Dead Man’s Hand: Neuer Kickstarter
Great Escape Games machen eine neues Plastik-Set für US-Kavallerie vorab per Kickstarter verfügbar.
Dead Man’s Hand – HARD PLASTIC US CAVALRY – 28mm scale
Hello again! We are Great Escape Games and we are launching this Kickstarter to bring 28mm scale, hard plastic Dismounted US Cavalry miniatures to your gaming tables. These are all physical products. There are no STL files.
This KS campaign offers this set to you early (general release is in January) and at a lower price. This set will be £18 at launch, they are here on the KS at £15 a set. We won’t be shipping the boxes with your sets to ensure we get them to you before the end of 2025. All sets and miniatures come with 25mm round plastic bases.
We’ll have a few snazzy Stretch Goals over the 10 day campaign and free bonus Legend characters (metal miniatures) at the higher Pledge Levels.
And to answer the obvious, we are working on the mounted set. It will be out in the first half of 2026.
To adjust your pledge to add stuff, just hit the „Manage your pledge“ button and add the amount you wish. So, if you’re a £65 Captain pledge and want to add an unlocked Legend character (£4), just adjust your pledge up to £69.
In the Pledge Manager following the end of the campaign and the payment processing period, you will get access to the Pledge Manager with your unique code.
Let’s have a look at the miniatures? The multipart plastics can be put together to create either US Cavalry or Buffalo Soldiers Factions from Dead Man’s Hand. If you don’t play Dead Man’s Hand but just want to get your hands on the figures and are not sure what we mean when we say US Cavalry or Buffalo Soldiers, we simply mean that you can put the figures together to make any of the US Cavalry Regiments, from the 1st to the 10th. The parts include specific Sergeant arms with stripes and a sabre, a bugle arm, enough carbine arm pairs for each figure on the sprue to be armed that way along with the same number of pistol armed options. As well as those parts there are two heads so Native American Scouts can be made, some water bottles, pistol holsters, a cactus and even a Beagle!
Here is a look at the frame from both sides:
Each set includes two frames of plastic miniatures and 25mm round bases. Each set makes 10 dismounted US Cavalry miniatures.
Here’s a selection of miniatures that have been put together from the frame. The five at the top could be used as US Cavalry in Dead Man’s Hand, they represent troopers from the 1st – 8th Cavalry. The second row of figures are Buffalo Soldiers form Dead Man’s Hand, they represent troopers from the 9th and 10th Cavalry.
Here they are painted.
Some stretch goals will be added for free at the pledge levels and these are indicated in the description. Others are available by just adding the indicated amount to your pledge, or by selecting them in the Pledge Manager following the conclusion of the campaign. As you can see from the images below some of these figures have already been created and some are in the process of being sculpted. As we progress through development of the various miniatures we will keep you updated.
