Barons War: Death & Taxes Kickstarter
Added 2021-03-22 09:31:53 +0000 UTCGood morning all!
A friend of mine (Mr Andy Hobday) is currently running his third Barons War Kickstarter. It went live last night and has been a raging success already, blasting through the funding goal and the first batch of stretch goals.
The range consists of metal miniatures of from the Dark Ages setting of the Barons War in Great Britain (think King John and Robin Hood if you want a reference). If you're a history fan then its well worth checking it out.
"But what has this got to do with us?" I hear you cry! Well, I have sculpted the terrain range for this Kickstarter as pictured below and as well as offering to print it all (in resin, not FDM) for you for around £200, they are also offering the STL bundle. I've designed them all to be printed on a 5.5" resin printer and have kept things as thin or as hollow as is practical to make printing as cheap as possible. the one exception to this is the church - I broke it down as much as I could but without turning it into a crazy jigsaw I couldn't get it small enough for a 5.5", but it prints perfectly well on an 8.9" printer like the E10, X10 Mono, Saturn and others.
One point to note is that the interiors are not detailed as it is intended as tabletop terrain for war games, but if you like the look of this then you can back it here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/hobbers/the-barons-war-3-28mm-medieval-miniatures
Now, on to my next question! Would you guys like me to do something similar here or would you prefer to just stick with the miniatures?
Cheers all!

Misread it as 'Bacon Wars'.... Guess who's just had breakfast ;)

2021-03-28 09:02:46 +0000 UTCGood to see a footsore fan in the midst! :-) I've still got my mortal gods and Barons war stuff here to get painted ready for gaming (one day hopefully in the not too distant future!). Ok, so its a vote for focus on the armies then! :-)

2021-03-26 20:47:00 +0000 UTCCool that you've sculpted the terrain for this; I've been buying Footsore miniatures regularly for years, so have followed the shenanigans of Andy and friends somewhat closely. Well, close enough for my wallet to get burned, at least! I think buildings work well in a Kickstarter format because they'll come out all themed together. I follow a few Patreons which are just terrain, and one or two which are a mix. I usually print the all terrain Patreons each month (3DHexes is spectacular, code2's Drenheim takes about a month to print 2/3 of what he produces because FDM is slow) but almost never print the terrain from the mixture Patreons, instead focusing on the miniatures. For my particular case it's because, yes, I do have too much terrain and too much unpainted terrain - but I can never imagine how many different Kings of War armies is too many.
