An Indiegogo fixed funding campaign (the good sort)

Last year, I [Yann Hoarau sculptor for Chtulhu Wars, Mantic, Riverhorse and Pendraken] sculpted a lot of miniatures, for an Evil force for any Fantasy setting, and already paid for a Master Mould. I've done conversions from this first batch.

I now need your help to bring the range into production. (And pay the sculptor aka myself !)

We'll be able to have an extensive range of Fantasy villains for our big games. I know some may even want to use them for skirmish (you fool) ! This will includes infantry, heavy cavalry and monsters. I already have standards and musicians done. If the campaign is successful, I'll throw some more miniatures into the deal (Chariots, Sorcerers, Monstrous mounts...) and variations on already sculpted references (Armoured Trolls, more infantry...).

As you can see I've set the goal of the campaign at 1500€ (Fixed Funding) : I try to do everything by myself, to keep the costs down, but I'm using the expertise of the oldest 10mm miniatures foundry (they are based in the UK) to ensure that casting goes smoothly (and professionally). I'll keep packaging to the minimum, to bring all the money (and the work) into the miniatures.

Wow these guys are quality. I have never done any kind of funding campaign but these sculpts might change that. I'm finding 10 and 15 mm stuff much more attractive in the days of my GW hangover.

Any chance you would make some Heroic/ Good men to oppose them?

Hi,
This campaign is focused on one army.
I have more units types in my drawers.

But, who knows, if this one goes smoothly, I can't see why the range couldn't extend more.

Cheers,
Yann

Good to see you over here, and hope the campaign goes well for you

(and I was very impressed by your Cthulhu Wars work)

Thank you so much Orlando.

First update :

Brent Spivey from Bombshell Games decided to add a FREE digital copy of his mass battle fantasy rules MAYHEM to every backers of the Evil Men.
Once the campaign ends, you'll receive a code for Wargame Vault to retrieve your free digital copy of the rules.
Brent confirmed that, even if the campaign isn't funded, he will give these copies to all contributors for FREE.

Some update :

Now 50% funded

new perks including the free rule set have been added

I added some news on the campaign.

Here is a new concept :

And the WIP :

A few more bits

The Special Dark Herald Miniature available as an add on to bloggers who mention the campaign, so if you qualify



"If you have a miniature blog, and if you write an article about this campaign, I'll offer you (yes, offer) a miniature on horse to command your army. (You'll need to choose a perk to receive this special Blogger Mini)." (you do need to pledge to get the mini, as I'm just posting about it, for example, I can't just ask for one)

also now available to add on

Soft vinyl magnetised bases



and some sad news

Yann Hoarau posted an announcement 5 hours ago

"Yesterday, someone dear to my heart died suddenly.

It won't compromise the project, I still have more concepts and minis to unveil but for a couple of days I may be unreachable.

Cheers,

Yann"

The campaign is now funded and there are 7 days left.

Some more previews of what's coming :

The armoured trolls are available.
And this one too :

There are only 3 days left in the campaign to get in on the deals and the newly added miniatures! There are quite a few interesting new concepts shown as well. Like...
