Axia Miniatures Releases New 28mm Witch Scourgers for Tales of the Old World on Kickstarter https://www.tabletopgamingnews.com/axia-miniatures-releases-new-28mm-witch-scourgers-for-tales-of-the-old-world-on-kickstarter/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=axia-miniatures-releases-new-28mm-witch-scourgers-for-tales-of-the-old-world-on-kickstarter Wed, 16 Oct 2024 22:18:48 +0000 https://www.tabletopgamingnews.com/?p=20225 Axia Miniatures has launched its latest set of 28mm heroic-scale models as part of the Tales of the Old World series, introducing the Witch Scourgers—a group of grim hunters tasked with tracking down heretics and exploring dark ruins. The models reflect the low-fantasy, European Middle Ages-inspired world of the series.

Unlike traditional fantasy themes focused on warriors and monsters, this range also highlights the more mundane inhabitants, such as NPCs and civilians, adding depth to tabletop settings. The Witch Scourgers are portrayed as an elite force sent to uncover the mysteries behind the fall of a city, using their strategic skills to root out evil.

Backers of this campaign can choose between digital STL files for 3D printing or resin models, with 12 starting warband models included. As the campaign progresses, additional stretch goals will unlock more models. Optional add-ons offer backers the chance to expand their warband further.

The Kickstarter campaign is currently live, with $14,026 pledged of its $2,722 goal. The project has attracted 264 backers, and the campaign will run until October 25.

Inside Dungeons Reforged: A Conversation with Dwarven Forge on Their Latest Modular Terrain https://www.tabletopgamingnews.com/inside-dungeons-reforged-a-conversation-with-dwarven-forge-on-their-latest-modular-terrain/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=inside-dungeons-reforged-a-conversation-with-dwarven-forge-on-their-latest-modular-terrain Mon, 14 Oct 2024 22:05:04 +0000 https://www.tabletopgamingnews.com/?p=20068 Tomorrow, Wednesday, October 16th, at Noon Eastern Time, Dwarven Forge will be launching its latest Gamefound campaign, Dungeons Reforged. This campaign marks a major reimagining of their dungeon terrain line, bringing updated pieces, new additions, and a new paint scheme to the table. We recently asked Chris London, Head of Marketing at Dwarven Forge, a few questions about the project and what fans of their terrain can expect.

Chris shared that Dungeons Reforged is designed to address some key challenges that the company has faced in recent years. “For years, we were running off of a Kickstarter-based model where we were just focused on getting from campaign to campaign,” he explained. “The way the sets were laid out was optimized around the Kickstarter pledge structure, which meant that at the end of the day we had a lot of sets and pieces that were difficult to restock, or didn’t make a ton of sense to new customers trying to get started on our webstore.”

With Dungeons Reforged, Dwarven Forge has reorganized their offerings to make it easier for new collectors to dive into the hobby while also appealing to long-time fans. “We’ve made new ‘core sets’ that let new customers get a ton of table coverage affordably,” Chris noted. There are also new dressing packs and some long-awaited pieces that have been out of stock for years, like the Bladed Ziggurat and Acid Furnace.

One of the standout features of the campaign is the introduction of the “Sinister” paint scheme. This darker, more eerie color palette brings a completely different atmosphere to Dwarven Forge’s dungeon terrain, perfect for constructing necrotic or corrupted environments. “The Sinister paint scheme is also jaw-dropping on the table and gives a Shadowfell Keep or Necromancer’s lair feel.” Chris added.

For existing Dwarven Forge fans, Dungeons Reforged offers a chance to fill in some gaps in their collections, with new pieces like the trapdoor insert or corner pillar. These additions enhance the functionality of the sets, allowing for more dynamic and varied dungeon builds. The campaign also offers the opportunity for backers to provide feedback and influence the final product before orders are placed.

When asked about the inspiration behind the reworked dungeon terrain, Chris pointed to the timeless appeal of classic dungeon crawls. “The dungeon is the classic fantasy adventure setting,” he said. “We were heavily focused on making modular, interactive pieces that would bring all of the classic dungeon-crawling tropes to life. Now that we’ve played with these pieces for over half a decade, we’ve had ideas on how to execute on the classic dungeon trappings even better.”

Looking ahead, Dwarven Forge has plenty more in store for fans. With their Lowtown city-building Kickstarter nearing fulfillment and the Starforged Sci-Fi campaign on the horizon, the company is gearing up for an exciting few years. “We’re planning to share details on our next campaigns before the end of the year, after Dungeons Reforged launches,” Chris hinted.

Be sure to check out the campaign tomorrow at Noon Eastern on Gamefound to see it all in action.
