FireForge Bringing Plastic Northern Infantry Kit To Kickstarter
March 20, 2018 by brennon
FireForge Games are working towards a Kickstarter this Summer which will allow them to create a range of Northern Infantry for their Forgotten World range.
The initial renders are looking good and show off warriors clad in padded armour with spears at the ready. The sets will be multi-part plastic and as you'll see in this painted miniature preview you also get swords as a weapon option.
On Facebook, they have talked more about their plans for the range and it looks like the Northern folk here are going to be going up against Plagued Humans, although I'm sure the name will change closer to their release. While they are working towards some kind of two-player set for the game they also seem to have ideas to expand this to six big plastic boxes in the future too.
For those asking why they are going to Kickstarter; they have answered this question too. For the bulk of product they are planning, the traditional method would cost them a lot whereas through Kickstarter there is much more security for them going forward.
It would be remiss of me not to mention that these do indeed look a lot like Stark Infantry from the Game Of Thrones TV series. Make of that what you will, but the overwhelming response on Facebook has been very positive to this range.
What do you think?

I’ll be taking a look when it starts
Definitely keeping an eye out for this.
Now we’re talking 😎
I quite like these.
They look cool, I like their wee bags 🙂
Look like great Fabled Realms minis.
My thoughts exactly @wesadie1969 but then again with anything i look at lately I try to think of how i can get them into fables realms. These do look ideal. Im intrigued to see their enemys too, very GoT sounding to me.
Nice looking man at arm’s.
I like the chunkier look to these guys…they also remind me of the guard (I think) from Advanced Heroquest.
Very strong GoT feel, that being said, Fireforge kits are very interchangeable, with some head swaps, some weapon changes, these could be great for Fabled Realms but what is really springing to my mind is Men of Dale/Rhovanion for Lord of the Rings, mixing these and the Russian kit will make for some interesting conversions.
These look really good – I’ll have to look out for them!
The renders look very squatty. Either their legs are quite short or very thick, maybe a bit of both. In contrast the swordsman does work though, it seems.
The armour seems to go down to the knees, which is the legs seem short
Obviously it does end above the knee and you can almost see the crotch through the opening. That’s not what this is off here. It’s between the proportions of the different bodyparts. As said before those thick legs especially.
These will do nicely 🙂
Will be buying for games like Frostgrave/Fabled Realms, any idea when the KS actually goes live?
oh boy 😮
