Urien is looking really nice, Kell just looks weird, still not sold on the three legs it just seems impractical from so many angels.

Nothing on the New Kindreds today

**Alpharius**

Or Monstrous Mounts either...

**Azreal13**

Rob was hungover today, according to the KS comments.

Blame it on the beer.

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

That and the fact that most of the sculptors for mounts and New Kindreds are still working through their stuff for First Edition & First Edition II

**Pilgrim_uk**

Think I have about £250 in the kitty from 3 campaigns and still haven't managed to plan out what I'm going to get. Only pledged for Monstrous beats but thinking If I could change to mounts and so on...

**Azreal13**

Send a message via the KS?

Can't hurt to ask.

New releases just in time for Christmas!

Christmas Releases

With our latest Kickstarter project Darklands: New Kindreds completed and hitting a massive £115,000, it's time once more to turn our attention to one of our previous projects, Darklands: First Edition; for we have eight eight more releases from it, one for each kindred!

For this third set of releases from that project, we have Ciniod, an Umaer of Dun Durn for the Albainn; Broga, the first of our boar-men, a Wereofor Thegn for the Angelcynn; Mag ap Mag, another first - this time a Dynwocor warchief - for the Brythoniaid; Agathae, a Signifer of the Byzantii; Naraa, a naughty-looking Tain of Baalor for the Fomoraic; Xontór, another awesome Gorgon for the Khthones; the superb Knútr of Víkin, a general of the Norse; and the frankly disgusting Zethag of Carn Dhu, a Harvest-Drune of the Ysians. An eclectic bunch!

Unfortunately, just like the previous releases this year, thanks to us being busier than busy bees we've just not had the time to get the release art and descriptions done; but you can still see some good images of each miniature on the website of course.

Ciniod, Umaer of Dun Durn

The Albainn have suffered in the past - due simply to a lack of miniatures to use - but all that is changing, as they're getting a release a month just like the other kindreds! This time around we have an Umaer of Dun Durn, a warchief, called Ciniod; sculpted by Olivier Nkweti from the artwork by Sam Lamont and painted by Martin Grandbarbe, he's a cracking little miniature well able to lead your painted ones!

Broga, Wereofor Thegn

Broga is from another realm of the Angelcynn, Eofora, which is effectively today's East Anglia. The Eoforas are mostly pagan although many are Christian, and unlike many realms all beliefs are tolerated. The pagan Eoforas are allies of the Miercna and many Wereofor - boar-men, like Broga - find a welcome in their hosts, and especially when they fight common enemies. Painted by Sébastien Picque and sculpted by Valentin Zak from the artwork by Christophe Madura, Broga is a cracking miniature and the very first boar-man miniature for Darklands!

Mag ap Mag, Prifdynwocor of Powys

Mag ap Mag is another first, for he is warchief of the Dynwocor or jabberwock-men, and he fights for other Brythoniaid realms as much as he does for Powys; for he hates the Saesneg and the Wyddelig and the Norseg as much as the rest. Sculpted beautifully by Roberto Chaudon from the artwork by Christophe Madura, and painted masterfully by Sébastien Picque, Mag ap Mag is a must for any Brythoniaid player!

Agathae, Signifer

A Signifer of Legio II Var, the lovely Agathae - sculpted by Yannick Hennebo from the artwork by Steve Pierce, and painted by Martin Grandbarbe - is a cracking miniature and one of only three Byzantii miniatures yet released. Like the Albainn, the Byzantii are a relatively new kindred to Darklands, but that's all changing - watch out for more satanic romans next month!

Naraa, Tain of Baalor

Jacques-Alexandre Gillois is a master of sculpting our Fomoraic miniatures and he never disappoints. The cold and beautiful Naraa, sculpted by him from the artwork by Stefan Kopinski and painted by Sébastien Picque, is a fantastic addition to the Baalor realm and another showcase for Jacques' talent!

