Hello,
I started a Kickstarter about Late Medieval Gewalthaufen Miniatures. It contains 135 Heads and 62 Bodies which are interchangable.

You can choose between STL files or physical prints in case you dont have a 3d printer.

Holy hell, this looks interesting!
I'm off to follow the link right away....

These look incredible - well done :o :-*
Unfortunately, as a tech-phobe I'm not digital-printing enabled (;)), and the costs of the physical prints for all the pikemen, all the skirmishers, or all the figures, feel quite high?
With a brand new, unfamiliar product, it may be quite a big ask for people get involved with prices that start at eu. 110.
I wonder if a set containing a smaller selection of printed figures might be a worthwhile option to add? (I'd happily pledge for a small mixed set of pikemen, crossbowmen, handgunners and a selection of helmets, say 15 - 20 figures).
Just a thought.
But you can't please all the people all the time, that's for certain :)
But they look great. I wish you every success with it.

Great looking STLs. I don't have a printer but I shared it with a few friends who do. It might be their thing.

Hi guys,
thanks alot for the intrest, just came home from work.
I had to break off the kickstarter.
i think i made four big mistakes.
first i didnt made any commerical before the kickstarter started
second i didnt painted up miniatures so all the details and folds in the clothes were not able to see.
third i didnt took high quality pictures of induividual miniatures. Only group photos
and fourth mistake was to start it in november after the black friday week and beginning of december where projects on kickstarter are lacking in sucess in general because of holidays.
i worked on the models nearly a year and put very much effort in it. but when it came to represent them i lacked patience.
i will overwork the representation and will start it in february again. I will post updates here frequently :)

Thank you very much in the constructive criticism. that is very useful and exactly what i need. i calculated everything and i decided that is is the lowest rate i go. i calculated time, power, gas, resin, paper towels, isopropanol, protective gear, cleaning utensilities, and postage which was included in the physical pledges. thats why i looks high. but the production cost are not low aswell.
Great looking STLs. I don't have a printer but I shared it with a few friends who do. It might be their thing.
Thank you alot! very much apreciated! :)
I will post updates regulary here. And it will defenatly going to be another go.

Hi guys,
thanks alot for the intrest, just came home from work.

Oh, that's a shame!
But I understand what you're saying. The kickstarter looked good, but it would look even better with closeups of each figure and painted examples! I am perfectly happy to wait til February.
Anyway the figures look great. A good range of dedicated Swiss sculpts is actually a surprising gap in the market - the Foundry ones are looking quite dated now. Sure, you can make pikemen from the Perry plastics and give them Swiss-looking heads, but they don't really have the right sort of armour and clothing, and the metal range that accompanies them is rather limited. So a new range is very welcome!
Personally I would be very interested in getting hold of them and will certainly back it when it goes live again, though my use for them would be more for mixing in with other ranges (mostly Perry) and conversions. The separate heads is a great idea, and WOW, 135 different ones? That's amazing! I'm particularly keen to get lots of new handgunner poses.
Can I ask why they are all completely unarmoured, as far as I can see? No mail or plate in sight.... I'm hoping the answer is that you are planning to do another range of armoured Swiss if this one sells well ; ) I would definitely be much more interested in using them en-masse as they are if half of them were armoured, and them all being in more or less the same clothing is one thing which gives me pause for thought....
I look forward to seeing them back again when you're ready, and please do keep us updated along the way! Some painted examples in this thread will certainly stir up some more interest.

I definitely agree that offering an option for a smaller selection would be a good idea. Even keeping the price per figure the same. I for example would like some pikemen, handgunners and crossbowmen, but to get all three types of physical models I would have to be pledging €185. I'd be much more likely to pledge an appropriate ammount for say, 10 pikemen, 10 crossbowmen and 10 handgunners together. And if I like them, I'd buy more of the range further down the line when they see general release!
Perhaps you could split the figures all up into packs of say 6 figures, and allow people to select which packs they want when they pledge? So for example they can choose the pledge level that gets them 4 packs, and they can request say "pikemen pack 1", "pikeman pack 5", "crossbows pack 2" and "handgunners pack 4".
I imagine most people on this forum would be more interested in the physical models than the STL files, and perhaps if they misunderstood and thought they were only STL files they would pass?

exactly this was my thinking. in the beginning i just sculped them for myself to have an swiss force against my burgundian army.
https://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=128277.0
then i realised that others would be intrested in them aswell.

