Burrows & Badgers Beasts Return To Kickstarter
November 1, 2018 by brennon
Oathsworn Miniatures are back on Kickstarter for a short and sweet campaign which will bring to life another collection of creatures for you to use in your games of Burrows & Badgers.
The range focuses in on fifteen new characters which would be great to use as part of your warband or as NPCs that you could also throw into the mix.
Leading the way we have possibly my favourite miniature from the collection, Forni Long-fur.
I love the look of this wizened old Badger Wizard who is going to certainly become part of my three man warband. I want him to be the powerful old fellow behind the scenes pulling the strings.
Both him and Skegg The Oak are the two miniatures from the campaign that might get turned into resin creations simply by virtue of the fact that they are so big!
I do also love that they are looking towards the likes of the Otters and such as well including Bart Quicktail.
There are almost enough different characters out there now to do a full-on pirate crew.
A lot of the fringe races have now been dealt with in more detail but it's good to still include the classic races like the mice!
This is another of those cool characters that you could use when it comes to creating a crusading force that has headed out on an adventure. Now, they have returned and are looking to restore some order to Northymbra.
We mentioned above that they are also delving into creating some characters that are a bit like NPCs and that's where Gorrim comes in.
...and as if that isn't cool we also have the awesome Mole known as Lorgam Ironsmite.
I don't normally look at playing with Moles in my games but I love the idea of including him within my ranks. Maybe it would be awesome to do the whole crusader thing and then introduce this fellow as one of the grim priests who journeyed with them.
The Kickstarter only has a few days left so it's well worth checking this out!
Will you be grabbing some of these characters?

Looks like a nice little project; unfortunately I can’t afford to go in on this right now so I’ll have to give it a miss, otherwise I’d be tempted to nab a pick n mix pledge level to pick a couple of them up. Guess I’ll have to wait until they hit retail (which isn’t so bad as I’ve placed B&B on the back burner for now anyway).
We’ll have a Paypal option for about 6 weeks after the project ends, so no need for the back burner just yet… 😉
It’s more a case of busy with other projects (see my 40k project log) that has pushed B&B to the back burner than anything else. 😉
I know that feeling! I was doing fine until GW suddenly started releasing loads of cool stuff again, and now my painting queue is… let’s just say… long.
If your queue is short, you’re doing the hobby wrong. ?
Fabulous looking figure’s I can see why Ben likes the game.
Cheers! 🙂
These figures just keep getting better and better. I have a feeling I will be painting some in the not too distant future. They are just too tempting.
Give in… join us! You know you want to… 😉
You know I want to paint deadly animals! Gotta find some locally. As soon as I do I’ll start a new Project Blog.
There’s another great range of minis here, and it’s going to be interesting to see whether the game’s first Beaver model wins favour over the Badgers as the chosen ‘big hitter’ of people’s warband. It’s great to see more pirates too, and I love Billy the Stout with his crossbow – a definite must for my Royalists.
I like a hare as my big hitter, tbh! 🙂
Yes, an armoured hare always worked for me too. They’re a lot more flexible than the largest sized beasts. From the tournament in Northamptonshire earlier this year the sense I got was that most warbands included a badger; maybe that wasn’t accurate, or it just felt that way because I took an armoured squirrel as my big hitter (bad idea), but it is certainly comforting to have a massive beast that opponents need to pass a fear test in order to go near.
To be fair, out of what you had available, the squirrel was the best choice… he was just unfortunate that there were a lot of badgers and wildcats in the opposing warbands! 🙂
I think badgers will stay popular until I can get around to sculpting Massive Hounds and Raptors… that’ll shake things up a bit!
