Nine Worlds
This Kickstarter has 21 days to go. Do you need vikings? If so, this is the Kickstarter for you! It starts out with Vikings… Imagine the scene from The Matrix when he gets “guns, lots of guns” but instead of guns, you get viking miniatures. That is what the core of this Kickstarter is. The first stretchgoal has been reached, an incredible looking Fire Jotnar. there are also some longhouses and barricades unlocked. Also, as part of the core rewards is a great looking longship and an encampment full of scatter terrain.

The Spaceships 3.0 was on one of the other accounts.

Townbuilder Unlimited
This Kickstarter has 37 days to go. After a very rocky start on their last version of this Kickstarter, they pretty much hit it out of the park with what they learned. It’s a very cool idea where they have a number of pieces that you put together to create a building you need, and then the STL file is exported to be printed. (Think along the lines of Hero Forge, except for buildings). They are currently crushing their stretch goals making this an even better value for the money. Check it out.

This Kickstarter is in LATE PLEDGE. BattleFX is back, this time with a fantasy theme. Spells, traps, condition markers, and more! This is another very unique Kickstarter from Deadly Print Studios.

There are not a lot of what I would call “universal” Kickstarters out there, but this is one of them. If you play fantasy games, and use fantasy miniatures, the spell effects look awesome.

Along with the normal stretch goals you see, there are a good number of social media stretch goals as well.

This Kickstarter has finished. Meeples, Ill Gotten Games entry into the “simple” miniature market. This time, they are all in on Sci-Fi adventurers.

With Meepleverse, you get some simple terrain and buildings, and several “Meeple” to print. As stretch goals are unlocked, we’ll see more meeples for the peoples. (sorry couldn’t resist).

Cool 3D STL files of car miniatures
This Kickstarter has finished. This is an interesting Kickstarter that features a ton of small cars for various board games that feature cars. I used to play Formula De, and this would have been awesome back then. These are all small scale so probably all print best on resin based 3D printers.