The separate heads is a great idea, and WOW, 135 different ones? That's amazing! I'm particularly keen to get lots of new handgunner poses.
Yes, indeed. 135 different heads. many of them i sculped with beards and feathers because swiss were famous for them.
And damn i printed the heads like 4-5 times with differen size tweaks, to get the size perfectly right to match with perry plastics.
Can I ask why they are all completely unarmoured, as far as I can see? No mail or plate in sight.... I'm hoping the answer is that you are planning to do another range of armoured Swiss if this one sells well ; ) I would definitely be much more interested in using them en-masse as they are if half of them were armoured, and them all being in more or less the same clothing is one thing which gives me pause for thought....
yes, indeed i plan to sculpt armour part aswell. the second kickstarted i have in mind are pikemen crossbowmen and hundgunners in partly armored and completly armored (more protected, armored and heavy armored handgunners, crossbowmen and of course pike- and billmen.).
this however i want to do not half way, but do it right.. thats why i first concentraded on unarmored vorhut miniatures.
i have many books about armor at home. especially i love the books from tobias capwell (armor of the english knights)
plan in the future is also to sculpt english armor lords in the exact armors they were buried in on the burial sites in the churches.

Perfect!
You should probably make that clear when the kickstarter goes live again, that this is part 1 and the armoured swiss will come next!
-
Just going to say that I, also printer-less, would probably be interested in physical sets of heads and possibly some skirmish packs of full models.

Perfect!

yes, u re right! i was also thinking about that before i started the kickstarter but then decided to keep it short. next time i am gonna take it in.
Thanks Charlie
i hope this work https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/357629791/late-medieval-gewalthaufen (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/357629791/late-medieval-gewalthaufen)
will try. the problem are the xtream shipping coasts. tracked package 30€ and without tracking 20€ from germ any to uk...
but i am sure that some uk based print farms are intrested when the kickstarter goes life

Simon (GulKelan) kindly sent me a sizeable batch of these figures to tempt me into painting a few :D
So I've painted a few, and will now paint quite a few more, because I really like them a lot.
Here's a sample:
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/57/577-281222115536-57705944.jpeg)
You can see more pics of the first batch on my long-running Wars of The Roses thread here:

When I saw the kickstarter pictures, I thought they didn't look good. I was mistaken! Now I see what Captain Blood has done and with proper pictures, I can only say that I was wrong. They look beautiful!
I just saw you cancelled the KS?
If you put up again in the future, or put the stls on sale somewhere else. I will certainly buy them.
Edit: Just read the posts above Captain Blood his beautiful painted mini's. I am in for the february KS!
-
Glad to hear that you like them now. :)
I plan alot more minis for the future...
-
Interested to see where these head and a revival of the Kickstarter. :)
-

You could always before kickstarter sell a couple of mini's on MyMinifactory. So more and more painted mini's are out in the wild. If I hadn't checked out Captain Blood his thread I wouldn't have known how good those mini's actual are.
-
I have not seen this until now. Your figures look very good.
I will follow this with interest.
My Swiss and Burgundians are here.

Funny, i know you pictures from google images. didnt knew you are at lead adventure forum aswell. :D

I suggest that you do a few labourers as they are always useful. This would be a good stretch goal for your Kickstarter.
(https://live.staticflickr.com/7330/8913092431_c67b658d17_h.jpg)
A pack of casualties would also be a useful stretch goal.
(https://live.staticflickr.com/8323/8105107262_60bc77db69_h.jpg)
-
Great ideas. i will put them in as strechgoals!
-
They do look great as others have said. Would they look good in 15mm or even 10mm?
You might want to show some at these scales if they work as I am sure there are lots of people that would like to have these in the smaller scall.

