The Immortal Edition


Your evil dwarfs stand ready. Whether they are already marching across your battlefields or just lined up at your painting table, they are at your beck and call in their wide variety of fashionable and completely practical hats. 

But what evil dwarf would risk his own skin when others' will do?

Fabelzel knew this as well as any other wicked stunty and he made sure his big hats would never have to strike out on their own, providing a wide range of Eastern Goblins to take the brunt of any foe. 

Once more PrincipeNero set himself to expanding this range, and once more we are bringing these to you in cold, hard metal.


But wait, these pictures are resin - aren't the models in metal?

Many of the photos here are prints of the 3d sculpts done by Fabelzel and Nero and will all be mastered, molded, and cast in our lead-free white metal. This round of crowdfunding will let us do that! The pictures here are simply to give you a sense of what the models look like in the flesh, not simply in concept as a render. Only the shields provided with their relevant models will be fulfilled in resin.

Note that some sculpts may be edited in order to make casting possible.

The Models

Characters

First we have the legendary Khans. Whether on foot or mounted on a wolf, they'll keep the rest of your worthless lot in line.

The Standard Khan pictured above is already mastered, pictured in glorious metal, while the Mountain Khan from the especially wicked tribes wields his twin daggers.

The mounted Khan below wields a great spear and comes with a shield and - are those two different wolves? Read the Poll section further down for more on that!

Foot Officers

No leader can possibly manage all his troops alone, especially ones as unruly as these! Officers help maintain some semblance of order even if the Khan is far away. 

Note: Only the Champion model will differ between Foot Officer Sections and the Standard Bearer is currently being reworked)

Infantry


The real backbone of your force. Your Evil Dwarfs will be happy to let these troops lead the way, so long as they're always in sight! We will have 6 unique sculpts of each available with each weapon choice and are sold in sets of 10 - just like the dwarfs!


Wolf Riders


Spear Sculpts are not yet finalized - read below!

A true set of standouts, we're bringing every option to the table here. Bows, axes, and the ever illusive spears, we have it all.

"Ohh the goblins are great," you say, "but I'm sure the wolves will be resin."

Nope.

These wolves are just as metal as their riders. Never again will you have to worry about snapped ankles or top-heavy tips. Drop them, throw them, (but please don't eat them), they are in your army for the long haul.

We will have a total of 5 unique rider sculpts for each weapon option and 4 total unique wolves.

"Hold on," you interrupt rudely. "I prefer my Spear Equipped Wolf Riding Eastern Goblins to have pointier hats!"

You people and your hats... well, come back next week for a special poll and make your voice heard! We'll have another option available and want to know what you want!

Note: There will only be two Officer Section options available for wolves - axes and spears.


We haven't forgotten the shields!

Resin shields will be included with all axe and spear wielding goblins and Khans that have a hand to spare. These are the only part of this campaign that will be delivered in resin. Here's the full spread!
Edit

Pledges Levels

Get to know your options. Each tier is also available as an Add-On so mix and match to your wicked heart's content!

The Lone Hero Tiers
You need your leaders to last through thick and thin, chases and routes, tips and drops. Under the Lone Hero tiers you will receive a foot character of your choice, or the mounted character, depending on your edition selection!

The Regiment Tier
Made of tougher stuff than what they actually represent, this tier comes with ten troopers with your choice of weapons. Get up close and personal with axes, harry your enemy with archers, or stab 'em in the back with Assassins. Officer sections and additional regiments are also available in the Add-Ons!

The Mounted Regiment Tier
A metal wolf may be the closest an Eastern Goblin will ever get to riding an iron train, but you'll give them that much at least! This tier comes with 5 mounted Eastern Goblins armed as desired, with either axes, bows, or the (strangely illusive) spears! Officer sections and additional regiments are available for these in the Add-Ons as well.

The Army Tier
Heed the call of the Leaden Church. Whether a long time member of the Faithful (and likely already master over dozens of metal dwarfs) or a new convert you hold that even the unwashed masses must be as perfect as it's brazen leaders.
The Army Tier gives you no less than one Foot Hero, one foot officer section, three foot Regiment sections, and one Mounted Regiment from the above for a full 39 models at a discounted rate. Each Regiment and Officer section can be selected from the options outlined above, meaning you can get your troop sections in anything from 1 set of each weapon type to all 3 sets as a single super-unit!

