Bretonnia Knights haven’t looked this good since their glory days in Warhammer Fantasy, so don’t miss this Army of the Old Age 3D stl Kickstarter.
We’ve been following this Kickstarter for a few weeks. It’s perfect for games like Kings of War, 9th Age, and even Warhammer Fantasy. If you have a 3D printer, then you can show your support and start printing one of the coolest tabletop Knightly armies we’ve ever seen. This Kickstarter has been going on for a while now so here are all the latest updates.
This Kickstarter has been going on for a few weeks and has already received a pledge amount of $21,312! That’s about four times more than what the designer was asking for.
So here’s the rundown on everything you need to know.
Bretonnia is Back: 3D Printing Army of the Old Age Kickstarter
So far the Tartessos Miniatures project has unlocked the following staples for the army:
- Infantry Commander: 4 new heads for each infantry squad, 4 different banners. 5 one-handed axes, 5 new shields. A new religious pilgrim thematic infantry. It will have customizable arms and heads and will come with its own set of weapons and shields. (And holy relics!) A new Two-handed sword and axe infantry! Equipped with chainmail and gambeson this infantry will be the elite troops of any army!
- Knight: 8 new knight´s Great Helms, 6 new shields. 5 special mono-pose thematic torsos for champions. Knight: Horse backpacks with accessories for traveling knights, plus another 5 special mono-pose thematic torsos for a king´s guard. A mounted damsel with its own personal 5 squad monopose female guard!
- Beast Master: 3 new multipiece Demigryph mounts. 3 new multipiece hippogriff mounts. A new lady in a new pegasus, ready to encourage the hearts of her people!
3d Printing Benefits
This is my first release of 28 heroic scale miniatures, a huge project that aims to change the way we have been 3D printing for wargames from now on.
Like many, I wondered if 3D printers really served to build an entire army, or only served to print monsters, heroes, or figures with strange positions in which supports were avoided, with the added difficulty of unifying all of them into certain proportions. I often came across extraordinary designs, but too different to build a coherent army.
Customization
The second point was the difficulty of customizing the models, one of my favorite parts of the hobby, with the added problem of gluing many of the resin pieces together. Frequently they had been cut after designing them, without any type of connector that would make the work easier, and depending on the size of the piece, forcing it to be drilled to include wire or other hooks.
I was thinking for a while about how to avoid these problems, and so now I am pleased to present the birth of Tartessos miniatures, with the intention of offering people an entire army, with infantry units, cavalry, and trained creatures to confront and destroy the enemies of Order and Peace. An army designed on the basis of small pieces, of fast printing, which in turn require smaller supports; a highly customizable and expandable army: a system that allows you to prepare archers on horseback, knights on foot, pikemen on griffins… Whatever you want or need!
