Resolved to reclaim Frostheart Island from the Lizardmen, a clan of Berserkers led by Wodan the Allseer and Skadi the Huntress eparted from the fjords.

After being overpowered by enemy hordes, the Northmen sought refuge in ancient ruins dedicated to a long-forgotten god. In their darkest hour, they performed a ritual to embrace the fearsome Curse of the Bear. Sacrificing a part of their souls, they became Skinchangers — tempests of claws, teeth, and raw fury.
Their unmatched ferocity was destined to be the stuff of legends, echoed in the tales sung by Skalds.

As a horde of Orr’ugs gathers around the Dragonpeaks to claim the Dragonheart, the Dragonlord Kromatur sends a signal to the brave dwarves of Skutagaard for help.

Sworn to an oath of allegiance that the dwarves will not betray, the Mountain King Alvar Jotunnbani answers the call of the dragon cult and not only sends his finest warriors, the order of Lok-Badar Defenders, but joins them in the epic battle of the Dragonheart on the foothills of the Dragonpeaks.

With the original Dwarven Defenders set being only the second release from Artisan Guild all the way back in 2019 they decided to give them a facelift and re-imagine them with their latest skills set, and also add cavalry. These wonderfully characterful sculpts are now available to buy on the shop.
