Science Fiction Battles

Tolkien-Inspired Battles

Martin-Inspired Battles

Historical - Antiquity (Greece, Rome)

Historical - Medieval - Vikings

A mix between fantasy and historic whould be a great game changer. Flintloque, for example, for those Who love fantasy and napoleonic (Temerarie saga has sold well). Peloponnesiac War Bronze Age genasi . Ww1 orcs trench troopers. Ww2 Elven paratroopers 30 years War swedish Giants and goblins .

Shaun Watson

Fantasy Napoleonics like Flintloque & Temeraire etc

Turlough Lennon

If you did some.middle earth I would die from happiness

Deturnation

I'd be interested in WW1 actually, there is not much to choose from in physical, only 3-4 companies and there is only 1 for 28mm specific in 3d print, that has like 20 designs. 30 Years War sounds also good to me. But from the list I'd go with Napoleonic then.

Curious to see Tolkien mentioned alongside Classic fantasy because Tolkien inspired so so soooo much of what we today consider classic fantasy. Personally I love what you do for fantasy already and I'd love to see you expand into doing more and more of what you already do. Perhaps using resources to bolster your monthly releases with more models or get more armies out or do more kickstarters to release larger blocks of armies in one go. That said if you wanted to branch out in a slightly tangent creative direction then doing heroes and RPG style models for the various factions you've already developed (and ones you will make in the future) would be a really neat way to do something different with named characters, heroes and such within your world setting whilst having them tie into your regular armies. Even if they are just used as alternate sculpts for leaders/troops in armies it gives people who are existing fans something to collect and also take your models from wargame to RPG; plus you can flesh out the story of your own world setting and more!

Douglas Craig

How about something like the people, nations, monsters of Elric of Melnibone?

Eduardo Nuñez

Eso quiere decir que dejaran su línea actual? Me gustaría algo sobre napoleonicos tanto históricos como fantásticos. Igual sería interesante algo de WW2 de ejércitos poco cubiertos por otras empresas como finlandeses, rumanos, húngaros, etc. Los productos actuales para esos ejércitos en 3D son casi inexistentes.

Richard Winters

Please not more Tolkien, middle earth stuff it seem like every one and his uncle does it, it would be nice to see more historical stuff from saxons to late medieval

Toggers

gothic horror - but also include Napoleonic mix for silver bayonet warbands

Brian Orban

I think there would be customer interest in High Fantasy-Inspired Battles.

David

Ww1 - 1920's inspired fantasy setting could be interesting

Will Reynolds

Please keep doing what you do as well ❤️‍🩹

David

If you do historical stuff, it would be fantastic if it's compatible with the fantasy range - the kitbashes would be amazing! Also, if doing antiquity or Vikings, adding mythological elements to it woukd be really cool. Otherwise, I feel there's already enough purely historical stuff out there. Meanwhile, if you do more fantasy but simply draw more heavily from antiquity or viking or other pre-modern historical eras, you have much more creative freedom

Duncan Gledhill

I fully respect your desire to branch out, but what you are doing at the moment is fantastic with flavoured twists on GW armies - please don't stop with this theme, you guys are doing amazing work qnd I love it

Bhaal72516

I would be highly interested in 10mm Napoleonic ...similiar in quality what Cromarty Forge is doing with ist romain range

Cristian Cooney

I recently discovered HarnWorld (via Republic of Tharda KS) and their descriptions of the multiple different kingdoms’ military, religions, magic schools, tribes, Groguns (goblins/orc), and medieval inspired bestiary would provide endless sculpting inspiration. And since HarnWorld is rules agnostic multiple rule sets can be used. I plan to run both RPG and tabletop battle campaigns in it.

Tonny

I would prefer a faster design schedule for your current patreon. So the waiting times for i.e Fallen Lineage, Nevarra (duke on hippogryph), more wood / high elves would be shorter instead of adding another patreon. Anyway I voted for all the historical stuff, Middle Earth and Classic Fantasty.

