This campaign features 2 lines of miniatures!



"Temple of Serpent" is a brand new collection inspired by the lost civilizations of Amazonia and Mesoamerica. It envisions an utopian enclave hidden so deep in the wilderness that it is considered forbidden territory. The tribe is focused on preserving an ancient magic with the help of gods and dinosaurs. Be the first to explore it!

"Bloodsail Island" is an established line of ruthless ogre pirates. Upon discovering the Temple of Serpent they have became overpowered by the desire to plunder its treasures. They are going to need every hand on deck for this one, so the line is getting a massive extension!

Our products are in 28mm scale and come with square bases. Check pictures at the bottom of our campaign to see the size comparisons. All miniatures are made from high-quality resin that ensures highest details, durability and flexibility.

Some comments are quite surprising, talking about "warnings" about Titanforge games apparently from previous campaigns.

Otherwise, the renders look cool so far and the themes work with each faction. I don't know if it's just me, but I feel like the Pterossus is looking a bit weird, like his head is too big for the rest of the body.

I haven't backed any of their campaigns (mostly down to poor timing for me) but I've bought plenty of their models via retail.

They're pretty spot- on in terms of renders matching sculpt details. Some had cleanup issues, but I wouldn't say they were any more frustrating than stuff from Raging Heroes.

There were delays from what I remember reading, but that seems par the course for Kickstarter.

The biggest gripe I have is their scale is a bit on the smaller side of things. At least for the human stuff- their ogres are nice and beefy (as they should be).

The biggest factor for me naturally is going to be how many dino models we end up seeing.

I wouldn't mind the odd lizard or snake thrown in as well...

There were some shenanigans with their initial mechanical not-Dwarfs KS IIRC, though I don't recall the details.

I would maybe risk going in for a bit anyway since the ladies would make a fantastic Amazons warband for Lustria-based Mordheim campaigns, but unfortunately when these guys say "28mm" I believe they actually mean it, comparisons I've seen suggest they'll look a bit teeny-weeny next to GW models.

I don't know what Titan forge is like these days but when i backed their Metal Beard Kickstarter back in 2014 they had basically no customer service. You would have to consistently e-mail them over and over and wait weeks for the small chance that they would respond. Hopefully they got their gak together over the past few years.

Anyway the Kickstarter is down to its final 24 hours, its almost at $75k and there's still a few of the $90 EB left. they released a scale shot for the amazons too, the model on the right is apparently the size they're going to produce.
