Oathsworn Miniatures has just launched a new small Kickstarter: Starting with the Norse God Odin, we are aiming to produce a range of Gods as metal model kits for gamers, collectors and painters. Welcome to the beginning of Project Pantheon - a new range of Gods from Oathsworn Miniatures. You can find the already fully funded Kickstarter here.
The Plan
We've done a couple of Kickstarter projects already, and now have a small fantasy miniatures line as a result. But our sculptor, Michael, has always wanted to do a range of gods... and so we're beginning Project Pantheon. We're starting out with the chief god of the Norse Pantheon, Odin, riding his eight-legged horse, Sleipnir. We'll be casting the model as a multi-part metal kit, suitable for gamers, collectors and figure painters. We're a fair way along the production process; all the concept work has been done, the model is already sculpted, and prepared for moulding. So we are pretty much ready to go.
Odin is a big figure - if you are used to 28mm figures, he'll definitely be larger than you are used to. If he was an infantry model, he'd stand about 40mm tall. So why have we made him in a bigger size than the rest of our figures? There are 3 reasons; firstly, he's a god! We want him to be an impressive model, one that will stand out on the tabletop or in a display case. Secondly, we wanted to do a really high quality job on the sculpting, and a bigger size helps with that. And thirdly, we wanted him to fit in with other ranges of gods, such as those by Bronze Age Miniatures, and North Star Miniatures - all of which are in a similar size to ours. This means that you could use Odin easily in a game of Osprey's Of Gods and Mortals. That's what we're doing with ours, anyway!
