RAFM has announced a Kickstarter campaign that'll start next week. The object is to expand on their Airship Pirates line of minis.

"RAFM Airship Pirates Miniatures have been available since May of 2012. The product line started with 32mm miniatures of the six Abney Park band members. Since then the line has grown to eleven miniatures. However we wish to upgrade this product line by adding new miniatures to it. Silver Fox Productions Inc. will launch their new fundraising program for RAFM Airship Pirates Miniatures at kickstarter.com.

Look for this program going live on Wednesday October 15, 2014! Check our our website at rafm.com or visit us on Facebook at RAFM Airship Pirate Miniatures to get updates.

Our Kickstarter looks to build on our past fundraising programs by being affordable, have shipping included, be EU friendly, and get new figures sculpted…"

Now if they had a full color poster of deck plans of a couple of different ship types, that would add to the fun!

Best of luck to them, advertising the kick starter is the key.

A sale on the RAFM Space 1889 range could maybe bring some extra cash in? ;)

I agree, A sale on RAFM would generate some $$$,
especially a sale on the Martian Colonial Inf, I need some 40 of these guys.

I have the rpg but never played it. Maybe they can also make some airship miniatures.

You do realize that they are of the real life music group Abney Park right?

32mm?

Why not 15mm from the start?

Airship Pirates as an RPG is missing rules – I've been in a campaign of it. You need Victoriana as well in order to make it workable.

This discussion took place on Facebook. See here link

For those not on Facebook, the gist was that the game was good fun for a RPG but the ship to ship combat was difficult and unorganized. It was however considered a complete game by many.

tkdguy14 Oct 2014 7:51 p.m. PST

Yes, the miniatures are those of the band members. Keep in mind the rpg was based on the different songs written and performed by Abney Park.
