But this time we return with amazingly talented guest sculptors! @gardensofhecate who sculpted Baron Heneberg and an Ancestor, @atelier.ag who sculpted The Jackalope, and our surprise guest, none other than @boris_woloszyn whose insanely amazing sculpt is our largest mini to date!

Project Check-in
about 1 year ago – Tue, Mar 21, 2023 at 10:37:46 AM

Hello everyone, 

It has come to my attention that at least one of you who should have already received your minis have not! I just wanted to check-in with everyone to say that if you still have not received your miniatures to please reach out to me. All of the un-painted minis have been sent out and should have arrived by now so whether there is a hold up a couple of phonecalls can fix or it got lost to the winds and a resend is in order I want to make sure all of you who purchased a set get your set! And for those who already received theirs, I'd love to see any conversions or paintjobs so feel free to reach out or tag me (@7he_Blindman or @Tales_From_Apocrypha) when you show them off!

New Project & A Small Wave 1 Update!
about 1 year ago – Tue, Feb 07, 2023 at 06:03:59 AM

Hey folks! 

As some of you may have noticed I have a new Kickstarter going! 

This is an Apocrypha-adjacent continuation of my fantasy horror world, but all about one thing - cannibalism.

But what can you expect?

An RPG book - Smörgasbörg - a Mörk Borg meal of over 70 pages of original art, classes, resturants, adventures, and more.

6 brand new, hand-sculpted minis meant to live right alongside Apocryphans. 

All of these will be siocasted for a much cleaner, and more durable miniature than those cast from wave 1.

But that's not all... those of you who kept messaging me during wave 1 about Forbidden Psalm will be well rewarded!

Co-written by the man himself - Will Rahman of Wird Designs! Cannibal Country will be an Apocryphan take on bringing all things cannibal in an official Forbidden Psalm expansion. Scenarios and deliciousness inbound!

(And for those hoping for some retroactive rules for wave 1, worry not - while this book is entirely cannibal themed, this is only the start of Apocrypha's forbidden Psalm journey so those will be incoming! And I'll be sure to release those for free to all wave 1 backers as a retroactive way to get those minis on the table.)

Come check us out if you're looking to expand! 

"You citizens called me Ciacco for the damnable sin of gluttony..."  This is a feast worth an eternity of suffering.

Just to give a little update on Wave 1.  All of the unpainted backers have been shipped. So you should either have them or will have them any day now. Those of you who paid for the painting services will be getting your minis within the next couple of weeks. And the posters have been ordered - so I expect to have this first Kickstarter completely wrapped up sometime next month.   Thanks everyone for your continued support!

Finish line and shipping info!
about 1 year ago – Fri, Dec 30, 2022 at 09:20:10 AM

A big happy New Year, nearing the finish line update…

My sincerest gratitude to all of you for your interest in Apocrypha, this was both my first Kickstarter and my first experience casting minis so I learned a lot. I am proud of what I did here, but am excited in how the wrinkles and mistakes this uncovered will mean the next campaign will have smoother shipment and even crisper minis! Thanks to you all, Apocryphan minis have made it around the globe (to 9 different countries!). It’s been wild to be able to see my first casts and to be now sending them so far and wide. So my thanks again on making this first little project a success!

Onto shipping info…

Your journey to Apocrypha begins!

Wave 1 : ALL unpainted minis

These are finally all boxed up and shipping out! Expect them to start popping up on your doorsteps over the next couple of weeks.

I delayed shipping these by a month because my desire for one-part minis (mixed with the home casting style) left some air bubbles and flashing I was unhappy with. So I - and, at the end, my lovely girlfriend - went through clipping and trimming flash and extra bits and adding some greenstuff fixes to any of the air bubbles I found. I appreciate all of you for buying from such an indie sculptor that, while I know the casts weren’t expected to be A-list "game company" perfect, I wanted to make sure as little clean-up as possible was passed onto you.

That said if you have any issues with the minis you receive please reach out!

Happily, I can also say that thanks to the success of this Kickstarter, I am looking into getting our next KS campaign to be injection molded and sprued - so expect professionally crisp casts with artistically ambitious designs.  I want to reward my supporters with even better minis as we go forward!

Wave 2 : The All-In Painted minis

There were a few of you folks who ordered to have your minis hand painted by me, as this will take a bit of time I opted to not delay the first wave (a much larger shipment) out. But will be expecting to ship these out early February.

Wave 3 : POSTERS

This applies to both the free Kickstarter bonus posters, and those of you who purchased additional posters in the pledge manager. These will be sent out the second they come in. So shipping sometime in January!

Honestly, this Kickstarter did everything I hoped it would…it spread the word about Apocrypha, gauged interest, and taught me all about producing minis and sending them around the world.

2022 was the intro to Apocrypha, but 2023 will be MUCH bigger…

More waves, better casts, guest sculptors, and more are coming…

Remember to follow us on either on instagram @tales_from_apocrypha (for all things Apocryphan, miniature and podcast), @7he_blindman (for all things miniatures, Apocrypha or otherwise) or at our website www.talesfromapocrypha.com

The first tasty morsel will be served on Kickstarter this February.

Casts are here!
over 1 year ago – Sun, Nov 27, 2022 at 08:34:11 AM

Hello all, just wanted to share the good news - and the start of the final step. The box of casts are in hand, and the surreal moment of seeing so many casts of my sculpt is here. 

While I have a business trip next week, I just wanted to update you on how shipping will go. 

First wave will be all the unpainted casts, which I am going to be cleaning up on my end first to minimize any flash or fixes to minimize the time from receiving your package and getting it to paint! 

The second and "third" waves (which will likely ship all at once, will be the fully painted sets for those of you who ordered it, and all the posters. Remember, those who didn't order additional posters will still be receiving the kickstart bonus head stack poster!  

Exciting times for all things Apocrypha!

S.B. - I.C. - coming soon...
