Thanks for the link!

**zedmeister**

And we're off!

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

More resin for the resin pile

hard to decide what looks best it's a tossup between the crazy crab for conand of the formor or the eraiin earth beast

**Momotaro**

Shipping notice received yesterday evening for my Darklands: Metal Age force!

Had to fish it out the junk folder

**Zond**

Thuulac looks cool but I have nothing to go with him. Apart from that none of the monsters arr gripping me and I'm not sure if I want anything already produced just yet.

**zedmeister**

We get updates too!

Man-Jabberwocks!

It's another Mierceday and we have some awesome stuff for you this time. But then, don't we always?

This week we have:
sculpt work in progress updates from Bob Plociennik;
an updated list of sculptors and sculpts for this project;
...and anything else you can expect from us over the next few months.

Let us begin!

This week we have more from Bob Plociennik, for the Brythoniaid!

Gungonn's Brood is really taking shape now; in fact, it's almost finished! There's just one guy to go, the alternate of the banner bearer...

Igag ap Ig is a lovely sculpt and a warrior of the unit...

We can't wait to see these guys in the flesh!

The last warrior of the unit, is Dudd ap Rudd... unless you count Cob ap Mab, the alternate banner bearer.

These guys might well make it into Wave 12, but we'll see...

**Slinky**

My rulebook arrived.

It's a mighty tome for sure, very pretty. And it smells nice too!

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

My book arrived too (pictured with a scale reference cat), mmm new book smell

**zedmeister**

Come on Mr Postie. Where's my book!

**zedmeister**

And another update! Look at those molerats...

Mole-Rat-Men

Things are progressing nicely on the Darklands: Savage Hordes project, because we have another update for you this week and it's blimmin' awesome, even if we do say so ourselves. It's also very ratty!

This week we have:
sculpt work in progress updates from Benoît Cosse;
an updated list of sculptors and sculpts for this project;
a list of what ships, when;[*]...and anything else you can expect from us over the next few months.

Here we go...

We've some lovely ratties for the Vras to show this week, courtesy of Benoît Cosse!

To say that we love Benoît's work on the Spear-Vras is the biggest understatement of the century... we want to cuddle them so much it hurts!

(as always, apologies for the size and quality of images)

The champion of the unit is No-Claw - named after his missing right hand of course!

He's a bit shouty!

The herald of the unit is Fat-Skin, a drummer of some note.

Ba-dum!

A warrior of the unit, is Sharp-Fang, and a runner! A dasher!

Run-run! Or it could be dance-dance... who knows?

Let us not forget Scar-Belly, completed last month...

Hopefully these guys will be a Wave 12 shipment, but we'll see - there's a way to go yet...

**cromagz**

has the first post gone missing? EDIT : Nope for some reason I'd set it to ignore!

**zedmeister**

Brutal:

**Pacific**

Ignoring Alpharius ? !

Never has a man been set on ignore less, surely!

That does look like a meaty tome of a book (thanks for providing cat for scale!)

I wonder when (or if?) it will pass to retailers for sale ?

**zedmeister**

End of the month looking at this. Stuff that gets released is usually available for trade orders at around the same time

**Alpharius**

Ha!

Not sure what I've ever done to cromagz but...

MIGHTY MONSTERS indeed!

Ouch!

I want...all of them!

**cromagz**

Must have been a fat finger situation! No recollection of it haha

**Bolognesus**

Ooh, nothing I really want yet. That's a relief

**zedmeister**

Rulebook is huge! Luckily, there's a nice little section at the beginning which says, in summary; If you're a new player, read only these rules first...

**RiTides**

Cremharunc art is fantastic! Man, that's going to be a huge model

Wonder how the "grass" will be sculpted onto it? If they can pull that off convincingly it will look incredible!

I love the concept. He literally is a walking, angry mountain!

I was thinking of sprucing mine up with some grass tufts. He's gonna be a big boy!

So was I reading the KS correct, and the prices of the larger resins are rising? I guess they've been static for a few years, so probably time.

A good way of looking at it!

I was initially only so-so on the Érainn, but the more I see, the more I like!

And yes, while it is mostly only in my mind, I see them as the closest thing to the 'good guys' (sorta, more or less) in the Darklands setting!

I missed that bit!

Good catch!

Bear in mind that the recommended retail price of most of the monsters listed here will increase shortly, so you're getting a fantastic deal.

EDIT:

...and funded!

Update #2

Apr 22 2016
£10,000 - We're Funded! Thank You!
0 Comments

Amazingly, we're funded already - that is some going everyone. Well done!

The project is now a reality - give yourselves a pat on the back!

**GiraffeX**

Has Banbrega got people in his rib cage?

**Alpharius**

He does - how awesome is that?

**methebest**

I was hoping there would be one of those $60 starter things in this, as the minis look nice, but on the bright side saving moneys always good. Maybe the next kickstarter.

**zedmeister**

Well,what a fine thing to wake up to!

**Alpharius**

Wow - Looks like Mórannach has got a unit of his own to lead now!

Good to see that this unit can count as one of the 5 in the Five Monsters deal too!

**Malkaven**

Are you guys getting any notification that your rulebook has shipped either through the carrier or via MM's site?

**Azreal13**

Yep, received a dispatch email and book arrived 2 days later.

**Bolognesus**

Mierce always sends a shipping confirmation via the website once your package has been shipped for each order that's completed with that shipment. That's always at least one email per shipment since they will split off shipped bits into a separate order, but potentially more. One of the more... prolific? backers in the KS comments mentioned getting eleven (!!!!) shipping notifications for one box a few days ago. Some people do scare me :-D
