Oathsworn Bringing Animal Heroes To Kickstarter Tomorrow!
April 7, 2015 by brennon
April 8th 2015 marks the date when Oathsworn Miniatures launches on Kickstarter with another campaign this time to fund their anthropomorphic heroes in Burrows & Badgers! I'm so excited to see what they can come up with as the funding rolls in...
Above you can see some of the animals that they've already created for the project including some we've not seen before including what looks to be a Rat or Stoat Rogue on the far right as well as a Mole and potentially another creature on the left I can't quite make out.
I can't tell you how happy I am that Oathsworn have decided to go ahead with this project as it not only brings together a fantastic collection of miniatures but it also invokes the memories of childhood and reading Redwall books. It would be amazing to live out those adventures again with a role-playing system and these miniatures to help.
Nevermind a role-play though, how about a proper skirmish game too set in Redwall where you have to marshal a group of heroes (and maybe a few anti-heroes) to go and deal with a Rat problem!
It would be remiss of me to not mention that Oathsworn have funded five campaigns already (to an extraordinary level) and each of them has gone on to be equally successful and delivered on its pledges.
Can you tell I'm excited?

For Redwall gaming try ‘Song of Splintered Land’ by Ganesha Games

Those look really promising and have they uses even outside Redwall.
I’ve backed all the previous Oathsworn Kickstarters. Great company. I’ve actually started on painting my Odin, well, the horse is built and undercoated but it is a start!
Robert, I’ve had my Odin built and undercoated since July… I’m just really nervous of painting him!
Anyway, Burrows and Badgers – There’s a skirmish ruleset to go with the figures, but it still needs typing up, PDFing and a LOT more playtesting. But once I get it finished we’ll make it available as a free download.
love the rabbit knight and the little mouse with the sword 😀
Oathsworn is a small two person company and has had 4 kickstarters, all completed and delivered in a timely manner. Excellent communication, great behind the scenes updates and videos letting us in on the process of making the minis, from sketches to in depth sculpting WIPs, to mouldmaking and casting. They also make resin bases and accsessories, like the Trollskin rug for their McFiggin Dwarf Brewers set. Every single mini have tons of character to it, slightly reminiscent to “Oldhammer” in style and it all seems so effortless even though there must be enormous amount of thought and work put… Read more »

…Aaaand I’ll pass. :/ And many others will as well, with the existing pledge system. The campaign currently has a huge gap from the £9 Badger pledge to the £30 Party of Five pledge. No “single miniature of your choice” pledge, no add-ons => no chance of just buying one or two models that you liked.