i am not sure.
i think they would work in 15mm but defenatly not for 10mm or smaller. for 10mm the details are way to small for 10mm.
i printed out in the first test run very small heads before i adjusted them to other miniature lines which fit more 28mm. they were about 15mm scale and they turned out good.
ill have to test it. currently i am not able to print at the moment. but i will give it as soon as possible a try.
But again. i think 15mm works but 10mm will defenatly not.
-
Geat thanks will keep and eye out for your Kickstater.
-
Congrats on modeling a very convincing Holbein-esque pike block. To help with the commercial success of your venture I echo the comments to break your release down into more digestible pieces. I would also suggest you consider a release of a less active, advancing pike block as the world of miniature pike blocks is always made up of the advancing upright school vs the lowered attacking school. There is room for both.

I don’t own a resin printer,has anyone got any recommendations for a 3d ‘print farm’i(if that’s the right term?) in the UK for when this Kickstarter goes live?
Thanks

i was thinking about it aswell to do marching poses for the back lines. i will put them in the kickstarter! :)

.
i will defenatly make a pledge called "merchants" so the "print farms" can offer them activly on their websites. i am sure some of them will purchase them to offer the miniatures to their customers.
some i just googled in the uk is:
https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063552124938
or in germany:
https://stronghold-terrain.de/
But you can defenatly also buy the normal stl tier and then ask these print farms to print them for you. in this case you would actively support my work more and i am able to put more time into upcoming releases.
however which of the options will be chosen, its greatly appreciated.
-
some people emailed me and said i should show more of the individual sculpts because they are not well represented in the mass.
these are the first 10 heads (heads nr 1-10) which has ben sculpted and the inspiration i got it from.
these are typical swiss ones...
normally when you see renders of other 3d artists they put the stls in fancy programs and set up perfect lighting settings.
i have not really a clue how to do that and the trial program i played around with and know how to do it, is way to expensive atm. i just want to say that the represantation of these stl files could look much better and proffesional.
but still, i hope you get the idea how they will look when they are just about 6mm tiny tall :D
so i will show in the next days more.
-
They look fantastic - well done :-*
-
Nice, thanks for the close up.
-
The helmets / heads look great!
Edit: Also maybe for the kickstarter some command models. To make beautiful command bases. :-D
-
These a re simply superb :o :o :o - you can count me in as soon as they're available!
-
Thanks alot guys much aprreciated! I should have posted them earlier so people see actually what they will buy. stupid me i guess :D

Edit: Also maybe for the kickstarter some command models. To make beautiful command bases. :-D
I thought about it aswel and came to the conclusion that i will put in armored miniatures in the 2nd kickstarter and because i think commander and bannerbearers are some kind of elite, they would have proper armor, at least partly..
i want to sculpt the armor parts in one go after the first kickstarter is finished because it will be alot of work.
But what i defenatly will sculpt is at least a horn and a drummer musican. At least these two will be included at the upcoming kickstarter.
here are some heads from number 11-49. not in any particular order, i just took fast some screenshots of some. i will post some more the next days.
-
some more...
-
Brilliant work :-* :-* :-*
-
Looking great!
-
Took some more screemshots from the heads 50-70.
The Kickstarter preperations has finished and it goes life on the 1st of february.
-
..
-
Looking very good. Please do let us know when the KS goes live. I am in for sure.
-
Thanks :)
Some helmets from the numbers 70-90.
-
sallets time ;) ... some of them
Hope its allright to spam the thread full. if its to much let me know pls.
-
Hey, the more you spam, the more I am convinced to back when the Kickstarter comes out lol.
-
Will the heads be available separately, and compatible with the Perrys European Mercenaries?
Lovely stuff.
-
I live in Seon - a small village in Switzerland. I am very pleased to see that you have made some Seon helmets. :)

They will fit perfectly together with the whole perry plastic sets.
All the STLs will be only sold as a complete package for 36€ in total. So only all together.

