Title: (KS) Burrows & Badgers: FreeLances - Now Live
Post by: Lovejoy on September 16, 2015, 07:22:55 PM
Edit: the KS is now live. Link (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/oathsworn/burrows-and-badgers-freelances-anthro-animal-minia)

We've got a new Kickstarter project beginning next Monday to add new figures to our Burrows and Badgers range, so I thought I'd preview three of the new sculpts here:

Hope you like them! I'll post some more pics over the next couple of days.

cheers

Thanks guys! I'm a bit of a fan of the otter, I must admit... I'm tempted to do a load of different Landsknecht style animals now. A little mouse with a greatsword sounds like fun. :D

They are BEAUTIFULLY sculpted & VERY IMAGINATIVE!...FINE additions to the Anthropomorphic Folk. GREAT WORK!

I'll be backing you again, nothing but great experiences on all your other KS campaigns.

Can I urge you to follow up on the landsknecht theme? A whole faction of animal adventurers
in slashed sleeves will look superb.

Regards

Jim

The otter sold it to me.  I was going to be a good girl and get some other stuff painted first, but I NEED that otter.



Who am I kidding?  I would have backed it anyway;I love anthropomorphic critters!

I for one would be less inclined to buy if the landsknecht style route is taken.

In my mind that is more than a little "later" in period/style than your B&B KS minis - dont really see it blending in with the first twenty figs you did.

My .02 Lupins, of course...

The other two Oathsworn Kickstarters I took part in worked effortlessly and the models are brilliant; and that otter! Grand!  8) 8) 8) 8)

Thanks everyone! I'm glad you like them! :)

Pacarat, I know what you mean about the 'later' style; the first set was more 'medieval fantasy' I guess. Most of these are too, with the exception of the otter and a lady fox, plus I guess the travellers set with are more 'culturally' dressed.

I just like the idea of different regions and different levels of society having different dress styles, but still mixing a bit of historical inspiration with the fantasy.

I'll post some more pics later...

cheers
Michael

Thanks guys!

I like these! Is there any chance of a wombat?

Hmm, I'm not sure... we're maintaining some size differences between the species, so a shrew is about 18mm tall, up to a badger at about 50mm. A wombat is a good 30 to 40% bigger than a badger, so I think it would be to big to easily cast in metal. I'll have a think about it.

Anyway, in the meantime, I just thought I'd post another three pics of new sculpts for you to have a look at...

A sparrow, a pug and another of the travellers - this time a Hermann's Tortoise:

I find myself wanting a warband of these now. For the fairy tale feel. Not that I need anymore projects  ::)

That tortoise can form a testudo all On his own, my favourite so far

Awesome.

But "Who killed Cock Robin?"
"I said the Sparrow, with my bow and arrow"

So that sparrow should be an archer.

Unless he's actually a finch or similar.
Maybe a blue-tit (a blue bonnet would suit the Scottish garb) :~}

Ah, I didn't consider the size issue. I'm just a fan of wombats.

I like Rufuss the dog though!

Thanks everyone!

Gary, Glynis, or Alasdair (I know it's one of you...) I'll have to try a sparrow archer now; it'll be a challenge doing a firing pose with wings... and I love a challenge!

...Not that I need anymore projects  ::)
Nobody needs any more projects... but somehow there's always another project! :D

But landsknechts are great looking figures.

Although I would have expected the Otterman to be a Janissary....:~}

Thanks Van! and yeah, there's a lot of minis... I think I got a bit carried away!  :D

Still, we're funded now; so I have to start sculpting some more this morning; just starting to bend up the armature wire now!

They are starting to grow on me ( usually a bad sign... for my wallet  ;) ).
Favs are the Foxy assassin and the Beagle tracker, although the Pug bounty hunter and the Mouse maid are pretty good too.
