Heroines in Sensible Shoes (Female dungeoneers Kickstarter)

[majorsmith]

I'm not really into kickstarters, will these be available after it's over?

[Lovejoy]

Excellent, I love these

Nice figures - and as others have already noticed, Oathsworn does crowdfunding right. 

This is only my second Oathsworn KS, I first backed your Dwarven campaign way back when!

Thank you, thank you and thank you!  

I'm not really into kickstarters, will these be available after it's over?

Normally I'd be saying, yes, provided it funds, but that's already happened, so yes... although they're cheaper on the KS than they will be at retail, for the higher pledge levels anyway...

Anyway, project news... I finished the Bard:



There's a step-by-step update here: Step-by-step linky

And I've got the next four mini's heads done:



You'll note, different face shapes, and a smirk on the gnome... see, I do listen sometimes!

2 have ponytails, one has little bunches, but it's very hard to tell from the photos! The bard I've just finished has a dread-type style, though, so she looks obviously different.
Thank you Van - glad to have you back!
cheers

Had another look and yes, I can see them now, thanks.

Also spotted the bard, very nice.

[Lovejoy]

Very long day sculpting, but I got another one done - Half-orc barbarian with javelin and great-axe:



cheers,
Michael

[HYPERPOWER!]

Jav seems a bit short (or the shaft's too thick for the length). Awesome model otherwise.

Love the bard! I think she'll look even better painted, when the armour details become clear to the eye.

[Lovejoy]

Yep, I agreed on the half-orc, she didn't look right. So I hacked her up a bit, and resculpted...

Last few hours for the project now, so here's some pics you may not have seen yet. Modded half-orc, dragonborn, forest gnome, pregnant lady, monster's nest and an inked metal cast.

Very, very nice! I hope your Kickstarter does well!

[Lovejoy]

Thanks Daniel! It's definitely gone well for us!

One more piccie, my attempt at painting one of them:

[Cubs]

Really nice work all round. Half-Orc looks much better.

[affun]

Welp - I fell in via proxy - Sharing a pledge with a friend of mine. Looking forward to painting a few of these. Should work great for Otherworld, Relicblade, Open Combat and my modified LotR SBG-Mordheim crossover thing I am working on at the moment. What I am trying to say is - Great miniatures and great initiative

[Conquistador]

Despite my better financial judgment, my plans to avoid international postage,  and my goal to get away from larger figures I upped my pledge a few hours ago...

My wife better help me paint some of these or I am doomed to not outliving my lead pile!

I've backed a whole slew of Kickstarters of different shapes and sizes - too many for my own good; some excellent, others less so - but I have to say that my very best experiences came from small manufacturers presenting small ranges of models, and Oathsworn are a case to point. I have backed 4 of their campaigns so far, and they're smooth running and deliver rapidly - and the stuff produced is consistently good. I'd say an Oathsworn KS is as good as buying direct from an online store, with a price advantage and a freeby to boost countering the necessary brief wait for your stuff to arrive (part of the fun, actually), in the case of Oathsworn very rapidly by KS standards. You also get some very interesting updates on techniques used along the way, with oodles of photos, which I really think I should compile in a PPT for continued enjoyment.
These particular KS are definitely a relaxed and very positive experience. 

[Lovejoy]

Thanks everyone! and thanks Van!  we do try...

I'm tempted to gather all the Update tutorials and videos and put them on a website...

[Cyrus the Great]

I backed this one as soon as I found out about it. Females with torches and lanterns and perfect for Frostgrave adventures. I agree about backing some of the smaller KS out there. You get great figures at a good price. In a few days I'll be backing the next Mike Burns Egyptian Miniatures as well. There are some really great miniatures being offered by small businesses and the postage is very reasonable per figure.

[Lovejoy]

Cheers Cyrus!
It's ended now, and it ended well, much better than we expected. So now the real work begins...   
though thankfully, Jo and Pete have to do most of that!
