Dreams of the Overmind -- Funded on Kickstarter @ 2025/10/14 19:13:43


Post by: Mortal Arrow


It's been awhile, but I've finally gotten off of my butt and found the time, energy, and motivation to release Mortal Arrow's 3rd Kickstarter (6 years after Warren of Vile Fungi). Thanks to all of our previous Backers!

For this tentacles, bones, and brains themed Kickstarter I've continued my partnership with long-time collaborator Pedro Navarro. He started this new project off with a huge-sized Ancient Overmind "brain emperor", and has also added several more brain beasts of small to huge size. I also tried to take this project in a couple different directions with first-time collaborators Federico Genovese and David Cauley. David sculpted a set of Deep Beast Thrall minions (think Quaggoth meets Flayer technology) and Fed created a series of undead Overmind entities (floating Phantom Flayer, Bone Flayer, etc.). All in, there are 14 unique miniatures in the core set. These hand-sculpted miniatures will be cast by Valiant Enterprises in either resin or metal as costs/model designs dictate. I've attached a sneak peek picture.

The project goes live on November 1 and you can visit the pre-launch page here:

Thanks for taking time to take a look and offer your feedback!

Looks nice!

I take it these are ready to ship in a couple of months when it ends?

That's a name I haven't heard in a long while! The Marilith and Bodak were from your lower planes line were some of the first miniatures I painted....still kicking myself for not getting more of that range when you still carried it...hopefully you bring it back one day!

It looks like what you have lined up for the kickstarter is some real fun stuff-I'll definitely be taking a look when it launches.

Yes, the Fractured Dimensions line is really what got me started down this path. Absolutely love the process of developing a Kickstarter concept and carrying it forward in collaboration with talented sculptors. The hard part is keeping it contained enough so that I can finish and deliver minis within a reasonable timeframe. DIY

Thanks!! Yes, these minis are completed and the picture is of the master casts. All that is left is to create the production molds, make product, pack and ship. Should be 3 to 4 months tops to fulfill all pledges.

Love those deep bears. I don't think I have ever seen anyone do sculpts of them before, so It's pretty cool to see someone do them- like the optional head with the goggles. I hope the kickstarter does well.

Thanks @Catoblepas!!! David Cauley did an amazing job on the Deep Beast set. He has a way with furry creatures. We're almost to the funding goal (76% as of right now), so I'm feeling hopeful. BTW - one of our Backers sent me some fan art of the steampunk Deep Beast. She calls him Artie.
