No lie, I already have more hippos than I know what to do with, but those bases are gosh darn lovely!

Thannak

Really wish there was females, partly for more PC/NPC options and partly for Moon Knight just kinda making hippo women far more cool. But this is worth sticking around for.

Nuno Faria

These look super detailed and extra creative, I can easily see folks wanting these to paint/play with, myself included! Great stuff indeed!

Robert Lewis

I’m glad I never jumped on any of the other maker’s space hippos yet. So excited to get these printed up for future Spelljammer games!

MaximumBeard

The sculpts are gorgeous as always, but it's a shame I have absolutely zero interest in the subject matter. Oh well.

Masamune

Love your work! -But might have to break my subscription chain for this one, wish there was a bit more variety in the set other than just -all- hippos, as they will probably never be used in my games setting to validate the month's sub. (Just no DM/player interest in them at all.) But I'll be back for the next useful release!

Scott Woods

Would've preferred a set with a mix of anthropomorphic characters rather than every shade of Hippo...

GameNight

I'm glad to see the variety not only in classes, but within each class/role. I'd prefer this going forward as a type of set. Base the set off of one race and just give them options. Maybe not every time, but it is a nice change. I also prefer the focus on miniatures this time.

I’m a bit confused by this release. Cast’n’Play has always released Fantasy miniatures. I understand you have another sci-if focused group (Nebula) but they have a separate MMF presence. This seems like a Nebula release, not Cast’n’Play. Are we to expect a mix of SciFi and fantasy in the future? Please clarify if this is a new direction for this Patreon, because it’s a big change!

Nicholas

this is awesome. I love it!

I'm down for hippos for a month 😁curious to see what throwbacks are going to work with them...maybe the void or the cosmic horror release? I never got cosmic and only have a few models as throwbacks

Michael Abraham

They have dabbled in the past with some other themes, cosmic horror and fear the void are two that I can think of

A slice from my day: I log into Patreon to see if any of the ones I support have updated yet to tell us what's coming next month. Oh, look! A new post from CnP. Let's see what's in it! Then, I see the title and teaser images from the video, "Huppus, Space Mercenaries." SPACE mercenaries? Ugh. I have NO need for hippos in space. But that Manta thing DOES look cool. Let's take a peek at the video. Oh! NOT "Space" miniatures. These are CnP's take on Giff. I always hated Giff. This is going to suck. Then every new model/unit that came across the screen managed to be somehow better than the one before it. "Oh. Wow!" "Oh, Cool!" Dude!" So, I'm REALLY getting into it when I see them... OPTIONS FOR DIFFERENT HANDS! Oh, my miniature-printing GAWD! I don't know WTF I'm going to do with them, but I need to print an entire army and find a way to incorporate them into 40k. Hmm... A proxy IG army? The Emperor's River Horses? Hippos of Khorne CSM proxies? I don't know, but it's gonna be EPIC!

I read the preview title and was really disappointed, as I didn't think I would ever use these models in my dnd games. I watched the preview video, and now I HAVE to use these models in my dnd games. This is awesome!

3D Guy

Unfortunately, your comment is far too long. Be more reserved. You have a lot to learn, kiddo. 😒🤡

3D Guy

No idea what I'll use these for but I think they're cool! Modular hands, right?

Darren Williams

You’ve nailed this …. Like other commenters I was initially of the mindset that I don’t need space hippos but having seen these then I have to get them into my game. Looking to run Tomb of Annihilation in the New Year for a group and there is going to be some crash landed Giff on the island …. Awesome job.

castnplay

I'm sorry to hear that. We'll be doing a Dragonborn army for our next set to keep things balanced.

castnplay

Thanks for the feedback! We're experimenting a bit, as you could tell, and are very happy with the results. The set after this will be a huge Dragonborn army structured in a way that is similar to this, but with a couple of improvements we found along the way would benefit the set.

AuWiMo

I had the same thoughts as the other commenters Step 1: Freaking hippos with guns, not gunna buy this stupid crap Step 2: Wow there are actually SO MUCH VARIATION and so many without guns that work in my world, and the models are all STUNNING Step 3: Dude, dont buy this, you dont need a crap ton of hippos. You dont need hippos Step 4, 3 hours later: dang those hippos do be cool tho Step 5, now 6 hours later: *Buys the incredible dope and varied hippos*

Matt Shober

This set is a homerun imo. If you just went through every lineage from D&D and/or Pathfinder and made a set like this for each of them, that would be perfect. Great work!
