Footsore Miniatures Head To Wales With New Kickstarter Soon
August 5, 2021 by brennon
Footsore Miniatures are on a mission to bleed wallets dry with another amazing looking 28mm Historical Kickstarter campaign. They are once again working with the supremely talented Matthew Bickley on a set of miniatures for The Welsh that could be used for the Dark Age, Early Medieval and Late Medieval periods.
The Welsh Commander // Footsore Miniatures
These miniatures are going to be coming to Kickstarter in Late August and will give you all of the troops you'll need to include them in the likes of SAGA or perhaps The Barons' War at the other end of the spectrum.
The Welsh Mounted Commander // Footsore Miniatures
The focal point of their idea seems to be to provide you with the core troops for The Welsh that should suit all manner of different periods then use the Generals and other leader figures to help cement your force within a particular time period.
The Welsh Heathguard // Footsore Miniatures
It should be noted that the range is particularly extensive already. Bickley has been very, very busy it seems and created a collection of stunning miniatures that would look resplendent in any collection. I really like how he is able to capture so much character in their facial expressions and make each of them feel like an individual warrior rather than just part of the masses.
The Welsh Spearmen // Footsore Miniatures
There will be a variety of pledge levels that will get you in at different stages I would guess as well as a bit of pick and mix. I am also intrigued to see what the folks at Footsore do when it comes to stretch goals and the like too.
The Welsh Archers // Footsore Miniatures
We've seen Footsore do a lot for the Norse-Gaels, Irish, Picts and Scots in the past but this is one of the first times that we're seeing them fully explore the Welsh during these periods of history. They match up quite nicely with the warring state of the British Isles throughout the Dark Age and into the Medieval as petty kings fought for control of what land they could see from their castles.
What do you make of these previews?

I have a Gripping Beast Welsh army for Saga and the sculpts do leave a bit to be desired (mostly the hands – clothing, sense of movement, etc. are generally superb). I’m sorely tempted to jump in on these as an upgrade.
A fabulous looking army of John Hurt’s.
War Doctor, lol, may need one set aside with a Tardis right at home in next saga game
Lol.
Would he win when he has to fight an army of Gerries ?
Or would he let the wookie win ? 😉
Probably not unless he has his sonic screwdriver?
Really nice ?
Like it
Very much interested in these – especially as you can use them for a variety of periods. Wars of the Roses maybe, lightly armoured troops from the siege of Harlech?! Or for the Welsh troops that flocked to Henry Tudor after making his landing in Milford Haven in 1485?
Llwyddiant i’n marchogion!!
Sure nice, but Romans in Mortal Gods, please 😉
Do I need these? Probably not but that mounted commander is a must have and considering their past kickstarters have been great I won’t miss out on this one either.
