Third September Preview: Neidhart and Steel Ancestor (Patreon)

Welcome to our third preview for September! In this update, we are excited to showcase two distinct additions coming to our lines: a character sculpt for The Bannerman and a towering war machine for The Crusader.

The Bannerman — Dramatis Personae: Neidhart

We are introducing Neidhart, the first miniature in the new Dramatis Personae series for The Bannerman. This sculpt is based on an original design by illustrator Frida Bergholtz, whose portfolio showcases exceptional work across fantasy illustration, medieval themes, and nuanced character portraits.

The miniature captures a slender human figure dressed in detailed layered clothing and a distinctive plumed cap, armed with an elegant curved sword.

The Crusader — Steel Ancestor

For The Crusader, we are revealing the Steel Ancestor, a massive armoured bipedal war machine equipped with integrated firearms and energy-wreathed close-combat weapons.

Designed with high assembly versatility in mind, the miniature features an extensive breakdown into separate parts. In particular, the way the legs are broken down lets you adjust their position and experiment with different stances, giving you more freedom to personalise the pose on the tabletop.

Community Feedback

As we continue developing larger miniatures, we would love to hear your thoughts on kit design:

Do you prefer highly versatile multi-part kits that offer more posing freedom and assembly choices?

Or do you lean toward more predefined poses that are quicker and easier to assemble?

Let us know in the comments which direction you prefer for future large models and what matters most to you during assembly!