The Badlands Horde
There is strength in numbers - but it's mostly from carrying so many around! This tier ensures that no less than 57 goblins will make their way to your table. That's one Foot Character, 5 Foot Regiments and 2 Officers sections, each one equipped as desired. The weight of your force will only be outmatched by your the weight of your opponent's mistake in facing you!

The Steppe Raiders
The start of your very own Golden Horde, get ready to charge flanks, dispatch war machines, and ride down anyone foolish enough to face you. This tier sets you up with the Mounted Hero, 3 full Mounted Regiments and a Mounted Officer section, all as chosen by you.



Note that your choice of characters, officers, and equipment choices of troops will be chosen after the campaign ends in the Pledge Manager.
Edit

Early Backer Exclusive!


You've stocked up your army but you can't shake your doubts... can you trust these notoriously untrustworthy troops? Of course not - but maybe if you had a whip?

Well you're in luck because for the first 48 hours of this campaign only we have the Limited Khan available in both Early Bird tiers - Army and Badlands Horde! Both will contain the same models as the non-early bird tier however instead of the standard character selection you will receive this nasty skulker. And don't worry, if you want the other characters too you can always include them in the add-ons!
Edit

Important Polls!

We have two important choices we need to make for this campaign and we want your feedback!

Open for the first week of the campaign is the choice of wolf for the Mounted Khan. We can do either the classic Fabelzel sculpt or the updated Nero one, which do you prefer??? Let us know here!

And for the second week of the campaign, your choice of sculpts for the spear-armed Mounted Regiment option. This poll is live as well so give us your input! Note that the eastern style will be expanded to a full command and 5 unique rider sculpts as well.

Eastern Style

Edit

Stretch Goal!

There was a time, they say, when the the Eastern Goblins' cousins ruled the even further east. So far east you'd reach like, fantasy Japan or something. It was very far east.

And these cousins, they didn't ride simple wolves. This prideful bunch rode great dogs of elegant stone.

And perhaps, if we're very lucky (and reach $15k) one may join their cousins here - in this very campaign!

While they are still very much under construction but here is a very early work in progress. Once complete one will be mounted by a great Khan of the Farther Eastern Goblins and made available here as an Add-On. Keep watching!


***Update***
We have been lucky indeed! Nero will continue work on this sculpt and it's rider and we will offer it in the Add-Ons of the Pledge Manager. An auspicious day indeed!

Shipping Information

Estimated Ship Date: February 2027 (We consider this very safe now that we have experience but don't want to overpromise!)

We're working hard to get the best possible shipping rates for you, both domestic and international, and in most cases have secured prices well below retail. The nature of our product (it's weight varying greatly based on pledge level and add-ons), pricing updates, and general market uncertainty means we are unable to give exact prices, but can provide the following range estimates for 0-2 lbs (large orders will exceed this weight).

  • US: $11-15
  • Canada: $16-23
  • Rest of the world: $19-27

Orders up to 4 pounds, with the exception of US domestic, could as much as double this. Orders over 4 pounds become too variable to give any specific guidance but are quite expensive.

We estimate our Army Tier to be almost 2 pounds on it's own, the Badlands Horde possibly over. Please keep this in mind so there are no surprises come shipping!

Note that these are estimates only and final rates will not be known prior to shipping.

Shipping fees will be collected post-campaign at shipping time. Any duties, taxes (including VAT), or other fees are the backers responsibility due at import.

Missed the Evil Dwafs?



A project launches and you didn't hear about it or were strapped for cash in the moment. We get it, it happens to even the best generals. But isn't the point of crowdfunding to actually launch a project instead of just sell it at one moment?

We agree, so every Pledge Level in this campaign also gives you access to the models available in our earlier Evil Dwarfs campaign. These will be made available for purchase in the Pledge Manager after this campaign finishes. A tier here, a tier there... all of a sudden you're talking about a real army!

Not interested in any of our Eastern Goblins or just itching to get your dwarfs faster than campaign fulfillment? The Evil Dwarfs are also available on our web store during this campaign's run so head over there for a peak!
Edit

The End?

We've had one campaign, yes, and here is the promised second. But I'm sure you've noticed we have no evil mounts! No hideous crossbreeds! No thundering artillery!

Never fear, these are not forgotten. Even more campaigns are on the way, ready to sate your thirst for molten metal, you leaden freaks!
