Hi everyone,
Just a quick post today - the latest in my series looking at small miniature manufacturers who we can support through these hard times. As ever, I'm not getting paid for this, nor have I received any free stuff. Today I'm going to be looking at Black Sun Miniatures, another UK based company. They specialise in high-quality resin pieces and offer them in a variety of scales, as well as busts. For that reason I would categorise them as aiming more at collectors and painters rather than gamers, although you could certainly use them for games if you wanted. I received some miniatures from Black Sun as a present from my wife, and I was blown away by the detail and accuracy. I'll show you some that I've put some paint on below, but here are a couple of shots from their website.
These images are taken from blacksunminiatures.co.uk.
I can confirm that the miniatures look beautiful in real life too. I did have a few issues putting the parts together and there was a little bit of work involved removing excess resin, but once the work had been put in they looked magnificent.
I've just finished the Abyssus Ruin which is beautifully detailed, although perhaps not the most exciting demonstration of a painted miniature!
I've also been working on the Black Sun Miniatures Forest Troll over quite a period of time. Given the cost and detail of these miniatures they tend to be longer term projects rather than 'quick wins'. The troll is still very much a work in progress, but I hope it gives you an idea of how it looks with a little paint on it.
Just for clarity, I added the base material to this piece myself, it came with a plain base. The troll stands 70mm high, 90mm to the top of the club.
As I've mentioned throughout, these miniatures are beautiful, but they are definitely more expensive than your average miniatures as well. They make a great gift to yourself or someone else and a good longer term project, but I don't think you would want to assemble a horde from Black Sun. That said, I don't think it was ever their intention that you do.
Have fun and stay safe :) Goblin Squire
