Ketil Trout Miniatures' Famhairean Now in its Final Fortnight

Paul L Mathews21st Nov 2025

A group of intricately detailed miniatures inspired by Celtic mythology is displayed in front of a rustic, weathered structure covered in moss and foliage. The miniatures, depicting various fantastical creatures, include a central figure holding a banner, flanked by others wielding weapons and adorned with unique features like tusks and intricate patterns. The scene is set amidst a misty, ethereal atmosphere, enhancing the mystical theme of the Famhairean campaign.

Ketil Trout Miniatures’ debut Kickstarter campaign ends in two weeks’ time.

Entitled Famhairean, This campaign features ten hand-sculpted, multi-part miniatures. 28mm in scale and inspired by Celtic mythology, these new miniatures portray the titular Famhairean, a race of creatures said to inhabit ‘coastal marshes [and] crumbling ruins obscured by mystical mists’. These new miniatures are wonderfully characterful and highly detailed; they are also the first miniatures sculpted by Andrew Macdonald, who not only painted said minis, but also created the terrain featured in the campaign’s photography and drew the illustrations; show-off.

Also, to further underline how sickeningly talented he is, Andrew has created a very, very cool set of hand-sculpted shields; these are available as part of the Famhairean Kickstarter. They feature are variety of scowling moons, gurning faces, tusked cyclopes and intricate knotwork; all of which makes them eminently suitable for a goblinoid or similarly evil army.

A grid of 36 hand-sculpted shields, each featuring intricate designs inspired by Celtic mythology. The shields display a variety of colorful motifs, including scowling faces, gurning expressions, and detailed knotwork, rendered in vibrant hues of red, blue, green, yellow, and black. The background is a neutral gray, allowing the vivid colors and intricate details of the shields to stand out prominently.

This campaign is already fully-funded; it ends on Friday, December 5th at 12:47 PM UTC.

See the Kickstarter campaign for more details.
