Recent KS acquisitions

I've been steadily accumulating figures that I've funded through Kickstarter. I don't have all of them in hand, much less assembled and painted but I figure I'll list some here for reference:


Halfling Skeleton Cavalry by John McMannis
Sculptor: Bob Olley


John strikes again, adding yet another set of Halfling undead to the market. This time they are Halfling skeletons mounted on skeletal war pigs! I backed at the Calvary Horde level, so I shall be getting one ten figure set of cavalry with hand weapons and one set of cavalry with bows.



Halfling Skeleton Army Halberds and War Machine Crew by John McMannis
Sculptor: Bob Olley


The latest in John's series of Halfling skeleton Kickstarters, this got me one 12 man unit of halberdiers and ten individual crew for war machines (tailored for one catapult, one ballista and one cannon).

So with John's previous Kickstarters, I've got four units of undead Halfling melee troops (one hand weapon, one spear, one halberd and one assorted from other companies), one unit of missile troops, two units of cavalry (one melee weapons, one bows), three war machines and a variety of characters. Quite a nice little force of undead Halflings! And add to that...

Dead Gnomes Rising by Old School Miniatures

Wow. Just...wow. Skeleton gnomes. Will they be useful in combat? Who knows? But I'll throw them in there with the Halflings.

Ancient Grudges: Bonefields by Macrocosm Miniatures

Now these will be a nice addition to my growing undead Dwarf and Orc/Goblin armies. This KS funded a whole set of game rules and new line of miniatures. Don't need the game, but I backed this at the "Undead Horde" level, giving me 15 separate units of undead Dwarves or Goblins. In addition, I purchased a number of add ons.

Undead Orc Skeleton Warriors and Cavalry by John McMannis

Sculptor: Bob Olley

John took a day off from imagining skeletal Halflings in order to have these produced. More troops for my undead Orc/Goblin army!



Titan-Forge - Zomblins

Zomblins
Company: Titan-Forge
Part #:
Sculptor: Slawek
Released: 2012

If there is one thing I wish we'd see more of, it's miniature companies making more demi-humans. I have thousands upon thousands of skeletal humans, but only a handful of skeeton orcs, goblins, dwarves, skaven, lizardmen or elves.  Especially elves! Jesus, can't we get some more undead elves other than the standard bearer from the Cursed Company and that one in the Otherworld Demi-Human pack???

Well here to fill the void is Polish company Titan-Forge, who ran a startlingly successful indiegogo campaign last year to fund their Drakskull's Menace line. When you look at the miniatures from Titan-Forge and Scibor, there is some seriously outstanding work coming out of Poland these days.

Now normally I don't do zombies (Nothing but bone! NOTHING BUT BONE!!!) but in this case, I'm making an exception. Not only do these miniatures fill a glaring gap in my Legion (undead goblins) but they are darn cool looking as well.  Not to mention fun to paint. So now I have a solid unit of undead gobbos to compliment my hodgepodge undead orc units. I'm taking the fight to my orcish rival! Beware Ork-boy!
