Tiny 3mm Dwarf Armies Coming Soon From Microworld Games
August 18, 2020 by brennon
Microworld Games is going to be introducing a new army to their 3mm Fantasy Collection. We've seen Elves and Orcs and now the Dwarves are going to be joining the fighting in this tiny, tiny, tiny....tiny scale.

The first wave of miniatures for this collection are coming together and heading off to the printers soon. Dwarf Warriors, as well as Berserkers/Slayers of all kinds, are getting added into the mix soon. You're seeing the first snippets of these miniatures here before they get turned into metal miniatures to match the rest of the line!

There is a definite look of Warhammer Fantasy Battles in terms of the aesthetic for this range and I am reminded of the old metal miniatures by Games Workshop. Obviously, these are in a very reduced scale but you can still tell what's what from weapons to beards to armour and more.

As well as a bunch of foot troops to make up this force, the team at Microworld Games has also been working away on some of the bigger pieces of kit that always find their way into a Dwarf army. This is namely the Artillery which is going to be laying down covering fire as the Dwarf army advances.

This set seems to offer up a bolt thrower, cannon, organ gun, mortar and then something a little more mysterious at the back. I can only think that it's a flame/steam cannon which is going to belch forth something noxious onto the battlefield.
There are some fun things here for those who like battling on this microscopic scale. With Dwarves, Elves and Orcs now filling out it would be great to see them do some Humans next!
Are you tempted by these 3mm marvels?

Just looking at them and imagining to paint them gives me headaches and eye strain XD
Oooow they are small but full of detail considering the scale ?
Nice great for epic dwarf battles.
Good amount of detail for 3x the size. Impressive!
Those are some nice small dwarves.
I just had a thought: has anybody ever done a 6mm or 3mm skirmish? What size would be the table? 1′ x 1′? XD
3mm? If scales get any smaller, we’ll be playing with specs of dust. Surely at this size, you’d be better off with counters? Anyway, I’m too old for this scale as my eyesight is probably stopping me actually seeing them, let alone painting them…
They look great, but what rules actually use 3mm minis?
This scale is mostly used for mass battle games with a footprint mechanism ( that is minis are not removed one by one – like Oathmark for example). The games you could use are games like Fantasy Rules!, Sword and Spear Fantasy, Impetus Fantasy and even Kings of Wars ( just reduce the base sizes proportionately).
Even games with figure removal just use the same base size like in Oathmark and put a couple of strips of figures on instead of one figure (whats on the base doesnt actually matter in a game) and play as normal
You could do that for sure, in fact I did say mostly. Yet, if you have a unit of 20 bases, you will end up spending more for less functioning units on the table. I don’t see it as a practical choice. Nonetheless, if that is what he wants to do then he should go for it!
