A collection of intricately designed female miniatures from the "Ladies of the Dark Age" series, displayed prominently against a dark, atmospheric background featuring a castle silhouette. The miniatures vary in scale, including 75mm and 32mm, showcasing diverse characters such as warriors and spellcasters, each with unique poses and details. The text highlights "21 UNLOCKED ALTERNATE VERSIONS," emphasizing the variety available in this collection.

Gilmore Studio is preparing to launch its next Kickstarter campaign.

Entitled Ladies of the Dark Age, this new project will showcase more than forty brand-new female miniatures / presupported STLs. These have been designed with not just tabletop gamers in mind, but also painters and collectors; the entire range, therefore is available in both 32mm and 75mm scales.

Three intricately designed female miniatures are displayed on black bases. The central figure features a character with blue hair and tribal attire, adorned with horns and holding glowing blue flames. On the left, a warrior in a form-fitting outfit stands confidently, while on the right, a character in a flowing purple dress is posed dramatically, showcasing detailed facial features and dynamic hair. Each miniature reflects a blend of fantasy elements and characterful design.

The miniatures hit all the classic character classes, with all manner of fighters, magic-users, barbarians et al included in the campaign.

As you might expect for a campaign paying so much reverence to classic fantasy tropes, these miniatures mostly depict the female adventurers in somewhat skimpy / revealing outfits and provocative poses. Regardless, they’re characterful and extremely well sculpted. So, if you like your female fantasy adventurers to have a touch of the cheesecake / Oliva / Frazetta about them, then there’s a lot to like about this forthcoming campaign.

Three female miniatures are displayed, showcasing a variety of designs. On the left, a painted miniature features a warrior in armor with a revealing outfit, holding a sword and shield. The center figure is a gray sculpt of a female fighter with an axe, wearing armor and striking a confident pose. On the right, another gray sculpt depicts a character in a flowing dress, elegantly posed with one hand on her hip. Each miniature is mounted on a circular base, emphasizing their detailed craftsmanship.

Gilmore Studio is the brainchild of the Spanish sculptors and artists, Ivan and Jose. Specialising in collectable fantasy designs, they’ve been producing miniatures since 2019. They have launched several successful Kickstarter campaigns In that time; Ladies of the Dark Ages will be their fifteenth outing.
