Preview Mighty Kickstarter Minis From Magical Miniature Game
September 18, 2020 by brennon
Magical Miniature Game is going to be launching their project on Kickstarter next week which offers up a selection of massive miniatures for hobbyists, painters and wargamers to use. The Rise Of Obliterarium is going to be hitting on 29th September and here is a peek at those monstrous miniatures.
Ataualpha, War-Chief // Magical Miniature Game
Whilst the range of miniatures is designed so that they would fit into all manner of different Fantasy games, there is a background to their world of Obliterarium too. The idea is that these animal warriors grew and evolved out of a massive cataclysm which rocked the world. They have now grown into the titanic beings that you see here and dominate the world.
Kensin, Hatamoto // Magical Miniature Game
The Kickstarter itself will cover a selection of 75mm high-quality resin miniatures as you can see here drawing on influences from across the world. You've got some Aztec and Mayan influences in there as well as plenty of elements drawn from Far Eastern cultures too.
The idea is that each of the boxes they are making will focus on one of the four races (Avials, Kizune, Mintaros and Sphynx) and will either allow you to get a set of five legendary figures or a massive Demigod miniature which will take command of the field of battle (or your mantlepiece).
Mirzda, Assassin // Magical Miniature Game
The miniatures are very cool and really do show off a neat and inventive way to approach these different cultures, drawing on classic imagery from their cultures and turning them into fantastical heroes for use on the tabletop.
Mut & Flyx // Magical Miniature Game
This is just the tip of the iceberg for what Magic Miniature Game has lined up as part of their Kickstarter and perhaps these would work well as characters and monsters to use in your Fantasy armies which cross genres and systems. I particularly liked Mirzda where Magical Miniature has taken a different approach to the minotaur. No bellowing wild animals here!
Make sure to keep an eye out for the Kickstarter which will be going live on 29th September as there will be an Early Bird special in the mix. We'll no doubt have a better look at it when the project has properly launched.
Update
In response to concerns raised here MMG's owner has delayed the Kickstarter until September 29th and tackle the issue that people have raised regarding the name which has now been changed to Magic Miniatures Game. Here is what he had to say about it
Dear Guys.
I would like to explain the situation around the name that we have chosen for our company.
More than 10 years ago I played the Necron army and I loved the Monolith tank. This was the time when I decided that if I was going to have a company then I would call it Mythic Monolith Game.
When we registered our current company in Dublin, we made the research, checked both names together, and could not find any 100% match, which made us confident that we can go ahead with the registration.
As we see, it is completely misunderstanding situation and now we rapidly reacted to it and have already started the process to change the company name.As well, we already communicated with the Mythic Game and Monolith Game and the situation is solved.
We don't want to mislead people and we hope you support us with our project we love to share with you.
I hope that clears things up for everyone and people can focus on the miniatures and not a name.
-Gerry
What do you think of these big creatures?

Assassin Mirzda giving me the Muhnuhmuhnuh Muppet vibe. Not a complaint, please get two and paint pink!
I only clicked at ‘paint pink’… XD Still I got juice on my screen now… She would be right at home in Lumineth Army.
MUPPET LUMINETH ARMY YES!
In the immortal words of Sam the Eagle “No, sir. I don’t like it” … lol. In all reality they’re pretty good. Ataualpha would be interesting to see painted from the garuda inspiration.
Assassin Mirzda is awesome, I hope their other miniatures of Minitaros are the same quality!!!!
Great figures for Egyptian God’s or goa-uld for star gate players.
Those look really nice.
Totally not an attempt to cash in on the brand names of either Mythic Games or Monolith Games. Surely it’s just a happy accident. Pretty sure Mythic Monolith Game have a long history of successful game releases…right? Or is this actually another collaboration between Mythic and Monolith?
If not, are you sure y’all should be giving them any press? If so, I’m totally starting a McBurger King franchise.
Oh good, not just me wondering who these people are and why they have that particular name.
And here I was, innocently thinking “they should have googled their name”. *facepalm*
> 75mm high-quality resin miniatures I know Mythic and Monolith have a stumbly record of game releases, but don’t remember problems with their plastic miniatures. This *is* their first KS with resin, so backers should ask about the resin casting company they are using. If you remember Battlefront vs. Paolo Parente, or Demigods vs. Archon, if the creators do not have a good contract and understanding with the caster, and the caster does not have proper experience with resin, problems can certainly develop. I’m not interested in the miniatures, so am not backing or looking that closely at the project.… Read more »
Whoops — So the creator has no connection to Mythic or Monolith.
Hi guys,
Gilles from Monolith Board Games here. Just confirming that neither Monolith or Mythic Games are involved in this project – but we will be discussing the brand implications with our legal team.
Certainly confusing.
I did a search on the website is : https://www.mmgame.eu/ (added to KS Profil).
From WhoIs, this website is Ukrainian, not Irish and to see the name registered :
https://whois.domaintools.com/mmgame.eu
You refind the russian identity of this person in the Russian Internet, and is known to could be a scammer:

I know it is difficult to check the news but when something looks as fishy as this maybe @brennon could add a few warnings to the end of the post just to advise people to do their own due diligence before potentially throwing away money on KS?

Given that Mythic Monolith seem to be paying for advertising, they might not be too happy with that…
It’s ok I reached out to them this morning for a chat. Will update later, basically an innocent mistake it seems – they just need a bit of time to work out what processes they go through now 🙂
Seriously, what’s that name that smells like the unfair competition and commercial the commercial parasitism, guys … !? There’s already one of these 2 companies which is known to pass its finances through Luxembourg, … And then this …

Hopefully they changed their name.
Can you please modify the article so it’s not confusing for people ?
Thanks.
Cool!!
Many thanks for your update.
Those look amazing.
I have a set to unbox, the resin casts are superb
Hurry Guys, Let us see the figures 🙂
Registered the company in Dublin, but are based where?
It is Kickstarter, so Caveat Emptor.
I’m not sure I can take someone seriously who starts a gaming company, especially on that makes miniatures, and claims not to have heard of either Monolith or Mythic.
I impressed by the miniatures and I looking forward to see the unboxing of the project!
Some discussion on the Reaper forums that these designs may have appeared on the Legendarion site, also Ukraine based.
Due diligence, and all that.

I really don’t get it. What’s wrong if they have someone from Ukraine Russian? about the minis, maybe they bought the rights from that company. I have worked at KS for 2 years and I know that KS checks all documents and bank account. So it’s not like that, just go there and say you want to sell the project.
> I really don’t get it.
And, with any KS project, you might not get your rewards, either. I’m just reposting what others have said so those interested in backing the project can follow up and do their own due diligence. It doesn’t matter to me if you back a project, whether or not you do or don’t receive your rewards.
I just got an email that the rise of Obliterarium was funded. I really want to see more unlocked stretch goals.
Hooray 🙂
