With this project, we're aiming to produce a rotting warband of 28mm-scaled character models for you to use in any number of game settings and with any suitable ruleset.
Sculpted in a decidedly oldschool style and aesthetic, these modern-sized miniatures will fit in with your existing armies, form an entire chaotic warband, or add flavour and personality to your roleplaying party.
Most models are cast in high quality white metal; some of the larger beasts will be produced in fine quality urethane resin. Our casters have long experience in producing fine quality castings in both materials and have a proven track record of delivering on time.
Want just one model from the set? No problem. Fancy a handpicked skirmish force? Again, easily done. Want a whole skirmish warband with some additional huge centrepiece beasties? We've got you covered.
While all of the main warband models are already moulded and cast, this is a Kickstarter, not a preorder for shipping-ready product - and most have yet to reach the head of our painting queue. Pictures show either painted master castings or the original master sculpts. Hoping to update with more painted pics during the campaign!
Include any of these inidividual models to your Pledge by adding the cost marked on the lower right corner of each pic to your Pledge - eg. add Stumpff to a ROT GRUB Pledge for a total of £4.
Single piece unpainted white metal miniature.
Cackling maniacally, Stumpff leads the dwarven cohort with word and with spell. Terrible mansplainer.
24mm to the top of his head. One piece white metal model.
Two piece unpainted white metal miniature.
Keeping his ridiculous beard meticulously clean while slathering the rest of his being in ordure, Saw uses the cursed mace Pestle to grind skulls to paste. Loves folk music.
24mm tall multipart white metal miniature
Two piece unpainted white metal miniature.
Thoroughly disagreeable to every last inch of his four foot six height, Skaphion channels his anger towards chopping enemies into easily digestible chunks. Hobbies: woodcarving, philately.
23mm to the crest of his helm.
Two-part unpainted white metal miniature.
Nobody has ever seen Kopron outside of his armour and foetid robes. He communicates in grunts and a variable flaring of the baleful glow from his skull sockets. The ultimate socially awkward wallflower, he much prefers two-handed bladeswinging to Karaoke.
32mm to his rusty eyehole.
Single piece unpainted white metal miniature.
Sent to act as servitor to Sorceror Maldred, this creature can disappear like smoke, reforming to catch victims unawares as it spreads pestilence. Huge repertoire of folk songs. Very stabby.
Single piece unpainted white metal model.
Beloved of the goddess, she spreads the Rotten Word and blesses the fallen with the caress of her tentacle and the fumes from her censer. Skilled spider wrangler. Fave colour: purple.
31mm to her eye level. White metal miniature.
Multipart unpainted white metal miniature.
Blessed by the Powers, Hinrich's single eye allows him to see an opponent's next move so that he can outfight anyone. Not to be trusted with left turns.
Two piece white metal miniature.
Multipart unpainted white metal miniature.
Cursed for so long that it no longer remembers its own origins, Annuvin sees into all times and places at the same time. Clearly insane, and prone to dropping Spoilers.
32mm to the top of its head. Multipart white metal model.
Single piece unpainted white metal miniature.
Chosen of the gods, leader of the warband, and bearer of the sacred Bile Cauldron. GSOH, central heating, all his own teeth.
Single-piece white metal miniature.
Single piece unpainted resin model.
A snivelling, slithering wet mass of teeth, toes, and tusks, Spot hung around the campfire waiting for scraps and now follows the warband everywhere. Good with children and animals, hates cats.
60mm diameter, 50mm+ tall resin miniature cast in one piece.
Two piece unpainted resin miniature.
Youngest of the two troll mercenaries in Maldred's employ, Sobell's job description in the warcompany's roster lists him as "Blunt Force Technician".

Single piece unpainted white metal model.
Adaon is on the trail of the Warband, having been Geased to bring back the heads of the Troll Twins. He's not quite figured out yet that he doesn't necessarily need twin axes to take twin heads...

Single piece unpainted white metal miniature.
Gwystyl has had a run-in with the Warband before now, losing his eye to Putriss' barbed tentacle some years back and swearing vengeance ever since. He really is old enough to know better with that haircut by now, though.
White metal miniature. 20mm to the top of his forehead; 32mm to the crest of his frohawk.

Multipart resin model.
The Broodmother's buboes continually produce a sickly-sweet smelling pus that the Warband use to trace protective spell circles on setting up camp. This is just as horrible as it sounds.

Add £40 to your Pledge for this huge "miniature".

Another part of the rotting menagerie that attends the periphery of the Warband's journeys, these bulbous horrors act very much like watchdogs, shrieking alarm at signs of movement nearby.

NB Mug is standard shape, with one handle; graphic shows dimensions of wraparound image print.
Exclusive to this Kickstarter, add one to your Pledge for £10.
I have a huge backlog of unreleased sculpts needing Kickstarter help to get mastered and into production. If the warband from the main campaign funds well, there's scope to release even more thematically-linked, old school fantasy models.
If/when unlocked you can add more to your pledge (any level) by adding the relevant reward cost (eg. +£20 for Itzibitzi) to your pledge.
The stretch goal unlock targets will be unveiled (and may be adjusted) during the campaign for optimal momentum!

