Ever since sculpting my first figure over ten years ago, I’ve dreamt about making miniatures a full time job. Over the years I’ve come close. First with freelance sculpting and more recently by creating Effigy Miniatures. I’m thrilled to announce that this dream has finally come true!Link: Effigy Miniatures
However this job is with another company. So while I’m excited about this new opportunity, there is a bittersweet side. I’ll no longer be able to operate Effigy Miniatures and will be closing down the website on December 1, 2013.
With that I’m announcing Effigy Miniatures FINAL clearance sale! Everything from the core Effigy lines (including Havoc Protocol, Sellswords and the Limited Editions) is marked down 40% from now until the closing date. So swing by the online store and pick up these minis while you still can.
Thanks again to all the fans who have supported Effigy over the years.
The Founders - These personalities are the politicians, magnates, and executives who helped form the System and continue to shape it. I was thrilled to have my good friend Aaron Minier develop the designs for these important non-combatants. Be sure to check out his illustration work HERE and if you want to find out why "Fantasy is Dead", take a look at his comic, Black Rose.
Welcome to System Enforcement, cadet, the final defense against galactic collapse. Ceti-Victora is in total disarray—ruined husks of starships litter the solar system, and renegade pirates fight for whatever precious resources can be found on the savage surfaces of the inner planets or the solar wastelands of the Wreck. In turn, a Havoc Protocol has been issued, and your squad is heading to the front lines…Link: Campaign on Kickstarter
The Havoc Squad represents the only force willing and able to meet the numerous threats facing the System. Soldiers, specialists, commandos, the Havoc Squad are known throughout the system as the only ones willing and able to fight, and in their hands rest the fate of the human race.
It's been a little over a month since this great community of gamers helped launch Effigy Miniatures into existence with a very successful Kickstarter campaign. Now that all the rewards have shipped out, I'm happy to announce that Effigy Miniatures online store is open for business.
Currently, all 5 of the original figures (both pewter and resin) offered during the Kickstarter campaign are available to purchase. There are also several other miniatures in the works which I will be posting updates for early in the new year.
So if you missed out on any of these great minis during the Kickstarter campaign or want to pick up some of the new releases in the coming months, be sure to head on over and check out the shop.
Thanks again to everyone who continues to support Effigy!

As a preview, I've attached concept art for the Drone and Little Knife. Progress picks will be posted in future updates so you guys can see how they are coming along. If all goes according to play both miniatures should be ready to mold along with the original five.
Oh and before I forget. It's hard to tell, as the Drone is drawn in a side view, but the miniature will have two arms. Here's my question for all of you. Should the Drone have 2 claw hands OR 1 claw hand and 1 utility/weapon arm? Post a comment to this update to cast your vote.
The first wave of sculpts is already complete, but there's still work ahead and many more sculpts under development. That's where you, and Kickstarter, can help. The funds you pledge will go directly to offset the production costs of the initial release and other expenses involved in starting a miniatures company. By successfully funding this project you will ensure the release of the first five miniatures in the Effigy line and get things rolling for the next wave of minis. However, the more the project is sponsored the faster the line will grow, making more and more great miniatures available to you.
