The Dwarves Are Coming to Warhost

Our first Dwarf miniatures for Warhost are nearly ready, and we wanted to give you a proper look at what is coming.

We are planning to launch the range through a preorder on the Warhost website, built around two main release deals. The first will be a complete 500 point Dwarven Patrol, ready to form the core of a new force. The second will be a one of everything deal containing the entire opening range.

Support for these deals will help us cover the cost of putting the full range into production. If you have been waiting to start a Dwarven warhost, the preorder will be the best way to get started and help make it happen.

The first release includes the following:

Dwarven Command Group: Chosen by merit rather than bloodline, the Guild Captain leads from the front while the musician keeps the muster in step and the banner bearer carries the guild’s oath into battle.

Houseguard with two-handed weapons: Honoured to protect their commander, these heavily armoured Houseguard use their two-handed weapons to break enemy armour at close quarters.

Houseguard with shields and hand weapons: Armed with shields and hand weapons, these Houseguard form a stubborn defensive line around any commander they stand shoulder to shoulder with.

Earth Mage and Ironclad Mageguard: The rare Earth Mages draw power from the bedrock itself, guarded by magic-bound Ironclad Mageguard created from stone and metal to keep danger away from their maker.

Warriors with hand weapons and shields: Drawn from across the guilds, these contract-bound warriors form the dependable core of a Dwarven warhost.

Warriors with spears and shields: Stoic and disciplined, the Dwarven spearmen anchor flanks, defend narrow ground and meet an enemy advance behind a wall of shields and spiky points.

Archers in light armour: Often overlooked beside the warriors of the shieldwall, these armoured archers combine powerful bows with the discipline to stand their ground when the enemy closes.

Unarmoured Archers: Lightly equipped Hunters’ Guild scouts range along mountain trails and caravan roads, using their bows to screen the warhost and trouble the enemy from a distance.

Mounted Hunters with spears and bows: Riding hardy Dwarven ponies, the Hunters’ Guild patrols mountain passes and trade roads, scouting ahead before striking with spear or bow.

Earthbound Sentinel: Standing between 10 and 12 feet tall, the Earthbound Sentinel is a towering body of enchanted stone awakened through stone and earth magic to guard the Dwarven host.

All of the miniatures have been traditionally sculpted by Paul Hicks. The Dwarves will be cast in white metal, with shields and metal pin spears included where required. The Earthbound Sentinel and the Hunters’ ponies will be cast in resin. Each pack will also include the correct bases needed to field the miniatures in games of Warhost.

This is the start of our Dwarven range, giving players a choice of solid infantry, heavily armed Houseguard, archers, mounted Hunters and earth magic. We will share the contents and prices of both preorder deals soon.
