Athena Miniatures War Of The Roses Kickstarter Ending Soon

November 24, 2020 by brennon

Athena Miniatures are closing in on the final few hours for their War Of The Roses Kickstarter. This is a new set of 28mm Historical miniatures which allow you to field massive armies for use during this period of turmoil in England.

War Of The Roses Kickstarter // Athena Miniatures

This selection of miniatures are all pretty much ready to go and the aim of the Kickstarter is there to make sure that all of these miniatures get released to the masses. There is a classic look to a lot of the miniatures here which cover important characters, mounted generals as well as the rank and file.

Mounted Characters // Athena Miniatures

All of the miniatures here are cast in metal and would be a really awesome way to build up a classic Medieval army for use during the War Of The Roses. You can use these miniatures for both sides of the conflict as there wasn't much to set them apart beyond the flags flying above them!

On Foot Characters // Athena Miniatures

You can get a full look at all of the miniatures that are available from Athena Miniatures over on their Kickstarter Page above but I've picked out some of the core elements which really do make this a one-stop-shop. You've got masses of Archers who always get a tick from me...

Longbowmen // Athena Miniatures

...and then your grim and resolute looking Billmen. These are your hardened troops who are going to be marching forward through the mud!

Billmen // Athena Miniatures

Billmen were rather deadly despite being rather lowly! Those cruel looking weapons would be able to hack down knights with ease and make a grizzly mess of anyone caught on the other end of them!

As well as the troops and characters that you've got here as part of the Kickstarter you've also got some vignettes which can be set at the back of the battlefield.

Surgeon Vignette // Athena Miniatures

These surgeons might make part of a large camp which you need to protect from attack by your opponent! All of this comes together to provide you with a wealth of nice miniatures to use for the War Of The Roses period.

Are you tempted to check out this Kickstarter?
