We're creating a line of flat plastic miniatures, similar in scope to the pathfinder cardboard pawns - they're cheaper miniatures that can supplement your normal miniatures, and even work alongside cardboard pawns, but they're printed (double sided) on clear plastic.
Here are Prototypes
Here's our sketchbook with some really cool unfinished stuff
A pinterest collection of all our completed pieces
And our patreon page if you're interested in supporting us to create new art
A kickstarter will come in time, but we need to lock on a good plastic supplier and make final prototypes that were comfortable with. In the mean time, we appreciate all the support we can get making the new art, almost all of which goes to the artist herself so she can continue working during this transition period.
We expect to release between 4 and 13 "themes" with 62 pieces each, with an entire theme pack costing $20 (domestic shipping included), with a "you get everything" pledge of $100 (which could net you upwards of 800 miniatures with stretch goal unlocks of different themes, bringing your total per piece down below $0.13 cents each, cheaper than cardboard pawns) we'll also be making unique art for every piece, with a set or two of "horde monsters" in each theme, 4-6 of the same basic type of monster (say, 6 zombies) but each being distinctly different so you can tell which monster is which at a glance.
Any and all contributions on our patreon will be credited toward the KS, plus net you extra benefits such as digital copies of the tokens asap and first-production runs of the miniatures themselves.
This is some good stuff, mate. More "detail" than the average Reaper bones miniature :)
Intriguing. :)
Just how thick is the plastic which is to be used?
The thickness of the plastic is exactly what our current hangup is. Coated, printable, transparent plastic is normally only available in 10mils, which is fairly thin. They're acceptable, they stand up, and with a curved base to grip them they're decent. These are shown in the prototypes, but I'd like them to be thicker.
I have a 24mil transparent plastic prototype (uncoated - no printed image) that I think "feels" like the perfect mini. Its firm, flexes a bit but is strong, etc. To have a special order of plastic coated at 24mil thickness, we need to order like 300,000 sheets of plastic from the manufacturer.
So were still looking for plastic options from various sources, and it's likely we'll launch with whatever plastic options we have available, with the "ideal" plastic as a very high stretch reward.
I´ll definately watch this.
Flexible plastic might be quite ok i think, that way it shouldn´t break so easy?
