RAGNAROK – White Metal 28mm Norse Fantasy Miniatures
Evil Dvergr Dwarves by Dark Age Legend, Colin Patten sculptor for Gripping Beast and Warlord Games
Dvergr: Evil brethren of the ‘true‘ dwarves. Cruel and cunning, long had they harboured their envy and hatred of mankind, especially those who dwelt in the fabled halls of Valhalla. Only the patronage of the Gods of the Vanir and Aesir had held them back from sweeping down from their mountain vastness of Nidavellir to destroy them. Dvergr are the largest of the dwarven races and comprise many clans, each with their distinctive characteristics. Their hair and beards, never brown, are either white or black. Another distinctive feature of the Dvergr is that although they still have pride in their beards most favour shaving their heads.
Like many creatures of the dark, Dvergr, being closer by nature to Goblins rather than true dwarves, dress in black. Their helms, chain hauberks and their trews and tunics being always of that dark hue. Dvergr are well trained in the arts of war, which they continually practice amongst themselves until a greater enemy unites them to common purpose. They fight in close ranks of armoured infantry, favouring the long pike and polearm as their primary weapon. They are keen of sight and their archers are second only to the bows of the elves (note Dvergr are often referred to amongst men as black elves).
In combat, always at the front and first into battle, bellowing frightful oaths charge the warriors of the dreadful berserk brotherhoods. These brotherhoods fight either naked or draped in the furs of their favoured beast, whether bear, boar or wolf. Only the largest and most fearsome are admitted to their fell ranks!!
This range is based on the Norse Mythos incorporating elements of Wagners Ring Cycle. It will continue to be developed and include Dokalfar (dark elves) Draugr undead forces, Ice and Fire Jotnar (Giants), The armies of the Einherjar (Valhalla’s Heroic Warriors) and of course the essential monsters, and the Gods of the Vanir and the Aesir. Exciting times ahead!

Gefällt mir sehr, besonders die Ulfhednar und die Death Heads.
Finde die super und gerade auch die Draugr sehr vielversprechend.
Von Patten gibt es auch noch eine passende Serie nicht-dunkler Zwerge bei Conquest Games. 🙂
Äh korrigiere, Conqueror Models.
Sagt mal, habt ihr euch echt die Mühe gemacht das Gehänge der Berserker zu schwärzen? Auf anderen Seiten war es ohne NSFW usw. zu sehen. 🙂
Bei Kickstarter steht der Hersteller hätte das geschwärzt, damit Kickstarter es nicht sperrt.
Erinnern stark an die alten Vendel Miniatures Zwerge mit leichten Ergänzungen.
Die Darth Vader Helme find ich allerdings eher unpassend.
