Kingdom Death Show Off A Phenomenal Miniatures Sprue!
July 10, 2014 by brennon
Kingdom Death is a little behind on their update at the moment but in recompense they showed off the amazing plastic sprue for their Unarmoured Survivor. There is a lot on here to customise your poor unfortunate hero or heroine and if you could find out a way of magnetising enough of the components maybe you could switch them out on the fly!
First up here are said Survivors clinging to their lanterns and hoping that the light lasts long enough down in the darkness! But of course there is much more where that came from once you start looking at the sprues themselves...
There are lots of delicate parts and it might end up being quite the Malifaux-esque task to put these together without gluing your own fingers together and the model itself! Still it all looks very well realised and with plenty of detail.
Here is a more coherant breakdown of exactly what's on the sprues and maybe you'll be able to start planning out exactly where you want to take your own Survivor. What creation do you think you'll be making?
Are you still chomping at the bit for Monster?

Well there surely are some nice options with those kits. Those could be worth getting.
… is it just me, or do the heads seem to have no eyes (@ ,o) ?
Probably not. It’s Kingdom Death, remember? At least the nose isn’t a penis.
… fair point 😉 they probably needed another orifice for all the nose dicks 😛 ha ha
If you open the image of the sprue in it’s own window and blow it up to full size, you can see that the eyes are definitely sculpted on.
Images this small are clearly inadequate for the detail on these minis.
The only thing I have an issue with… The 2 poses for the men and women are just mirror imaged and/or have a bit of jewelry on them. I just thought they would have been more individual given the amount of customisation allowed.
When I saw “Kingdom Death” in the Breaking News sidebar, I actually groaned to myself “oh no . . .” but then immediately clicked on it! 😀 Surprisingly normal, but still fantastic looking sculpts. KD maintains its standard even when not making horrific sculpts, sensual sculpts, or worst of all, some hideous blend of the two. >:D
yeah, kingdom death is definitely an odd one, isn’t it ? 😛 ha ha
… sometimes I will see minis like the Flower Knight and Smoke Knight,
and just think they are some of the most stunningly beautiful sculpts out there 🙂
… and then I see that bird with hands the coming out his o-ring (o. O)
or the dude with a bell end for a head, holding his intestines (@ ~ @)
and I just think …. why ? … just why ?? (X . X) ??
… I shiver to think what kind of dreams the KD creator must have 😛 ha ha
Why? Because it is boutique horror. If it didn’t disturb you it wouldn’t fit this particular “horror” genre. 😛
Interesting we watch people get chain sawed in half and have their skins worn as a cloak but have a lion with a penis for a head and it disturbs us more…
But yes, it is a little much for most of us, and we all have our boundaries.
I was part of the KD:M kickstarter but selectfully elected not to get some of the more unusual sculpts because some people I know wouldn’t let me put them on their table. Admittedly even I felt a few were too disturbing for me! 😀
hmmm… “boutique” you say ? … (o – o). …
Boutique : (trans)
A boutique is a small shopping outlet, especially one that specializes in elite and fashionable items such as clothing and jewelry
… well that changes everything …
QUICKLY, I need to accessorize my outfit with some severed cocks (@ . @) !!!
😀
Wikipedia serves you well young padawan. Not.
This is why the internet does not serve to enlighten, merely to confuse. I mean “boutique” as in a specialised area of business, but yes you may accessorise as many items you like with genitalia. 😉
Do you wonder why? The answer is…because! 😉
I love all the KD minis precisely because are different. And the craftsmanship in all of them is quite superb.
21 head options and only 4 bodies O.O
KD is all about head…
Oof. 😀
yep, and after a hard days work of kingdoming and deathing,
they all go down to the bar for a stiff drink …
… I instantly apologize for that comment 😛
I totally put my foot in my mouth there ….
…. another kingdom death fetish ;P
And they have extras of the same heads.