Set of six white metal giant rats. Add for £15 if Unlocked.
The warband started their career earning coin by hunting giant rats in the cellars of their local pub. Nowadays they attract the same vermin to follow close behind them, scavenging anything Good Boy Spot misses. Average height 15mm at the shoulders, with separate poseable tails. Includes resin bases.
If Unlocked, you can add a set of six white metal giant rats to your Pledge for £15
Set of five white metal multipart wererats. Add to your Pledge for £15 when Unlocked.
Where there are giant rats, there are usually wererats. While their constant chittering and squeaking is enough to drown out even Stumpff's highpitched squeals, they do form a useful line of defence and arrow sponge while the Warband debrief over the Vilespawn's latest culinary endeavours.
Average height 26mm with separate poseable tails. Includes resin bases.
If Unlocked, you can add a set of five white metal wererats for £15.
Single piece white metal miniature. Add him to your Pledge for £5 if Unlocked.
How on earth an ex-legionary soldier was raised from the dead to Unlife and then began hanging around with a Plague-obsessed gang of ne'er-do-wells is anyone's guess, but legend has it Septus was born in the same stable as Maldred. This dessicated centurion spends most of his time as nightwatchman for the band, not needing to sleep or to eat.
32mm to-the-eyes miniature.
If Unlocked, you can add this white metal model to your Pledge for £5.
Once Maldred's right-hand man, Damyin gradually regressed into a sluglike mass whose sole contribution to the warband now is adding his opinions to discussions in a broad Highlands accent. 25mm to its topmost tentacle tip.
FREE to all Pledges of £25 or higher if Unlocked.
Set of two multipart resin model kits. Add them to your Pledge for £25 if Unlocked.
One of the many bestial hangers-on that frolic in the Warband's vanguard, Bandersnatchii often hunt in pairs to outweigh the odds against adventurers armed with jinxy pistols. They specialise in sniffing out Bankers and uncashed cheques. Very frumious.
90/100mm long, approx. 28mm to the shoulder. Includes scenic resin bases.
If Unlocked, you can add both of these four-part resin models to your Pledge for £25.
Multipart resin model kit. Add to your Pledge for £20 if Unlocked.
They've just never found a slipper big enough.
A twelve piece resin model. 120mm long from spinnerets to front feet,80mm overall height. Supplied with 120mm diameter resin base.
If Unlocked, you can add her to your Pledge for £20.
Fenris Games is a small company thrust into the limelight as the creators of the models used in Cthulhu Wars. We're old school gamers with a background in professional modelmaking and prototyping, with a combined experience of over 60 years. As well as Cthulhu Wars, our regular sculptors have worked for some of the biggest names in the wargaming and tabletop industry, including Games Workshop, Reaper, Ral Partha, Wizards of the Coast, and many more.
Macrocosm Miniatures and Shed Games, our casters, are full time metal and resin casters with a proven track record working with small manufacturers and on fulfilment of numerous recent kickstarters over the last couple of years.
White metal models in this campaign are mostly single-part; some have separate weapons and shields or separate hands with weapons attached.
Resin models are mostly multipart and will require some assembly.
All models should require a minimum amount of cleanup and prep ahead of undercoating and painting - nothing more than normally required for any equivalent tabletop gaming miniatures. Both resin and metal miniatures can be fixed with cyano / superglues and may benefit from pinning at joints.
Postage costs will be calculated on completion of your pledge, during the backer survey stage of the campaign, and will be dependent on final weight/volume of your base reward and any add-ons you may have chosen. All parcels will be sent by tracked/signed-for services through Royal Mail - delivery times will vary according to country of final destination.These shippings costs will vary greatly depending on the weight/bulk of any add-ons you choose - we're confidently estimating (postal price increases notwithstanding) that this will add between £5-20 per customer for tracked/signed for mail, with highest costs being applied to overseas and/or large pledges. For example, a FULL ROTTEN ARMY pledge (packed weight just over 1 kilo) posting to the USA would need an additional £20 shipping added in the Pledge Manager).
Costs include not just Royal Mail's actual postage charges - shown here (https://www.royalmail.com/sites/default/files/royal-mail-our-prices-25-march-2019-46305575.pdf) but also enough to cover actual costs of packing materials.
Fenris Games is not liable for any customs or handling fees you may be charged by your country on import of your reward(s).
Risques et défis
All of the sculpts for this project are already finished - there will be no added delays waiting for pieces to be finished. Master moulds for most of the models have already been made and test castings poured (hence the painted examples shown in the campaign) - a successful campaign here will allow the manufacture of Production Moulds and, shortly thereafter, the mass casting of both white metal and resin models.
We have two dedicated subcontract casters ready and waiting to start work on making the models needed for fulfilment of your Pledge. As soon as those all-important funds arrive, resin and metal will begin to pour!
We've been making moulds and casting resin for over 30 years, and have partnered with a hugely reliable subcontract casting company whose work meets our high standards. They've made test moulds and pre-production castings of the warband models to measure mould wear and longevity, so already have a handle on production time, wear & tear, and amounts of materials needed.
This is our third Kickstarter. We've learned a huge amount from our first two, and know just which pitfalls to avoid and how best to deal with any new challenges. Our previous campaign - Rubble City - is over 90% fulfilled and expected to complete within another few weeks at time of writing. While there have been delays to production of the handcast resin components, these have been largely due to bereavement and the emotional and practical fallout that resulted. While we used to also supply contract casting for other gaming companies, we now concentrate only on our own work, meaning that once fulfilment on the previous KS is complete the workshop will be clear to concentrate on Fenris business alone; with subcontract casting being handled offsite, this project will not involve any considerable quantity of in-house casting work - freeing us up to process your Pledge as soon as stock castings arrive at the workshop and to finetune packing and shipping all the faster.
