K3 - the Kukulkani faction!
Are there any pics of the new St. Isaac plastics from the upcoming starter set?
As well as any news on the release of said starter set?

Oh dear Lord, those new Dragyri... I haven't been so excited about a Dark Age release since the original Sisters came out.

they just keep going from strength to strength with the new sculpts the last few years...
i thought the introduction of the K3 was awesome, and then they just go and keep blowing me away with each new mini...
i was never even a fan of Dragyri, aside from the Whispers, which were an auto-buy for me, but those all look amazing...
love the armor color for the Shadow Cast...
well, the entire scheme, really...
gonna have to recreate that!!!
cheers

Couple of things I learned from the FB group today; someone from GenCon bought a Kukulkani starter and there were a couple more there:
Apparently they're doing 500pt starters for all the factions. I asked if they'd be generic only (I specifically asked if there'd be a Salt Flat Nomads one) and someone from the company told me that initially they'd be generic only (except the Dragyri who will have different ones for the different Castes, because they don't really work as a generic list) but there will be sub faction ones in the future.
He also told me they're working to sort out the distribution in the UK so soon it will be easier to get here.

I certainly hope so because they've started adding a "Boardgame Discount" charge to shipping. They just add $40 to the order. I've tried an order with a single blister of plights and it still adds that 40, as well as the normal flat shipping charge.

I recently cancelled orders from two companies who were selling Dark Age, as they said they couldn't get things in because their distributor wasn't ordering anything "until the pound settles".

Some of the new Dragyari are awesome from a model perspective alone. The Kulikia-whatsits are awesome from a concept standpoint, but I haven't 100% been grabbed by the sculpts, perhaps because of the paint style.

I think in general with the new sculpts that CMON has been pretty good. The Shadow caste for me though, they've hit it out of the park.
Hopefully UK distribution will be sorted sooner rather than later.

Wow! Those are really nice. Love the Dragyari. I don't even play Dark Age but I have to by those just of the quality and cool factor alone.

Here's the actual quote:
'At the moment we are working hard to improve our distribution situation in the UK. As soon as we have a new distributor we'll be making an announcement, for sure. Hopefully it'll be soon.
Once we have that sorted, our next goal will be to have UK street dates be very close to the US dates. After that it's all about getting everything released on the same date.'

How much were they selling for at Gen Con? Looking at the Kukulkani one, some of those larger figures are pretty pricey on their own. Makes me wonder how much of a discount you get via the starter sets then...

Yeah a few people said they went for $60 at Gencon, end price for normal retail will hopefully be that too.
The contents equal to the old starter $40, Ah Chu $25, Honour Guard $16, 81, so it'd be a saving of $21.
Forsaken Banes $30, Warwind $13, Deacon $12, Diskmaster $13, Medic $13, 81, so a saving of $21
Wasteland Warriors $20, Warlord $13, Manhunter $10, Scuts (only 2 so I'll say around $13), Bully $10, 66, so a saving of $6.
I probably got stuff wrong oh well.

On their facebook a comment by them has said the Dragyri book and models (shadow) will be around October. And they might have fixed the shipping thing where even a single blister was making international customers pay an added $40 "boardgame discount shipping" cost, as I've set up a shopping cart with them and it hasn't popped up yet.

September Releases:
First of all we have the wonderful new character for the Kukulkani – Ixchel, The Nocturnal Mother. Ixchel is the rightful leader of the Samarian crusade, but her position was usurped by quetzal when the Cult of the Moon Goddess were trapped in the ziggurat after the mysterious destruction of the engines. Ixchel and her followers have released dug their way out of their chambers and she now stands ready to complete the mission of the Kukulkani on Samaria.
Along with Ixchel, we get to see the Coatlanak, the adolescent forms of the great feathered serpents, the Coatlai! Coatlanaks are subjected to intense behavioral training by the war priests to follow instruction, even in the heated chaos of battle. The large alien serpents follow the cues given to them by other Kukulkani, turning their aggression on shared enemies as if by instinct.
And finally, we have the first of our Dragyri releases (before the avalanche hits next month). We have gone through and resculpted all of the Dragyri Slaves, and the first ones we have ready to release are the Shard Slaves. These wiry creatures are the wild cards of the slave units. Purposefully selected from the smallest and quickest slaves, they scatter crystal fragments on the battlefield and fling them at enemies by the handful. Oftentimes these slaves themselves have toiled in the mines, picking up discarded and otherwise useless fragments that have been chipped away during the mining process. The Shard Slaves must wear thick gloves of their own construction to prevent shredding their own appendages when reaching into their bag of tricks.

Ha - no worries!
I love this game, and I love just about everything they come out with now.
From the point where they really upped their game in terms of the sculpts, this product line has become one of the most consistently fantastic out there!

Man, those Shadow Caste minis look good. I'm not a Dark Age player, but over the last year the minis they are putting out are just spectacular. Probably the most consistently attractive line out there in my opinion.
I'm hoping to get into it (I've a buddy who recently mentioned he was interested in giving it a whirl) and that upcoming two player starter contains two of my favorite factions (St. Isaac and Ice Caste), so I'm definitely looking to get into that.
The mention of WoK plastic has me a bit worried though (I'm not familiar with it at all). Is it similar to Warmachines "plastic"? I absolutely hate that stuff.
