KICKSTARTER: Wyldwood - Tabletop Titans
Hail Mighty Readers and Followers of the Luck Gods Math Rocks,
We have been watching Tabletop Titans for a while now since we heard about Wyldwood from UKGE 2026 and wanted to help support their fundraising on Kickstarter for a number of reasons. Firstly they have been keeping everyone fully updated about what they've been up to before the campaign launches (which it just has within the last 10 minutes) and secondly, the way that they've planned it.
"We began factory prototyping more than 8 months ago, and since then we've completed multiple rounds of prototypes and revisions with our manufacturing partner. Every miniature has been prototyped, every printed component has been proofed, and we've spent months finding and fixing problems before asking you to back the project."
In addition to this, it isn't their first time fundraising for a project, they've already done it two times before.
Here is their schedule for once the kickstarter ends:
"October 15 — Kickstarter ends
We'll use the following two weeks to finalize quantities, complete the Kickstarter payment process and place our final production order.
First week of November — Manufacturing begins
Miniature production is expected to take approximately six months. Cards, boxes, tokens and other printed components will be manufactured simultaneously and are expected to require less time.
Approximately May 2027 — Manufacturing complete
Once production and final QC are complete, products will be loaded for ocean freight to our regional fulfillment warehouses.
Approximately 60 days — Ocean freight
We're budgeting approximately 60 days for freight, customs and delivery from China to our regional warehouses in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom and Australia.
Approximately 2 weeks — Final fulfillment
Once inventory reaches the regional warehouses, we expect the majority of individual backer shipments to leave the warehouses within approximately two weeks.
That schedule also contains some contingency because international manufacturing and freight can always encounter unexpected delays.
That is a total of 8 months time taking us to completion around June. To give us a bit of extra time for something to go wrong we are going to quote delivery in August 2027 for all products to all backers. The extra 60 days allows for something unforeseen to happen and us still to deliver on schedule.
One Exception: The Wyldwood Source Book
There is one component that isn't completely finished, our premium hardcover Wyldwood Source Book.
The book itself is well underway, but we're still completing several stories and pieces of artwork. We want the book to include dozens great stories a huge number of original artworks and that project needs more time. We expect to finish the design of the sourcebook by December 2026 and put it into printing at that time. Given the book is easy to print (compared to miniatures) we may still be able to ship it along with everything else, but we are highlighting that it could take 1-2 months extra to ship. Adding a source book to your order will not delay the shipping of your other items.
We Want to Set the Standard for How Smooth A Kickstarter Project Can Be
We took the time and the financial risk to build and prototype Wyldwood so that our customers did not have to take risk. We’ve heard a lot recently from many people about horror stories of projects they’ve backed that have gone wrong. We plan for Wyldwood will be the one example everyone else strives to be like.
(All above information is from Brian on their Kickstarter Page)
So now we've got the nitty gritty on what impressed us out of the way lets get down to what it is they're fundraising for:
Stone age fantasy with display scale miniatures, fast and competitive skirmish games with cards decks.
The forest is awakening with the scattered tribes of thinking creatures who cling to caves, river valleys, and shady glens as they learn what it means to endure. They hunt with chipped bone and fire hardened spears, follow the great herds through the forest passes, and vanish into shadow when larger predators stalk too close. Around small flames they trade stories, inventing gods for thunder, spirits for the rising sun and constellations for the great legends of their people. Life here is brutal and brief, and what little culture has begun to take root is shaped by necessity, ritual, and the simple, relentless question of how to see another dawn.
Fast, Balanced and Competitive
Wyldwood is built for fast, tactical, competitive play. Command a warband of 5 Champions and a customized 30-card deck as you battle to be the first to score 10 points across 6 action-packed turns. Easy to get to the table, with the depth to keep every battle challenging.
60mm Display Models
Wyldwood features incredible 60mm display-scale miniatures, making every Champion a centerpiece worthy of your collection. The larger scale creates a unique building and painting experience, while each faction is crowned by a massive Leader model that brings an epic presence to the battlefield.
Build Your Deck, Play Your Way
Every faction has its own collection of beautifully illustrated Command Cards, designed around its unique characters, abilities, and playstyle. Build and customize your 30-card deck to change your strategy, discover new combinations, and make your warband truly your own.
