Thank you! It's nice to be appreciated...

Now that is a beautiful sight to see from a Kickstarter creator!

While I agree with you, the lassie at the Post Office didn't... she was not a happy bunny when we walked in with that lot!

Sorry to hear that! They will hit retail pretty quickly after fulfillment this time... I have to finish sorting the webshop by the end of the month, or Jo says she'll apply a -1 modifier to all my dice rolls. And punch me.

It's a tough one with the clothing; because we're going for low-level characters, I spent a day trawling through various editions of D&D, (It's a tough job I've got!) and every class was basically chainmail, leather, or clothes. And that's it. But once these 12 are done, we can start adding a bit more variety in style and level.

Thanks! Although I really, really want to resculpt those robots; they need better joints, and some sort of swappable weapons set-up.... No! must not get distracted!

...and thank you Baragash!


We've added the Bard sculpt today, and I've written up a step-by-step on the sculpting process here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/oathsworn/heroines-in-sensible-shoes-28mm-miniatures-for-rol/posts/1475940

And here's the Bard:


The project's going really well for us! Although I've probably just cursed it by saying that...

cheers
Michael

That bard is great! I really like the swords she is carrying.

But....But where are the boobs plates and all the nudity ?!
I mean, they are girls, they MUST fight half-naked in ambiguous positions !
I'm not interested In fantasy models, but GG for making these realistic females warriors.

Cheers guys!
Here's another one - Half-orc Barbarian, with javelin and great axe:



cheers
Michael

Received my pledge from your last campaign, sculpts look great

That javelin looks extremely short and thick, even considering the kinda old-school style these gals are sculpted in.

I'd consider redoing it a bit slimmer. Although I suppose it could easily be converted into another axe for anyone who find it too chunky.

The half-orc has been changed, to remove that javelin. It was actually supposed to be a torch, which was turned into a javelin because half-orcs have night vision and therefore do not use torches, that is why it did not look so good.
But the new one looks real great imho:

I think I will pledge just for her, because of the badass factor.

Yeah, new version is pretty awesome!!

Looks much better. Pose-wise as well.

Backed. Looking forward to the miniatures.

That half-orc is amazing.

Wish I could order that individually.

I think you can. First pledge level. £5

I thought that but the pledge images suggest otherwise. Will wait for the team running it to pop by this thread and confirm.

I think you will be okay if you choose the first pledge.

From the KS page:

Single Lady Pledge - choose any 1 pewter miniature from this project.

I'll echo what others have said about the revised half-ork. She looks great!

I asked on the Kickstarter about the pregnant villager, and apparently that's exclusive to the higher tiers(according to a random poster anyway).

Backed, I went for the Rogue, Halfling and Magic User. They all have a lot of charm, they look like they will be fun to paint up too.

Ba ba ba bad...
Ba ba ba bad to the bone....

Ba ba ba bad...
Since the day I was born.....

Dayum, that is an incredible sculpt - and just about exactly what my good lady wanted for her half orc barbarian.

The Auld Grump

I'll be honest. I'm pledging for the set because of the half-orc and the dragonkin, on the basis that if this were a box set at the local game store, I'd buy it for those two models alone.

Now I did. Badass orc barbarian, here I come!

I am sorely tempted to do the same! Shipping is a bit of a bummer for a single figure, but still no bad at all (5 pounds for the mini plus 5 pounds to ship). Of course the price per mini is under 3 pounds if getting the full set of minis for 35 pounds

Edit: Put in a token pledge for now, didn't realize this only ran for 10 days - ends tomorrow! Would be great to see it break 1000 backers in such a short time (currently at 934 with 22 hours to go)

New model revealed!

Eeeek! I might die form adorable overdose!

I had been planning on just three... but that figure... my good lady... I can't pass it up.

The Auld Grump - as my coherence is abandoned on a wave of cute gnomishness....

The Bard's lute is amazing! This seems pretty cool.

I took a gamble and went in for the full set at the start of this campaign, and I'm glad to see it paying off. This will be a fun set to paint up.

Thanks everyone for all the comments and support! And for posting the pics here, that's been very helpful!
I'd have been in replying more regularly, but the last week has been a lot busier than we anticipated...

Just to answer the question on picking single figures, you can pick from any of the 11 adventurers. Only the NPC mini can't be picked, because we figured it would be unfair to the higher pledge levels, as it meant as a bonus for them.
Everyone gets the resin monster's nest though!

Anyway, down to the last few hours now... https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/oathsworn/heroines-in-sensible-shoes-28mm-miniatures-for-rol

I don't think these two have been posted here yet:




cheers
Michael

Just 5 hours to go in this quick campaign, and just 10 backers till 1000! That means it will have averaged 100 a day, really impressive

I must admit, we're both surprised and pleased by how well it's gone.

One more pic - my attempt at painting one:



cheers
Michael

Very nice! Also, saw this from the comments

I didn't think of that, but in an RPG setting, that model is almost assuredly going to be in the situation of needing to be rescued more often than not . At least the other adventurers "in sensible shoes" can help with the rescuing!

I think she would also do well painted as a statue, as a centerpiece for a temple. Or with some flowers and vines in a forgotten shrine.

That's a good idea

And this has blasted past the 1000 backer mark, with 90 minutes to go now!
