May be of interest? Some very nice sculpts

The Old Empire, is the new range of miniatures that has been developed by Zenit Miniatures.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/zenitminiatures/the-old-empire

A project focused on classic fantasy, with units that you can use in different wargames but they could also be used in roleplaying games, or for artistic painting. Knights in shining armor, forbidden magic, and fantastic animals. Old Empire was born to meet the needs of our community to unite the classical fantasy with the historicism of other previous ranges of production such as the Namban clan in Kensei. We hope you enjoy them. Join us on this new journey. All miniatures are made of white metal and handcrafted.

I AM A MARINE PLAYER

"Unimaginably ancient xenos artefact somewhere on the planet, hive fleet poised above our heads, hidden 'stealer broods making an early start....and now a bloody Chaos cult crawling out of the woodwork just in case we were bored. Welcome to my world, Ciaphas."
Inquisitor Amberley Vail, Ordo Xenos

"I will admit that some Primachs like Russ or Horus could have a chance against an unarmed 12 year old novice but, a full Battle Sister??!! One to one? In close combat? Perhaps three Primarchs fighting together... but just one Primarch?" da001

Otoh, these have a nice old school vibe to them.
On the other, they seem way too expensive, even above GW prices, compared to what you can get from other companies and/or 3d files.

they look very nice but outside the Flagellants nothing that is not already available in that style from historical ranges

and the Knights don't really fit the theme

Those are nice and forged from METAL , which as we all know is God's own casting medium.

Nothing I really need or want right now but they are nice.

They look very nice! And love that they are metal.

I bought some of the Undead ranges from Zenit previously and they definitely do some lovely sculpts, quite nice realistic proportions (rather than heroic-hands and heads).

I guess, as has been said above, it depends if there is enough of a niche for psuedo-historical, and people wanting to collect an old WHFB army.

Canceled

Zenitminiatures wants to thank you all for your support and for backing this proyect.

After several days trying to make this campaign a success. We have decided to cancel funding and rethink our proyect to make it more atractive.

We think that we can do it better and look to make it more affordable, so we will try to make an effort in this point reducing our cost. Also we have another proyect colaboration soon and we will not want to delay it becouse of this one.

Again, Thank you all! And see you soon!.We want to thank you all for being here with us during this few days. We think that it is time to sit down, take a break and think in the future release. If you have any sugestion leave it in the comments in this message.

The sculpts are ok to good, but you could get actual middlehammer minis for almost the same price, so no wonder this didn't work out.

Practically no playable units in the pledges, since you only get 5 of each unit even at 226€.

Also no relevant size comparison, they look very frail compared to the middlehammer minis they seem to want to fit in with.

The fanatics are good enough to actually sell at 20€ for 5
