The new Project Warhorse: Rough Rider Miniatures Kickstarter from Victoria Miniatures is full of amazing alternatives!
Victoria Miniatures is always coming out with some of the coolest bits and hand-crafted minis on the market. If you’ve been looking for a way to set your army apart, especially Imperial Guard or any human army, you really need to look at them.
This is their third Kickstarter, and the other two hit all kinds of stretch goals, so we expect this one to be no different. Regardless, if you want some of the coolest Rough Riders alternatives we’ve ever seen, don’t wait around on this project!
Project Warhorse: Rough Rider Miniatures Kickstarter is Live Now!
The project will have both STLs and physical options, meaning if you have a printer, you can grab the bundle and print out as many as you need!
The Digital Mega Bundle includes supported and unsupported versions of every component in Project Warhorse, including all horses, riders, bases and any extra bits that may be added during the campaign.
On the physical side of things, they have a ton of different regiments represented, which is nice considering from GW; you can only get one!
The miniatures in Project Warhorse are 32mm, the same size as the new plastic ‘Grimdark’ Guardsmen. You can also swap the heads and arms between them. If you choose the Digital Mega Bundle, you can of course, print your miniatures any size you want.
Here are the specs on all the physical sets:
Each physical Squad includes 5x Horses, 5x riders, 5x laser rifles in holsters, 5x left arms holding reins, 3x right arms with crack lances, 2x right arms with fusion lances, 1x right arm with shock lance, 1x right arm with officer’s sabre and 5x 60mm oval bases.
Individual Units
If you’re going for individual units, each will run approximately $50. While it’s not the cheapest, they are hand-crafted resin and still cheaper than the ones from a certain bigger company. As you can see above, you can grab any of the different regiments as individual purchases.
Company of Rough Riders
If you want all kinds of Rough Riders, you can buy the bundle and get 30 minis in one go! Here are the specs on the bigger sets; just know you can get it with every style, not just this one.
Each Physical Company includes 6x 5 Rider Squads from a single regiment, making a formidable 30 rider total. This is an excellent value option for those Commanders wanting to max out their Rough Rider forces.