Xontór, Gorgon of Khthon

The snake-men of the Khthones, the Gorgones, have another warlord to lead them in the four-armed shape of Xontór the Gorgon. Armed to the teeth and armoured with teeth, Xontór has been sculpted by Stéphane Simon from the artwork by Beth Hughes and painted brilliantly by Sébastien Picque. Watch out, the Atalantes!

Knútr of Víkin, Skipari of Hrafnen on Foot

The talent of Allan Carrasco is simply amazing to behold. Knútr of Víkin, our Norse longship skipper, is a thing of beauty; sculpted by him from the artwork by Danny Cruz, and painted by Martin Grandbarbe, human miniatures just don't get any better than this. Except when you see Knútr on Horse, of course...

Zethag of Carn Dhu, Harvest-Drune

Sculpted by Stéphane Simon from artwork by Danny Cruz, and painted by Martin Grandbarbe, Zethag of Carn Dhu is brilliantly disgusting and foul and rank and horrid; the blood spittle on her mouth is a particularly brilliant feature, we think, but we also love what's around her waist and in her hands. She's obviously just swallowed some, and wants some more!

All of the releases above will be officially released on the 6th of December 2014, but you can pre-order them now from this very website to your heart's content!

Watch out for more releases next month, too!

**RiTides**

Nice, I know some guys who were waiting for Broga to release, I'll give them the heads up!

Also, I finally got my Ágriosávra, Myrkanio, and Eikovra built! Pic below of them (along with some other models in the project I'm using them for).

I used Eikovra's banner topper on Myrkanio, and put the sword blade that is usually at Eikovra's side in its place on the top of Eikovra's staff. Also lengthened the shaft of Ágriosávra's weapon.

I should note, that I think these were some of the most difficult 28mm models I've ever had to assemble. The pegs don't match up with the holes (they're always too wide, or too long, etc) and each model was something like 10 pieces

(i.e. two separate legs, body, tail in two pieces, each arm in two separate pieces, head in two separate pieces, or three in the case of Myrkanio, etc...!). The hot water trick was really easy to straighten shafts (just microwaved a cup for two minutes, stuck the staffs in for 10 seconds, then flattened them while they were malleable) but for every joint I found myself having to greenstuff it to get a good fit... I mean almost every joint!

I'm noting all of that because I think this is an area where Mierce might be able to improve, as I don't know if it's the way the sculptor (Chaudon) is breaking up the model, or if it's just their casting process, etc. But I have gotten resin models from other "high end" companies, like Kingdom Death, and found them so much easier to assemble... again, these were the hardest I've ever encountered at this scale, and in so many pieces for a basically man-sized model. The detail is worth it... but, I didn't feel that way in the midst of multiple hours assembling each model

**highlord tamburlaine**

I share your pain RiTdes.

I assembled one of the lizards (Agriosavra) and had such a pain in the ass time getting him together, I've held off on the other two. I also managed to lose the blade stuck in his shield.

I echo the sentiment of tons of pieces for such a tiny dude.

**RiTides**

I don't think mine came with anything stuck in their shields! Was that a separate piece? Totally did not see it... from the pics I thought it was an arrow shaft.

And yeah, I have 15 of these models total (10 are assembled above) and there's a reason I delayed so long in tackling them. And they took much longer than I had even thought they might! So, definitely an area for improvement for Mierce / their sculptors / etc.

**Alpharius**

RiTides - I've got to ask - what is that army going to be for?

I see a lot of models from a lot of different companies in there!

**Bossk_Hogg**

Those lizard men look to be nice size - bigger than I expected. I have the Deepwars nautiloid and its not puny. What are the grunts, bog trog zombies?

**highlord tamburlaine**

Yeah, he had a bit of a broken blade jammed into his shield.

You can see it on the official paint job.

