Northumbrian Tin Soldier Preview Their Curious Cats
October 8, 2019 by brennon
Northumbrian Tin Soldier has been previewing a few more miniatures coming your way as part of The Curious Cats Of Crumptown Kickstarter which is going to be popping up towards the end of October.
The idea behind the campaign is that it is going to give you character miniatures to use with games of Dungeons & Dragons, matched to the iconic classes from this classic roleplaying game. Of course, the twist is that the characters are all going to be furry friends...cats ahoy!
As well as Isabella above there was a preview for the gruff and weary-looking Sir Hector here too. One imagines that he is going to be a Fighter or perhaps even a Paladin.
I love the fact that we're getting more quirky characters to use in our skirmish and roleplaying games. Northumbrian Tin Soldier also has a really distinct and quirky style to their sculpts which reminds me of old Saturday morning cartoons.
I could imagine painting these in some bright poppy colours and really going to town on the fur as well as the stylish clothing they are adorned in. I can't wait to see the other characters they have been working on nearer the launch of the Kickstarter.
What do you think of their sculpting style?

They remind me of some cartoon or anime but I can’t think of which one….
Between these, Burrows & Badgers, the ducks and a few others, “adorable” is getting a good airing from miniatures companies right now. As a change from grimdark-as-heck I really love it!
It’s a good sign that we’re seeing a lot more inventive sculpting and expression now rather than just seeing miniatures made to suit core games that are on a majority of tables…I love it.
These are creative time we live in. As you say, a good sign!
They look fabulous figures.
Cute lil mini’s As Somegeezer said it’s a nice change from Grimdark.
