Kickstarter Review - Curse of the Hollow Hills

I've been hitting the Kickstarters hard lately, actually spending more money on funding the creation of miniatures than buying actual miniatures. Over the past two weeks I've either pledged, or completed the surveys for four different Kickstarters. I thought I'd list them here.

First up, the Curse of the Hollow Hills by the Greek company Crippled God Foundry. They had been plugging this for weeks around the various Facebook pages, sub-reddits and forums. So I was super ready after seeing the preview renders. In fact, I was backer number one. (We're #1!)

I backed at the Dreadful Monstrosities level - although I pledged more as I knew I was going get a bunch more through add-ons.

Here's my haul:


The Foul Abomination I really have no need of. There are a lot of the "fat zombie ogres" around and I find them utterly unappealing. Although the skeletal animal things are interesting. Of course, had to go for the Undying Wyrm. Yet another drake for my collection. However the sculpt is really nice. And the Death Watcher - another in the recent explosion of undead beholders.


One Everliving sorceress liche


One undead Alhun liche. Perfect for my Chaos: Legion of Hell. (Alhun is the non-lawsuit way to say "Mind Flayer")





A bunch of skeletal infantry.


A large skeletal rat man for my Skaven contingent.


And finally, a zombie hill giant. Not skeletal to be sure, but a good addition to a barbarian or Dark Ages army.
