live MOMminiaturas: Mercenaries

[Knight of the Dinner Table]

Base pack (early bird) is about $28 (for resin minis!)

 

lots of stretch goals adding minis to that base pack (at the moment, there are five (!) more minis in the above pack), lots of add-ons at a price that's too good to be true ... so I think I'll be a bit careful (especially since my experience with resin KS is not good).

 

 

etc ...

 

Anybody heard of this Spanish company?

[Spodi]

Ooo, those are quite nice, and a good price (though a bit less good after shipping).

[Gadgetman!]

They have a few nice minis on their homepage, but it's only in Spanish...   

(The domain seems to have been registered back in 2014, so it's possible they've been around a few years)

That last one is Ogre-sized.

 

Yeah, I found a number of mentions of that company on the Internet. They certainly have been around a couple of years.

[Chaoswolf]

Yes, they've been around for a little while, and they make some pretty nice figures. (I've got a few I got second hand that are waiting for some paint)

I don't know if they've ever done a kickstarter, though.

[Knight of the Dinner Table]

afaik it's their first. But if they are an established company, that does not bother me (that much).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

All but the last stretch goal (an Ogre!) are actually unlocked. I hope they have a good idea what they can shoulder ... would not be the first KS that went off-course because of stretch-goal inflation.

These look real nice. I am in for the early bird + 10 Euro extra for 5 more minis. These will make great command and unit leaders for my Fireforge games army that's coming. It doesn't hurt that this is a super great deal, even with 15 euro shipping.

 

Their website has "Hijos de Grifo", Sons of the Griffon? some of which are already part of the kick starter, but there is a unit of halberdiers that I would love to get. I asked in the comments if they would consider adding them as an add on... I nice unit of 30 with full command would be great. The cavalry look pretty good too, but don't know how much I can swing for this.

[WhiteWulfe]

Can't figure out why, but I definitely like the personality of these minis!

They've been around for a couple of years. They do seem to operate primarily in Spain, but have received some attention in Germany. I know the Brückenkopf Online site covered them at least far back as early 2017, and Battlefield Berlin carried them at one point (I think they haven't restocked lately, though).

 

I've never actually seen any of their stuff myself, though, so I can't really say anything about technical/material quality, unfortunately.

 

EDIT: Also, I wish the campaign had larger images. Just so I actually said that.

I had been so shocked by the shipping cost, I hadn't even looked at the base set price.  Even with both to the US, that's a great deal.  I've been eyeing the existing Greatsword curling his mustache for some time, so I will definitely be adding him on.

These would make an excellent Mordheim warband.

[Smokestack]

So right now, for 40 Euros... 25 + 15 shipping (US) which is about $45.26 you get 18 human sized minis and 2 Ogres. With another free mini unlocking soon.

 

Edit: The above price is the early bird, which lasts for another 5 days, then goes up 3 Euro.

 

Their cover picture is what you get right now. That's 2 Euro ($2.26 US) per mini currently. With all of them resin and 2 large size guys.

The pricing seems incredibly low for resin. I'm worried that they just aren't going to be able to complete this kickstarter.

It does seem low compared to other companies. Though on their website, the characters offered in this kickstarter are 4 euros vs. the 2 euros here. The regular soldiers are 10 euros for a 10 man unit. So it looks like they normally aren't that high outside of kickstarter either. If they can sell at those prices normally? The 50% reduction on characters is a thing though. From the creator's comments in the comment section, it does not sound like there will be many more stretch goals, so this is probably as good as the deal gets... but its a pretty good deal.

 

On a side note, the Creator said that the halberdiers that I asked about will be available in the pledge manager. So, I am looking at another 34 euros in the pledge manager for 30 halberdiers and 3 command.

 

Edit: So bigger pictures of some on the KS characters, the halberdiers and the knights.

Oh they have. I discovered them a couple of years ago and their Dwarven infantry are really good value for money. When it comes to the dwarven stone golems you can occasionally see sculpt lines and the same applies to some of their regular sized models in a few places but they've really cornered the cheap and cheerful market that a lot of rank and file wargamers are looking for.

[Knight of the Dinner Table]

Stretch goals up to 20k unlocked (20k being another free mini).

 

30k looks good, though it'll probably be an add-on for me  ... but the Dungeon Lord pledge is starting to look like a good deal:
