Last few hours for the Kickstarter! tinyurl.com/b38k8jub Witch Hunters; either noble heroes protecting the innocent from dark forces, or power-hungry sadists, spreading pain and fear. All a matter of opinion, I guess... I tend to think of them as a mixed bunch, personally.

Here's a few more painted versions of the new minis in our current Burrows & Badgers Kickstarter. Some heavily armoured beasties, ideal for Routiers and Royalists... or Freebeasts, Witch Hunters, etc. :) OK, probably not Hillfolk, Undead, or Wildlings, I admit! ;) KS linky: tinyurl.com/b38k8jub
Here's a few more painted versions of the new minis in our current Kickstarter. Three village militia types and three undead beasties... :) KS linky: tinyurl.com/b38k8jub
Our new Kickstarter is live... (well, it went live yesterday, and I'm just very bad at social media...) Burrows & Badgers: Reinforcements tinyurl.com/b38k8jub Here's a few painted examples. :)
I've finished painting a dreadnought for my Mentors... it's the modern Ballistus Redemptor model, but I've chopped it up a bit to make it more '3rd ed boxnought' style. Made a nice change from painting infantry! :) #3rded #3rd40k #40k3rd #40k3e #40kthird #wh40k #mentors #mentorlegion #spacemarine
We're finally going to do a Kickstarter for some new Burrows & Badgers releases! We're keeping it simple; just a single 'All-in' Pledge level. We're expecting to launch on the 31st, and here's a link so you can sign up to be notified: tinyurl.com/b38k8jub
I've finally got my first 400 points of Mentor Legion marines finished! And painted one, lonely, Imperial Guardsman... lots more of those to go! And I've started on Terminators, & I've converted a Ballistus Redemptor to look more 3rd ed worthy... hopefully I'll get some paint on that soon! :)
This week I have mostly been testing new moulds... and the good news is, they all work! So we should have a new release ready very soon. Here's one of them - a badger with a banner. :) #burrowsandbadgers #anthro #tabletop #oathsworn
Some Marines... I planned Crimson Fists, but after painting two, I found I didn't really enjoy painting their colour scheme. So I've switched to Mentor Legion instead, and gone for a very dirty, weathered look. First 7 models done; 5 Tacticals, 1 Razorback, and 1 Scout.
Some of the Burrows & Badgers minis that we'd hoped to release at Salute... they're a bit delayed, but we should have all the moulding issues fixed very soon. Here's three Stable Ghasts, and five Witch Hunters. Natural enemies, I reckon... :) #burrowsandbadgers #WIPwednesday #tabletop #oathsworn
We'd planned some new releases for Salute next week, but we're out of time, sadly... We'll either do them straight-to-webstore, or maybe a short Kickstarter. Anyway, here's a few of them. A Cocker Spaniel with a Heavy Crossbow, & three Raw recruit/Village militia types; frog, black rat, & weasel.
Salute 53 is next Saturday, at Excel London! Jo & Lizzie will be at stand TB11, selling minis, with me & Finn at GA13. At GC09, Tim Eagling will have a couple of tables, one for Burrows & Badgers, & one for Arcworlde. Tim's award-winning games are always worth a look! Hope we see you there... :)
If you see this drop a hero with a sword!

I thought I'd jump on the 'art vs artist' bandwagon to show that it's not all been spin-casting and packing orders this year, and I have actually done some creative stuff! Here's some of the minis which will be off for moulding early next year. #artvsartist #artvsartist2025 #burrowsandbadgers
Happy Christmas everyone! Jo's at home, slaving over a hot stove, & I'm at the workshop, slaving over a hot casting machine. Here's the obligatory festive image, featuring hobby hero, educator extraordinaire, and part-time pirate, Tim Eagling, checking out the 2nd edition Burrows & Badgers rules.
The Wargames Illustrated Awards are live! If you fancy voting for Burrows & Badgers 2nd ed, or for us ( Oathsworn ), please do! It's not easy beating the bigger companies in these kind of awards, but every vote counts. www.surveymonkey.com/r/wiawards2025
This big guy was supposed to be finished last week, for National Badger Day. Stuff kept getting in the way. But it's still Brocktober (definitely a thing, I'm sure), so here he is! :) #burrowsandbadgers #animal #furry #anthropomorphic #anthro #sculpting #greenstuff #oathsworn
Another 3 sculpts for Burrows & Badgers - a Witch Hunter Hare, a Hillfolk Clanbeast Shrew, & an Illuminator-Sargeant Weasel. Maybe they'll even get released before the end of the year! Probably not, given the way things are going... still, there's always Salute next April! ;)
My first attempt at a Maschinen Kreiger build. It's a Mk1 SAFS kit (Nitto series 4), with the addition of a couple of fake nails, and lots of putty!
Three more sculpts for Burrows & Badgers - these are Routiers, from General Alban deBrandt's Freebeast mercenary army. A hedgehog, and a couple of mice. The hedgehog's inspired by a sketch Peter Johnston did (great illustrator - if you have a project needing art, hire him! :) ) #burrowsandbadgers
I think this one is done - I'll try and resist the urge to fiddle further! #makcomp2025 #paintonplasticmakcomp2025 #maschinenkrieger #sf3d #paintonplastic #maschinenkriegerzbv3000
Two more sculpts for Burrows & Badgers - a Mole warrior-priest for the Witch Hunters, and a Squirrel Stable Ghast for the Undead. Natural enemies! :) #burrowsandbadgers #characterdesign #anthropomorphic #anthro #rpg #wargames #sculpting #greenstuff #oathsworn #miniatures
Building a MaK SAFS... I've made a base, which TBH doesn't really add anything, so I'll probably lose that. And the pistol's not really working either... I'll see how it goes. Insignia next, followed by the fun bit - weathering! :) #paintonplasticmakcomp2025 #maschinenkrieger
This is one of those models which I really like in hand, but struggle to find a good photo angle for... Black Rat Kindred Knight, for Burrows & Badgers. #burrowsandbadgers #animal #furry #anthropomorphic #anthro #dnd #sculpting #greenstuff #oathsworn #miniatures #sculptingminiatures #tabletop
Here's a quick teaser pic of what I've been sculpting lately; (left to right) Black Rat Kindred Knight, Mole Warrior Priest, Squirrel Stable Ghast Magic-user. Hedgehog Routier, Weasel Illuminator-Sergeant, Mouse Routier 1. Mouse Routier 2, Hare Witch Hunter, Hillfolk Clan Shrew. #burrowsandbadgers
Obligatory Salute map... but we're much easier to find this year! Just walk straight in and look for the Warlord stand on your right. Then walk past to our stand next to them! We have the book, two starter Bands, Rosters, a 'getting started' thing, White Mouse mini, & Otter knight mini, for £100.
I meant to put this one in my last post, but forgot... here's the two starter bands, getting released this month. (The objective markers in the previous post are included as well.) #burrowsandbadgers #oathsworn #miniatures #tabletop #anthro #anthropomorphic
A Royalist Hound knight, and some objective markers... all Bands need three objective markers in the new version of Burrows & Badgers. It can be fun to make your own, but we've done these just to make it easy to get started. #burrowsandbadgers #oathsworn #anthro #miniatures
A couple of Rogues, (Weasel and Little Owl) which will be part of the new Starter Bands, to be released at Salute at the Excel London, on the 12th April. And on the webstore, shortly after. :) #burrowsandbadgers
