Bayonet & Ricochet Miniatures is in the process of creating a table-top war game in a classic fantasy setting. However, we need some help funding this adventure, to help us get to production. One of our
Devs has come up with an idea we'd like to try out.
Some companies use Patreon for subscriptions for monthly 3D printable STL files. Our lead sculptor had an amazing idea during a live stream recently and thought it might be a good idea to try a different method
We would like to not only give you miniatures but, also provide a show. So here is how you can help us out.
We're currently doing live streams here
https://www.twitch.tv/whiskerking of gaming and 3D modeling. Like a Patreon subscription service, we want to offer subscribers STL files for 3D printers, so they can print off miniatures each month for personal use.
We're going to be offering a range of miniatures from terrain, to monsters, sci-fi, and fantasy. Now we're somewhat brand new to streaming and honestly only a small mom-and-pop operation, so we first need followers before we get to subscribers.
If you're interested in checking out our latest stream here of the above miniature being made
https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1021609411 and giving us a follow, it will help us out.
Or current goal is to get to 50 followers and have 4 people chatting so we can gain affiliate status, then we should be able to allow subscribers and thus monthly miniatures for subscribers. As we gain more subscriptions over time we plan to do giveaways, such as Physical Miniatures, Table Top gaming supplies, Computer Games, Graphics Cards, and more. So thank you in advance for checking out our stuff.
The Wargame in development is being designed as historically accurate as possible for a low magic fantasy setting, with the fanfare and panoply of 16th-century war, being a significant and central focus of the wargames style and flavor.
In addition, our goal is to move away from an easy-to-pick-up and play, in favor of complexity, strategies, placement of units, and formations, such as wheeling, and wedge formations.
Our long-term goals in the next few years is to have a Kickstarter and other crowdfunding campaigns released for the game.
This tabletop wargame by Bayonet & Ricochet miniatures will be designed with a rich backstory set in an alternate earth, the factions in the game will be a mash of actual historical groups, such as Britains, Russians, Vikings. The cultures in the game are being named with conventions from dead languages, such as old English, germanic.
As an example, one of the cultures will be called Rus Dane Menn' (or the men who row a play on words of the Rus Vikings) or the Aer Kings (First Kings) in old English/Germanic. Our game
devs are somewhat historians in their own right and have spent a lot of time world-building with a lot of emphasis on the life, and history of the 15th 16th century.
Yes there will be a dash of fantasy in the game. However, The majority of the miniatures will be able to be used by historical if they so chose.
The other central theme of this game is the brutality of the 15th-16th century, and it is our intent to not pull any punches, to make the storied elements of the game as horrific, and visceral as possible.
Additionally, we are attempting to make our line of miniatures multi-pose, instead of monopose and our designs all reflect a commitment to personal creativity, over style. A number of helmets, jousting guards(shields), and more will be available with each Knight and should be able to switch out the horse, torso, and head on each model however we have been unable to make the legs, multi-pose at this time. . We will continue to update sneak previews of our historical like 15-16th century Knights, men at arms, and other miniatures as time allows.
