Modiphius & Ninja Division Team Up For Chibi Siege Of The Citadel Miniatures
September 19, 2016 by brennon
Modiphius' newest project on Kickstarter, Siege of the Citadel, is going great guns having bust through many of its stretch goals. The news today, however, follows a Chibi partnership with Ninja Division!
These guys have joined forces to create a range of miniatures based on the characters from the game but with a Chibi twist.
Above you can see the Murdoch miniature which will be available to everyone at the DoomTrooper and Dark Legion pledge level. You will also get an add-on pack of seven more miniatures including Chibi versions of Valerie Duval, Mitch Hunter, Tatsu, Attila III, the Dark Legion Legionnaire, Dark Legion Necromutant and Dark Legion Nepharite.
Not a bad haul right? Each of the models will also have rules for using them in Ninja Division's Super Dungeon Explore to boot.
“The legacy of the original Siege of the Citadel is held with some reverence by me and my team,” says John Cadice, partner, Ninja Division. “We all loved digging through the plastic miniatures and battling our way through Necromutants with our DoomTroopers.
Ninja Division is excited to be working with Cabinet and Modiphius to throw our special spin on those classic designs and draw attention to this awesome new edition."
Overall this is a rather neat little bonus for those that have backed the project and it's nice to see more game crossover.

I approve! These will be great in SDE!
Cool Warzone chibi soldier with big gun.
I kind of like that Chibi style more than the official grim/dark versions …
Likewise 🙂
Well, yeah, I know which set would get painted first…
Are there enough minis to play the whole game with just chibis?
Holy Crap that’s amazing!!!!
I can see this game bringing in new gamers into the Mutant Chronicles universe.
Yeah, but I mean, how did they know that I wanted Chibi Mutant Chronicles stuff?
I didn’t even realize it until I saw the picture.
I don’t get the appeal. Chibi stuff just looks ridiculous to me.
The ridiculousness of it is kind of the point …
Ideally, a chibi miniature is a junxtaposition of two disparate ideals. In this case, the mini exhibits both Cuteness and Badassitude.
i think chibi is a good way to go with board games. its easier to produce really good chibi miniatures than trying for realism with single piece plastics. or a least generally speaking it seems that way to me. but its definitely not everyone’s cup of tea.
Is it bad that I like this more than the normal set?
