Title: Heroines in Sensible Shoes 3 - Not every heroine is human. Oathsworn KS.
Post by: Lovejoy on October 30, 2017, 04:14:43 PM

Hi all, we've just launched a new Heroines in Sensible Shoes project, to fund some more female RPG minis. KS Link: LINK (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/oathsworn/heroines-in-sensible-shoes-3-miniatures-for-rpgs)

We've got the first five minis sculpted so far, and we'll be sculpting at least 7 more throughout the project, taking input and suggestions from the backers...

So far, there's a firbolg druid, tabaxi and kenku rogues, a minotaur barbarian, and a hobgoblin eldritch knight.

After consulting with our previous backers, the the most popular suggestions are - another tabaxi, probably either a monk or wizard; a tiefling wizard, and a tiefling paladin; another kenku (probably a magic user of some sort); a dragonborn paladin; a tortle (no ideas on class or equipment yet!); and finally a human barbarian, heavy, powerful build, but not lean. That list's not set in stone though, so if you have any suggestions, please let us know!

The tiefling paladin's almost done - I should have pics of her tomorrow...

cheers
Michael

Thank you!  :D


Another sculpt finished - apologies for the poor photo, the light's terrible here this morning...

Two more minis finished - a kenku / tengu shaman, and a tabaxi... maybe a monk, bard or mage, depending on what you want to do with her; I tried to keep the look as open as possible!

I'm currently busy sculpting the Kitsune; I'm hoping to finish her today, but there's a lot to do...

After the Kitsune, I'll be moving on to the final model of the Dozen; but what will it be?
The voting was close - 17 votes for the Tortle, and 21 votes for the Halfling knight riding a Mastiff.

As I said before, I'm still a bit unsure that I can sculpt the halfling on mastiff properly; so here's the plan; I'll try to do it. If it doesn't work out, I can always switch to the tortle instead!

Now on to the important bit... Freebies!

Jo's been busy sculpting three pieces of dungeon-dressing; coin-bags, a trapdoor, and a pile of books. They're 25mm across, so as to fit the common 1 inch grid that most RPG floorplans use. She's going to cast them in resin, and every backer will get a set added to their Pledge for FREE!

Hope you like them! :)

The poor doggy looks so sad... perhaps the halfling should've invested in mithral armour!  ;)

Full plate in mithril could be a bit expensive, especially when she can't even afford a horse! :D

And I'm not sure how much help the weight-reduction would be; English mastiffs pretty much always look sad...

She needs to loot more dungeons then.  ;D
And that doggy does look a bit sad too. Have you tried providing mithral?  :D

On a more humorous note, it seems that the name of the KS is a misnomer considering a good chunk of the new ones aren't wearing shoes to begin with...

'Heroines in Sensible Hooves / Talons' just didn't sound quite right...  ;)

Into the last few hours now, and all pledges now get a free Halfling Paladin...

(http://oathsworn.net/stuff/hiss3/halfling-paladin.jpg)

So the £40 top Pledge now gets you 13 metal miniatures, and three resin pieces.

We're funded! Thanks to everyone who backed us, gave the project a look, or just suffered my endless spamming over the last fortnight!  :D

I've forgotten to post here - received my stuff a while back.
Lovely miniatures in a lovely little box.

It'll almost be a shame to send them to a cold, lonely death in Felstadt...  :D

Thanks everyone! We're busy packing up the current Burrows & Badgers KS now, after the super-busy weekend at Salute.

I've just realised I haven't sculpted anything in about 3 months...  :o
