DUST Studio Explore the New 32mm World of Anastyr
August 31, 2012 by brennon
DUST Studio's are expanding their range of miniatures with a selection from a new line called Anastyr. This new collection looks at giving you 32mm miniatures for the 'discerning collector'. Check out some of the products already on their web store below...
First up is Skoll, The Protector. This pair of twins were both given the same name and became the utterly devoted defenders of Undrall. They are some amazing looking miniatures, even from these images and could make amazing character pieces.
Next up is Undrall herself, Queen of the North. Kind at heart but with a rule of iron she commands her tribes with deadly efficiency, continually looking to expand their dominion.
And last but not least we have Konrad, Master of Blades. With his twin swords Sorrow and Frost Wave he leads Undrall's forces into battle, either on horse or on foot. Another fantastic miniature for a character in a role-playing game!
All of these miniatures are cast in resin and limited to 350 pieces world wide!
Will you be heading into the North with Anastyr?
Both Skolls have utterly ridicilous looking swords and one in right also has ridicilous looking shoulder pads. How ever both Undraal and Konrad seem to be rather well sculpted both mounted and on foot.
See I love those swords lol. It means the weapon isn’t just a cutting weapon but can be used to puncture armour too! Delicious destruction at the hands of Troll weapons 😉

Umm… or just point which way to go lol
I really like the models. The Skolls remind me of the art style of the movie Labyrinth.
I like them but I could see some after market cosmetic conversions being applied. 🙂
I’d like the mounted ones a lot more if the horses didn’t look bored. But even as is, I dig it.
It’s a shame they’ve gone for 32mm, as they will be oversized for my 25-28mm armies. While the weapons of the skolls look look ridiculous, I like Konrad.
One would think a queen could afford more armour.
I like these sculpts but, what is this Barbarian fashion trend atm with long pieces of cloth/mail dangling between the legs?!
Stop it, it is just plain stupid. What is wrong with a good old Codpiece of Thrusty Deliverance with adds +1 to AC and allows a power thrust attack from the groin with 1d4 damage.+1
Instead we are given the Dangling Teatowel of Entangling which is -3 Dex
Everyone’s seen the new Conan movie and decided that’s the way to go.
What I don’t like about the mounted models is the disconnect between the movement in the cloaks and the fairly staic appearance of the models wearing them. If they’ve flung the cloak around themselves, they should be leaning a bit to balance against the motion, and if it’s a wind strong enough to lift those pelts up like that then they ought to be bracing themselves against it. There’s very dramatic movement and direction in those cloaks, but the rest of each model looks largely static.
Everyone except me! Probably just as well I haven’t seen the movie as I would doubtless moan all the way through about the apron! lol
You have to take the wretched thing off before you can mount your trusty steed!
Good call on the cape. Since they have had to remodel them for the rider it may as well have had a more suitable draping. It really doesn’t work with the pose of horse and rider
