Dwarf conquistadors?

That's perhaps leaning more heavily into GW Ogre design than it needs to.

Launching this month!

Do these minis scale well with ranges like the frostgrave and oath mark plastics?

Our minis range well with e.g. AoS new miniature range if that's of any help.
Frostgrave TMK are smaller scaled (28mm true) while ours are 28mm heroic (more like 32mm to the eyes).

If these guys are Fireforge Northmen/Greatsword height then I am in.

If they are as tall as the Shieldmaidens/Paladins then I am out.

In a perfect world we would create a hard plastic kit that can change scale to fit everyone's needs but unfortunately that's not how it works. Our miniatures are used in a lot of games (e.g. AoS, KoW, Frostgrave etc) and a great reason must appear in order to change an already proven and functioning business model in our opinion. Even if someone doesn't support we honestly appreciate the consideration (from everyone) all the same :-)
And since you brought up scale, here's an appropriate image for today's teaser!

I am guessing these will be shieldmaiden sized, as it wouldnt make sense to invalidate their existing range with "reinforcements"




Automatically Appended Next Post:
For what its worth, I use them in the same "armies" as I do Frostgrave/ Oathmark, Fireforge and older GW. The shield maidens pictured below use Frostgrave and Northmen bits. But yeah they are a full head taller than the Fireforge Northman. Though the Frostgrave knight compares favorably to the Northman.

I mean, sure - spend only on what you like (I didn't back the last couple SW campaigns myself), but it's also a little unreasonable to expect that Shieldwolf's new kits would be in a different scale to their old kits.

What @Azazelx says, apparently they work well enough for people to use so the range expands as is. We have been growing with your help all these years and we are greatful for this, perhaps @StygianBeach we'll manage to entice you with one of our non-human kits. Got a lot planned for, we have been working on this for over a year so you can imagine... :-D

Today's teaser!

i like valkyries, look forward to seeing the reveal on these

I'm very curious about them and honestly, don't care that much about the scale. After all, people have different heights and I mix all kinds of sizes.

Well, so far I am interested in the Araves, Arivises, Ogres, Goblins, Trolls, and Valkyries. Plus there was rumored to be new shield maidens.

I’m not sure if I will be trying for 1 box of everything or just focusing on one of the new sets with maybe an add on of something else. The Araves/Arivises right now have my attention most… but valkyries and more shield maidens do too. I could skip the goblins, trolls and Ogres… but I do like them…

Today's teaser :-)

The Shieldmaiden and Paladins are very tall and this kickstarter is for a different army, so I posed the question.

So far I have 1 box of Orcs, Shield Maidens and Sister Paladins. So I may get 1 box sometime down the line, but for a kickstarter I would prefer something shorter.

Today's teaser :-)

Non forest gobbos? Sounds interesting and gives me a hope for non savage orcs in the future too

Oh this is going to get expensive the more Goblins the better. Hopefully the heads are ball and socket rather than the flat panel of the forest goblins

From Shieldwolf Miniatures posts on the Ninth Age forums - I could see these being used in Slaanesh armies as well.

Here’s the Drotts from before

You beat us to it

We should be launching on Wednesday, tomorrow we will know for sure with the last teaser.

Launcing tomorrow. We appreciate the consideration!

Looking forward to this. Can’t wait to see how this will be structured with so many different and unrelated kits.

LIVE now

Just a raiding party for now and wait and see what gets added later really hoping for the trolls

Backed for a pair of boxes of the desert ladies.

Im in for a a Garrison army for the Arivises... But i want to add some Valkyries and some other stuff too. I am not too fond of the transparent resin that was shown in the scifi kickstarter. Are the camel riders and heroes in that transparent resin? Or are they the gray resin that the cavalry and heroes were in during the shield maiden kickstarter?

Edit: Shield wolf responded. "The transparent resin was the Wolfcast, which will not be used ever again in our KS projects. So yes, everything will be hand-cast in the "white-chocolate" resin like the one you mention like the camel riders, Ogres etc."

This makes me happy.

I'm holding off until I've seen the Valkyries because they're the most interesting bit to me.

I am gonna get some valkyries too. But the Aravises/ Slaaneshi mortals are my first choice. Interested in the Drots too.