I even took a stab at painting mine (and you can see some hydras slowly getting finished there as well)-

**RiTides**

I'm blogging my progress over in the P&M section, it is for a converted gatorman army for Hordes (the grunts are bog trog zombies, as Bossk_Hogg guessed). Check it out if you like! So that I don't hijack this thread

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/623768.page

Of course, I think I have the lizards based on the correct size for Darklands too, if anyone around me starts playing it

I will say that the Ágriosávra is a very nice size. Eikovra is just crouched and curled up, so ends up being short, but his banner helps make up for that. However, Myrkanio (the one with the skull head) is quite weedy, such that my wife even commented "Wow that model is small" when I showed it to her next to the others

. Shamans usually are portrayed that way, though, next to other warriors, so I don't think it's an issue. Just noting that Ágriosávra stands significantly taller than the others due to those reasons!

Highlord - I'm guessing I thought the broken blade was just excess material... may leave it off still, since having all the shields with a broken blade in them would be repetitive on the 4 of these I have built. And you have a lot of lizards, unsurprisingly!!

**skullking**

Love the concept for your Gatorman army RiTides!

I was considering Gatormen as a use for my deep wars Dark mariners and Scaley horde figures, but I did some more research and found that base sizes matched up better making them a convergence army. I then added Darklands Uuthull as the colossal, and Kairocc Cro as the battle engine (the base sizes match up, and they both totally fit the 'vibe' of the Deep wars figs). Lastly I bought some reaper fish and other aquatic creature familiars to act as the servitors. The powers of the gators match up much better though, none of my sea creatures have any sort of water advantages!

**Alpharius**

Mierceday indeed!

Update #100

Nov 21 2014

Cnebba, Holumenn and Wave 3 is closing soon!
Comment
5 likes

It's a Friday, hurrah! We do have a new sculpt for you today, which is officially Good and Marvellous.

With Darklands: First Edition close to fulfilment, there won't be a great deal to show each week from here on in. Even so, there's still some cracking miniatures ahead - and there's plenty of painted miniatures to show, too!

This week there's:

sculpt work in progress images from Allan Carrasco and Stéphane Simon;
news that Wave 3 items will be removed from the webstore next week;
a list of what miniatures should be sent in Wave 3, and when Wave 3 will occur;
updated lists of sculptors and sculpts;
downloadable versions of the current QuickStarter Rules, Muster Rules and Kindred Musters;
news of the Darklands: First Edition rules;
anything else you can expect from us over the next few months.

Onwards...

We have a cracker for you this week thanks to the beautiful Allan Carrasco, and there's also an update from the lovely Stéphane Simon, too!

It's been a while in coming, but Cnebba (pronounced "Nebba") the Mægenwulf (MAG-en-wulf) is totally worth the wait! Praise be to Allan Carrasco!

It'll be a little while before he's done but we do think Cnebba will make it into Wave 5 (February 2014).

Stéphane Simon has almost finished the Hrafnen Crew as Undrik can testify to...

The last warrior of the Hrafnen Crew, Undrik, is almost complete!

Undrik should be finished next week, but the Holumenn will be a Wave 5 shipment, unfortunately; we just won't get everything done in time for them to ship now.

With Wave 3 beginning to ship on the week beginning November the 24th, it is time to remind you all that ALL Wave 3 items will be removed from the Kickstarter category on the 24th - which is next Monday, or three days away!

In a nutshell:

Wave 3 items will be removed from the Mierce Miniatures website at midnight (GMT) on the 24th of November (just three days away). The following items will be removed from the website:

ANGELCYNN: Eadric on Horse - Hrōr
BRYTHONIAID: Urien on Horse
BYZANTII: Con I Modius (Modius - Gellius - Tiberius- Livia - Severa)
FOMORAIC: Mananaan on Horse
YSIANS: Crom on Horse

You will only see these items in the webstore if you have backed this project, of course.

After November 24th, you'll have to wait until they're released!

