This is the first figure from my coming line of "Tooth & Sword" Chibi adventure miniatures.
I've had a lot of fun learning to sculpt in this style, it providing a perfect counterpoint to my "Steam & Aether" range in both technique and mood and I've have a great deal of fun developing this menagerie of adventuring animals.
I've been sculpting these figures in the scant spare time I get from commission sculpting since December last year. A great deal of imagination has been put into each figure and a great deal of time in figuring out how to make a range of great looking unique characters that are in almost all cases single part figures.
This character was the first that I sculpted back before Christmas, nominally a Gerbil Ranger, I'll be showing his companions over the next few days before I put the figures up for funding on Kickstarter which I beleive is a popular way to launch a range at the moment ;D

Today I've got a Feline Assassin to show off. I'll be back with more previews next week, have a great weekend everyone.

Today's preview is a Wolf Anti-paladin, I particularly enjoyed sculpting this character.

Any word on timing for this to launch?

Hopefully next week!

Today we have a tuneful Songbird to fulfil your bard requirements.

Those are insanely cute. Nice clean sculpts with good character. Do they scale well with Super Dungeon Explore?

These are pretty neat minis! I especially like the wolf hero. Any chance on a lizard or snake in the pipeline?

I sculpted many of the Impact range, mine are the same scale.

No reptiles this time around but something that will come in the future.

Looking forward to these! Good luck! I can see some of them being real troop-builders!

Awesome, I have almost all of theirs and they are fun sculpts. Glad to see more from you!

Thanks, more to come later!

The world always needs more chibis, good work

Thanks!



Lion Paladin to balance out that nasty wolf today. This will be the only two piece casting,the shield being a separate piece.

And back to the meanies.

I'm simply calling this character the Bat baddie, he's an enigma!

Squirrel Druid to end the week.
I'll be back on Monday with the last preview (for now) and date for KS launch so have a good weekend everyone.
Cheers!

Here's the final preview before the KS launches, I know lots of folk on various fora have been looking forward to seeing him.

I like that definitive time table- maybe after breakfast.

If you're like my brother, breakfast could mean anything within a 12 hour window, dependent upon either when you feel like getting up, or when you actually get around to eating breakfast!

Will keep my eyes peeled. Shame there's no reptiles planned at the moment.

Well, there's so many decisions of a morning! Porridge or dippy-eggs? Walk the dog first or after? One coffee the whole pot?
Don't worry though, I'll be up before noon!

And we're live!

t's my great pleasure to launch the Kickstarter crowdfunding for my new range of figures called "Tooth & Sword". I've been working on these figures since before Christmas in my spare moments from full time commission sculpting. It's been great fun coming up with these figures and I'm really happy that I can finally share them with you. For those of you that don't know, the Meridian Miniatures team consists of just me with a little help from some talented folk providing artwork, graphics and so on. There's no design team or international manufacturing partners, I just want to share the best figures I can with those that really want to own them. To that end I've sculpted all of the figures myself and I'm having the casting handled by some of the UK's best firms, both metal and traditional resin options are provided, no crossing your fingers over novel or unfamiliar materials. This is a modest campaign, I'm not hoping to race through endless "stretch goal" figures but I am hoping to be able to give away all sorts of printed goodies and more should we raise enough to allow me to. Being a one man band I need all the help that I can to promote the campaign so please, if you can, spread the word, share on social media and any forums you frequent.
Many, many thanks.
Andrew

I spy the floppy ears of a pig!

Or not......time will tell!

I think the neutrals are

Mouse .............. Hare/Rabbit

Pig/pug .............. Owl

I will be pledging soon... excellent work on the sculpts so far!

Hi everyone, I've been asked a couple of places about the size of the figures, I don't know how I neglected to include that info in the first place but here's a couple of helpful pictures for you.

(I kept the groups separate to prevent a skirmish from breaking out).





It's been a great first day, we've reached over 30% already in such a short time, thanks so much to everyone that has jumped on board!

Don't forget to tell all your friends, if there's a forum, news feed or related site that you think would want to know about the project then please spread the word. Also note that you can find me on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Meridian-Miniatures/278329682295664 for some reason KS doesn't seem to be able to sync to my page.

Hi everyone! I'm not going to have much free time this weekend so I thought that I would leave you with this preview for the meantime.


He's a Mouse city guard, he could be employed as a fighter or mercenary in many a situation I'm sure. It would be in my best interest in mould costs to keep these neutral figures held back until we reach £4000 so I'll be revealing them as the days pass to drum up further interest.

I'm also working on a couple of "add on" models but they'll probably be staying under wraps until they're ready to show.

I might get chance to pop by and comment over the weekend from time to time but otherwise I'll wish you a good one!

Cheers, Andrew.

I really like what you are doing with this. If you had some troopbuilder packages, I think some of the molds might lend themselves to 3/5 packs if it drove down price per model. The Bat, Cuttlefish and Songbirg, I would be interested in multiples of those.

I do like how they are all good hero arch-types and basically you could get these 12 dudes and be set for pretty much any RPG systems starting classes.

Troop builders would be cool but I think the RPG theme works best, maybe up to encounter/warband level.

Hi everyone, I hope you all had a nice weekend and all the other fathers out there had a pleasant day yesterday.



Today I have a rabbit illusionist for you. She's ready to outwit and beguile any adversaries you might encounter. I've also spent more time working on an add on figure and more today, so I'll have something else to share very soon.

Thanks all.
