Delayed Mierce Darklands: New Kindreds

[Knight of the Dinner Table]

I'm a bit relieved that other people also are not sure about what a certain pledge level gets them. Maybe it's because I'm not a native speaker, but the descriptions of the pledge levels and what they get you are not always 100% clear to me ...

[Dan d'Lyon]

I'm happy to help if you need to know what each pledge level gets you.  Maybe I can put my own graphic together this weekend.  I'll see what I can do.  Not sure I'll have time to put that together, but I can certainly try to answer questions.

There's always some confusion as Rob tends to start out strict on what each pledge gets and then loosens up as people ask him too.

 

Case in point, all the pledges for 3x start hosts (new or old) can be mixed and matched. Plus now if you spend $220 you get a free mini instead of just the people that bought x number of hosts.

 

There's a fan made "pledge manager" that pops up occasionally. It's just a program to help you figure out what you get for your money. Next time I see it I'll post it here.

I'm pretty damn tempted by this, and think I might almost have decided to yet one more time whet my toes in Mierce just a little. Of the new Kindred, the Jutes are calling me. But the Norse infantry starter is looking pretty sweet as well; I've kind of been meaning to add the Hrafnen crew at some point, don't own Hrokr, and Knutr is fantastic. Ditto with both Angelcynn starters actually; they're packed with stuff I've been eyeing but have not yet purchased. Damn.

[Dan d'Lyon]

Yeah, just SO MUCH want!  I don't need more snake dudes, but at that price I almost can't resist.

[MonkeySloth]

I'm resisting so far outside of one starter. I can't keep the pace of spending so much every 6 months on one of their KSers even if they are good deals.

[Dan d'Lyon]

Same for me.  And considering that I have several hundred....ummm I mean 20, already unpainted and unassembled Mierce minis I'm really going to try to keep things in check this time.

[MonkeySloth]

Jute monstrous infantry started was shown off in the comments. I'm quite happy as I have no interest in it.

 

 

in the spoiler tag is the look at new monstrous infantry starters for existing kindred.

The Jutes is the one I'm interested in. Still, not something I'm going to pledge for today I think, but I might want to add it when I see the sculpts. The other monstrous starters are an easy pass for me; most of what I'm interested in I already have, or have on order, and I'm not too fussed about these project exclusive variants. In fact, I'm kind of feeling that they're taking the exclusives a bit too far this time. I liked them in KS2.5, where there was basically one per kindred, but here it feels like they are all over the place.

[MonkeySloth]

I like some of the exclusives and will get a few. The nice thing about Mierce is you can buy things all the way up until it ships so I'm holding out for more sculpts too on a few things.

[SamuraiJack]

I'm guessing that spider sculpt will be magnificent.. i doubt I'll plunk more than my $10 place holder pledge before it ends, but I've been wrong before..

[Dan d'Lyon]

I LOVE the original Jutes infantry starter.  This monstrous one is alright, but not "ooooh...shiny".  Although a spider on a 120mm base is going to be a sight to behold, I think.  I'm not excited at all about the Atlantes or the Erainn.  So that's good.

[araziel]

I like how we're all really happy when we don't instantly love something new from Mierce. Loving a sculpt is usually a good thing

 

I'm also mostly interested in a few of the alternates that's popped up, some look seriously wicked. Also I'd really like to get my hands on the banner-bearer-into-warrior bits later on. I doubt I'll ever really play Darklands but I'll use these for RPGs. Monsters running around with banners don't happen all that often.

[MonkeySloth]

Ya the Erainn monsters don't look interesting to me. I'll need to wait and see. The Atlantian one does, however, but I don't care that much for the humans (while I do the Erainn).

 

Anywho

 

Erainn monsters

 

 

 

 

 

 

Atlantian

 

 

 

 

[Dan d'Lyon]

Of course, I've said "meh" about several pieces of the art that then turned into absolutely stunning minis.  Yeah, I'm looking at you Aradae Mawr, Ygandr, and Hrudinn.....  So I know I'm not safe from the Erainn and Atlantes yet.
