Oathsworn Sculpting Up Red Kite For Burrows & Badgers
April 23, 2019 by brennon
Oathsworn Miniatures' Michael Lovejoy is working away on some more new models for Burrows & Badgers. His eyes are set on two massive models needed to help complete the list of creatures from the rulebook. The first on the block is the Red Kite.
Here you can see the work going into this massive model so far. It will have an impressive wingspan, shown swooping in on some poor hapless creature that might have dared strayed into the open.
A lot of work has already gone into the pose, thinking about how to balance such a big model and make it look dynamic. I really like the idea so far and I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of hand weapons the Red Kite gets armed with!
As well as the Red Kite there's also the Hound coming soon too. Both models will then be forming the basis of a new Kickstarter looking to bring fifteen new miniatures to the tabletop. I am already reserving money...
What big bigs of prey would you like to see Oathsworn work on for Burrows & Badgers?

Thats me in on the inevitable KS just based on that shot 😀 lovely work @oathsworn
Looking good so far. I don’t know about the rules but if it needs to be REALLY big then I’d also look at the Great Eagles from Gamezone. Perhaps that’s the next level up from the kites.
I think the classification in the game is Large Raptor so could cover a few interesting birds of prey. I like the idea of them doing things like a Peregrine Falcon.
I know they’ve done a Sparrowhawk and a Barn Owl so something around that size would work.
Kinda hoping they do some terrain which shows the old big beasts of the world like a wolf for example, that could be kinda cool.
I’ve been musing on the idea of an overgrown statue of a bear as part of my woods terrain. Bears and wolves etc are creatures of myth in the setting so it would be pretty cool.
I’m on the lookout for an appropriate (cheap!) plastic bear to use. If it were to scale it would be enormous!
I really like the look of this guy, I’ve got a few of the burrows and badgers minis but I’ve not managed to play a game. I think I’m going to build up my forces to allow me to demo games to get people in my area interested, another kickstarter will definitely hep!
Beautiful wing detail on that Kite. As always well done to the sculptor! As far as the impending Kickstarter/buying more B&B…….I always find myself saying, “Really I have plenty of ‘Burrows & Badgers’ minis, I don’t need anymore.” Then I visit their website on a whim and I suddenly find myself in front of the computer monitor with a print-out of the miniatures that I’ve just chucked in the shopping cart to order and checking to see if I need to add some more so that I get free shipping only to realize that I have over twice as many… Read more »
Just go with it – beautiful miniatures for a charming game so well worth the investment 😉
Go with it but put Ben’s address instead of yours – that way you get the thrill of the purchase without the downside of adding to the mountain of unpainted. ?
Oh @lordofuzkulak I just couldn’t do that to @brennon. To quote a great movie, “It would be just too much peril”. ?
