Warbands of the cold north 6 : Tre does it again!
« on: February 19, 2018, 07:40:16 PM »
Tre Manor from Red Box Games is running a new kickstarter:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1103158358/warbands-of-the-cold-north-vi-ulfhildrs-heroes/description

This time he goes for Njorns (Viking-like fantasy humans) and as usual his sculpts are absolutely gorgeous.

It's a short running KS: 12 days. The aim is to allow him to buy a casting machine for his business development.

I like a lot of those but I recall folks saying his figs tend to the small side compared to most current ranges. Any confirmation of that?

Is there a specific range you'd want to match them with? There are a lot of size comparisons available both on here and around the wider web, but if you're wondering about something specific I might be able to help out with some snaps.

To make a mainstream comparison, they're fairly close to GW's lotr figures in scale

Yes, most of my fantasy figs are from Reaper's ranges. Altho I recently picked up some Gripping Beast Vikings for a side project, I'd like to field a warband to include in our ASOBH games. It'd be a shame if they all looked anemic compared to the others. "Oh look! Here come Sven's Malnourished Norsemen, trying to get the treasure..."

Can't speak for their Northmen but I can confirm Red Box elves being on the delicate side of things at least - here's one with a few of my Reaper minis:




I really have no idea what I'm doing.

Ah, thanks for that image. Very much appreciated. Nice sculpt but tiny. I wondered if with this KS/these figs, Tre had bumped the sculpt size up a bit to accommodate. I will keep an eye on this campaign, regardless.

his norse aren't that tiny, it is mostly the elves, goblins and dwarves. His norse scale well with a lot of miniatures I have, like confrontation, helldorado, bronze age (he is same height but finer features than these), some reaper (some reaper is a lot bigger and some works perfectly with his, but that is Reaper's all over the place scale).

His stuff also works perfectly with Blood Rage miniatures which made me very happy!

I'd love to see how you make Red Box scale w/ Bronze Age. In my experience, they are on opposite ends of the scale. Any comp pics?

I have not got to my Red Box project yet and don't really do kickstarters if I can help it, but the figs are great, the warband price is better, and I'd love to help Tre get set up as a caster, so I am pretty likely to go in on this one.  :-*

Also, he needs to do an elves KS next.

Upload the pictures somewhere, copy a direct link to the picture and paste said link into your message here in-between the codey bits the circled button here:


gives you, that should do the trick.

Ok, thank you! The attachment uploader wasn't working. Ok here are 2 Red Box Games, 2 Bronze Age, Reaper, Blood Rage and I think a Black Plague miniature. I think the Red Box norse and the Bronze Age work together pretty good, mostly the heads is the difference.

Hmm a wonderful collection of norse barbarian you've got there Madzerker! Just in case, the KS is on its last few hours.
