Militia Miniatures - Coming soon to Kickstarter...

[Leon Minibits]

I hope this is the right place for this, it's not quite 'Commercial' just yet!



PART ONE

Bennett stormed into the abandoned house, flinging the door open with such force that it bounced back off the wall and almost struck him in the face.  Further angered by the doors unwillingness to play fair, he grabbed hold of it again and slammed it shut.  ‘Easy there big guy!’ came an amused voice from behind a computer screen on the other side of the room.
 
‘When I want your opinion Strike, I'll give it to you.’ grumbled Bennett, removing his sodden poncho and throwing it onto a nearby table.  He wandered over to the burning fire to warm up, disturbing another man from his reading.
 
‘Any news then?’ asked Andersen, placing his book down on the table.
 
‘Nah’, he replied, rubbing his hands together in front of the dancing flames, allowing the warmth to restore feeling to his fingers, ‘Ghost's still out there waiting for them to return.’
 
‘Not to worry, as soon as they've got the intel they'll be back.  Then we can get on with the job.’
 
The big man sighed and sat down on a nearby chair.  ‘I'm sick of the rain.  Everywhere we go, it rains.  And not just normal rainy rain, it's big fat rain, every single time.  What's the deal with that?’
 
‘It's that big bald head of yours’, offered Strike, ‘Well known fact that rain is naturally attracted to dense, flat surfaces...’
 
Bennett stared over at the younger man, a slight look of confusion on his face.  ‘But I was wearing a hat...’

You're in the right place, this is 'period specific'.

Good luck with this.

In case anyone else was wondering about scale and subject matter, it's "a range of 28mm modern mercenaries" according to the website, which otherwise repeats the OP.

It looks like there's at least 10 mercenary figures based on the silhouettes shown on the Faceparty page (which you can see without being on Faceplotation, which I don't like, as I'm sure many of you don't  )

Thanks for the comments, much appreciated.  Can I ask a quick question, can everyone see the image in my original post?  It doesn't seem to be appearing on one of the other forums I posted on, but it's there for me?

If you mean the KS silhouette banner for 'Militia Miniatures', then yes it's there... otherwise no.

Yep, that's the one, thanks for that!  We'll have pics of the figures up on the Kickstarter when it launches.

I don't recall seeing the banner first time I looked but I can see it now.
I was also very remiss on not wishing you the best of luck with this,  especially since you are literally 5 minutes down the road from me!

Thanks for the reply, you're always welcome to come visit if you're that close!  We're at the unit most days of the week, usually from 9am until around midnight.

Good luck with your new venture.

Who are you using as a sculptor?

Thanks for the reply, these have been sculpted by Faron Betchley out of the US.  He's done a lot of work for Splintered Light and Crossover Miniatures previously and he's done a cracking job on these sculpts for us.

Is your workshop actually in Eston or are you in the industrial estate/business Park further down?

We're down on Bolckow Industrial Estate, just off the A66 near Teesport.  If you let us know in advance when you're planning on coming down, we'll have a sweep round and make the place look respectable!

Indeed. If the silhouettes resemble the miniatures closely they are a bit to 'static' for me.

Any pics to show about the previous work by the sculptor?
