[Commercial] Daniel Mersey's "Knights of the Round Table", Kickstarter is LIVE!

[gibby64]

Hey guys, I wanted to announce an amazing project we are working on with Mr. Mersey that will launch next year. This will be a range of true 28mm Arthurian miniatures done in a classical style with historically accurate heraldry and period correct early medieval armor (no plate). Get ready for some serious skirmishes!

[Atheling]

Any hints as to who the sculptor might be please?

[has.been]

Interesting.
Any images to tease us with?

This will be a range of true 28mm Arthurian miniatures done in a classical style with historically accurate heraldry and period correct dark age armor (no plate).

What does "True 28mm" mean? Is that 28mm to top of head or 28mm to the eyes (i.e. 31mm)

[Matakakea]

Will there be a UK/European agent? Postage and customs are a deal killer.

historically accurate heraldry

Heraldry? In sub-Roman Britain?

We will have a UK distributor. Still working through the details.

28mm to the eyes. No scale creep. Should be on par with Footsore's Baron's War range.

Heraldry? In sub-Roman Britain?

True to the oldest manuscripts written about the lore.. following the D’ARMAGNAC ARMORAL.

Heraldry? In sub-Roman Britain?

Might be inline/inspired by the associated works Daniel Mersey has already done for Osprey:

King Arthur: (Myths and Legends)

The Knights of the Round Table: (Myths and Legends)

Absolutely correct.

[Atheling]

Absolutely correct.

Right, so  mix of fantasy elements and historical?

[gibby64]

Correct. Inspiration will be taken directly from his books and he is running the art direction.

That Picture straight out of the King Arthur Myths & Legends for anyone's interest.

Its an excellent King Arthur resource, as also lists films and games based upon King Arthur.

Got them both already

Probably also worth mentioning the Dux Bellorum rules also by Mr Mersey and the first of the Osprey Blue Books wargaming range.


So as you look to be State side based, will there be a UK distributor for the range?

Correct on all accounts! We will have UK and EU distribution... currently working out details.
