Today in my showcase of awesome small miniature manufacturers is Heresy Miniatures, which is based in Derby in the UK. Above you can see my painting of a piece of there's. Well, more accurately two pieces as the goblin is separate! As ever, I'm not getting paid for this review, nor have I received anything free.
These photos are taken from the Heresy Miniatures Website - heresyminiatures.com
The photos here show the two different ways you can build 'Manbane the Minotaur', either with two axes, or having pulled a human apart. What's great is the miniature ships with both, so you can decide at your leisure which way to build it. I did briefly consider building with the axes, but the other way is just too cool!
The quality and detail on the miniature is great - it's made with resin, but I didn't have any of the issues which are normally associated with resin miniatures. It glued together very well, the paint took really nicely and there's none of the brittleness you can get with resin.
Manbane the Minotaur is £15, which I think is very reasonable for a miniature of this size and quality. Having just looked on the website it's actually reduced to £12 at the moment, so it's a great time to grab a deal!
What the minotaur mini doesn't come with is the dead goblin. Don't worry, though, you can also pick it up from Heresy Miniatures. It's the Goblin Casualty miniature and I think it really adds to the overall effect.
The goblin casualty is a metal miniature, and is just £2.50. I think it makes a great addition to a base, as I've done here, but if you're playing a game and want to mark where a goblin died then this is absolutely perfect. Obviously it was hard to paint and is hard to talk about for the Goblin Squire, but I managed to get through it :)
Shipping from Heresy Miniatures has had to reduce due to the ongoing problems, but they are still shipping every week, so you should still get an order pretty quickly. They also sell gift certificates, which are a fantastic way to support small businesses at this time - they get the income, and you can use the voucher when things are calmer and they can work with fewer restrictions. Finally, they have a loyalty scheme which will reward the regular customer with money off future orders. All great reasons to check them out at heresyminiatures.com!
One final err...bonus for reading right to the end. You'll be please to know that Manbane is sculpted in an anatomically correct manner...
Thanks for reading!
