June 2022 Fourth Preview: Wraiths and Free Miniature for patrons!
🕑 Added 2022-06-05 16:57:22 +0000 UTCGood evening afternoon guys, ⚔️
Hope you are having a great weekend. Today we wanted to show you the six (6) Wraith miniatures and the Free Exclusive Miniature for patrons, the Spectral Commander! 💀
So.. talking about the six miniatures for the Wraith unit, you guys know that we are huuuge fans of Lord of the Rings and Tolkien's work. But not only of the story, the entire artwork behind the movies, the concept art and illustrations for the books and many other artwork are a big source of inspiration for our work.
The two sketchbooks from Alan Lee and the one from John Howe contain an incredible amount of references and illustrations used for the visual world of Lord of the Rings -and the Hobbit- like this illustration or this one that we've used as references for our Wraith miniatures.
They have also some remembrance to another set of old miniatures for the LOTR miniature game, can you identify them? 👀
Finally, we have gathered some time to create one more miniature, a free miniature only available for patrons, the Spectral Commander, which of course you will be able to identify very soon the reference from where it comes! 💍
We are working now on the last miniature, the Lord Necromancer on Flying Monster, that we hope to have ready by tomorrow!
Remember, the June 2022 Release, the Spectres of Transilvanya, is composed of:
- 6x Crypt Ghosts Unit: low level spectres with rusty one handed weapons
- 6x Wraith Unit: armoured spectres with two handed weapons
- 6x Spectral Cavalry Unit: undead spectres on horses with two handed weapons
- 9x Second Anniversary Skeleton Warriors Unit: basic skeletons warriors without armour, with spears and shields.
- 1x Ezekiel, the Lord Necromancer in Flying Monster

Yes! We are what we are and we do what we do because of LOTR. It was our first approach -and the best one- to a fantasy world when we were young and we still LOVE everything about LOTR and Tolkien's works.

All these miniatures look amazing! To be honest, I did not know that Tolkien's works are a source of inspiration for you, I'm glad!
