Go Questing With Daniel Mersey’s Knights Of The Round Table
November 30, 2022 by brennon
Temple Of The West and Daniel Mersey have now launched their Kickstarter campaign for The Knights Of The Round Table! You'll be able to get your hands on an awesome range of 28mm metal characters from the Arthurian myths and legends for you to use on the tabletop.
Daniel Mersey's Knights Of The Round Table Kickstarter // Temple Of The West
The miniatures from this collection were inspired by Mersey's love of Arthurian legends and the want to bring them to life on the tabletop. With the collection that they have now amassed, you could play our all manner of King Arthur-based adventures in skirmish games and mass battle games!
Pack #1 // Knights Of The Round Table
The majority of the miniatures from the collection have come from Stavros Zouliatis who has worked on pretty much all of the knights that King Arthur would have had at his table and the various friends and foes that they might have encountered on their journeys.
Pack #2 // Knights Of The Round Table
Additional miniatures like Palug's Cat and Ywaine's Lion were sculpted by Daniel Kelly. As an added (and rather nerdy) bonus, the heraldry shown on the shields for the different knights is accurate and was hand sculpted to make sure it was as on-point as possible!
Pack #3 // Knights Of The Round Table
As you can see, the team haven't shirked their duty when it comes to the personalities from the old myths and legends. You've got knights both well-known and some less so plus plenty of additional characters like the Lady Of The Lake and Guenevere.
Pack #4 // Knights Of The Round Table
One of my favourites is The Green Knight. I think they have done a sterling job on him and I think it will be fun to see him going up against Gawain! Talking of nice things, the paint job on these miniatures is brilliant and comes from both Steve Beckett and Kyle Gibson. It's very nice to see a whole range of painted miniatures to give you an idea of how they'll look when on the tabletop!
A few fiendish foes have also made it into the mix beyond some of the legendary enemies of King Arthur and his court. You could run around the woods robbing peasants with the Brigands for example.
Pack #5 // Knights Of The Round Table
Or, get stuck in and start smashing up villages with the aid of Gog And Magog. There's a really nice mix of different miniatures for you to choose from here and most importantly, it feels like Temple Of The West has pretty much got you covered for the Arthurian legends. You won't need to go anywhere else!
Pack #6 // Knights Of The Round Table
The designs here are very much inspired by the later tales of Malory and Tennyson but it's good to see that there are still plenty of those fae influences worked into the different miniatures.
Pack #7 // Knights Of The Round Table
As a bonus, a set of Reference Cards has also been created featuring the artwork of Anton Fort and Gary Chalk whom a lot of folks will be familiar with.

These are there to give you some background on the different characters and help inform your skirmish games and roleplaying adventures when you perhaps meet these various personalities on the road. They also just seem nice to have because they look nice!
Bonuses have also been added into the mix including The Sword In The Stone, The Holy Grail and more so make sure to check out the Kickstarter for more information.
Are you going to be diving in and picking up the miniatures from this campaign?

Fab looking figures I don’t remember a Lion in Camelot.
It used to guard the moat and fetch the takeaway.
Lol.
According to our “lore specialist” Mr. Daniel Mersey, Sir Ywaine saved a lion from a Dragon attack and the lion befriended him for the good deed. They went on to fight foes together after that. Moral of the story, save a lion… why would ANYONE fight a guy who has a lion??
Where is the table? I don’t see a table!
False advertising!
Cor they’ve got the moistened bint and everything! I don’t need them but my will power is not powerful.
“sigh”
Adds a note to check Kickstarter when I get home….
These look too cool to pass up.
Amazing miniatures, but my heart sank when I saw the shipping costs to the EU… 🙁
The entire pledge is 1.8 pounds of metal. Unfortunately, that’s just what it costs us to get a package over there. We are not making 1 cent off of shipping. We are getting close on having the campaign be EU friendly too though! So that will save some money on taxes. We wish shipping could be cheaper!
