For the final campaign of 2025 I am back on Kickstarter with season 8 of Black Crab Miniatures. I have had a extremely busy year on Kickstarter but I could not resist fitting in one last project as 2026 looms!

With so many tiny Homunculi roaming the world, I am often asked "where are the alchemists, witches and warlocks, necromancers and wanderers that build, control and perpetuate this swarm of mischievous servants?" Well here they are, along with such characters we also have various untrustworthy vagabonds and mysterious folk. Some say to lock your doors when such characters arrive, others say they are the heroes we have been waiting for...

Below we have a new set of ten sculpts for your tabletops. Each, as ever, has been hand sculpted and are presented to you here as such. No AI, no digital programs, just putty, clay and a steady hand. I love that you can see tool marks, tiny flecks and all the touches that you would expect of hand made miniatures.

Please note, as Kickstarter lists rewards in ascending order by price, these new Black Crab sets will appear towards the bottom of the reward list:

Witches, Wanderers & False Prophets
Hell Demon - Mini Diorama
Black Crab 8 - Road to Hell













In addition to the new set of minis I am working on a sculpt that will become a mini diorama. This mini diorama set will include one towering (75mm approximately) Demon with a cluster of lost human souls (approximately 5) accompanying him. This miniature is presented as concept art and as a work in progress only during this campaign. I feel I have built up a long track record of delivering quality miniatures and not letting backers down and so you can back the project with confidence, knowing that I will produce a real centrepiece mini for your collection.

Both the Hell Demon Diorama and the Witches, Wanderers & False Prophets are available to back individually, but I am offering a Black Crab 8 - ROAD TO HELL combo of the 2 at the special price of £100, saving you over 10%.

Thanks for the kind words everyone. Backers will have already seen the Hell Demon presented as a work in progress, during the campaign I have been steadily working away on the mini diorama and wanted to take the chance to show off how far I have gotten with it.


Here is a little montage of the sculpt so far. The demon itself is complete, along with lit parasite creature on it's head. I have also finished 3 of the 5 lost souls. These guys stand at 28mm tall, showing how colossal the Demon is.
The campaign is still running if you are tempted to jump on board.

I'm very pleased to announce that I have completed the Hell Demon Mini Diorama for this campaign.#


There is still time to pledge, thanks so much for all the support.

That's a great set of sculpts! Filled with just the sort of grimy character I appreciate.
