Unboxing: Kingdom Of Celesia Praetorian
November 11, 2019 by avernos
Gerry returns to rapturous applause when he shows off the Praetorian miniature from new company Hardsix Gaming.
'Miniature' is a bit of lie as the praetorian easily eclipses its 36mm brethren. The folks at Hardsix gaming are releasing these miniatures ahead of the Kickstarter launch of their new game Kingdom & Empire.
The praetorian is a clean miniature with lots of space for detail on the shield and cloak. Or maybe you will want to make it an eldritch knight and sprout some tentacles from the shield.
What game would you love to run the Praetorian in?

Truescale minis are a big plus, but why in 36mm? There’s already 25mm, 28mm, 30mm, 32mm, 35mm… Adding another scale just creates more incompatibility between miniatures. Ideally I’d love to see the industry settle on only a few scales to cover everything from mass battle down to individual character level.
I fear the moment decades ago when people started using millimeters as a scale spelt the death knell for that. ^^
I miss bases being 1 1/8″ X 3/4″
The reason for the 36mm scale is that it was the smallest scale we could make the humanoid sized miniatures in something resembling truescale and still have them show all of their details after being painted, as well as remaining reasonably able to be painted by hobbyist miniature painters. We tried smaller and it just wasn’t workable with truescale proportions.
He looks really nice. Would be good so see him in context if he’s a giant construct.
Search the site I did an article a couple of weeks ago showing some of them charging about with little fellows

Its actually a little disappointing in context. Kinda looks like someone’s just grabbed a mini from a different game with a different scale. Could use a little something extra to help sell the scale, but I don’t know what.
That’s a big golem…
Ooh a fabulous figure and would look brilliant on a game table as a suited knight giant for other game’s
nice miniature, but it’s another fantasy skirmish game in an already flooded market.
The same could be said for every scale and genre. If people don’t follow their dreams because something already exists then we may as well chuck our toys in the bin and go back to chess as the last original wargame
I just wish people would innovate a bit more and bring something other than a fantasy skirmish game.
Way to many bits to that model
nothing special in this model. you could buy toy from schleich with same or better quality and its painted.
