Mierce Miniatures

Hi Guys, would you like to earn yourself lots of store credit (Moneyback)??

Then we have just the way to do it!!

If you refer a friend to Darklands and Mierce Miniatures then we will reward you, our valued customer, for getting your friends into the Darklands world!

WHAT REWARDS DO I GET BY REFERRING A FRIEND?

Each time you refer a new friend and he/she makes an order on our webstore, your Moneyback is increased by 20% of your friend's first order total. For example, if your friend's first order is £100, you gain £20. It's that simple! Note that this only applies to webstore items - i.e., items that are not Kickstarter items.

You can refer as many friends as you wish, and if you refer five friends or more you will gain an additional bonus of £50 on your Moneyback!

If you are registered and logged in, you can check how much Moneyback you have by visiting your My Moneyback page.

HOW DO I REFER A FRIEND?

To claim your Refer a Friend reward, you simply need to ensure your friend notifies us of your name and e-mail address, along with a note that you have referred them to Mierce Miniatures. You don't need to do anything else except to persuade your friends to get into Darklands and make an order!

Your friend must make an order under his own name and address (which must be different to your own) for his order to count as a referral order.

WHAT RESTRICTIONS TO REFERRING A FRIEND ARE THERE?

The most important restriction to Referring a Friend is that you can only refer each particular friend once; after that friend makes his first order, you can't be rewarded for any further order he makes.

Additionally, that friend must not be an existing Mierce Miniatures customer - i.e., he has never made an order on our webstore before.

I think you guys missed two updates on Friday

Teasers:

And also:

As an aside to finished sculpt pics, can you tell us what’s made it through the print cue since last update, and what’s on deck?

...as for what's been printed...

Garric (all versions)
Tor I Italus, Ballista Tormentum
Hrafnar of Stafangr, Hrafn Unit
Scuttling Nucranca
Thuulac
Encrusted Thuulac
Tower Banbreca
Firekin, Szalamandra Unit

Note that not all of those are moulded yet. Printing will cease for a while to get them moulded (plus other things)

Cheers!

**RiTides**

Good to see they're printing the larger models (other than Garric), as I really think that's what their in-house printer is best suited for. It has probably already paid for itself knocking that list of giants out!

Both of the above sculpts look great, Bob! (Yours and Allan's

). My only constructive criticism on the Savrar would be I think his weapon could use a little more love, but he's pretty badass

**highlord tamburlaine**

My big hope for the Savrar (other than finally getting them!) is that the parts will be a lot less thin, which are prone to easy breaks.

These new sculpts look THICK, in all the good ways. I love thick models, and these Savrar look way more impressive than most on the market!

**yxalitis**

Still no movement on my orders, and no reply to any emails...
What do you guys reckon Is should do to get traction?
I have around $400 in outstanding orders and cashback.

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

It depends what you mean

If you've never had any response to emails i'd try an alternate email address (or contacting them on the new facebook page)

If you've had contact and been told that your KS stuff isn't done at all or is sculpted but is yet to make it to the shipping queue (the sooner you committed to the order after the KS the higher up in the queue you'll be) its just a question of waiting,

as to money back if you spend it on existing non-KS items from the main bit of the website (either paying shipping or passing the free shipping threshold) it should go out right away. I wouldn't spend on KS items if you're worried about it taking time as they'd be right at the back of the line for shipping

Edit: and I have plenty waiting to be sculpted, to be moulded & cast and to reach the shipping queue too

**Mierce Miniatures**

Richard, haven't received any e-mails from you but the server change has caused a few issues with e-mails (fixed now). Please send again and I'll sort you out.

Cheers
Rob

I placed a non-KS order on the 10th April and it hasn't shipped yet. Not wishing to be disingenuous, I haven't bothered to chase it up because I noticed that a couple of outstanding KS items moved to packing at the same time so I'm assuming it'll all get bundled together and come at the same time, but upshot of it all is that the non-KS item seems to have gone some way back in the queue rather than going out 'tight away',. While I can see why they've done it (if of course my assumption is correct), I'm not hugely happy about it. as my expectation would also be that an in stock item bought direct form the webstore would be shipped out promptly (two working days is listed on the description)

**Mierce Miniatures**

Taaloc, send a mail and we can sort it out for you. One problem with usernames is that I can't tell who you are!

Cheers
Rob

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

Tim's given those on facebook a sneek peak at a certain crab (and I don't know if we've seen a cast of that Reaver lass yet either (more angles on the link below)

https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1760769930632703&set=pcb.438983073207108&type=3&theater

**Boss Salvage**

- Salvage

**Crimson**

Who's the lady next to the crab and is she already available?