N Wood

Hopefully the classic fantasy ones will work well with Frostgrave!

Scott Woods

I would personally love to see what you could do with the many 40K Imperial Guard regiments...

Malhorme

Role playing minis: i love individual minis with character and options.

Malhorme

And wwii, even if it is already quite busy, we cant get enought of it. Finally, role palying mini set in ancient greece! I want this: lead a amazon small party against a persian outpost!

Mooseworks Plastic Soldiers

FDM miniature printing has vastly improved. Perhaps consider a support free model range and expand your terrain.

Alexander

Commercial viability is obviously not a consideration when you look at the vote tally. The absolutely saturated (and then some) fantasy rpg market gets most votes? Still people that want 40k, despite the 100 designers that already do this? I hope Last Sword seriously considers commercial viability in their choice, I would hate to see this new adventure drag the quality/quantity of the current patreon down...

Pierre Sommet

D&d and warhammer minis begin to be a little boring due to many creation of talented company and sculptors who made them on mmf or patreon. Can you makr orher propositions ? I really enjoy are entries in other fantasy universe, like the michael moorcock series of Hawkmoon. Just see the potential of ganbretan beast masked or mutant armies, or antical magical minis from the lunar empire in the glorantha universe. The Gw Aos and warcry range give some interesting entries of original concept too.

Overread

A thought to consider - what about 60-80s style fantasy characters/heroes? Opens you up to a broader swathe of creative options than say a single established system (Martin/Lord of the Rings) and gives you scope to do stuff that's still fantasy but with an old-school style to it as opposed to more modern/newer designs (which even Tolkien has kind of leaned into with the modern films defining how a lot of people now see the characters and world). You could go full armies or characters/heroes and it gives you something that's fresh and different for the 3d creative space

Even

If you ever consider making a fantasy football team I'm sure it would be well received too. Your posing skills would really shine there

Jacob Danielson

A switch to MESBG offerings would bring that community over which is definitely not insignificant. We're especially into 3d printing because of the non existant GW support. And I dont think you'd have to change your style that much

Saviny

I think you excel at theatrical display of regiments. That it what separates you from other creators. It would be best to focus on those „theatrical” displays of miniatures in a group. The theme doesn’t matter I suppose? As long as you play to that strength.

Painting Knights

some "Martin" inspired figures would be great ! some difirentnt sculpts compared to the cmon ones would be great ?

Reid Zalewski

I think a series of retro sci-fi figures would be an interesting creative break from our usual style, and your eyes for detail would make such a range particularly stand-out.

Oli

Warycry or Mordheim model proxies would be great (for the classic role playing miniatures)

David Novák

Maybe you will be hate me. But i think this poll its little bit wrong. Because everybody imagine different view. Whats Classic Fantasy Role-Playing miniatures? For me its D&D. Not Mordheim or Warcry or GW RPG. Whats Science Fiction Role-Playing miniatures? I can imagine only GW RPG from W40k and Start Trek RPG. Its Science Fiction Battles W40k or something else. Sorry for that, but i think, when this poll must be little bit more specific, because everybody imagine something else. Personaly i vote for Tolkien, because its sad, when great game like MESBG dont have support of GW and have old models.

Andrea

Historical and Tolkien inspired

Vincenzo Gatta

I voted for 4 things, too many tasty choices on the menu 😁

Roger Liarte

I would love to see you expand your fantasy miniatures, maybe renew your Lizardmen? 😜

Jesse Glew

i cant vote is the poll closed?

Oli

Can i suggest developing proxy ranges for Kislev and Cathay! GW announced they are not looking to bring these to the tabletop and the community is asking for them (they literally have lore pages in the new rulebook, getting expansions in TW Warhammer3, and there are loads of home-brews and older kislev rules, these two races would do sooooooo well)

War Mammoth

I second Oli's suggestion! Kislev and Cathay concepts please as per Total War W*rhammer!

Cson

Legend of the 5 Rings series?
