1066: Kickstarter von Pulp Figures
Pulp Figures hat mit 1066 einen Kickstarter für 28mm Metallminiaturen am Start – wenig überraschend geht es um die Epoche der normannischen Invasion Englands.

Das Projekt:
This Kickstarter is the launch of the new 1066 Miniatures that I have been obsessively working on for several years now. It will help to pay for moulding costs and production.
It introduces a new production concept that maximises the variety of heads on most of the figure sets in order to give your armies enormous numbers of individual characters within your ranks. I’ve achieved this by working directly on the figure masters before they are production moulded. While this has been fun for me it has also been huge work! I hope the attention to detail shows!
The line comes initially in two factions: Saxons and Normans. Each faction has a Skirmish pledge level and a full on, ‚I want all the figures Army Pledge‘. Look over the options provided carefully and help me and Crucible Crush put these figures into production. This is your chance to get these new figures at a special Kickstarter exclusive pricing.
Remember, these prices are in Canadian dollars! The Loonie is currently worth roughly .80 $U.S. and .60 £GBP.
Also, whichever pledge amount you make, you will be able to add more regular SKU (stock keeping unit code) 1066 packs to your reward as add-ons. ie. If you chose the Norman Raiders pledge, you can still add 2, 3, or however many more packs to your reward at the favorable ‚backer‘ price of $18 Cdn.
However, if you chose any pledge besides the Destiny of Kings-Pick Your Own, you cannot make substitutes. Our packer would go mad and he has a wife and kids. You can add packs but the core reward must stay consistent.
Please note, this Kickstarter cannot, by its nature, be offered as UK friendly. I’m sorry about that but there is no way for me to prepare the masters again in time. That would be impossible within our fulfilment time. However, North Star Military Figures will eventually have this range at the regular retail price.
This project is available to UK and EU backers but your customs may charge duty at the border.

Ich bin ziemlich begeistert und dabei. Mag Zinn lieber als Plastik und das damit einhergehende Zusammenbauen. Und die Angelsachsen sind genial…oder sind die Zivilisten noch besser…oder die normannischen Helden?
Einerseits ist ein größeres Angebot natürlich immer schön, aber ich sehe hier wenig, was z.B. Footsore in hübscherer Form anbieten würde (Die generellen Proportionen und die Pferde finde ich dort unter anderem gelungener). Und dann kommen ja demnächst noch die Plastiknormannen von Victrix…
Zinn ist toll, die Umsetzung aber ziemlich schlimm. Die merkwürdigen Posen, Proportionen und Gesichter sind sehr schräg. Warum sind die Schilde so dick? Es gibt bereits ein tolles Angebot für Sachsen und Normannen in Zinn. Da hätte sich dieser Modelleur mal bei der Konkurrenz etwas abschauen können. Hat er aber nicht. Schade.
