Conqueror Models March Forth With Dark Age Dwarfs
September 19, 2017 by brennon
Apart from the unfortunate and gripe inducing spelling of Dwarfs (it should be Dwarves...pet peeve) Conqueror Models has done an excellent job on their new Dark Age Dwarfs!
All of these models are by the talented Colin Patten who has now somewhat bled my wallet dry. Working as the backbone of the force right now we have their core troops, the Spearmen.
It makes sense for Dwarfs to fight with spears and shields, using their stocky nature to their advantage and embracing the reach that spears offer. The models also look fantastic in their chainmail; very much Tolkien-esque in their design.
As well as the Spearmen that you see here they are also working on a Command Pack, Hearthguard models and more Dwarfs with Dane Axes for that all-important lightning attack on the enemy shield wall.
I may have to pick up these models and drop them in as an alternative SAGA army on the tabletop. They could work very well as Anglo-Danes/Saxons, especially with the upcoming back of elite warriors they have planned.
War machines and characters are also on the horizon too!
Well, there goes my supposed Warhammer 40,000 project...

Oh they look fantastic, and so unexpected 😉
The Saga feel is very interesting especially considering what looks to be a fantasy element to 2nd edition.
Still can’t work out if these are the original Vendel miniatures that Colin sculpted. Was just going to check Sgt Major Miniatures in states who bought the range only to find that up for sale and currently closed.Maybe Conqueror have bought the moulds of them
Finding an old picture this looks like a completely new range
Spot on Ben they wouldn’t look out of place on a Saga table. i see they are also on offer at the moment.
Ben, didn’t Tolkien admit he had misspelt “Dwarfs”?
He might have misspelt it, but it looks better and more awesome when it’s Dwarves!
Cool models. I also prefer dwarves instead of dwarfs.
Ooo nice troops.
@torros – you are correct this is a completely new range sculpted by Colin – hence the similarity to the old Vendel range. But all new masters – and all 32 spearmen are different. @huscarle – for the larger units of 8, 16 or 32 figues then this will always be their price, the website shows them as on sale as I wanted to show peope the more they purchased the cheaper per figure it got – so 20% discount on each figure when you buy 32 vs buying 4. Slightly less discount when you buy either 8 or 16… Read more »
Hey Andy
welcome to the forum and thanks for chipping in. The news that the unit deals are permanent is fantastic. I can’t wait to see the dane axes and characters.
Those are some really nice looking Dwarves.
@brennon With you on the dwarfs / dwarves irritation.
That said these do look rather nice. Thanks for bringing a new company to my attention.
Only recently finished my Vendel Dwarf warband and was wondering how I could bulk it out! Problem solved and order placed for the set this morning! Will be a fabulous addition to the warband, can’t wait for the next batch!
