(kickstarter) Mushimen Attack!
« on: 29 October 2016, 10:49:24 AM »
Just a heads up for a kickstarter I launched to put some 28mm mushroom men and other fungi creatures into production. I'll add some pics here and a link.

cheers

Iain

Those are some lovely sculpts! Enough variety here to turn them into an entire Dragon Rampant army even! I must ask though is it me or have we seen like 3-4 other mushroom men miniatures beeing kickstarted the past few years? No complaint from me, just thought it was curious. I mean they really are springing up like mushrooms after the rain.

These are pretty damn cool. I may spring for a warband if I can raise the money from selling off other stuff. I love me some mushroom men, though I am starting to have a bit of kickstarter-fatigue.

Cool minis, useful and well-sculpted, but these?



Those are begging for tentacle hentai jokes to be made about them.

I kind of feel like they should be fighting the Quar.

Just gone straight on and backed a warband (one of all the mushroom men packs) - absolutely love them, I've wanted to do a mushroom group for ages (really fun to paint).

Those are amazing.  I'll have to see if I can adjust my KS budget.
This is my boomstick!

Thanks for the comments! Thanks to all the backers who got this funded meaning these will be able to go into production. In the time that remains I'll be making more models to add to the campaign and I hope they'll prove popular additions.

I had some requests for a scale shot with all the figures together to show the relative sizes. Some pics have 28mm figures, Gripping Beast, Copplestone, and a viking I can't remember where from, but all what I would consider in the "normal" size range for 28mm.

I intended the standard size mushimen to be smaller than a human. Even though the small Mushimen come in at 25mm-28mm tall the low shoulders and eyes make them appear like a small foe.

Cheers

Iain

Those shrieker/violet fungi figs are very tempting as base models for alien kitbashing.

Yep they wouldn't look out of place on a pulpy sci-fi planet :)

I have a few new sculpts which will be added to the campaign later today. A second wizard type and a large brute with two-clubs.

Thanks for looking!
