OUR AIMS

Put simply, we want to produce a great line of high-quality miniatures which can be used for a variety of purposes.

These miniatures are going to be cast in lead-free metal for several reasons; metal miniatures are more durable, retain great detail during casting while costing less than resin and provide the best material for converting models.

Standard troops (e.g. the first two female models) will have interchangeable pieces; the heads, arms, torso and legs are printed separately with the same joints.

Special characters and leaders (e.g. the female death mage) will be more detailed and, while poseable, will be more focused towards being showcase pieces. Having said that, where possible, these models will come with multiple pieces (e.g. heads) which can also be interchanged with the other models.

Below are pictures of master-casts, held together unceremoniously with blu-tac. We specifically laid aside part of our starting budget to have the models printed with numerous different companies so that we could choose the best result for the project.

We're delighted that the tiniest details, like the knives on her left leg and the cross-stitching on the sides of her trousers, have come out perfectly. The model is shown here on a standard 25mm base. See the 3D renders below for comparison.

THE REWARDS

We have 54 models planned, and funding beyond our stretch target of £20,000 will be a huge bonus (including multiple free models for all pledges £19 and over) allowing us to pass considerable savings on to our initial backers. The list of planned models, along with unlock levels for the campaign, is shown below.

All models unlocked will also be available individually at the end of the campaign as an add-on for the same price (£6) as at the reward levels.

We wanted to keep the description short and sweet, so please find the 3D renders of the first three models below. Your support of this project means that we have money to not only master-print the other renders but also then cast these for distribution to the pledges.

I backed for the early bird 3 pack. Interested to see what else they unlock. Female warrior 2 is ok... and the knights not bad... Don't really like female warrior 1 though...
