Eldritch Foundry is a miniatures project born in 2019 on Kickstarter that has completed its campaign by collecting ten times the initial amount requested. Success was followed by the opening of the current site, the heart of their work.
Miniatures for all tastes … Or almost
Thanks to their platform it is in fact possible to do what all of us role-playing players love: create our personalized miniature! The layout of the site is very attractive and reminiscent of classic video games, such as Baldur’s Gate. The selection among the available parts includes numerous races, weapons, armors, clothes, various accessories and even poses. To be honest the choice is vast even if not exaggerated but, being Eldritch Foundry still young, we expect a continuous evolution in this sense.
A useful section of the site allows you to save your models for future orders. At the moment the only available format is the 34mm one, but here too we expect a greater choice in the future. The cost of each miniature is $35 (approximately €31.50), an honest price for this type of product.
According to what they say, one of their strengths is precisely the quality of the print, presented as superior to that of the competition. In fact, the team uses 3DSystems‘ devices, which is one of the main American companies in the sector. Thanks to the latest generation 3D printers, they promise 32 micron miniatures, insted of the 50 micron among most services of this type (for about 40% higher quality).
In addition that each piece is inspired to wonderful 2D images (visible on the site), granting a truly remarkable artistic sector.
Real people, not abstract presences behind a screen
The team behind this project immediately proved to be very friendly, serious and close to users. Their approach is based on transparency and they keep in direct contact with their followers also through their Facebook page.
Alternatively, they also offer an affiliate program with the requesting shops. In this way they can allow to customize and sell the miniatures even in non-virtual environments and the shopkeepers can offer unique customizations such as the logo of their business.
To confirm their “social” nature, on the site you can also read about collaborations free of commercial interests. To strengthen the community they also offer to establish relationships to bring this wonderful passion to schools or other environments. Commendable!
