Gates to Fae open.... The Woods Kickstarter goes live!

Thanks to everyone for their support with Oakbound Games' miniatures, with your help we've just launched the Kickstarter for our first full range of metal roleplaying figures!

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/951486445/folk-from-the-oakbound-woods-28mm-celtic-roleplay

Now you can get on over to the campaign and reward yourself with one or more sets of these quirky little guys, plus artwork, glossy books and the chance to hang out with the BOGGARTS...

Sales pitch aside we're all very excited but the reality is we want to know if anyone else is excited as we are about these weird folkloric minis, so if you are, or you know somebody who is, please point them in the direction of the KS campaign and hopefully we'll get funded and you guys will get your nice lead figures!

Kickstart my art...

Finally The Woods Kickstarter is nearly ready to launch... now I'm sure there are more things to iron out than I'm aware of so far but the plan is to start the campaign on Thursday. Here's the first pic of one of the sets that will be up for grabs:

Merfolk- The Woods Kickstarter preview number 1

Long before the coming of the Fae, other folk walked the mortal realm, folk who came from the depths of the oceans, and their coming brought disaster....

So begins the tale of The Woods, Oakbound Games' Celtci Fantasy board game, and so begins our Kickstarter campaign with this first preview of the figures we're hoping to release through crowd funding during August. Stay tuned for further info!

Back in the green... sculpting for The Woods recommences.

Well, it's been a manic 6 months of commissions, moving house, getting Tripods printed etc. etc. but I've finally had some time to get back to the sculpting table and start work on the greens for Oakbound's celtic faerietale roleplay- The Woods. Here's this week's WIP:



Nuckalevee- the nightmare, flayed man-horse with its terrible, grasping claws.




Big Spriggan, complete with string vest and builder's bum- these bandits inflate when the sun goes down, making them formidable enemies in hours of darkness. Of course, if they don't  make it below ground before sunrise they may find themselves shrunk so badly they cannot move the boulders which seal the entrance to their subterranean hordes.


Huldra- Hardy, viking temptresses which live in the highest, snow-capped peaks of the mountains.





Bucca- sea devils which prowl the inland waterways looking for captives to drag off into the deeps and sacrifice to their watery gods.


 Selkie- shapeshifting mermaids who shed their seal skins to take on beautiful human forms.


Bauchan- one of the friendlier of the Satyric folk.

The kickstarter for these, and all the other Woods miniatures, looks set for August time. News will be posted here, on the Oakbound facebook page and website.
