Norsgard Miniatures

Campaign will soon end and this is a last chance to join and get our special Black Friday offer - discounted wulfkin pack. We still can reach huge orc cavalry.

Hello Norsgard Fans. You have asked for the rules and so we are going to deliver. Please find bellow a link to the Alpha version of the Norsgard Game Rules. A few things are missing, most notably the rules for spells and ranged combat. These are getting a major overhaul from earlier versions.

Feel free to share your feedback and opinions. We still have time to make changes and your opinions are important to us. This is your chance to suggest ways to improve the game.

Just like that the Dwarven Siege Master is unlocked. This fearsome fighter is now available to add to your pledge for just $12. Thank you all again for your amazing support. This game would be nothing without you. Now we move forward towards the big push. The Orc Cavalry is only 5k away and we still have just over a week to go. Who knows what more we can accomplish before this amazing campaign is over!

Alliance of the Bat Week

Alliance week continues with this special gift to our loyal Norsgard fans. If you are now, or become a backer at Champion or above and remain a backer at the close of the Kickstarter you will automatically receive this model at no charge. Note that you do not need to have an Alliance of the Bat starter to get the free Wolfkin model. Every Backer at Champion or above will get one.

Just wanted to show you all the dwarf rangers that are being included in the AotB Starter. Some of these photos have been floating around on the FB page for a while but we wanted to share them here just in case you haven't seen them. So enjoy!

Dwarf 2

Thanks to your continued support we have unlocked the third faction for the Norsgard game. We are completely thrilled to be able to bring you the Alliance of the Bat. While we are waiting on final Renders we thought you should all get a sneak peak at what is coming down the road a ways for the Alliance.

Thank you all for your amazing support!

Sorry it has taken longer than we had hoped to put this together. But at long last our first video. We hope this will give you all some insight into the way Norsgard is played.

The Mistress of the Hunt is capable of putting fear into the hearts of even the most stalwart Paladin of the Order of the Ram. A calm and deliberate warrior she seeks out only the most worthy opponents. She moves across the battlefield with utter disregard for any but her chosen prey. Even the most wild and frenzied member of the Horde will stand aside to let her claim her prize.

We have managed to get our hands on 5 of the Norsgard minis (currently on Kickstarter) and took a very close look.

The text is German, but we did take some shiny pictures as well. :-)

At last the Wolfkin Armsmaster has arrived. Thanks to all you wonderful backers we are able to create and cast the Wolfkin Armsmaster. He is now added to our list of Add-Ons f. As a special thank you here are some pictures of the Armsmaster's official studio paint job.

Scathar

Norsgard is a heroic scale (32mm) skirmish game. Two or more players take control of a small band of warriors, usually between 4 and 10. Norsgard's unique engine allows you to control all the aspects of the action. You control a warriors stances, spells, equipment, and special training. Victory requires planning, action, and sometimes luck.

Once you have mastered fighting a single battle Norsgard's campaign system comes into play. Create your band of warriors and lead them into battle. Survivors earn Experience and Levels allowing them to gain new skills and fighting prowess. Those that have fallen can recover, or return to battle scared mentally or physically. Earn coin to increase your armies numbers or unlock powerful magics.

Do not forget about Kickstarter - 3/November/2014

To survive in the mountains, one must be resourceful and capable of defending oneself and his family from bandits. Gathering food and other chores are much more troublesome than down in the flatlands. But dwarves brought up high up in the peaks are robust and able. They can march for miles through thick snow, hauling backpacks laden with goods. At night, they hold a torch in one hand and axe in the other, always ready to fend off would-be attackers. Many dared an assault on these mountain wanderers, tempted by prospects of easy gain; now their corpses line dwarven roads, guiding towards safe havens.

Wulfkin armsmasters devote their entire lives to perfecting one-on-one combat, in which many say they are undefeated. To think it their only quality would be a grave mistake, however. Following the daily dose of weapon practice, they can be found pouring over books telling of wars that raged over Isbran in the days of yore. A true Armsmaster slits a throat and conceives a war campaign with equal ease.

We are going to start Kisckstarter campaign in October. Here is small preview: orc rider. Alliance of the Bat - dwarves and wolfen army is also on the horizon.