Glad i sculpted them! :)
I worked several years ago in swiss/graubünden. I think thats were the intest of the burgundian wars are coming from..
Beatyful country!
-
Looking great you should spam twice as hard ;)
-
some more spaming :D
-
Are all the heads you have featured going to be available?
-
yes, they will be all included in the upcoming kickstarter. supported and unsupporded. as stl and lys files.
-
Somebody suggested marching Pikemen.
i worked the last two days on 6 marchin poses. These are going to be in the kickstarter as strechgoals.
Still work in Progress!
I combined them with pikes and heads on every second photo so you can see how they would look like assembled.
Hope you like them.
-
...
-
These look great. The advancing pikeman's hand in the first picture seems wrong though.
-
yes true, still wip
-
Looking great! Maybe you could expand on artillery pieces and crews

Looking great! Maybe you could expand on artillery pieces and crews
in the future sure. but after the first kickstarter i want to concentrate first on half armored and heavily armored troops.

Hi guys.
The kickstarter has launched and you can find it due this Link:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/881082498/late-15th-century-medieval-gewalthaufen-0?ref=discovery_category_newest
Hope you like it and will have fun with them.
and one Work in Progress Longowman, of course with interchangeable head option
-
Backed ;)
-
Great stuff. Well done Simon. Hope it goes well for you :)
-
Thank you mates :)
we are nearing us the end of the first 24 hours of this kickstarter.
In addition i made 7 polearm heads for all Backers! These will be able as complete weapons or only the tips/heads to put on the broom bristles. The choice is yours!
So now you can not only make yourself some huge pikeblocks but also polearm units. Polearm armed soldiers formed a substancial part of the pikeblock of the late 15th century. As more time progressed in history, as more Pikes were seen in the Pikeblocks.
I will add more and more polearms during this Kickstarter for free to all Backers of this Kickstarter.
please note that these are still Work in Progress:
-
I have backed it! I am even happier about it now I have seen the pole arm heads as I will want to do bills rater than pikes!
-
Kickstarter looks great. I have no way to currently 3d print anything but will probably still back in some form. Awesome work!
-
I have backed as well.
If you are making polearms and if you are taking requests. Some straightened scythes (war scythes) would be cool. https://collections.royalarmouries.org/object/rac-object-18987
That way they could also be used for a more peasant/militia kind of unit.
-
One more voice for a 15mm option!
Really like what is happening !
-
Thanks for the support guys. currently working on some musicans. (drummer and war horn blower)
I have backed as well.

i planned several scythes aswell, because french armies had alot of them. i just want to say dont worry about the polearm options ;)
that with the pesant milita units is great idea. it fits perfectly to the unarmored miniatures.
One more voice for a 15mm option!
Really like what is happening !
the 15mm downsizing should work defenatly for the miniatures. i just dont think any smaller than that.
-
Great news!
This is me giving a lecture just casually standing with a straightened out scythe. This particular one is from 1848, where danish farmers armed themselves as a response to the outbreak of the first Schleswig war. but the design really has not changed much since medieval times.

crazy to see they stood with this against firearms.
are you from denmark?

Yes and yes. ;)

me too. i need them for my own swiss army, you know... ;)
For those people who support me in the beginning and make the start of this miniature line for the future possible, I want to say thank you and give something exclusive.
These four musican bodies are for all who back this first kickstarter. they will never be again aviable, as stl files to buy after this kickstarter ends. Also not on my upcoming Myminifactory site.
The only way to buy them again is as physical miniatures over the merchants, who backed this first kickstarter aswell.
Please note that the resolution of these four bodies, will be when released, much higher and more detailed. These are still wip until my new computer next week arrives.

Great musicians, a band with some very energetic stage moves!
Simon, have you advertised this on the various facebook wargames pages?

Glad to see the Kickstarter gathering speed, Simon. Well deserved 8)
In case anyone is interested in the miniatures mainly for all those lovely heads, here's a unit of longbows which are all-Perry bodies (kitbashed from across the Perry medieval sets) but fitted with Warsteel heads. As you can see, they're a perfect fit and provide great added variety...