So if like us you're excited for this, you can support the kickstarter here.
All the best,

NEWS: Mental Health Time: Now is the Winter of Our Success - Totally Pawsome
Hail Mighty Readers and Followers of the Luck Gods Math Rocks,
Whilst we the Bernard Hill as King Théoden Meme is a bit of a joke, at this time of year we like to look forward a little and help people out with their mental health. Whilst we're not therapists, one of the things that we do over the Holiday Period is be online for people in case they need someone to talk to, someone to listen to them as, and lets be honest here, many of us don't have the Hallmark Family Holidays that are put across every year with a fair few of us having to spend it alone either for mental health or just because we have no where to go.
This is another reason we're putting together a post like this so early, it gives us all time to prepare as Eddard Stark says, Winter is Coming. If you're a miniature fan, painter and either have a pile of potential or a ton of miniatures that you've been dying to get to. Take the time now to start getting them prepped, snipped, filed and primed and have them ready to tackle over the next few months. Get those paints in that you feel you need, get those brushes you've been promising yourself and lets make this, our winter of miniature fulfilment rather than our one of discontent for not getting things done.
All round, we're going to lead by example, and hope to put together our list of Winter Painting as a PDF, with photo's, regular updates and hope you'll join in and as a fandom, encourage each other to not only talk when down but to take some me time to help get some of your on going projects a little closer to completion.
Thank you for reading and hope you'll join us,
ThunderMouser

NEW RELEASE: Pillage: Carolingian Franks and a little extra - Victrix Ltd.
Hail Mighty Readers, Followers of the Luck Gods Math Rocks,
Hailing from Cumbria, I try to keep an eye out on companies who are bringing out something not only fab but something that a lot of Wargaming/TTRPG people can get behind.
Today, Victrix Limited, creator of the Wargame Pillage, (and based in Kendal), have released yesterday, the brand new Carolingian Franks, both armoured and unarmoured infantry.
Here's what they had to say in their own words:
Carolingian Armoured & Unarmoured Infantry sets are now shipping!
The Franks are finally here! This range represents Carolingian and Frankish warriors from the 8th to the 11th centuries, filling a huge gap in Dark Age plastic miniatures.
The unarmoured infantry started shipping last week, and as promised, the armoured guys were right behind them.
The Carolingian Empire was one of the great powers of early medieval Europe, reaching its height under Charlemagne, who united much of Western and Central Europe and was crowned Emperor in A.D. 800. His reign helped shape the political and military landscape of medieval Europe for centuries to come.
These armoured warriors can represent elite Carolingian infantry or dismounted cavalry. They wear a varied selection of armour, including mail, scale and lamellar, all of which are known to have been used by Carolingian troops.
Weapons include stout spears, many with the distinctive cross guard below the spearhead, along with knives, hand axes and swords. Carolingian swords were highly prized for their quality, combining strength with lightness and excellent craftsmanship.
Clothing typically consisted of a long-sleeved tunic with contrasting decorative borders, often worn with a cloak. Leg bindings were common, while contemporary artwork also depicts the distinctive Carolingian "tulip" style boots.
With a few shield swaps, these figures can also be mixed easily with Victrix Saxons, Vikings and Normans, giving you even more variety for your Dark Age armies. They also work extremely well in fantasy games and settings.
These can be purchased wherever you buy your normal miniatures from or if you prefer, directly from Victrix themselves here.
Our Special Pick
Finally on a separate note, finding quality animals for your TTRPG games can be a real nightmare, Victrix themselves have produced a pack of farm animals that are not only detailed but also fairly priced alongside being printed on sprues.
Drive off your enemy’s livestock or defend your farm from raiders.
This set contains a huge selection of Dark Age and Medieval farm animals perfect for Pillage scenarios, objectives, or adding life and realism to your tabletop. Ideal as lootable livestock in Pillage or as scenery for any historical or fantasy wargame.
What’s included?
104 Farm Animals:
- 16 Sheep
- 8 Goats
- 4 Donkeys
- 4 Horses
- 4 Calves
- 8 Cows
- 20 Chickens
- 24 Geese
- 4 Piglets
- 4 Sows
- 4 Pigs
- 4 Lambs
All the best,
ThunderMouser
