That base pack

All bases should be textured. If you don't like them, you can cover it, but it should be a default.

I can see that bases sprue selling well I retail.

New update

Phoenix mini



Townsfolk and Guards



Stairs



Gnoll renders

Excuse me for likely missing the answer I am looking for tin these pages, but I've looked a year back, and did not find it. Which plastic are these parts in? HIPS styrene? ABS, PVC, siocast?

The thing is, while I like the designs of some of these rooms and the late pledge is (apparently) still open, I would most likely need to cut these walls to make octagonal/hexagonal rooms. What glue would work on them? Thank You!

They're all HIPS delivered on sprues, normal plastic cement is what you want to glue them

(they walls are quite thick so if your planning to cut them up use a razor saw

New update

How could you leave out Gary?

Neat enough. The minis look like they're staying on the teeny tiny side of 28mm. Might mesh well with Fantasy Series.

It's all bit quiet on the KS front bar a few images of painted stuff on Facebook - I assume they are busy with MoTU stuff.

In other news they are releasing a Pathfinder range, the dwarven mines aren't entirely new (seems to be a recut sprue with new doors) but the abomination vaults are - looks like 1 new sprue design

important to note as it's half height whereas the earlier D&L stuff was full height...

I hope the keep the older full height stuff available too otherwise buyers are going to be annoyed they can't expand things with the same stuff they have already

and fully functional doors!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isnt that like double the price of D&L rooms, with half height walls taking less space on the sprues?

They’ve priced D&L rooms at $27 on the store for 3 sprues plus connectors the 2 new sets are 6 sprues plus connectors so it looks like they are pricing by number of sprues in the box and the Pathfinder one might having some licensing added as well? Sprues are the same size whether it’s full wall or half wall they just get more half walls and door parts on it plus some customisation bits. The contents listed for abomination vaults doesn’t add up though 21 customisation bits isn’t divisible by 6 and I count 4 half walls per sprue (24) but they list 30 unless they count the pillar as a wall.

Quick image from Facebook - with the Ghosts sprue and Phoenix done that should be everything tooled and ready for production (if not already started) as those are the last 2 on the production list

New update shipping starts 9th May!



D&L 4 preview - looks like it's not Sci-Fi I guess after Rampart they don't see that market as being as big as fantasy. They figured out the trees then and some hills.

It is called Encounters, and it's going to be focused on the great outdoors. Here's the first teaser of our next project.

If they can do good trees and hills I'm certainly interested in some. Who knows how much crazy extra content we'll see in this upcoming campaign.

I see the ground in the photo is gridded. I wonder if it'll be cardboard tiles for outside environements, or if we'll see hard plastic dirt floors and hallways?

Sad for no sci-fi

But I'll play 50€ for a literal crate of plastic trees

These upcoming packs were more what I was hoping from Bones 6 so they're something I'm interested in.

The grided floor can be lots of things as it's the standard for RPGs who these are targeted at. Paper, neoprene, tiles. They don't look plastic at all as it's clearly a printed on detail.

They used a custom mat to show off Rampart 3 but didn’t sell it so this might just be some graphic they had handy to use as a background.

Relooking at the image posted and the while scene is just a render. None of that is real.

Well, so far D&L has definitely delivered volume for money.

I will admit I am very surprised to see another Fantasy D&L over a Sci-Fi focused one. The latest Rampart campaign was underwhelming so was expecting them to have saved stuff for D&L 4. Looks like I was wrong again.

Since D&L is RPG focused it makes sense especially with them wanting to do encounter packs.

Steamforged has done pretty well with their 5e compatible encounter boxes (rules, miniatures and battlemap) and Archon being able to add in terrain can make their stuff be pretty popular if they follow a similar setup.

They started with the smaller townsfolk pledges but seem to be ramping up now.

I'm really looking forward to seeing this arrive, there are just so many things I want to do with these pieces.

looking good,

Shame the miniatures are all so tiny, but aside from that it looks good.

They'll work for Turnip28, not much else.

Looks like they will work fine for Frostgrave and similar 28mm games.

Might as well keep this thread going than start a new one so I’ve renamed it.

There wolf!

Smaller than I would like. Which other miniature lines were known to be on the small side? I hear Perry miniatures are similar to Archon, but Perry is historical and I don't have their mini's.

Filip Rusin: "From left: Games Workshop, Reaper Bones, Wizkids nolzurs, Perry miniatures and 3d print in 28mm scale. Also theres some weapon option for gnolls.
