in the next few days) completes the units needed for the Dwarf WMR army list, so it seems like a good time to let you know what you can expect to see after that.

Following some ridiculously close polls, the next army at the glade denizen ($5) tier will be the Dwarf Demonsmiths. In July, I intend to release the warrior infantry plus some other things for this army. I know that there are passionate supporters on...

Dwarf Crossbows coming in June

In June, the Dwarf army is joined by a regiment of rangers armed with crossbows and great weapons.

As always the unit will be offered as fully supported strips and individuals, and there will be a choice of command stands and standards.

Ranging out above ground is clearly thirsty work, and one of the command options will allow you to bring potent dwarven ale to the battlefield.

Of course, there is plenty more to come next month, and I will share the full details in a week or...

May 2023 Releases

In May the Dwarf army is bolstered by the addition of the fearless berserkers and fearsome fire throwers, and another pair of heroes.

The berserkers stride into battle wielding their mighty axes and an array of dubious hairstyles. As usual there is a choice of command stands and fully supported individual berserkers will be provided alongside the strips. As always I've done my best to minimize supports and many of the miniatures in the unit are support free.

Leading these troops i...

Dwarf Berserkers in May

In May the Dwarf army will be joined by the fearless berserkers, and you can see a few of the miniatures that will make up this unit here. They're equipped with axes and... not much else.

Of course there will be fully supported strips in addition to the individuals, and a couple of command options. As always I've done my best to minimize supports and many of the miniatures in the unit are support free.

There's plenty more coming for the Dwarfs in May, and for Glade Nobles and Merc...

What army would you like to see next? (Part 2)

Thank you to everyone that voted in round 1. As always seems to be the way, the results were very close between the favorites!

It's now time to make the final selection for the next army in a head-to-head poll between the 2 most popular choices: Ratmen and Dwarf demonsmiths.

Orcs and Goblins were not far behind these armies in third place. If this is your preferred option then I recommend that you vote for the Dwarf demonsmiths, since this list includes some greenskins an...

What army would you like to see next? (Part 1)

With the Dwarf army expected to be complete in June, it is already time to consider what will come next. Please read everything before voting!

In this poll you can vote for your preference from almost all of the remaining armies (I've omitted a few that it didn't make sense to do at this stage).

You can vote for multiple options or just one, it's up to you. It should be possible to change your vote up until the poll closes if you have second thoughts.

This poll is no...
