Title: (Kickstarter) Heresy Lab Witchfire & Sword Citizens of the Empire 4.0
Post by: Grumpy Gnome on February 16, 2021, 09:19:11 AM

I just stumbled onto this Kickstarter. We can not afford to back it right now but they have some great sculpts and thought it might be of interest to some of you fine folks. There are so many kickstarters, it is easy to over look some.

My wife and I particularly like the Winged Hussars.

They do really nice stuff if you like the old world or similar setting s I think.

I have got the warrior nuns from the last KS, excellent models from design and casting quality.

I have painted a few already, but so far did not manage to do some pics.

Whilst not all the sculpts are to my taste my favorite by far is the rat seller from one of their previous kickstarters. I tried to win that sculpt on eBay but sadly it went for more than I was willing to pay.

We have just too many other financial drains at the moment.

What did Shakespeare say about kickstarters? Something about them coming not as single spies but whole battalions?

Never backed any of the previous ones, but finally threw some money at this KS. The sculpts look great and full of character, and I appreciate how, unlike so many companies mimicking GW models (although these clearly have more of their own input, they're obviously meant for Mordheim and fit the established Empire/Kislev/etc. aesthetics), they don't also mimic the current GW prices. 6/7 euros for independent resin models, and only about 4/each when buying a whole warband is rather good. Plus the sheer Hieronymus Boschian madness of the some of the sculpts is great too.

I managed to take a few shots of the warrior nuns  ;)

I'm planning to use them for a Warcry Cities of Sigmar warband...

Brilliant work! My wife is a fan of those sculpts.

Had been planning to convert them from plastic sets as I'm doing that with all the other original warbands, but there aren't many good candidates, and dang, these do look rather nice. And there's a few more days to get them at a KS discount...  ::)

That's a hell of a LOT of very well-sculpted minis. I am impressed, if nothing else.

Anyone else spot the cat lady?  lol ;)

Yeah, nice stuff they've got. Will get me a couple of warbands and add-ons for sure.
