This collection was a small ten figure Kickstarter from Midlam Miniatures. Like other small manufacturers they are now regularly testing a new range on Kickstarter before commencing manufacture. I like their work but until this starter there was nothing I was really interested in. It was not that cheap at about AU$6.00 per figure but having spent so much time on the Monastery during the “Season of Scenery” , I thought it needed to be populated by some monks despite it’s dilapidated condition.

“The Monks of Midlam live apart from the folk of the City, and yet the cloistered world of spirituality is intertwined with the more earthy demands of Midlam as they provide healing and shelter to travellers to the city as well as conducting ceremonies at Midlam Cathedral.

The Monks also trade well in livestock, grain and other goods.  This brings them into conflict with the Great Merchant powers, who resent their unique position, a result of charters granted to them by ancestors of the Baron of Midlam.

Many others look enviously upon the Abbey with it’s great store of wealth.  Cults, other faiths and even other branches of the same faith, seek to undermine the Abbey’s spiritual wealth or seek to gain access to the powerful relics and esoteric information held within the scriptorium. ” From the Kickstarter “blurb”.
