Shieldwolf Miniatures has announced the following information about their upcoming second Kickstarter to fund their long-awaited hard-plastic shieldmaidens and other units.
The upcoming Fantasy Kickstarter's initial funding goals will allow the production of a hard-plastic chainmailed shieldmaiden infantry boxed set. The non-chainmail boxed set is also planned and included in the Kickstarter. A $100 pledge will field you a mighty army of 96 miniatures consisting out of both hard-plastic and resin and will be eligible for free stretch goals as they are unlocked.
This Kickstarter's main focus will be the hard-plastic infantry boxed sets at much lower initial stretch goals.The main reason for this choice is to be able to support the needed troop numbers for their upcoming fantasy ruleset War is Coming. These rules are currently be playtested worldwide and will be released for free during the Kickstarter with further continuous support guaranteed by Shieldwolf Miniatures. The rules are written to be used with square bases and will be regiment based.

The Kickstarter will also reveal some unique miniatures not seen on the previous Kickstarter. If the project is succesful, all the current resin regiments will be discontinued and sold until remaining stock is sold. These sets are the following: Heavy Skeleton Infantry, Light, Barbarian Infantry and Deatch Deceivers. The estimated launch date is at the end of 2015.

For this upcoming project Shieldwolf miniatures has teamed up with new companies to further increase the quality of their hard-plastic miniatures by refining their 3D sculpting. The hard-plastic sets will be again produced and tooled by the experienced team over at Renedra, leading specialist in hard-plastic injection moulding for wargame miniatures. Next to this the terrain section has been discontinued in the webstore and will be relaunched within 9 to 12 months with full line of new terrain items.
So as you can see quite a lot of news and I'm already looking forward in seeing the hard-plastic miniatures supported by their highly detailled resin miniatures. In the past I have reviewed their hard-plastic Mountain Orcs and resin Great Wolf Chariot and they are splendid. If interested you check the reviews out here.
