[Archive] DwarfTales is doing Evil Dwarfs - Volgars

clam:

Don’t know if this is old news to some, but I was looking at Dwarftales.com’s new website for their WarCanto Game (fantasy based skirmish wargame set in the world of Duæl).

Dwarf Tales are know for some rather detailed dwarfs slightly bigger than GW miniatures - but still on 20mm bases.

Right now, they do 3 races:  Lidds (Kind of beastmen), Dwarfs and Org’kka (kind of Orcs) - but it seems they are planing to do a few more: Humans, Elves and some evil dwafs called ‘Volgars’. Dwarfs that seems to be possessed by a daemonic Lord call Demedorr.

They haven’t posted much about concept yet, but I’ve found this:



and a bit more here:

Looks promissing, I think - now only time can tell if these are brought to life.

Thommy H:

I could see that making a rather nice Daemonsmith or Daemonic engine crewman. Also, looking at their website, some of their existing Dwarf figures would already make pretty sexy Immortals or Heroes.

Grimstonefire:

Nice models, not quite my taste, but at around £6 per model definately not for me as a whole unit. I’ll have to see how the scale works out for a single hero.

black hammer:

i like that guys funky helmet.

Zanko:

Quite cool dwarfs! :hat off

Like especially the Hero! He might fit well in my army … must think it over! :wink:

I never heard of this company before! :o

Thanx for posting clam! :cheers

:hashut

warh:

that reminds me of midna

wallacer:

Quite nice. I’d be willing to buy some.

clam:

Just a small message :wink: I had a chat with Rafal from DwarfTales. He told me, that the next race will be humans (rather promising, too - look http://www.dwarftales.com/res/Nr9XN6HoTh/hussar01.jpg :wink: ), but after that they will do the Volgar’s

Hmmmm. Kislev anyone?

Scion:

That human is an awesome looking mini! When are they releasing them?

clam:

Concept for the first Volgar Dwarf is up in the DwarfTales forum - first greens will be up soon :smiley:



About his ‘static pose’ Kubasa wrote at the DwarfTales forum:

… - it’s pose may seem quite static, but it is intentional, as this is the �?oprologue�?� to the new race and I wanted all details to be extremely visible  Anyway �?" it�?Ts the dwarf, wicked and mutated but still the dwarf �?" so he mustn�?Tt wave his limbs all around as some tumbler or clown

Kubasa
I like this concept - this could be some quite interesting alternatives.

black hammer:

I like the rocky lava back, but it seems a little to overboard for a regular dwarf. It seems to magical or demonic.

nitroglysarine:

seems more like a special than a regular rank and file.

might make a nice demonsmith with a bit of modding?

Hazkar:

nice artwork,cant wait to see the minis

definately hero material

clam:

With a price of something like �,�7 each model - and a limited number of models available - definitely hero/special character potential - or a elite unit - and my guess is, that they will rank like s*** on 20mm bases :wink:

Border Reiver:

The humans are what interest me here - I’d really like to get my Kislev army going and the GW Boyar on foot was ugly.

Quite big (my guess, it’s a 30mm base) - but I’m in love :smiley:

EDIT: Guess not. 25-26mm to the top of his head. That okay for a dwarf. Must have had to many 3rd’s/Marauders in my hands, to know the ‘real’ size of a dwarf.

Sjoerdo:

I dont know…

It’s a very good sculpt, great skill, but I don’t like the upright pose and the long arms… also the face is a bit too weird form my liking…

The crystal backside is very cool though!

Hazkar:

at the artwork the mask looks really cool,but now…with the open mouth…it looks a little bit weird

and the weapon looks like made for lizard men in my eyes

but nice sculpting,the back is awesome

cornixt:

I don’t like the goggles, and the legs are odd. It looks like he has no thighs, let alone knees. Combined with the arms, this means he looks a bit like a fat human doing that thing where you tie shoes to your knees and walk around like a funny dwarf. Apart from those it looks really good.