Only the most knowledgeable of mages, ones that have never wavered before the enemy, fighting shoulder to shoulder with other templars from the front, may be intro¬duced to the inner circle of the Dark Guard. The sorcerer wishing to command brothers bearing the mark of the betrayer must possess immense presence and courage to lead them into battle. Not unlike anything connec¬ted with the Scarlet Watch, being placed in charge of its unit is not cause for celebration. As it often happens, order command assigns certain politically inconvenient mages to the Guard, sending them away to the border¬lands to fend off barbarians... In spite of this ostracism, they enjoy enough trust to be allowed access to necro¬mantic tomes, a fact which reflects in the spells they cast.

A gorgeous army of undead elves stands ready to be commanded across the ice-bound world of Isbran. Join us and help to exact revenge the Ice Elves have been planning for centuries! You can also stand against them and try to stem the tide of hellbound elves... if you’re brave enough.

Recently I came into possession of this set. I decided to make a short review of it’s contents and the minis’ quality.
This starter box contains five metal models: Warchief, Vei-Banshee and 3 Tribal Warriors. All come with round 30mm bases. The figures are about 37mm tall. The quality of the casts is good. The mould lines are visible, but easy to remove. There are many tiny parts, as you can see on the pictures:

Be sure to download the game rulebook which is now available at our site. Since its first draft, the game went through a large number of changes, which resulted in the game being a more complete experience. Finally we were also able to add the long awaited campaign mode.

The rulebook is rich with illustrations that help you immerse yourself in the setting, in which small bands of heroes face each other in furious battles. The graphic design is the child of famous and well-known artists, who I am sure you will recognize by their unique styles! Their contribution enabled us to create breath taking models which will be a delightful pleasure to paint.

Lastly, please bear in mind that as one of the very few companies that don’t rely on crowd funding, we are able to meet your demands faster and you won’t be waiting long for your orders to arrive. Templars from the Order of the Ram will move out swiftly, forcing their way through icebound paths to deliver you your goods.
As the army of elven undead approach, the world of Norsgard needs your support more than ever in its history!

Starter boxes for Norsgard the game will be ready for next week. Before adding them to the store I want to show you an orcish leader - Dark Guard. Miniature is around 45mm tall. Infinity miniature is used for size comparison.

Orc mage and commander for The Scarlet Watch. This miniature will be in starter box. Game release is planned for mid-January!

As I promised it is high time to start Norsgard previews! Late January 2014 game should already in stores! (yes, it means no crowd funding!)

First thing to show for is mighty Crimson Champion. Champs are veteran troopers in Scarlet Watch... wait... Scarlet Watch? Let's say that this is penal unit in Order of the Ram.

I game terms Crimson Champion will help commanding his fellows and he will be also very strong fighter.

We will release first Norsgard starters in September: Mork Tribe and Order of the Ram.
In Mork Tribe starter you will find:
-Gharven (hero)
-2 Vei-Banshees
-3 Tribal Warrior

April releases are already in store!

After Christmas, I was one of the lucky winners (as a runner-up) of Norsgard Miniatures' naming competition for Valdis the Witch. The prize arrived. Let's see what's inside the blister!

New releases are just around the corner - the first of the trio of Mork warriors, plus a restock of the previous releases in our on-line store! Valdis the Witch of the Undead faction will be available in next week. Besides these, the long-awaited Special and Combat cards are also going to be added to the store. What’s more we will add those cards for free for each order over 40 Euro!

In other news, army cards are making a return and will be included with every model. Unfortunately, cards for the Tribal Warrior and the Warchief will not be ready till February.

What is more, the game rules have undergone a slight change. From now on, you can field an army made up of units belonging to all the noble peoples of Isbran united under the banner of the Alliance of Ice, while all the evil forces of the lands rally together under the banner of the Alliance of Fire. For the anxious, we have posted on our forums in Rules section an excerpt from the new rulebook detailing army-building rules. The revised rulebook itself will be available from our site early February.

Take a close look on the Dark Guard. These solemn mages are keepers of the order’s secrets and will stop at nothing to prevent other nations from discovering them.

Stay tuned... It is only going to get better.
