As well as running Meridian Miniatures for over 6 years I have been involved in the wider miniatures hobby in my spare time. In fact I have been collecting miniatures for almost 3 decades at this point. This year I am planning to use Kickstarter to help me realise all sorts of Miniatures that I have wanted to own for years. I am able to create them but I need the support of the miniatures community to make this financially viable. The first figure that I have sculpted for this collection is the Biomech Overlord.
This figure stands at roughly 70mm, a towering amalgam of my sci-fi influences. From Lovecraft to Giger to Asian statuary and classic wargaming miniatures. The four armed figure is cast in resin and is supplied with two heads to chose from, an alien mastermind or a Cthulhu inspired visage.

Many thanks

Do you have any scale shots of him next to a 30mm miniature? Without a size reference, he comes across as not that big.

I'd love to have him face off against my Heresylab space inquisitors, but I'm just not sure I can justify spending $GW on him.

That top one looks like the original Rogue Trader era Broodlord/Patriarch. If it was smaller, I might pick up it for nostalgia.

I’ve had a few requests for scale shots and I must admit that like a fool I didn’t get any “proper” pictures before I cut the figure up for casting! I did luckily take a couple of pics for my friend to send via SMS, thankfully I’ve pulled them off of my phone!

Here the big guy is alongside a couple of converted GW figures (originally a Stormcast Eternal/Poxwalker).

Hi everyone, just thought I'd drop by to share a shot of the parts that the figure comes in. Being such a large figure required and cast in resin required the piece to be cut into multiple pieces (this also allows the figure to go into a small package, giving you free postage!). My cutting technique combined with the caster’s expertise means the figure will go together perfectly while giving the converters out there plenty of scope for personalisation!



The project is now funded, thanks to all the Dakkanaughts that have come on board!

I’ve had a couple of comments on forums that the presentation of the figures was too dark. Luckily I took some pictures with a white backdrop before sending it to the casters. Let me know if you prefer the “look” this way.

Just wanted to pop in here and say that I was backed Andrew's last KS, the collaboration with Black Crab Art that brought a trio of grimdark monks/priest/suspicious beings in robes into being, and I was thrilled with everything - the speed of delivery and communication were admirable, and the resin sculpts are top notch. He can get a great product to your door.

Carry on, good luck!

I wish his legs were more in proportion to his arms. He really has a lot of that old school charm, but for the price I kind of need to fall in love completely.

Thanks for the feedback both of you.

48hrs remain now! Sorry to bump and thanks to all who have come on board.