If you don't purchase any Wave 3 items you'd like by November the 24th, you won't be able to purchase them again until they are released to the general public, and - depending on the miniature involved - that could be for a long while yet! Plus, they'll be at full price of course.

What are you waiting for? Grab those Wave 3 items now!

Giants, Goats, Ravens and Weirdos - and Wave 4 will close soon!
Comment
2 likes

It's quite a grey, overcast Friday here at Mierce Towers, but that doesn't stop us bringing you a cracking little update today!

Without further preamble, this week we have:

sculpt work in progress images from Olivier Bouchet, Roberto Chaudon, Benoît Cosse and Yannick Fusier;
news that Wave 4 items will be removed from the webstore on Monday;
a list of what miniatures should be sent in Wave 4, and when Wave 4 will occur;
an updated list of sculptors and sculpts for this project;
downloadable versions of the current QuickStarter Rules, Muster Rules and Kindred Musters;
anything else you can expect from us over the next few months.

Let's begin!

After a dearth of sculpts last week, this week we have some absolute crackers, for which we must all rejoice!

Yannick Fusier has been very busy of late and the latest Oghurithne-shaped fruits of his labours arrived in our inbox to much happiness...

The herald of the Oghu Guardians, Lobeg, is a characterful beggar and no mistake...

We do hope to get the rest of the unit for Wave 5, but we'll see on that. Yannick is a busy man!

Here's a lovely surprise for everyone: the fantastic Gooracx or goat-beast that Brunchaath the Vile will be riding on very soon!

With the Gooracx about complete, we don't think it will take long for Brunchaath to be done; so Brunchaath on Gooracx should be a Wave 5 shipment.

The splendiferous Roberto Chaudon has been working hard on the raven-men - and a raven-woman in particular...

Agni is a fantastic sculpt and, whilst there's a bit to do on her, it shouldn't be long before she's done.

With Agni almost complete and Roberto telling me that Ormrinn's not far behind, we are confident that the Corpse Takers will be a Wave 5 shipment.

Olivier Bouchet is fast becoming our go-to sculptor for big guys; he's neat, quick, and follows every concept very well indeed, as Ingenga shows...

There's not much detail yet but Ingenga is definitely getting there... nipples covered up to protect the innocent!

With two left from the unit - Gorz and Rulguss - we think that the Abhorrents will make it into Wave 5!

Wave 4 shipments will begin on the 24th of November!

It won't be long now until Wave 4 begins - next week! - and we're also combining Wave 4 with Wave 3 items from Darklands: First Edition. With regard to Darklands: First Edition, Wave 1 and 2 shipments are now complete, which leaves Wave 3 clear to begin casting for.

We do have some bad news: we've had to put back The Eye Ascendant, Warriors of Baalor unit to Wave 5. They're not yet printed thanks to the Teulu issues, and with the best will in the world, there's just not enough time to do it all.

Please bear in mind that Wave 4 shipments will continue from November into December and probably January 2015. We will try to get everything out as soon as we can, but there's a lot to ship - and as always we will prioritise orders in date order; i.e., if you ordered early, you'll get your stuff sent early. Plus, there's Christmas to contend with!

What we're saying, basically, is - please be patient! We are doing everything as fast as we can.

With Wave 4 beginning to ship on the week beginning November the 24th, it is time to remind you all that ALL Wave 4 items will be removed from the Kickstarter category on that day.

In a nutshell:

Wave 4 items will be removed from the Mierce Miniatures website at midnight (GMT) on the 24th of November, which is only three days away!

