Black Crab Unleash The Doomed Knights On Kickstarter
December 11, 2024 by brennon
Black Crab Miniatures, the collaboration between Andrew May and Moritz Krebs (@blackcrabarts) returns to Kickstarter with a new campaign covering a new set of 28mm miniatures, the Pathetic Cavalcade of Doomed Knights.
Doomed Knights // Black Crab Miniatures
This campaign focuses on bringing to life the strange, Doomed Knights by Moritz Krebs with a new set of characters in metal for you to use in your weird and wonderful Fantasy games with a dark twist.

All of the characters here come from some of the brand-new art by Moritz and May has had a bit of fun picking out the best of the bunch to be turned into miniatures. They all feature something quirky about them that draws you in and makes you want to spend that little bit of extra effort painting them.

I think these would be absolutely perfect for those looking to use miniatures for the likes of MORK BORG and Forbidden Psalm. They fit perfectly with the style of those games but could equally find a home in other indie 28mm projects that have a Dark Fantasy focus.

In the lore, these five knights were found wandering in the wilderness after stumbling on a village ravaged by the fearsome Wolpertinger. No one believed them and they were thrust into an asylum for their ranting and raving. On their release, they have become deranged knights hellbent on finding the creature, the Wolpertinger and bringing it to justice. Do they really have the people of the land's best interests at heart? Was the Wolpertinger just in their imagination?

If you would like a beast for them to fight, you can get the Wolpertinger as part of this Kickstarter project. Antlers and ears are to be added to the beast that you see below but it seems like the perfect foe for your Doomed Knights to come up against.

I quite like the idea of using the rules from Forbidden Psalm to play out the quest of these Doomed Knights. You could make this into a one-shot campaign for your group to get stuck into, making up rules for a small warband and then battling through the destroyed village in search of the beast. Maybe enhance the eerieness by having the Wolpertinger return time and time around even though it has been slain, pushing the idea that these Doomed Knights' psyches are the real reason for its existence.
What do you make of the new campaign and these miniatures?

These are…. something XD (and by that I mean I like them)
Never heard of this company, but I take my hat off to them. Really nice stuff there.
I keep saying “never again” to another small box of minis from Meridian, then I back it anyway. I just can’t resist em. Another Spring Clean candidate.
