Ride to Battle Upon Pewter Ponies?
September 18, 2013 by dracs
You now what the miniature gaming industry needs more of? Cute, cuddly ponies. Luckily Slap Miniatures are here to fill that void using Kickstarter to fund their range of Pewter Ponies.
The bronies are getting everywhere nowadays.
With the help of funding from Kickstarter, Slap Miniatures aim to create a collection of hand-crafted pewter miniatures of what they call "a fantasy race of intellectual equines for you to command in your table-top games."
In general these ponies look pretty well sculpted for what they are. Their design is pretty obviously taken from the inexplicably popular My Little Pony franchise and though the heads seem to me to be disproportionately small it is a hard call given that they are supposed to look cartoony.
Still if you think your games need a more equestrian element to them than this is the Kickstarter project for you.
whole lot of nope…
Lol watch out for the incoming bronie stamped!
If these reach their target I may have a few… hundred.
@johnlyons … John, I’m concerned… I think you have been away from my influence, and living among the englishers for too long.
I must admit since moving here, I too have on rare occasion found myself staring wistfully in to a nearby paddock, admiring the equine qualities.
I have even found Justin giving in to unholy desires and staring wantantly at a local coppers mount.
I feel it’s time we went home, and got a pint of guinness down our f****ing necks 😉
Further proof that there is no god.
Er… But it’s not April 1st.
Oh christ. You mean it’s serious. F*$% me!
I guess what I’m mostly surprised by is the fact that we got ponies *after* the flying butts.
Hmm. Butt.. Stallion. Oh damn, I might get one of these after all lol
Showed these to a female friend of mine, to say she liked them was an understatement. Just goes to show, something for everyone when it comes to miniatures.
Along the lines of Want want want want want want want *breath* want want want want want want want
Buy it for her and let her play with those in a game of Fanticide, at least there are legit lore.
Sod that, ill get them for myself and use them as a new type of chaos deamon lol
@deaddave – im guessing i’ll need to get Romain to do up a tutorial on how to paint bloody rabies mouths on minis then 🙂
If you get one of these for a tutorial, I will do it as a leper-pony. Or an anatomically correct male pony. Or I will dismember it and use it as scenery on the base of a psychopath barbarian.
And I will make you eat it.
We all knew this will happen someday… and all creatures in the internet have to live together… so as the bronnies say… lets tolerate the shit out of this.
Suprised none of the closet bronies on the site havent said anything yet… actually think they look rather fun myself and i’ve managed to reignite an old friends interest in the hobby because of these so thanks dave for bringing this up!
These will be great for my new space marine chapter ‘The Rainbow Buttercups’.
A pretty mixed bunch there, some good sculpts, some pretty wierd ones. Might look into it if only to bring it to table and ruin someone’s day, because as we all know, once you see a pony, your grimdark day is ruined forever.
These are evil fun!! The Cornulae would make fine mascots/familiars for Bretonnian/High Elf forces, or fire magnets at least.
Any how everyone knows MLP’s are hardcore…
