Delayed Mierce Darklands: New Kindreds

[CashWiley]

Yep, wasn't sure about those and so far it looks amazing. Good job on holding it back until it was at an awesome stage, because that is a damned epic tree man. I'll just pretend the oldhammer didn't happen.

Can't wait to see these sculpted:

 

 

and Dairdubh and Grisly Araigh

See I worry about the special treeman there as the Bain Beast Trent isn't to my taste at all and looks rather cartoony. I was worried the others would look like that which is why I held back from buying them.

That huge spider could be amazing.

The treeman is great. :)

[Trodax]

I like the treeman too, I might end up buying. One is likely to be enough for me though, won't need a full unit.

[Grefven]

If I were into large army wargaming, I could see a full unit of them. I like Fancagne Didier, he did a good job with this one, and I like that Mierce brought him in. :)

It's Friday yet again... where on earth does the time go?

This week we have:

• sculpt work in progress updates from Aragorn Marks, Juan Navarro Pérez and Valentin Zak;

an updated list of sculptors and sculpts for this project;

the latest snippet of the Darklands: First Edition rules;

news of where you can download the current QuickStarter Rules, Muster Rules andKindred Musters from the Mierce Miniatures website;

...and anything else you can expect from us over the next few months.

Here we go...

This week it's Érainn (Valentin Zak), Jutes (Aragorn Marks) and Ysians (Juan Navarro Pérez)! Woot!

The Men of Clochar are just about complete - well, the first five, anyway. The two alternates will be a bit of a longer wait...

The banner bearer, Dara, is particularly characterful...

We love that stern face!

The first warrior, Brian, is a bit mental.

With a skip and a hop and a jump, he'll chop your head off!

The last of the warriors, Colm, is a bit calmer than Brian - but you still wouldn't spill his pint.

The Men of Clochar should make it into Wave 7!

The mighty Aragorn Marks of Third Man Studios has begun work on the first ever Jute miniature from Mierce Miniatures... Gol Gul, the Barrow Spider! It's early days, but you can see it's going to be fantastic...

We're so excited, we almost wet ourselves. Wave 7, here Gol Gul comes...

The first alternate unit warriors - for the Axes of Carn Maen - are here, too, thanks to the awesome Juan Navarro Pérez (who originally sculpted the Ax-Drunes of course).

First up it's Drano, converted from the banner bearer, Branok...

He's looking great!

Dinorg has been converted from the herald, Canan! His bottom axe needs removing but he's getting there...

These two guys will definitely make it into Wave 7!

We've had a few issues with our website's server, and so we extended the deadline for removing the Miniature Combinations, Host Combinations and Other Kindred Hosts from the Mierce Miniatures website to Monday, April the 6th... but that's only three days away!

We've postponed this for a couple of months (they were originally due to be removed in January) thanks to many requests, but it has to be done at some point - and that point is now.

So, in a nutshell:

I really better look over everything and see what I need.  :-)

[SamuraiJack]

Last Day to order Wave 6 items.. 

[MonkeySloth]

Tidbit from Rob about the rules
 

 

 

The rules will be downloadable shortly in full, although diagrams, graphics and fluff aren't done yet. As for "no more Darklands until the book is done"... you'll understand more when this project goes live.

 

And also an announcement of a next KSer next week.

 

Very limited on funds but I think I'll need to see if I can get this guy here 

 

[CashWiley]

Pic not showing.

 

If it's Chaudon's newest beauty...I agree. And I was quickly trying to do maths to make it work but can't :(

[MonkeySloth]

Apparently the rumors going around are the next KSer, called Metal Age, is going to be for switching some of the line to metal and doing starter boxes for retail.

[CashWiley]

Interesting choice. Seems they've been struggling with resin costs, there was some talk in the KS comments about it a day or two ago. Seems odd to me, but I know almost nothing about it. I know I've had a few more defects (both my skyclad Itainas have miscast faces) and maybe they're shaken up by a month delay from their one guy getting sick?

 

It's an odd world when Trollcast is rising in production and Mierce is backing off...