The following items will be removed from the website:

ALBAINN: Oghu Guardians (Grubog - Pabogg - Drudd - Skrugadd - Undagg) - Skyclad Ciniod - Skyclad Itaina - Gromi (Gromi - Gromi with two cleavers - Armoured Gromi with two cleavers) - Gomagg
ANGELCYNN: Sweordsman Timoth - Cæna
BRYTHONIAID: Forwyn Carys
BYZANTII: Feral Agathae - Tykho
FOMORAIC: Helmed Naraa - Marked Galagaak
INFERNII: Craven Fiends of Dis (Kaius - Drubal - Bacchus - Kolkhus - Luco)
NORSE: Trolls of Töheim, Armoured Troll Unit (Vörtun, Gjöll, Unnolg, Gurrir, Nisurl)
VRAS: Kill-Head Flint-Fang
YSIANS: Akkaz
SELL-SWORDS: Sáthach - Uhtred on Horse

You will only see these items in the webstore if you have backed this project, of course.

After November 24th, you'll have to wait until they're released!

If you don't purchase any Wave 4 items you'd like by November the 24th, you won't be able to purchase them again until they are released to the general public, and - depending on the miniature involved - that could be for a long while yet! Plus, they'll be at full price of course.

Ciniod on Aurogg, and Wave 4 closes soon!
Comment

It's been a little while since the last update, but here's another to tide you over till next time!

This week we have:

sculpt work in progress updates from Aragorn Marks;
a list of what miniatures should be sent in Wave 5 and later Waves, and when Wave 5 will occur;
a list of sculptors and sculpts for this project;
UPDATED, downloadable versions of the current QuickStarter Rules, Muster Rules and Kindred Musters;
anything else you can expect from us over the next few months.

Let's begin!

Aragorn Marks has been beavering away in his little shed, and these are the results...

With Oso completed and a resin cast shipped off to Aragorn, Ciniod on Aurogg is certainly progressing well.

It shouldn't be long before Ciniod on Aurogg is finished, but he will be a Wave 5 shipment.
Here's an up to date list of what we think will be shipped when.

It won't be long now until Wave 4 begins, and we're also combining Wave 4 with Wave 3 items from Darklands: First Edition.

Please bear in mind that Wave 4 shipments will continue from November into December and probably January 2015. We will try to get everything out as soon as we can, but there's a lot to ship - and as always we will prioritise orders in date order; i.e., if you ordered early, you'll get your stuff sent early.

What are you waiting for? Grab those Wave 4 items now!

We'll keep this list updated every Friday.

SHIPMENT WAVE 0: almost complete for this project; we estimate that all the existing miniatures will be shipped by the end of next week.
SHIPMENT WAVE 4 (November 2014): Oso.
SHIPMENT WAVE 5 (February 2015): Ciniod on Aurogg - Erebius on Behema - Brontull - Ágriosávra on Sávrakh - Krekkek - Beb on Pig-Bog
SHIPMENT WAVE 6 (April 2015): Birna on Fellhrafn - Vaenhildr

Items in bold will DEFINITELY be sent in that wave as we have the sculpt; items in italics are in progress and should make it into that wave, but we don't yet have the sculpt.

Update #54

Nov 21 2014

Existing Miniatures Category Closes on Monday!
1 comment
3 likes

That's right - it's now the end of November, and thus the Existing Miniatures category will be closed on Monday the 24th of November at midnight (GMT)!
In a nutshell:

The Existing Miniatures category will be removed from the Mierce Miniatures website at midnight (GMT) on the 4th of August

In other words, get your skates on if you want any any more existing miniatures at a discount!
How long do I get to purchase more Darklands: New Kindreds items?

You have until these items begin to ship to purchase more Darklands: New Kindreds stuff - thus, you have until June 2015, August 2015 and October 2015 for those that ship later!
When will you ship existing items?

Due to various pressures, not least of which Darklands: First Edition, Darklands: First Edition II and staff holidays (it is Christmas soon!), miniatures purchased from the Existing Items category will begin to ship next week, but shipping will likely continue into December and January.

**highlord tamburlaine**

There's been a serious lack of reptiles in these last few updates!

How big's Cnebba supposed to be?

**cincydooley**

120mm, I think.

**Denilsta**

I held off getting Cnebba as I did not like the concept art, however I am really liking how he is turning out. Again I am liking the Raven woman, some amazing details on her/it.