Cool project, I'm in!
-
Glad to see the Kickstarter gathering speed, Simon. Well deserved 8)
Thank you :)
Got still some free stuff which i upload soon ;)
-
Just want to give all backers three casualties for free :)
Hope you like them.
If we reach the casualty strechgoal, i am going to make addition six of them.
I finished 26 Polearms some days ago together with some other stuff, but i cant convert the models at the moment in the quality i want to, to show you them.
My new computer will arrive this week or next week and then i show you all the stuff i worked on.
-
That's great, more casualty figures are always welcome!!!!
-
That's great, more casualty figures are always welcome!!!!
indeed ;)
i made 27 polearm tips and 27 complete polearms. so now we can not only make pike blocks but also polearm units!
-
NICE! :o
-
Excellent additions Simon :-*
-
Will the sockets on the pole arm heads work on the standard wire pikes various companies sell?
-
Outstanding.
-
Thank you guys!
Will the sockets on the pole arm heads work on the standard wire pikes various companies sell?
that is a good question!
i have pretty much from every company wotr miniatures but never bought the wire spears cause i always used the broom bristle method. but i checked the perry metal polearms and bills and they are a bit thicker than the thicker broom bristles.
even the plastic bristles from the broom are not all one diameter and variy from brislte to bristle a bit. some are thicker some are thinner.
however the great thing about 3d printing is that you can always de- or increase the size in the slicer and automaticly the hole increases aswell.
i would check first with a ruler the diameter of the wire and then check in the slicer the size of the hole with the measurement tool.
but i think it will fit overall for the wire if you increase it like 3-4%.
-
indeed ;)

These are great!
I will just shoot an idea. Find a copper electrical wire with the proper gauge and make sockets of the pole arm heads compatible to it. In that way people will just have to go to a hardware store, get some cable, strip it (it takes 2 min) and they can have as pany poles as they wish without having to mail order in those wire spikes.

i finished sculpting the first strechgoal. The kneeling pikemen. instead of the promised 4 i made 6.
and i decided to give the social media strechgoals for free aswell because we not going to reach them.
Hope you like the minis :)
-
Fantastic! Some of the kneeling ones will work quite well with crossbows or handguns too
-
People asked for Banner Bearers and here we go! :)
I made 5 Banner Bearers free for all backers, which can be turned into Pikemen/Billmen aswell:
Plus i made 3 more kneeling posed bodies for Pike- or Billmen. That means not 6 (like showed you in the last update) but in total 9 kneeling pike/billmen will be release after the kickstarter has finished.
If you can and want to, please spread the word of this kickstarter. Thanks alot!
There is going to be a contest for all Kickstarter backers and owners of printed warsteel miniatures. Going to announce it at the end of the kickstarter.
I cant wait to see the miniatures in your projects, dios and armies.

I noticed this akward position and rescupted it to this.
-
The Kickstarter didnt managed to reach the longbow strechgoals.
I was thinking the last days about to release a seperate kickstarter after this, but decided against it.
but you didnt thought i would let my backers go without some bowmen, did you? ;D
Thanks to my new PC its much easier to make better folds in the cloth now. Its like night and day to work with it.
And i recorded also a video with my crappy camera skills :D

So, backers will recieve additional 6 bowmen.
I also want you to show you a youtube review of the minis by the channel Berdysz, which has ben released yesterday.

The kneeling crossbowmen are ready :)
-
I like the kneeling figures. They give interesting possibilities for diorama style bases.
-
Wow, you keep showering us with goodies... And don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining ;)
-
These look excellent, especially interested in the kneeling figures :)
-
Love the longbowmen :-*
Well done Simon.

Just now spotted this thread, and thus the KS. I am sorry you changed your mind about offering a physical option, as I have no 3D printer or immediate plans to obtain one. But I can certainly understand how only offering the files simplified things for you. Best of luck! Lovely figures.

great you like them and no worries. i share soon the merchantments where they offer physical prints.
I worked the last days on the unlocked handgunners, the pre-scaling, pre holing the hands for the unlocked pikemen/bannerbearers and creating the supports (one of the most important and timeconsuming works) for the unlocked and additional miniatures and weapons we unlocked and freed. ;)
