Westfalia Take To Kickstarter With Heroic Pride Knights Project
June 5, 2020 by brennon
Westfalia Miniatures, alongside Archer Inventive and the sculpting talents of Boris Woloszyn, have taken to Kickstarter with their brand new campaign for the Pride Knights Miniatures. Take a peek!
Check Out The Pride Knights On Kickstarter
Archer Inventive is a pretty well-known entity on social media and the Pride Knights are an awesome band of individuals cosplayed up to kick ass and take names. It makes a lot of sense then that these characters have been turned into badass miniatures by Boris Woloszyn for use in your roleplaying games, skirmishing wargames and beyond.
Pride Knights Pledges & Stretch Goals
As part of the campaign, you can either decide to buy smaller selections of the Pride Knights or you can go all in and get The Gathering pledge which you can see below.

Looking beyond that set of seven miniatures, you'll also be able to pick up some additional stretch goals as the campaign expands. To begin with, you've got some Character Sheets which are themed to each of the Knights.

Stepping beyond that, there is also another miniature for you to pick up as part of this campaign. The Pride Knights need themselves an enemy and that's where Bigotry comes in. Another stunning sculpt from Boris Woloszyn.
Pride Knight's Adversary - Bigotry
Beyond that, there are going to be a series of Adventure Items which you can pick up from the campaign as it gathers steam and heads towards different Stretch Goals.

As you will note in the text for these images, they will get added into the mix as part of that Gathering pledge that we looked at above. You can also get them as Add-Ons if you pledged at a different level. This all looks a lot of fun and they could provide you with a great warband of individuals to use in something like Rangers Of Shadow Deep or Frostgrave perhaps.
Will you be snapping up the Pride Knights?

I think these are great! Very tempted but my hobby budget is a bit tight at the moment. Hope it does well.
backer number 1! been there, backed that. Now I want my Bigotry
Yes yes I think I need these knights.
Nice.
Highlander?
I like them. They fill in a lacking slot in the hobby. But something tells me than Misandry Knights would have been a more adequate name.
No. I’m all for creativity when it comes to hobbies and miniatures, but I hate it when people drag real-life issues into fantasy and science fiction settings. It’s a shame, because the minis do look good, but I don’t want to be preached at by my hobby. (I’ve already cut ties with HeroForge and Privateer Press for the same reason.)
It never fails to blow my mind… These people always make it about themselves. Always trying to make themselves heroes against “bigotry”. The problem is they are the biggest bigots around. Taking generic D&D figurines slapping rainbow colors on them then calling them pride. Then saying they are so creative. It only shows how little imagination they actually have.
they’re based on real people and the larp characters they play. so there is nothing generic about them as they built their costumes and then the sculptor has perfectly captured the look of them. If you don’t like it fine, but wind your neck in on the generic front.
And… So what. They are still generic D&D figurines. There are millions of pewter figurines 10 times better. This one’s just using”pride” to sell them meaning they wouldn’t get sold otherwise
of course they would, Boris is one of the best sculptors out there and these are excellent sculpts. Are there better figures, sure, are there millions? I seriously doubt it. The fact it’s based on something specific to sell them good. CMON do the same, Mantic, GW, D&D is built on models being sold based on a specific thing.
That they are releasing their pride characters in pride month, good for them.
Clearly you think these kind of figures haven’t been made for the last 40-50 years, maybe longer. These are generic. And the fact that it is pride for pride month means they are being sold purely on identity politics. How about people have pride in being people instead of their sexual preference? That’s my opinion. You don’t like it, kick rocks. These are boring and I have no interest in it.
Good for you now fuck off.
So I assume you backed the KS then Bluesun
As @avernos said, they are based on specific LARP characters. People had requested models based on those characters, so there was clearly a demand.
Am I supposed to care about people that don’t matter and aren’t interesting in the slightest? These are boring. Stop trying to convince me. I don’t care
Welcome to On Tabletop.
lol
Awesome minis, giving us more options to field serious female warrior minis. Bravo!
Those are really great looking sculpts.
Those are not mine but Bigotry really looks cool… the sculpt is amazing…
I like these, I’d been vaguely aware of their Larp group and think it’s fantastic that Kickstarter, 3d sculpting, the socials, all combine to make projects like this possible. Good for them and for Westfalia.
These are seriously amazing looking minis and a great little project. An easy choice to back!
