A new tier is approaching: The Adventurer.
Hello Everyone,
We're embarking on an exciting journey with a new RPG tier for our Patreon, named "The Adventurer."
Many of you might recognize the sculptor we're collaborating with, as his portfolio includes work on notable projects such as Zombicide: Black Plague and A Song of Ice and Fire: Tactics. We'll formally introduce him to you a bit later.
He brings with him the assurance that the quality of work will meet the high standards you've come to expect from us.
I'm inviting you to have a say in the kits we're going to develop for this adventure. The concept is to offer an affordable tier, priced around 5 euros, that will feature a selection of miniatures. Here's where it gets interesting: if the miniatures are all unique, we'll include 5. However, if we decide to incorporate some reposes, especially in the case of monster-type figures, the number could increase. This approach is designed to give us a modest start, enabling us to expand gradually, much like our army section has evolved over time.
With this goal in mind, I encourage you to submit your ideas for the sets you'd love to see. Feel free to delve into details as much as you wish.
Based on your proposals, those garnering the most likes will be shortlisted by me. I will then add a few of our own picks into the mix. This selection will shape the poll for the first three months' releases.
We're genuinely thrilled about this new chapter and eagerly await your inventive proposals.

How about the Black Knight or a Templar knight on horse and on foot with small retinue, such as squire, huntsman, cook, and groom for the horse? Cf. Luke Johnson's comment.
It would be very cool to see RPG named characters from various factions in the world setting you've made; including for your existing Armies. So you could have an adventuring party and one is a "Knight of the Sun" with a name etc... Which gives value for the RPG player and for the Wargamer as the Wargamer can choose to use that 1 character as a leader or just unique pose for their Knights of the Sun. Another thought is alternates. You could have a hero on foot; fighting pose; mage pose; on horseback; on mythical mount back etc... So whilst it might be 1 character, it comes with a bunch of options. Ideal for an RPG player for their player character to have variety and choice ni their adventuring. Eg (and picking on the knights theme because its fresh in my mind); you could have a Knight on foot; Knight unarmoured/lightly armoured (eg at camp); Knight on horseback; knight on mythic. With perhaps a couple of weapon arms (eg lance, sword, mace).
fantasy representations of various notable historical medieval characters such as Baldwin the King of Jerusalem, the black prince or Richard the lionheart. Also additional figures from arthurian legend, along with a questing beast.
As long as there is an “all in” tier option that allows us to get same content you’ve been doing + the new stuff at a slight discount, I’m happy. Always neat to see an artist growing and successful!
A warband builder of sorts with lots of interchangeable wargear options but various races not just generic humans of the empire.
Legend of the 5 Rings?
Norse goddess Freya and her cat chariot! Perhaps she's an npc helping hero's to defend against the Icelandic Jolakottur - if you wanted to bunch the cats in one release
A monster - the Icelandic Yule Cat - Jólaköttur! It's a giant cat that eats people! Cat lovers would love this
I love these ideas, David!
A bushranger outlaw gang based on the Australian Ned Kelly gang! Famous for their distinctive armour - http://garypatton.net/history-of-australia/ned-kelly-gang/
Imo the most important question is will it be the same scale / proportions of your other fantasy miniatures. So they can mix perfectly. I hope so, otherwise I don't see the attraction to it. Also a bit of a shame that it will not include mini's for your current armies. So much characters that can be added.
As a DM, I think it makes a lot of sense to design specific monster encounters, since a lot of people will have their player character models already. I also greatly enjoy your unit filler (the amphora, squires, etc.) so something that incorporates small terrain would be awesome. Something like an ambushing party of hobgoblins: a bruiser captain, mage with staff, long range bow/crossbow sniper, and two trappers with net weapons. That pack would have a hunter's blind terrain to show places with pit traps or camouflage, for example.
thank you very much, this is exactly the kind of comment we need :)
The 3 musquetaires, and Milady. That makes 5:-)
These are initial sets, and additional volumes can be created if needed and if the project proves to be interesting.
Cortes and his men, vs Inca warrior
Egyptian priest amd their now alive mummy
An ancient greek hero with his warband (maybe fighting a medusa for example?).
Don't ask me :). Propose and then the votes will decide. But with more security. I like it :)
A Vampire lord and accolites court that could receive the heroes to plot adventures as master or villain
Oh, you've got someone really good! I had just backed, Tactics. Those Romano-Byzantine/Gothic-Armor-Hybrids were such great sculpts. I'm really hyped for this!
King and it's Royal Guard as npc's that gives your party some quest or as final boss to defeat
Samurai with the Ghost of Tsushima and Mongol warriors would be nice, as well as some Oni and Yokai monsters for a stand alone sneak and assassinate game 😎
Will there be any option for an all in tier? I would say monsters to add to armies you have done would be very cool or some different styles. I'd hope they fit in with what you have done already or become a new game in itself... Giants, random monsters etc.
The idea is that it will not be anything related to the army games we are currently working on. The samurai range you propose fits very well with what we are looking for. And yes, of course, there will be an option for you to access all the content.
A witchhunter party, 3 hunters and a pet and one hag that they hunt
