4Ground’s Fabled Realms Dragoul Henchmen Stalk The Streets
March 22, 2017 by brennon
4Ground has sent through some final renders of how their new Dragoul Henchmen are going to look for the Druggoi Coven in Legends Of Fabled Realms which will hit Kickstarter around June this year.
If you're interested in finding out more about the Druggoi then you can check out The Weekender episode where we sat down with the guys from 4Ground to talk about the factions and the game in general. What's apparent right away, however, is that these creatures are looking utterly fantastic.
I say it a lot but there's a real sense of motion and action about these sculpts as if they really are getting ready to leap on you and tear you apart with their claws and teeth. Mentioned in the comments last weekend they do indeed have a bit of the Darkspawn from Dragon Age about them, but with a twist here and there to make them feel original in the world of Fabled Realms.
It's nice to see that the characters come in different shapes and sizes too as you can see here. That poor Dwarf has been corrupted and I shall not let it settle! Thankfully 4Ground let me know that someone will be getting their revenge in the Sellswords Starter Pack so I'm feeling better now.
One of the things that really caught our attention was the look of the faces for each of these characters too and you can see them in more detail here...
They genuinely are very creepy! Hopefully, when they come to fruition in miniature form they'll have retained this look. Painting them will be a doddle too as with some quick drybrushing and washes you could create some depth and relief on those faces.

Of course, this isn't the only faction in Fabled Realms and you can find out more by watching the video interview mentioned above or over on their social media page.
They have images of their Militant Order Of The Eightfold Path which also includes this epic Halfling fellow...
Let us know what you think of the factions they've talked about in the comments below and which one you might be picking up when the game comes out. I'm having a hard time deciding now as both the good guys AND the bad guys look very tempting. Heck, maybe I'll just get both...

I love the sound of the City Guard. The idea of having a faction made up of numerous races really appeals to me.
However, until they’re released, I may have to go with the Druggoi. Although, like yourself, I’ll probably end up getting both.
One thing that I don’t like are the hands – they look like copy & paste as all models have the same hand pose.
That’s a good point. These are just renders however so I imagine the final 3D prints will be different.
holly shi.. I cant unsee it now!
Wasn’t sure I should have been clicking on this link whilst in public given its promise of ‘hot pics’…
NSFW less… ‘work’ more ‘wallet’
Reminds me of Dragon Age…
Bloody Foreground and their unbridled enthusiasm ………. yes I watched last weekends interview…………..yes I loved it ………..no I don’t need another fantasy game ………….. yes I am probably a sure thing …………*sign.
and that eightfold path Halfling is so cute …… bugger ……. *sigh ….again
I’ll be checking this out, if only for the minis (even on rotation, i have difficulty playing all the games i have!).
The monsters and some of the fluff do reming me of Dragon Age too…
they would be good as demon possessed people.
Looking forward to these, I hope they make the stretch goals for the KS to fully flesh out the factions (rather than produce more faction starter sets). A variant of each henchman to fully max out the options (I believe the henchmen are in groups of 5), would be really nice to see, and having multiples of a model in a skirmish game isn’t as pleasing to the eye. I;m getting a vibe somewhere between The Witcher and Dragon Age (the first one). Its kinda germanic/slavic in feel that I hope they continue as it helps the models stand out… Read more »
Woa i just imagining paint such a great miniatures, lope to join the ks when live!!
I cant wait to get free rules download and play test it and see guys at salute!
It will be interesting to see how the Druggoi play in this game. Given 4ground’s description of them they seem like the hunger driven horde. They kinda remind me of the Walkers in Walking Dead or the zombies in Zombicide. But in those games, the actions that they take are controlled by the board. I’m wondering how they will give the feel of the hunger driven horde yet still allow the player to play them tactically.
Seems very cool: i’ll check it up