**Mymearan**

How is she supposed to walk on three legs?

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

Ask the Flesh Smiths ?

Other than that pretty awkwardly,

but she'd be very hard to knock back or knock over and would be able to deliver harder blows without risking falling over

Mierceday updates!

Wave 3 extension and more sculpts!

Another Friday is here, and that means there's another update!

With Darklands: First Edition close to fulfilment, there won't be a great deal to show each week from here on in. Even so, there's still some cracking miniatures ahead - and there's plenty of painted miniatures to show, too!

This week there's:
sculpt work in progress images from Michael Anderson, Allan Carrasco and Stéphane Simon;
news that Wave 3 items will be removed from the webstore next week;
a list of what miniatures should be sent in Wave 3, and when Wave 3 will occur;
updated lists of sculptors and sculpts;
downloadable versions of the current QuickStarter Rules, Muster Rules and Kindred Musters;
news of the Darklands: First Edition rules;
anything else you can expect from us over the next few months.

Onwards...

We have some awesomeness from Michael Anderson this week, further progress from Allan Carrasco and there's also an update from the lovely Stéphane Simon...!

Cnebba

Allan Carrasco has been hard at work polishing Cnebba (pronounced "Nebba") the Mægenwulf (MAG-en-wulf), and whilst he's not quite finished yet, it won't be long before he is... and we can't wait!

Remember, Cnebba is on a 100mm base (the circle you see is around 90mm), so he's a big 'un! Here's an early scale shot...

We do think Cnebba will make it into Wave 5 (February 2014).

Rikkard

A new sculptor to our range, Michael Anderson, has begun sculpting Rick Boer's Ancestor, Rikkard - and we're very keen to see the results because so far he's looking fantastic!

We do believe that Rikkard will be a Wave 5 shipment...

Undrik

Stéphane Simon has now completed the Hrafnen Crew - check out Undrik!

The last warrior of the Hrafnen Crew, Undrik, is now finished!

The Holumenn will be a Wave 5 shipment now.

Automatically Appended Next Post:
And more!

Wave 4 extension and more!

It's another drizzly, grey, overcast Friday here at Mierce Miniatures... but we don't care. It's update day!

Without further preamble, this week we have:
sculpt work in progress images from Olivier Bouchet, Roberto Chaudon and Olivier Nkweti;
news that Wave 4 items will be removed from the webstore on Monday;
a list of what miniatures should be sent in Wave 4, and when Wave 4 will occur;
an updated list of sculptors and sculpts for this project;
downloadable versions of the current QuickStarter Rules, Muster Rules and Kindred Musters;
anything else you can expect from us over the next few months.

Let's begin!

This week we have some Gairlom, more Hrafnmenn and a completed Abhorrent!

Gairlom

With Olivier Nkweti now having "fixed" the Teulu and the Eye Ascendant (which need to be printed before we show them to you), he's turning his attention to the next unit on his list - the Gairlom for the Albainn, the Spears of Dun Durn...

Nectan, the unit banner bearer, is coming along nicely, as you can see! A Teulu warrior is next to him to show you his scale.

We do hope that the Gairlom will make it into Wave 5, but they may just be Wave 6 - we'll see. Note, here, that Olivier will be doing the alternate warriors (for Darklands: New Kindreds) at the same time as the unit.

Corpse Takers

Too speedy to measure, Roberto Chaudon has been cracking on with the Corpse Takers and the results, we think, are spectacular...

Ormrinn is the next Hrafnmann on Roberto's list and he's looking superb... that mast is going to make a lovely base!

Agni's now complete, and Ormrinn's just about there; and with only Oddr left to do, we are very confident that the Corpse Takers will be a Wave 5 shipment.

Abhorrents of Ys

The Abhorrents of Ys are over the hump, with three miniatures completed and two to go...

