Do you want an army of Nuns to fight your tabletop battles for you?

(What a silly question: Of course you do!)

Not sure on the donkey tho. Silhouette looks a little... heroic proportioned.


A Donkey is a mighty steed, powerful of heart, fierce as the great ocean.

What's wrong with IGG?

I've raised almost £60k through IGG in other campaigns without issue on my end?

Fair enough... maybe we should cancel it and restart with KS?!

Ok I'll switch it off tomorrow and relaunch on KS.

I like this, but I would have liked the proper grimdark version, with boots, and ammo belts, and gear, more. These are just a little too silly for me, but the work is really nice. Good luck!


I've added a stretch goal of ammo pouch / wargear accessories accessories sprues, so you can add on extra gear. Hope that helps. :-)

It's not. And it's actually kind of cool!


Thanks Doc, I'll take that.

I'm happy to say that after one day on Kickstarter, we're 30% of the way towards being funded!

Overnight we've made it past the 40% Funded checkpoint!

This is a meaningless iterative increase in an arbitrary number, as time wends its way towards our ultimate destruction.

We're really excited though, thanks for all the backing!!

We've now passed the 60% mark... there's only a short jump to go now to reach 100%, and then we can start unlocking those Stretch Goals!

Because Little Donkey Cavalry are awesome, that's why!

A big jump in the last 24 hours, we're now 80% funded!!

Getting really close to the line now!!

Are we paying extra for shipping? Only thing holding me from pledging

The pledge levels have an associated small shipping charge depending on your country - you can see it before paying.

Pledged for the mother Teresa with powerfist.

I'd love to get more, especially lasernuns, but hobby funds are tight.

Kinda wish there was a fireteam option with 5 sisters, but I understand why it's the full unit


Thanks for the pledge!!
Check your messages on the KS. ;-)

Other useful Nun variants are planned - depending on how well the funder goes(!). I have had a few requests for semi-armoured Nuns, which might suit your desire there.

Each model matter printed & moulded costs quite a lot of money, so it's best for us to unlock extra model types in stages, so that we know there's enough money in the pot to cover the various costs.

Otherwise for example, we might unlock a bunch of kit types, and if they don't sell, we'd make a two grand loss on the campaign!

I hope the accessories will avalable as an add-on if the stretch-goal is not reached as I find they lack a bit of details (especially a belt).

Thankyou Samko!

I'll ensure they get added to our range in any case, and right now with the speed at which we're taking pledges I'm very confident we'll get them as a freebie.

It's past the funding goal. Reveal your secrets, troublemaker games!


I wouldn't know a secret if it bit me with its comically oversized teeth.

The right arm is glue-on, so weapons choices can vary there yes. Set contents yet to be announced...

Can we get a scale shot if there is a painted print?


I'll actually need to pop into my FLGS and buy a well-known model or something, as I don't have anything particularly mainstream in my collection right now (!) to scale against.

Probably looking at a selection of cruciform lances, a microwave type gun, and a pistol (& sword?) for a Sister Superior.

Awesome. Is the nun mobile going to only be an APC, or are variants planned?


The initial vehicle will be an open-topped armoured vehicle, with a driver, and a gunner with a heavy machinegun.
It would also have passenger capacity for ~5 Sisters.

Other variants are definitely on my agenda, assuming funding goes high enough.

Someone on Facebook just brought up these would make a great imperial Guard detatchments for sisters armies

Sounds fun; I was just going to put them in a bucket, throw them in the air, and shout BANG.

Using them for tabletop wargames sounds more sensible.
