I miss his green stuff sculpting, but times change. 17 days left to pledge.

Backed.

I'm glad Tre moved away from Multipart which these were originally going to be. I have zero desire to ever put together a metal mini again let alone multipart ones. Loved his old set that was aesthetically but I almost gave up halfway through.

Sadly I think he's done with STLs as well as the only set he had up didn't sell well but I don't know how many people buy full priced STLs with how cheap Patron is. Makes it hard to just live off of digital only unless you're farming all the sculpting out to Asia and Eastern Europe for cheap and pumping out massive amounts of crap for $10/mo

I think he should have led with some more out there sculpts rather than the hordesmen.

Seems like some version of the hordesmen has basically been in every Kickstarter he has run.

I'll back if the Ape-men or something less generic show up.

I would love if he started sculpting Blood Bowl teams cast in metal. I would happily throw money at 16 uniquely posed minis at his digital sculpting level.

The archers are a new. he's not done a design similar to them before. But I would have also liked to see more. I remember at Reapercon like 10 years ago Tre showing off a bunch of sculpts for this line but he disliked all of them and never didn't anything with them.

I vaguely remember seeing, and liking, those. Shame he didn't. Hopefully he puts some version of them out eventually.

I hope you are wrong, but I suspect you aren't. It is definitely a difficult way to get income as an individual sculptor.

Thanks for posting this!

Yep the STL thing is just not something that i think works for me professionally.

And I do have a lot of very unique ideas for figures and works in progress of those ideas for this setting / game. Mutants, Lizardmen, Beast men, ape men, amazons, revenants, hoplites and some weirder stuff as well. This is what i have wanted to make since before the first KS I ran in 2012. Genuinely this is the project i wanted to make before even my Norse and Medieval stuff. I have just always hesitated to produce them for fear they would not succeed commercially.

The hordesmen are sort of the generic core troops of the world so I figured it best to get them out there first and follow them up with the other more unique stuff second. But all of that unique stuff IS coming. Rest assured of that. Especially now that the Hordesmen are funded.

I am very interested to see what else you come up with, not a lot of sculptors are getting their stuff cast in white metal. Really do like the Hordesmen sculpts a lot.

While probably a bit out of what you have planned for future releases, and thought into making versions of the sculpts without weapons, to make equipping them with something else, or using them for other games like Blood Bowl easier? I have a good feeling the very active global Blood Bowl community would lose it over sculpts of this quality cast in metal.

I myself would throw money at a not-Blood Bowl Kickstarter by Tre.

But, back to Barbaria. Is this going to have a tie in skirmish ruleset in the future, or is this going to be a series of minis the player just uses for any ruleset they want?

Tre,
I enjoyed your previous work and I have a number of your sculpts mixed into my fantasy medieval army. Are these hordesmen and archer going to be similar size to your older casts or more like ‘heroic’ 28mm? Could you show how tall in mm are a couple of the casts will be?
