Imagine 3D Miniatures: Mounted Heroes Kickstarter Launched!

Imagine 3D Miniatures: Imagine 3D Miniatures is a startup company located in Madrid, Spain. It was born in 2013 with the idea of using the capabilities offered by 3D printing to provide a service of customizable miniatures. Under this idea, Imagine 3D Miniatures started developing its first project, Mounted Heroes

Mounted Heroes

Mounted Heroes is a service that provides custom 3D printed fantasy miniatures. It works completely online. Users can access our website and choose the race or the mounts they want to customize. The button takes them to a miniature creator where they are able to modify and change not just the body and facial expressions but also the armor, its accessories and also the weapons. After customizing the miniature, users can save it on their favorite list or – by the time we open the online store in fall 2015 – choose a 3D printing material, a scale (28mm, 35mm or 54mm) and add it to the cart.

With Mounted Heroes, people who play with miniatures, paint them or collect them, are able to have unique figures. And this miniatures can be used to play tabletop, boardgames and wargames.

When customizing and shopping a miniature, customers can also choose if they want a figure on foot or a mounted one. They can also get just a mount or just a rider. 3D printing allows us to reach a high level of customization that perfectly adapts to all kind of users – from those who know exactly what kind of hero they want for their army to those who want to create their own character for RPG tabletop games.

Mounted Heroes works with three different 3D printing materials: strong & flexible plastic, frosted ultra detail and frosted extreme detail (not available yet). The three of them can be use for printing the mounts, but only both frosted materials can be used for humans and orcs. Strong & flexible plastic is a material with lower level of detail. Because of the mounts size, it doesn’t affect to the definition of the mount and yet it is not too expensive. Frosted ultra detail provides a higher level of detail increasing prices – which change depending on the volume of the miniature- and figures printed in frosted high detail get a very good quality but require spending more money.

Kickstarter

Mounted Heroes Kickstarter campaign is coming on May 20 and it will last until June 18. We have chosen this platform because it is the best way to reach our worldwide audience.

We pledge for $30,000. We want to spend it on improving our service and products. By fund raising we want to improve the miniature creator and include at least two more races before opening the online store on fall 2015. In the future, we aspire to provide a wide catalog of races and mounts.
