The Legion Rallies: Army Standard Bearer Released (Patreon)

August's second release has arrived.

The Evil Dwarf Army Standard Bearer is now available to all Forge Masters, bringing a new heroic command model and a selection of imposing standards for your legions to march beneath.

Designed to stand proudly amongst the ranks, the Standard Bearer is a little more deliberately posed than most of the range to capture that heroic feel, while still retaining compatibility with the wider Evil Dwarf ecosystem.

Use your discount code to get it from Cults3d.

Army Standard Bearer Kit

The kit includes:

Standard Bearer

1 x Upper Body

1 x Lower Body

1 x Left Arm

1 x Hand Weapon

1 x Shoulder Armour

2 x Heads

Banners

1 x Ashen Banner

1 x Flayed Skin Banner

1 x Enforcer Banner

1 x Lamassu Head Banner

1 x Bull Banner

The banner system is also compatible with existing banner components across the range, so there's plenty of opportunity to mix things up and create the standard that best represents your own legion.

Supported and unsupported files are included.

This will be a very interesting Design Diary coming up!

August – Veterans of the Legion

Of course, the Army Standard Bearer isn't marching alone.

Also released this month is the new Evil Dwarf Elite Infantry Kit.

It's a massive standalone kit containing 70 modular components, including:

Heavily armoured bodies

10 heads

10 shoulder armour options

Heavy shields

Dark-forged hand weapons

Dark-forged great weapons

Halberds

Standard Bearer and Drummer command options

Optional chainmail cloaks

Together, these two releases were designed around the Veterans of the Legion theme from The Forge Ahead: heavily armoured elite warriors accompanied by the great standards of their legion.

And, importantly, they're not isolated kits. Components remain compatible with the growing Evil Dwarf range, so August adds another sizeable collection of parts to the ever-growing bag of Evil Dwarf Lego.

The Forge Keeps Growing

Thank you again for all the suggestions and feedback leading into these releases. Some of the ideas discussed in the comments, particularly around what makes an elite warrior visually stand apart, have absolutely fed into the design process.

I can't promise every suggestion will become a model, but they're all read and considered. Some influence what I'm working on now, while others quietly find their way onto the scratch pad for another kit or perhaps a future Furnace Cult.

August's legion is now assembled.

Next stop on The Forge Ahead... September gets considerably darker and magical.
