An Empire Grows on Kickstarter
March 25, 2014 by dracs
Haste Games have headed to Kickstarter to help them gather the funds they need to raise up The Empire, a new force of Medieval Fantasy humans in 28mm scale with heroic proportions.
The campaign aims to unlock nine modular, plastic regiments, providing you with the minis you need to start building a force of humans to fight back their tide of enemies.
Here are the regiments that we can hopefully expect to see coming to defend humanity.
Haste Games plan to bring out rules for all of these on their website. However, these aren't all they have planned as some stretch goals are also hanging around the Kickstarter page.
From the look of the artwork and the miniatures that have already appeared I think that this Kickstarter is looking pretty promising. The design of the human Empire is suitably grim and gritty and would make for an excellent alternative force with which to build your armies of men.
Are you going to help this Empire to expand?
Thanks to @elvar for letting us know of this.
Nice to see that you took on board what Warren was saying in FTLOV on Sunday about Heroic Proportions, rather than Heroic Scale Sam.
This actually looks pretty good. I can’t support it, unfortunately, because I can’t afford to right now (unemployed), but the models look very nice, and I think I would pledge if I was employed.
I just can’t help thinking that they look dangerously similar to GW’s Humans. :s Still, they’re very nice looking miniatures. I particularly like the Conquistador image they’re planning to do with them.
Strong looking miniatures, high quality casts and a fair price.
I bet they will have the same casting issues as mantic gets but that’s a small fix that comes with high definition sculpts.
I’m in.
Mmm, looks pretty good. That war priest concept especially… hope the miniature is as good.
They won’t have the same issues as mantic as these will be hard plastic kits and not some sort of hybrid resin rubbish. The only problem I have is the at least a year wait.
looking rather cool.
Well done! Can’t wait to see the finished stuff.
They look fine for some sort of late-medieval period equivalent.
