Check Out The Stunning Starfinder Masterclass Miniatures On Kickstarter
September 28, 2017 by brennon
Ninja Division and Paizo have teamed up on Kickstarter to bring to life the Starfinder Masterclass Miniatures collection for your role-playing games set in their Sci-Fi RPG.
The project is aiming to supply you with stunning resin miniatures for you to use as heroes, foes, and even vehicles to travel in whilst you're diving into this hit role-playing game from Paizo.
These miniatures above were painted by the astute hand of Angel Giraldez and show off just how amazing these miniatures look when they've been finished for your adventures. As you might imagine with a Kickstarter there is plenty to get your hands on and the collections break down into Heroes...
...and Encounter Packs which focus on the enemies you're going to be facing on the tabletop during your adventures.
I really like that they've taken the time to bring some of the enemies into the fold as well as the heroes. It means that you're not having your Sci-Fi warriors fighting against Fantasy models! You can also get some big mini-bosses and bosses for you to throw into the mix.
As interesting focuses for your storytelling and narrative development as you're exploring the galaxy these seem perfect. I can't wait to see the model for Ksarik! You can also get your hands on some fleet models as well to throw into the mix when you head off into the depths of space.
Plenty of fascinating models are taking shape in their Add-On and Stretch Goal sections too so the range is going to expanding at quite the rate one imagines over the course of the campaign.
Will you be diving into this?

Those look stunning.
Interesting and tempting, but ND does not have a good Kickstarter history for delivery. There is a post on BGG linked below detailing their recent issues. This is unfortunate as I am loving the minis so far, though I have yet to pick up a copy of StarFinder.

If it was not a ND Kickstarter I would be all over these. Bring them to retail and I’ll buy a bunch.
great figures love the ships.
ND = stay away! Can’t even begin to tell you how much money I’ve lost to these guys over the various projects.
Hell, even the My Little Pony RPG was over a year late by the time it landed over here in Canada. My girls had almost grown out of the damn show by the time it came. And that was just printing a book!!
ND can be quite slow but in all my personal interactions they’ve always delivered and I’ve been very happy with the end products. What I’m hoping for is a successful campaign but also a bit of a wake up call too. All companies have growing pains when they aim to expand and I really do have a soft spot for SPM, I’ve been in since their first independent campaign, so I’d like to see them make it to the other side rather than hit a wall. Plus those space goblins and space undead are sweet 🙂
I’m guessing you didn’t back Robotech. Because no one got everything from that KS. And what they did get was unplayable and subpar. Quite a lot of bitterness over there on KS about that one.
No, but it was my understanding that the troubles for that KS rest almost 100% on Palladium Books including choice of manufacturers; SPM was a contractor and had fulfilled their obligations to PB. I could be wrong, like I say I wasn’t a backer so I know little about it, and if I’d backed it I’d probably be fairly tilted myself regardless. The number of balls they’re juggling is concerning but I’ve got FK and NAS pledges I’m super happy with, just my personal experience as I say 🙂
I don’t think ND had much to do with the Robotech RPG Tactics failure. I suspect that once ND set up everything to go to the manufacturer, PB balked at the manufacturing costs, kicked ND to the curb so they could shop around for cheaper options finally settling on some ultra cheap company whose equipment designs dated back to the 70’s. The Bandai Star Wars models I am getting now in 1/144 scale are cheaper per model and in less pieces than the Robotech “game pieces”, and are fantastically more detailed. PB tried to charge GW prices for low bidder… Read more »
all I can do is echo som e of the above I backed Rail Raiders Infinite in 2015, it was supposed to deliver in October 2016, and we are now 2 days away from October 2017. From what I understand from reading the various forums I’m still no closer to receiving the game. It is apparently sitting in a factory in China somewhere. I hate to say it but I am now wondering if they are hoping for funds from Starfinder to cover the shipping on Rail Raiders – it has been knon. Suffice to say I won’t be backing… Read more »
The more I read about SodaPop and Ninja Division the more I think they are having financial issues. SO much of what they are saying just doesn’t add up, and it all points to them fulfilling previous orders by creating new ones – wait a minute I’ve heard of something like that before, it’s called a Ponzi scheme.
First thought- those look fun, can’t wait to buy some.
Then I notice it’s another goddamn KS. Don’t tease stuff I will be able to buy five years from now for the love of god. I know KS is great because you as company have zero risk, and customer bears all the risk, but I miss the good old days of buying existing products, not vaporware.
John & Deke went on KS live last night to answer questions on their outstanding KS campaigns.
