Unboxing Moonstone - Firespitter and Baron Von Fancyhat

Goblin King Games some time ago ran a Kickstarter for a single model, that ended up as two models which would potentially be the beginnings of a range for a fantasy miniatures game called 'Moonstone'. Fortunately the initial Kickstarter was well enough received for them to launch a second one which will hopefully expand the range of models considerably.

A fortunate piece of timing has meant that my pledge arrived just in time for me to give you a look at the original models before their new Kickstarter launches on the 17th of October. Details of this upcoming Kickstarter event will appear at the bottom of this feature...but first...

The two models created for the original Kickstarter were 'Firespitter' and 'Baron Von Fancyhat'...lets look at Firespitter first...

Firespitter

The model comes in a nice presentation box and the resin model within is well packed between two substantial pieces of foam to prevent damage during transportation. It also comes with a handy little guide to working with resin models and a basic set of assembly instructions. In anticipation of the upcoming skirmish game 'Moonstone' this model also comes with a double sided stat card.

Here's pictures of both sides of the parts in their unassembled form.

Firespitter - Assembled

The model consists of relatively few parts with the main body of the model being two parts with the arms being separate. The small goblin working the bellows is in two pieces and the larger and smaller figures are joined by a thin piece of tubing. The joining 'pipe' is the only fiddly part of the model as it has relatively small attachment points but as long as you're careful and don't mind holding the part in place for a bit it goes together just fine. The 'Mushroom' on the base doesn't come with the kit but was purchased separately via the aforementioned Kickstarter. The model comes with a 40mm base.

Baron Von Fancyhat

This model also comes in a nice presentation box and the resin model within was equally well packed between two pieces of foam. It also came with a handy little guide to working with resin but as this is identical to the one with 'Firespitter' I haven't bothered to picture it again. In anticipation of the upcoming skirmish game 'Moonstone' this model also comes with a double sided stat card.

The majority of this model is the body with both arms being separate as well as the head and the scabbard at his belt. All attachment points are more than adequate and I had no assembly issues with the model at all. It also comes with a slotted 30mm base though I've removed the piece from the model that slots into it so I could put the model on something a bit more scenic.

Mushrooms

The mushrooms I've used on the bases of the above models were also a Kickstarter purchase so in the interests of completeness here's a pic of them...

Upcoming Moonstone Kickstarter

The next Kickstarter is to be launched on the 17th of October and some artwork and a new model have already been shown. Their Facebook page can be found here and the Kickstarter 'Launch' event page can be located here. It's definitely going to be worth a look...

Thoughts and comments are (as usual) most welcome.
