We're A Rescue Team! Not Assassins!

Macrocosm Miniatures launches their latest Kickstarter for Space Dwarves: Predators, Hunter and Hunted, featuring seven special forces jungle operatives and one... well, there’s something out there waiting for us, and it ain’t no man. Traditionally hand-sculpted by INSO and painted by Here Be Goblins.

Dillon, You Son Of A Bitch

The Tewkesbury-based operation has been quietly championing old-school metal miniatures since 2015, running over twenty successful campaigns whilst the rest of the industry got soft pushing CAD software and injection moulding. Chris Nicholls outfit occupies the intersection between cottage industry and genuine alternative to the behemoths, acquiring ranges from Black Hat Miniatures and providing a platform for Satanic Panic Miniatures alongside their own expanding universe of sci-fi dwarves, dark dwarves, and fantasy ranges.

What’s the matter? The CIA Got You Pushing Too Many Pencils?

This latest set hit funding in under eight hours. Eight miniatures for £45, or cherry-pick individual sculpts at £7 each, all cast in white metal by Macrocosm. The campaign runs until mid November, plenty of time to assemble your extraction team before the jungle closes in.
