Sword & Board Games Dwarf Highguard Previewed!
October 1, 2014 by brennon
Another quite cool story for you to delve into as the world of Twelve Elements of War from Sword & Board Game develops even more. See what you think of the Dwarf Highguard 'Survivor' Runecaster...
We all love a story of heroics and this elite unit are certainly one of the coolest. It's formed of the survivors of a mighty battle who refused to give up in the face of massive enemy forces. 273 warriors were spared by the enemy for their bravery and the elite force soon became one of renown. Now it's a grueling task to join their ranks and its number will never go past 273 in honour of those that survived.
It's awesome to hear some of the background to the miniatures in their game world and the Runecaster is quite the cool piece.
What do you think?

That does look really good.
great looking sculpt again 🙂
I really like how this range is developing it’s own “look” 🙂
Love the pose
It could so easily turned out like some one at a cosplay karaoke belting out “My Way” after a couple too many but it really work imho.
Not keen on the Roman style armour, but that isn’t a criticism just …well…
Bloody Romans etc! lol
Really amazing figure. 😀 But the name seems misleading. I read “Dwarf Highguard ‘survivor’ Runecaster” and was expecting a Dwarf (short, stocky, hairy etc), not a Human Female. xD haha Still, lovely model though 🙂
That seems typical for S&B who haven’t gone in for standard depictions of races.
How successful that will be remains to be seen, but kudos for trying to be original with fantasy themes.
Aaah right, I see. No wonder I got confused. xD
Indeed, fair play to them for doing something different. 🙂
agreed, always nice to see people trying something a bit different 😉
What makes her a dwarf? Are there any comparison shots available? I tried their website, but there was only one actual physical miniature there. I for one am tired of computer screenshots, give me a real mini painted by a real human.
I don’t mind re-imaging orcs or elfs or trolls, quite the contrary, but “dwarf” and “halfling” are generally references to size and the giant dwarf joke gets old real fast.
(Admittedly the manga Grey had a different take on halflings that actually made sense.)
Not sure how much this helps but you can see different sizes with what I assume to be a Dwarf at the back.
