Armoured Hrokr, where did he come from? Just when I was looking for a Tzeentch Daemon Prince!

I know, right?

I bought 'regular' Hrókr last time around too!

Same. I prefer the armoured version too :(

Heh. I got the Gabrax 'starter' on the previous KS - I'm rather regretting that, compared to this offering, as well

Yeah, I think these are the best deals since the original kickstarter and the quad beast from the mounts (which was actually better than many of the original KS deals). You get an extra commander over the First Edition encounter host for the same price.

Waiting to see what the monstrous starters are. Commander + 5 man, + beast still?.

Might well start as 5man unit + beastie first since we had to add the two command figures via stretches

So I'm really tempted this time round to pick up some minis but don't know where to start. There doesn't seem to be a place to view all of the available (including funded but not in production yet) miniatures.

This makes it really hard knowing what else has been funded and will be released in the future.

So I picked one of the factions I'm interested in the Ysians and made a little pic to see whats available and this is what I ended up with, without the exclusive versions and the some of the ones which are already in production on the Mierce site.



Click for a larger pic.

Have I missed anything? I know there was another mount but it wasn't funded. Would be nice if we had something like this for each faction.

So...for Ysians...

There are obviously all your big monstrous creatures: the manticore, the chimera, Conjunct XII.

There is a mount or two on the Monstrous Mounts KS.

They also have the monstrous infantry in the Brutes.

Were I starting Ysians I'd pick the starter that includes the Ax Drunes. It's a really good starter that looks like it sits pretty close to 500 points (a great starting place).

If you're planning on getting the three pack, the two Ysian starters actually compliment each other really, really well. You could throw in Zethag and the Flesh Scavengers, because they work really well with regular infantry, and you'd have a really fantastic 1000-1500 points depending on how you load them out.

Welcome!

You're missing a lot of the big huge monsters, like the manticore, chimera, and the stitched together monstrosity. And Torku adn Druk or whatever the meaty hulk is called.

Oh i forgot the meat hulk. He's a great model!

The 2 new Sword Melusines are not that new, so nothing I'm interested in, sadly.

You'll also like to hear about some of the things planned for the Ysians in future. Mounted drune warriors, small vivicocts (brute size) and sky ships. Probably won't see these in this kickstarter unless the total gets high enough

Vivicocts?

Thanks all

It was the option you mentioned cincy with the Axe Drunes and Akkaz that I was interested in but would probably add Annik if she's any good. I will be skipping the Melusine though as they wouldn't go down very well in the Giraffe household

I'm aware of the big monsters as they are already available, if they fall under kickstarter prices I might have to find more cash.

The other faction as you cant really have one that I was looking at was the Byzantii really impressed by the female roman soldier renders that we've seen so far, have any of the digital minis been cast yet?

I'll probably add more as I have a bad case of wanting most forces for each game I like.

Oh yeah and Sathach on horse as well...actually that brings another question up. I can only afford one starter before the kickstarter ends, can you add others later or even go in for the three starter deal after the KS ends?

The regular Annik model is very, very good. I'm a huge fan of her. She's a little more slight than I expected, but she's really well done.

Oh yes. Absolutely. I think there are more than a few of us that make orders on a whim if its still open. They also give us a warning when models are going to disappear from the KS section of the website.

I think the lady snake unit have been printed and cast, and people have been impressed - So I am really looking forward to getting my Byzantii types

Also, don't forget you get 20% off all existing units if you pledge, so those big monsters do become much more affordable!

Sky Ships for Ysians?

I thought thought they were mentioned last KS as being for Norse?

Oh hush, you want all the toys for the Norse!

Aye, don't have much info on them. Conjunct XIII (a vivicot) is the 13th creation. Vivcotists are supposed to specialise in creation of vivicots of all shapes and sizes. It was hinted that vivcots may make an appearance at monstrous infantry size...

Nah, I believe it was for the Ysians. Also, they're rumoured to have something called a Flesh-Thresher War Engine.

PS: here are some old concepts for Drune Horsemen. Spoilered as they're not new



Imagine Stephane Simon sculpting those...

Well gak! I must have missed that. That sounds great.

I actually didn't think I'd like Conjuct XIII, but he's a great model.

Well, yes.

But in the interest of transparency, I want everything for:

Norse
Jutes
Atalantes
Angelcynn
Brythoniaid
Byzantii
Fomoraic

For Kthones, I'm only about the Lizardmen (Highlord shout out!) and Crocs.

No Albainn, Ys or Érainn for me.

Though I'm wavering on the Érainn...

@mm just to confirm the three host deal for £220 is for any combination New or existing?

Creator Mierce Miniatures 4 minutes ago

@Graham - correct

Wish there was a Ysian deal with the sexy Shadows.

First look at Monstrous Infantry unit deals

http://www.mierce-miniatures.com/ksnk/starter_host_ok_monstrous_infantry_large.jpg

This is unfinished and has some errors in (which is why I'm not posting the image, I'll wait till Rob fixes it)

for example the Brythonaid unit gets a project exclusive warrior Ffion not Parawan

VERY tempted by Dragonshield Angedern, Armoured Scecchus and Great Axe Thorrir!

Argh!

KS5 for Darklands is proving to be the most difficult one in terms of figuring out what to get, and how to NOT spend too much!

I think they're going to need an all the new commander pledge level (or bundle deal), because I'd be very hard pressed to pick just one or two. All those new commanders are quite cool.

I'm tempted by some of the Monstrous sets, but I think my heart is sent on all the basic Infantry. Might have to pay it up until the project ships though :-P

Alt. Krokodar for Kthones:



I like it, especially as I'm only Krok/Lizardmen for Kthones - but it is awfully specific in terms of 'setting' due to the horse and soldier!

That should crack down on those wishy washy "counts as" types. Commit to alternate history dark ages!
Or just give the horse a bionic eye and you're covered.

Why must the Jutes put that silly thing on their helmet... My clippers are going to get a workout.
