Hasslefree Heads North For Their Nordic Dwarves!
July 29, 2013 by brennon
Hasslefree Miniatures do well when it comes to sculpting ladies but they have also now made me all the happier by bringing forth a whole host of new Norse Dwarves! Check them out below...
Now those are some good looking Dwarves that range from royalty to the humble adventurers diving into the woods in search of stray goblins. Since Dwarves have such a place in Norse mythology it makes sense to make up some characters based on this legacy. I have a feeling that next time I check out Hasslefree stuff I'll be picking these up.
In another more uninteresting note (they aren't Dwarves so why should I care!) they have a selection of their resin masters for a selection of fantasy heroes and the rather awesome looking Ekaterina, their new femme fatale super spy.
If you're feeling in the zombie mood then they also have their Z-Squad set which is based off the Left 4 Dead team. I honestly thought that Crooked Dice would get to these guys rather than Hasslefree but it's nice to see some more zombie survivors. At least you know these guys will survive the attack!
Loving the Dwarves?
Those viking themed dwarves look rather amazing. Ekaterina is rather nice and those resin masters are rather sweet and I could image using any one of those in fantasy RPG. That Z-Squad dosen’t look very good in my opinion.
The Dwarves are superb.
They look similar to the Red Box Game Dwarves of which I have a fair few
Wonder how they compare in size
I thought they were RBG ones to begin with, especially the Ranger. They do look very snazzy though.
The dwarves are the same sculpts as the red box ones, just bought a couple and the guy with the hammer (model is called Bruti Brighthammer) is the exact same model from red box. Hasslefree sculpts are never as good as those.
Begs the question why Tre is not credited (unless I missed it)
Was pretty convinced that they were RBG but could not find them on the website. (again, I might have missed them)
Am wondering if these are OOP figures and Hasslefree now have the moulds
Tre’s earlier Dwarves are larger than his second edition figures.
Possibly. Regardless, they are excellent models, especially for one-piece casts.
Quite so.
As I said have a fair few of both the male and female Dwarves.
Love em to bits. 😀
Anybody else reminded of zoe nemov with ekaterina?
Dunno but the dog is definitely Scooby-Doo
