Red Box Games is Back With More Heroic Miniatures
October 13, 2014 by stvitusdancern
Red Box Games is back on Kickstarter looking for help with funding to create some more heroic miniatures.
This time they are looking to produce some heroes that can be Viking-ish? According to the designer he has the sculpts already completed and is looking for the funding to produce the molds and the casting costs.
The miniatures do look pretty good and the details are nice. He states that they will be cast out of white metal, so let's hope the detail remains as good. He believes that with his current contractors he can have the items delivered by January 2015 if under 30 miniatures models are created during this Kickstarter. If the model count goes over 30-35 then he is thinking more like February/March. He has met his funding goal already and is doing real well in the stretch goal department. This amounts he is asking seem reasonable, and I would like to get in on this, but a certain Venetian Kickstarter has taken a lot of my gaming funds. But, if you are looking for some really nice sculpts for your fantasy or even dark age game these might be just the ones.
Some really tempting models in this kickstarter.
$50 for the set of 5 minis or a smidge over £6 each. Not bad at all but seems self indulgent in the run up to Christmas.
And I really want Tradkarl the Wanderer because he would make a brilliant Father Christmas lol
Thought the quilting on the men of arms exquisitely done Gianna.
I received my Craven archers from the previous Red Box KS, and the detail looks good.
Am confident it will translate well into the models
I too think they look really great and as you say they look just as good in metal than I’ll have to look into picking some up.
Those are rather nice sculpts.
I always liked the look of his sculpts. One day I might back up one of his Kickstarters.
I really like the human figures I got from Red Box, and will likely order some more down the road. The elves are too small, but they went to @chibi, and I don’t think he had any complaints :-).
Imagine how happy Happi is with a fish and multiply by a factor of a whole shoal! lol
Must take a comparison pic of the elves with the Craven. The latter seem larger than normal Red box figures.
I’m really not a fan of modern fantasy miniatures, simply because the style of fantasy which is almost ubiquitous these days, is not the style I like. Red Box Games, however, I really like. The remind me of the fantasy of my youth when fantasy had its roots in real world myths and legends, and wasn’t about comedy orcs and dwarfs flying helicopters. If Red Box minis were easier to buy in the UK, they could tempt me back into dabbling in fantasy. I’ll be keeping an eye on this Kickstarter because it may be the one which finally makes… Read more »
Oswald would be good for questing games.
