Hi guys.

This month we begin June with a strong mix: court intrigue, muskets, officers with far too much faith in their pistols, and the first echoes of Leasir with boyars, war bears and winged riders.

This is only part of what we are preparing, but we already wanted to show you some of the pieces that will set the tone for the month.

Gunpowder, Cloaks and Court Intrigue

The historical side of June takes us into a world of dangerous halls, armed guards, sealed letters and duels that begin with one wrong word.

Musketeers Firing captures the moment when conversation is over. Some aim, some reload, others hold the line as smoke begins to fill the scene. These miniatures are perfect for skirmishes, ambushes, tavern duels, escort missions or any campaign where a single shot can change everything.

Queen Anne brings a different kind of tension. She does not need to draw a sword to stand at the center of the conflict. In this kind of court, a queen can be an alliance, a threat, a political hostage, the objective of a mission or the person holding the letter no one was meant to read. The miniature has that uneasy calm of someone who knows more than she says.

Lieutenant Andre completes the set as an officer, duelist or agent of the crown. Pistol in hand, cloak over his shoulder and the face of a man who has accepted a mission that probably will not end well. He is the kind of character who can lead the musketeers, betray someone in the third act or save the game through sheer nerve.

Leasir Beneath the Ash Wind

And then there is Leasir.

Here we trade powder smoke for ash, cold, noble houses and banners that are not raised for a clean war. In Leasir, a lord is not measured only by bloodline. He is measured by the men he can gather, the pass he can hold and what he is willing to lose when war is called.

Boyar on Foot represents that frontier nobility. He is not a comfortable courtier. He is a house chief, an armed lord, someone who still has to stand before a gate, a road or a battle line. The furs, heavy weapon and commanding presence come from clear historical inspiration, but shaped into the drier, harsher tone of Leasir.

Boyar on Bear pushes that idea into a much more brutal image. This does not look like a parade mount. It looks like an answer. The kind of figure that appears when a bridge cannot fall, when a gate must not open or when the enemy has already been warned once. Also, let’s be honest: a boyar on a bear had to exist.

Winged Hussars are the great silhouette of this block. Historically, winged hussars already feel almost like fantasy: lances, armour, horses, wings and banners. For Leasir, we wanted to keep that visual power, but make them feel like riders from a harder frontier. They are not tournament cavalry. They are a unit advancing under heavy orders, with ash on their armour and a banner seen before their faces.

We are really looking forward to seeing what you do with them: wing colours, heraldry, bases, conversions, full ranked units... this is one of those releases that can look spectacular on the table.

We Want to Hear From You

This is only the first look at the month, so tell us:

Which miniature would you print first?Which one are you most excited to paint?And what would you like to see in the next Leasir previews?

As always, thank you for being here month after month and helping us build all this together.

The forge remains open.