I’m pretty sure that the idea is for us to use some of these bits in conjunction with the armored survivor kits (ie- if we don’t want everyone to always be without their helmets).
I’ve glued my fingers together assembling Rifts miniatures in 1995. Yeah, I said Rifts…
Oh Lord. Not Rifts. The old universe of Palladium D20 RPGs
I still have my TNMT character somewhere . . . the armadillo “Dude MacDillo of the Clan MacDillo!”
There can be only one!
Pretty generic and boring. Love KD stuff but thats not exiting at all. I want a sprue with cocks, my orks are in need for looted armor.
… is the armour for Nobz (@ ,o) ? 😛 ha ha
Had to 😀 there.
It seems that the torso are very ‘rigid’. no rotation, just a straight torso. I hope the other minis wil be more dynamic.
Don’t forget that these are designed as part of a figure construction kit. There has to be some compromise in order to get all of the parts from all of the different armour kits to be compatible with each other.
I think once we see the other armour kits, things will start to look a lot better.
With the new update things look a little better but I must now concur – The survivors do look a little static. Even I can understand the reason for it.
Each day and update that goes by seems to show these mini’s will not be worth the wait. It is a board game and the game got trashed with-in months of the end of the kickstarter. I am bias though, I have am a backer for quite a bit of money and I have lost all faith in Adam Poots.
By the time I get the game I don’t think I will care, after all he doesn’t even show complete dedication to his very successful kickstarter, he does a lot of side projects while we all wait.
I don’t get the people moaning about him doing other things while working on KD:M. The resin stuff for his shop has feck all to do with the game and has no impact on it.
The sculptors are idle as the sculpts for the game were done a long time ago. So there’s no conflict there.
The sprue production is in the hands of the plastic manufacturer. A manufacturer that is nothing to do with the resin. So no conflict there either.
The only conflict is Adam putting in extra hours each day to get both things done.
Seriously. Moaning about this is like saying to somebody. “No you can’t make your cup of coffee yet because your boiled egg hasn’t finished cooking.”
Ok tasker, here is what Poots could be doing with the extra time that he is using to sell his resin:
1. More communication with backers.
2. Making sure the game is play tested, edited, and releasing pieces in advance to backers. (Remember he already did a reboot on game rules at least once.)
3. Beta testing to backers.
4. Shipping in waves to allow for people to start playing.
5. Videos of game play and behind the scenes of miniature production.
6. Release something to backers to put in their hands. Hell, the Beasts of War guys got a miniature before the backers. (You can call it press, but what exactly would Poots be selling if his game is not for store shelves and you can’t buy it direct right now, and it is already severely backordered… hmmm…. Why would he even need press when he could be doing something else.)
7. Since he basically said he is having a money issue, because Poots already said he is reinvesting resin sales into KD:Monster then he should be upfront with his backers about that. He could research and refocus on shipping the box game, put off expansions.
8. If money is that tight he could seek additional investment like a real business person.
9. Design a game box that could sell on a store shelf so that he could spend his time taking pre-orders for traditional gaming stores.
10. Poots could sit in a dark damp depressing corner and realize that he has failed multiple times in the past and it seems he going about failing again with $2 million dollars in backer money.
11. Why do I bring up #10, because in the real world of business a business person taps their investors expertise to help with the business when they need that help. I have talked to him myself and tried to explain that his backers are not just money, they are investors, they have skills and when he runs into problems he could tap into those investors to find solutions. His investors have a stake in his success. Not a single investor wants to see him fail.
12. Investors aren’t all equal. People that put up large investments in normal businesses get special dispensations, this is not exactly the same for a kickstarter, but any investor putting up over $1k should be treated on a better footing than some guys that run a website in England. Spend time figuring out how to work with investors that put up pretty large sums of money, they will probably put in more money when you hit crunch time or be willing to help in other ways.
This is a great parts set for conversion work.
The hands alone might make it worth it for me.
