Tre Manor of Red Box Games (Facebook) is on Kickstarter again with Ulfhildr's Heroes, a fresh batch of Njorn (vikings).

There's 19 almost-complete sculpts to start with and more on the way.
Spoiler:

Besides the production of the minis the campaign is also meant to allow RBG to start moving casting in-house.

The miniatures are 28mm metal, the company is based in the US.

They're still wrapping up delivery for some backers of the last KS, which was a bit of a mess organisation wise. Should be better this time, but typical crowdfunding delays may happen.

I wish CMON would hire him to sculpt minis. His work deserves a medium more amenable for a larger market.

Alph, I was actually just sitting here sketching some designs for that project. It IS still coming. If I am able to set up for in house casting it will happen much faster.

Mymearan, I wish there were as well. :/

I am actually really excited by the idea of your setting up in-house casting (but not mold making) Tre! Seems like a great compromise and will let you adjust to demand for various sculpts instead of having to guess upfront

By the way, I'd messaged you since I'd backed the dwarfs but I know you're snowed under - you can feel free to wait and send me stuff after you've got the in-house operation set up! I'm snowed under myself and might even want to select something entirely different (from what you're currently producing) when the time comes, anyway. I'm 3rd Dimension Gear (3DG) on Kickstarter

That's no problem at all Tre!!! Focus on the campaign and fulfilling folks who are more eager to get their stuff, I am happy to talk about it later

And it goes without saying, but I am also very excited for your secret project when you're ready to launch it

One quick question on sculpts:



They're awesome but could you consider changing the footing if you unlock additional sculpts, so units don't all have a wide stance?

Just wanted to give that point of feedback, but I really love these

I really like the sculpts ( who am I kidding, I like all of Tre's work. But I feel these guys need a bit more variety, they look a bit too uniform. I'd like to see some with aventails that cover the face, some with hoods, maybe a pilfered chainmail coif, maybe a different style helmet or two. Maybe a few with hairstyles that aren't just shoulder length long, and a greater variety in weapons. I'd enjoy more single handed axes, more spears, and more bludgeoning weapons personally. I felt the Dwarves in the last KS felt a lot more individual personally.

I'm not trying to sound critical, as I do really like the sculpts, it's just a personal preference thing for me. Best of luck with funding Tre and I always am looking out for your next project (I'm super excited on the super secret project and would love to see those Netherlings/ Tre monsters!)

I love Tre's work too and have a few of his campaigns and been pleased with the result. Personally though, i want to see him do females more. Perhaps even a fully female warband. And female elves. And dwarves. Halflings. Etc. I just dont often come across good female fogures and i know he can do them well. Kevin at Hasslefree does great work too and i put them both on the same level, but kevin doesnt often do warbands. The hasslefree girls kickstarter did really well though and i think Tre could do just as well.

Thanks Guys!

re the stances..... hahahah i know man I know. I do over use that stance. it just works really well for a variety of reasons. and I like it.

Sabotage, ALWAYS welcome any feedback. I dont ever take anything personally. if there is something I am doing ro not doing I would much rather know than not know.

Greywulf, yep I probably should've done an all female warband. We shall see though. I DO have 6 new halflings sculpted though. I am considering adding them to this KS but I would much rather hodl them back for the next KS or just a straight to store item.

Coming up on the final 24 hours now.



Thorarnr (WIP) is a KS exclusive. He comes free with the higher pledge levels, or can be selected as a regular choice.

Here's the latest pics of the 25 new miniatures:
