Hi all, Andrew from Meridian Miniatures here. As well as running Meridian Miniatures for the last 6 years I have been involved in the wider miniatures hobby in my spare time. While browsing Instagram I came across the artwork of @blackcrabart and knew that I had to sculpt miniatures based on the amazing pictures that I saw.



 I had such an amazing response when I shared the images online that I decided to set up a modest Kickstarter to fund their production and enable people to get their hands on them. I'd like to thank Moritz @blackcrabart for allowing me to use his artwork, check out the original pictures on the link below.

Thanks for looking!

Ooh, those are creepy, and very wel sculpted

I'm unfamiliar with the artwork, but these would certainly not look out of place in any 40K setting; they're just so dark gothic. I could see them as priests of either an Imperial cult, or as their chaotic counterparts. They would make suitable members of an Inquisitorial retinue, but also as some fantasy based undead cult.

Many applications, and I'm looking forward to seeing what else you might come up with 

+++EDIT+++ I just backed it; let's hope it funds...

Love those, agree with Daeothar they look like they could fit in in both sci-fi and fantasy settings, I think I can find a use for them as background rabble on the Streets of a Star Wars setting

[Jagannath]

I’m stoked on these - backed for two packs so I can convert the second.

[Daeothar]

Aand funded!

That was fast... 

[Mason]

Lovely work, mate.
Great characters!
You have captured the artwork perfectly.

I like the concept art and the sculpts look very well executed, but I can't get past that bone the one guy's holding.  It's just ridiculously huge - not sure even a horse would have a thigh bone that big, and certainly nothing even vaguely human sized.  Just throw all the rest of it off to me, it feels so out of scale.  And that's a shame, because the rest is so good.

It's been love at first sight, I just got on board and backed

Saw that too, but my immediate thought was: turn it into a candle...

Or he's showing a relic from a Primarch's ossuary. (a good thing the unwashed masses don't know it's actually an ogryn skeleton in there, or the whole shrine would be razed to the ground in religiously fueled outrage)

Exactly the kind of imagination that keep this hobby fun!

I've had a few request for scale comparison pics from folk so have a look below.




Thanks!

Fantastic models! Would work perfectly for the free and model agnostic Star Breach sci-fi skirmisher. Fits at least two or three of the twenty factions. Feel free to join and share at the Star Breach Tabletop Game FB group if you’ve got FB! Cheers!
