Diehard Miniatures Fantasy Miniatures

Diehard Miniatures is a collaboration of the sculptors Chaz Elliott, Tim Prow, Drew Williams and the concept artist Richard Luong. The range was launched in late 2015 with a Kickstarter campaign. Initially, the range was to consist of nine factions with three miniatures each but positive feedback on the Diehard Miniatures Facebook page resulted in the production of more Eru-kin and Snakeman miniatures. The miniatures were cast by The Mouldmaker.

"Our aim is to give you high quality sculpts with more than a nod to the past. I have hundreds of old metal based figures, I love them for what they mean to me, and for reminding me of when I first got into gaming. Looking at them now and comparing them to modern figures, well let’s just say skills and techniques have come a long way. We would like to bring out a range of figures merging the old feel with the new look."

Eru-Kin

Eru-kin are the stranded members of a spacefaring race. Cut off from their empire they are forced to fight to make a place for themselves in their new – more primitive – home.

The original Eru-kin are known as the Pureborn (or Purebloods), and the nobler among them still retain their former high-tech weapons and equipment. Little of the equipment still functions but the advanced materials offer greater protection than the materials that can be forged in their new home.

The Tech Mages are the few remaining engineers who have adapted what technology remains to make new equipment and to breed new slave species to fill roles once carried out by the Eru-kins powerful machines.

The Breed are Eru-kin who have born since the stranding. The use a mixture of scavenged pieces of old tech and whatever can be forged from the materials available in their new home.

The Troglodytes have been selectively bred by the Tech Mages from a native species of lizardman. Once roughly human sized, they are now larger, stronger and much more aggressive than their original form. Their masters equip them in basic armour and with large crude copies of Eru-kin weapons.

The Eru-kin would prove to be so popular that they spawned an Eru-Kin Expansion Kickstarter.
