Miniature Kickstarters 10/18/2013

As it is not easy to play on beautiful terrain without some models to use, I will be alternating every week between terrain and model/miniatures on kickstarter. I will be occupied this weekend so I am posting it a little early.

Pewter Ponies - Miniature ponies for table-top gaming by Stewart Lawrence Powley: Ends in 28 hours, at 239% of £3,000

Setting: Fantasy Ponies

Models: Animals(sort of)

Scale: 28mm

Stretch Goals: Yes

Material: Pewter

Visual Detail: Moderate Detail

What you get: A very novel and amusing project. A horde of ponies based on the popular My Little Pony franchise. For copyrights sake everything has a slightly different name but everyone’s favorites are all there. For £85 you can take the lot of them home with you.

 

Darklands: First Edition by Mierce Miniatures: Ends in 29 hours, at 573% of £20,000

Setting: Fantasy Britain

Models: Humans & Monsters

Scale: 28mm

Stretch Goals: Yes

What you get: An impressive new line of games from Great Britain set in a dark fantasy world after the fall of the Roman Empire. Not just humans but monsters as well are represented in this game. Great for enthusiast who want some mostly historical models as well as those looking for more fantasy forces and a new game.

 

Scout Ship Miniature Kit by Bombshell Miniatures: Ends in 5 days, at 86% of $10,000

Setting: Generic Sci-Fi

Models: Space Ship & crew

Scale: 1/48 & 28mm

Stretch Goals: Yes

Material: Urethane Resin/3D printing

Visual Detail: Moderate Detail

What you get: A 1/48 scale spaceship and her 28mm scale crew plus other individuals. A unique concept to start with, however I feel that what would have been more interesting was rather than create 28mm scale crew would have been to focus on the ship itself. There are sci-fi models galore available. You can only get a basic ship kit and that’s it for the mainstay of this kickstarter.

 

Fairytale Games: The Miniatures Campaign by Alexander Lim Ends in 6 days, at 521% of $25,000

The fairy tales we were told growing up show up but with a dark twist, such as the fanged nutcracker and zombie Hansel & Gretel. Very cool, I have personally pledged.