The rather hairy Ingenga is now completed, thanks to Olivier Bouchet's speed, and she's looking fantastic!

Spoilered for NSFW

Spoiler:

With two left from the unit - Gorz and Rulguss - we think that the Abhorrents will make it into Wave 5!

Gomagg

We've finally got around to assembling our lovely giant for the Albainn, Gomagg, and thought that - as he's so large and impressive - we may as well give you a few scale shots, just to show you how big he actually is...

Gomagg v Krull - "I'm going to hit you"

Gomagg v Mjagnir

Gomagg v Angrislaug

Gomagg v Druc

Gomagg is on a 120mm base for stability, and please note - he will definitely fit on a 50x75mm base. Just sayin'...

**Alpharius**

I'm REALLY glad to see that Rob wisely extended the closing dates to past "Black Friday"!

Those Armored Trolls might still yet be mine!

**zedmeister**

Surprise teaser!

Anlāf, Gāst champion

**Minicannuck**

These models are amazing.

I didn't really know anything about Mierce Miniatures until this past GenCon. The War Store had a bunch of the models on sale for $5.00 each. After seeing the detail up close, I bought everything I could find. I will definitely be buying more, even at regular prices!

**decker_cky**

So Darklands: First Edition reopened. Seeing the later projects, the best deals are definitely (requiring Darklands & Uhtred to have been bought, which is a great deal on it's own) getting the mounted + on foot models for 30 GBP. Most of the other stuff has been exceeded in value by later projects, but those tend to be 40 GBP now.

**judgedoug**

Getting a Sweet Spot pledge for 150gbp for ANYONE is an amazing deal. Half off retail in some cases.

I am going to be posting some stuff on ebay this weekend so I can get another one.

**Azreal13**

Yeah, literally everything you need to start the game with any faction and a few other bits is great value.

If anyone didn't back the KS, Rob did say email kickstarter@mierceminiatures.com and ask to be added, and then you'll get access. They're good like that, that's how I got into the Mierce train with the first project.

**judgedoug**

Email going out:

ANYONE CAN GET THE 50% OFF KICKSTARTER SWEET SPOT PLEDGE FROM DARKLANDS FIRST EDITION!

DARKLANDS: FIRST EDITION IS BACK!

Thanks to a number of backers of this project (and some that didn't), as well as a "why not?" from ourselves, we've decided to unlock the whole of Darklands: First Edition - so that's items from Wave 1 and 2 available again, as well as all the hosts and "THE SWEET SPOT" - to give you a last chance blow-out before the project draws to a close. It's Christmas, after all!

So, what we're doing is giving you the chance to purchase EVERYTHING from Darklands: First Edition for one week only, from today until Monday the 15th of December at midnight (GMT)!

THE SWEET SPOT RETURNS!

Yes indeed - there's been so many requests for THE SWEET SPOT that we've turned down that we've felt a bit guilty over the last few months. So here's that awesome deal again for you!

All you need do is, when you make your order for THE SWEET SPOT, tell us which general you'd like and which encounter host you'd like in the "special instructions" box, and we'll do the rest. Go for it!

A word of warning - what we don't want to happen is refund requests that you then use on THE SWEET SPOT. Please don't do that - we will refuse to do them!

I've not backed Darklands: First Edition, but I want some!

That's not a problem - if you didn't back Darklands: First Edition, just e-mail us at kickstarter@mierce-miniatures.com, and we'll do the rest to give you access!

What about Shipping?

If you don't purchase a Wave 3 item, we'll ship this stuff with your other shipments to come; if you do, we'll ship it as soon as we can!

You've got Ten Days!

You've now got ten days - until Monday, the 15th of December - to get a hold of anything from Darklands: First Edition. Once that date is passed, we'll be removing all Wave 1, Wave 2 and Wave 3 items from the webtore FOREVER - along with THE SWEET SPOT and any hosts!

What are you waiting for? Grab those Darklands: First Edition items now!
