Song of Blades: Neuer Kickstarter

In der neuesten Kampagne für das Song of Blades Skirmish-System müssen standhafte Halblinge sich dämonenanbetenden Zwergen stellen, um großes Unheil zu verhindern.

A village of Halfings try to stop evil demon worshiping dwarfs from opening a portal to the Abyss. 28mm pewter miniatures and rules.

Axe and Brimstone is a project to create a new range of 28mm fantasy miniatures representing Demon Possessed Dwarfs and Halflings for the popular ADVANCED SONG of BLADES and HEROES game system. Of course, the miniatures can be used with any game system, including RPGs, or even just collected for the joy of painting them.

AXE and BRIMSTONE is a narrative campaign for you to use these miniatures in ADVANCED SONG of BLADES and HEROES. It will tell the story of the Possessed (a group of evil, demon-worshipping dwarves) that are trying to summon their dark masters to the material world. In order to gather enough magical energies to open the gates to Zo, the region of the Netherwhere (Hell) where the demons are confined, the Possessed must offer a number of innocent souls in sacrifice. And what is more innocent than a village full of peace-loving, land tilling Halfling farmers?

ADVANCED SONG of BLADES and HEROES is the updated incarnation of the award-winningSong of Blades and Heroes miniatures system, which was funded in our previous Kickstarter,Hammer and Forge. With these rules, you can play fantasy skirmishes in any scale, with any models you already own. With an easy to use magic system, an exciting turn sequence, an optional background setting, weapon rules, an open-source point system, and combat mechanics that keep players involved at all times, there is no limit to the epic stories you can create. If you do not already own the rules, you can get them as part of this Kickstarter.

The sculpts for the initial 14 miniatures have been completed. The funds from this Kickstarter will be used for production molds, materials cost and to print the AXE and BRIMSTONE book and game mat. If we exceed our funding goal, we will expand the number of miniatures and scenarios in the campaign.

Die Possessed Dwarves stellen die erste der zwei neuen Banden dar:

The possessed warband contains eight, 28mm scale, pewter miniatures and plastic slot bases.  The miniatures are supplied unpainted and some may require assembly as noted below.

Bei einigen der Modelle sind die Köpfe austauschbar, um die Modelle zu individualisieren oder Dopplungen weniger offensichtlich zu machen:

Ideal for new players and veterans alike. If we get enough funding, we will be able to offer these as pre-printed deck as well.

In diesem Kickstarter wird auch eine 3×3′ Gaming-Matte aus dem allseits beliebten Mousepad-Material angeboten:

Hier die Modelle im Größenvergleich zu denen anderer Hersteller, sowie ein Bild aus der umfangreichen Galerie am Ende der Kickstarter-Seite.

Für alle, die bis zum 1. Oktober mindestens den „Warband“ Pledge-Level wählen, gibt es diesen Pilz-Söldner gratis. Danach wird er als Add-on verfügbar sein.

Bei den bereits verfügbaren Add-Ons sind natürlich Artikel aus den vorhergehenden Song of Blades Kickstarter, „Hammer and Forge“ dabei, z.B. die Zwerge.

Der Kickstarter ist bereits finanziert und das erste Stretch-Goal freigeschaltet, mit dem einer der gedoppelten Possessed-Dwarf-Körper durch ein eigenständiges Sculpt ersetzt wird. Viele weitere Stretch-Goals warten darauf, erreicht zu werden.
Die Kampagne läuft noch 23 Tage.
