Drink Up With Mirliton’s Brewer Monks On Kickstarter
March 28, 2022 by brennon
Mirliton is on Kickstarter right now with something a bit different. No, there aren't any warriors here! Instead, we have a set of Brewer Monks in 28mm that could be used for your Historical wargames and diorama builds.
Brewer Monks Kickstarter // Mirliton
This new set of miniatures has been sculpted digitally via a collaboration with Crosslances Studio but the final product will be made available in white metal. Each miniature has been researched and designed based on looking back through a variety of resources. The main thing with the range was to make a set of characterful models so the faces of these miniatures should all feel individual!
Each of the miniature sets are being made available alongside a set of resin and metal terrain that can be used to make the different scenes that you see below.
Brewing Monks // Mirliton
You can set up a scene of these Monks having a nice time of it down at the brewery! This seems like a timely moment for this set of miniatures to pop up as I've recently played a brewing board game called Heaven & Ale. That was all about beer crafting Monks!
There is also a pledge level that introduces a set of Monks inside a scriptorium setting. This just goes to show that it isn't all fun and games with these faithful fellows.

You can get a look at more of the options from this campaign on the links above. It might not be a set of warrior monks battling on the battlefield, but it's a great set of miniatures that can be used to set up a nice diorama. Sometimes, a hobby project like this can well be a good palette cleanser.
You could also use them as a band of drunken Monks that you need to protect from a raid if you need to get some wargaming into the equation!
What do you make of this new set of Monks?

Crikey this is niche. It’s so niche it might be too niche for me. Niche.
They have quite a large range of mediveal diorama type figures already
Oh that’s really something different
Lol it’s Cadfael?
A really lovely set. I have a lot of 15mm stuff from Mirliton. Also they kept the game ‘Fantasy Warriors’ alive. I hope this goes well for them.
They are amazing I just have no need for them at all 🙁
However if Ben does not do an indy of the week for these guys soon I will have to send in a strongly worded letter.
So many interesting models on their site if you search around.
These are awesome for dioramas; can’t really see them being used in gaming.
Still, I’d love to see someone make an awesome set-up with them.
Kinda bummed that you can’t just get the monks . I don’t want the walls and floor ?
Very cool! Great for an objective or even to flesh out a board.