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

She's Maari, Reiver Witch on Foot and is available in resin (she'll be available in metal too eventually but that looks to be KS backer only so far)

http://mierce-miniatures.com/index.php?act=pro&pre=mrm_dkl_fmr_blr_wcf_166_000

**madzerker**

Available now, but when will she be shipped? I seem to only get about 1 shipment every 8-10 months now even though I paid for the max shipping on each kickstarter and still have a ton of stuff waiting to be shipped. :(

**Monkeysloth**

I always just do one shipment per order so I'm not sure how the multiple shipment stuff works but it would never hurt to send them an email.

I'm waiting on the reivers in metal, hopefully they're still on track for next month. Also happy to see the scale seams to be a bit larger for her as some of my Mierce humans are comically small.

**RiTides**

What a lovely crab! Wow... this is one of the rare cases when a cast is even more impressive than the render. Just magnificent!

**Mierce Miniatures**

@madzerker - send a mail and we'll sort it out.

Cheers
Rob

**yxalitis**

Don't forget, that's just the "plain" version, the "Encrusted" one has lots of barnacles and starfish all over the body!
That's the one I ordered...oooh, abut 2 years ago!

Spoiler:

Wow Yx! That’s a whole 6 months before Bob even sculpted it! AMAZING!

**zedmeister**

Only one updated today. And it's for you lizard lovers (you know who you are)

More Lizardy Types

As revealed in the last update, we got Bob to resculpt Ágriosávra - as he'd made such an amazing job of Eikovra and the Sávrar - and here's Aggie on his big lizard monster thing, plus a new Myrkranio!

[/list]

Here we go...

There's two new miniatures to show today from Bob, both for the Khthones and both utterly superb. But then we would say that.

With Bob resculpting Ágriosávra on foot, it would have been rude not to resculpt Ágriosávra on his Sávrakh. Whilst we are, generally speaking, quite rude, we're not going to be rude in this case.

Here's the simply wonderful Ágriosávra on his Sávrakh!

You'll have the choice of "winged" head or "komodo" head for the Sávrakh (his name is Krekk for anyone who's interested), as both are included with the miniature.

He should be a Wave 24 shipment, we think.

The remaining Sávrar to be resculpted by Bob is Myrkranio... and what a wonderful resculpt it is!

Again, you'll get both heads...

...and again, he'll be a Wave 24 shipment!

Where can I buy them!?!?

You can pre-order all of the new lizzies in the Darklands: Savage Hordes category:

[*]
Ágriosávra, Sávrarchon on Foot (metal)
[*]
Ágriosávra, Sávrarchon on Foot (resin)
[*]
Ákontar Ágriosávra, Sávrarchon on Foot (metal)
[*]
Ákontar Ágriosávra, Sávrarchon on Foot (resin)
[*]
Ágriosávra, Sávrarchon on Sávrakh (resin)
[*]
Ákontar Ágriosávra, Sávrarchon on Sávrakh (resin)
[*]
Myrkranio, Sávrargós on Foot (metal)
[*]
Myrkranio, Sávrargós on Foot (resin)

Note that any outstanding orders for Ágriosávra on foot in metal or Myrkranio on foot in metal will be automatically upgraded to the new version.

Next up for Bob? He's just about finished the Two Axe Warriors of Baalor and then he'll be working on the Cogwyfern and Cocneidr from Savage Hordes II...

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

I much prefer that Komodo head (although the tongue is in the wrong place on it)

and the savraar look great

**highlord tamburlaine**

The Komodo head does look good.

Is it only Agriosavra who can ride the lizards, or is there a more generic profile available for the Khthon hosts?

I've got the older version with the frilled head already built. Might be cool to have multiple lizard riding cavalry...

...and yeah, those Savrar are looking nice. Can't wait to get my claws on them!

The big question for me though is which material to I want them in? I've got some coming in metal, but the resins might be more viable now with the thicker looking weapons.

**skullking**

I thought I'd forward this since it was kind of bugging me when I first saw it.

Orlando_the_Technicoloured
Love the Komodo head,

but it's tongue is coming through its chin not out of the mouth so Bob needs to do a bit more work on it

Mierce Miniatures
@Orlando - Bob's already fixed that, I just don't have the large images - see the winged version, that's got the tongue correct.

**Bob Plociennik**

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

You've done a fab job there Bob,

you've really caught the skin texture on the mount (and now with fixed tongue)

**Bob Plociennik**

Thanks Orladno, glad you like him, and thanks for all the previous comment guys, just didn't want to spam the thread with "thanks" every time

**Bossk_Hogg**

Hey does anyone own this guy? How does that ball not snap the chain more or less instantly?

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

Misscast packs available

http://mierce-miniatures.com/index.php?act=cat&cre=cmp-msc

**zedmeister**

Not forgetting:

**highlord tamburlaine**

Where'd that come from?

I'm guessing that's using the wyvern as a base like the Brythoniaid dragon ogre as well, right?

I still have to decide how to paint the darned thing...

The weapons and armor make me wonder if it'll be a Banebeasts release rather than Darklands proper. Or maybe the Khthon will get this model?

(Or maybe I should just go read the comments and see what Rob's got to say about it...)
