I recently a long time ago (I really should finish and publish articles quicker...) started playing an RPG called Humblewood, and being who I am I wanted a miniature to represent my character. I'm playing as a fox so had been looking around for something fitting.
I watch a lot of hobby content on Youtube and there was one guy in particular who provided the answer, Burrows and Badgers!
The Youtuber in question is Magrathea Builder of worlds, you can find him here

He focuses on terrain making videos, mainly for games like Necromunda, Lord of the rings and Burrows and Badgers.
I quickly found the fox miniature I wanted and while I was there... I ended up picking up a starter warband as well because the minis looked really fun to paint. I had recently sold a few things personally so I had a bit of spare cash in my hobby fund so I picked up the rule book as well!
So here are the minis I picked up as well as the dice which came with the starter warband.
Sparrow warrior. I really like the style of the way this bird is mounted onto its base, it can often be tricky to pose flying models. I like all the extra details across this mini, with sword and shield and a pouch.
There is a slight mould line running down the shield and left wing, this was fairly easy to remove however with a few minutes work with a hobby file.
I think the face of this bird is really expressionate, which for a bird is impressive. I think it will be interesting to paint, I will have to finally learn how to paint eyes for sure!
Rabbit archer. This is a really neat mini there are a couple of points which required a little clean up such as where the bottom of the bow is attached to the rabbits knee.
The quiver is closed which is really nice, not something I've often seen on archer miniatures.
There is a slightly unfortunate mould line across the eye here, luckily it's not too big and I was able to file it away without losing any detail.
Squirrel ranger has a really nice pose readying an arrow about to aim. I really like the way the tail feels front and centre and a highlighted part of the mini by having it across the front.
Shrew-zerker is simply an awesome mini. Tons of character in this little guy.
Slight mould lines can be seen on the arm armour which file off really easily.
Mouse nun. A pretty simple character but very nicely executed.
Otter pirate. Well... this sculpt is simply fantastic! What's not to like? Otter and pirate! My five year old loves this mini and I look forward to using it in our games in the future.
Mouse burglar. This little guy came free with the rulebook which was pretty neat. It's a really nice character concept and I think it will work great for narrative scenarios.
Fox rogue. Well this is the mini which incited the whole purchase! Such a cool and dynamic sculpt, I'm really impressed with this. I think it will be a lot of fun to paint, though I think it will be quite challenging.
Over all I think these are some fantastic miniatures with tons of character. Even if you have no intention of playing Burrows and badgers these minis are well worth buying just to paint. I've been working my way through painting these in the time since I started writing this review. (I really do need to get quicker at my turn around)
