The Little Soldier Company is currently on Kickstarter with slightly different sports miniatures.
Medball – Football players for medieval games!
A set of football sculptures to enhance your medieval world.
In medieval times the thought of playing a game where you kicked a ball might not have been on many people’s minds, but that’s not to say it couldn’t have happened… so we need Medball! The figures are designed to be used with any of the many miniature football rules out there.
Henry’s Heroes!
Edward’s eagles!
The miniatures are designed by the wonderful Martin Buck. The original idea was to have separate heads so their sprues could be supplied with torsos allowing for a great deal of individualism between teams…after putting together the first few master casting sets I remember, in the late 1990s 70, there were a number of fantasy ranges of Citadel Miniatures that were produced with variant heads on a small selection of bodies…it was a great idea and very popular. I sent master casting sets to Martin and he toiled late into the night and we ended up with nearly 60 variations! Now it’s not certain that all variants will be produced, it all depends on how popular the Kickstarter is and they will be announced as updates also allow for the journey into our journey. At a minimum there will be two variations of each Medball miniature.
The rewards for the thumbnails are grouped as above… all are scaled to the popular 28mm size although they vary in height as seen… If you want more pledges, simply add the extra amount to your pledge. For multiple team pledges, the minimum pledge is £80 for two teams. Any questions, send me a message…
Fouls are a common occurrence!
Please note all miniatures are supplied unpainted and cast in white metal… this contains lead so should be handled with care and not given to children under 14 years of age. Some cleaning using a hobby knife and/or file may also be required.
Examples of variations … the front left is the original sculpture.
Casting will be completed by Peter Brown of ‘The Moldmaker’ in Nottingham main belt…
The cost of shipping has increased a lot recently, especially to the United States of America and Europe. I will charge shipping at cost – you can check overseas costs here; https://www.postoffice.co.uk/mail – and will invoice via PayPal once we are close to fulfilling (UK Signed-In 2nd Class is currently £4.45). Please also note that, following the UK’s departure from the European Union on 1 January 2021, there may be VAT and/or customs charges added by the relevant postal authorities.
The campaign is not funded yet and will last 20 days.
