The first expansion for Runewars in to be released soon (already released in the USA?), and it will contain essentially more options for the standars 2-4 players game, no new race, no fifth / sixth player "slot". That would be the first thing I would have added to the game, but I am not to argue with the FF game designers / sales gurus. Really.

Still, *I* feel the need to allow a fifth player at the table, and also have one or two more races to have different possible combinations even in a 4 players game. Perhaps this is not the way the game is really designed to be played, but I'd like to try. So, if there are no new factions in the upcoming expansions, I am willing to add them to my game of my own.

I have quite a bit of experience at modding and designing boardgames, and also some ideas about wath factions to add, and what they could do. The real problem I have, still, (and the thing about I really would like some help) is: where would you pick the miniatures for a new Runewars faction?

In the worst case scenario, I think I can find some 15mm fantasy miniatures (I actually already have some orcs and some quite horrible, but usable, dwarves). Is there some plastic (or not), fantasy, right-sized miniature line?

Thanks

Can't help you with the minis, but if you want a fifth race without making it yourself, there's a fantastic Dunwarr Dwarves race posted over on BGG. The creator really put a lot of thought into it, not only in terms of playtesting (which he did plenty of) but also in terms of keeping the dwarves in line with what we know of them from the Terrinoth setting.

He has provided resources for making little paper print-out "figures," which is not really the same thing, but it works if you can't find acceptable minis.
