Any volunteers?

So is the rulebook being shipped wave 5 then since its due in Feb? Assuming its still on time. I have one wave 6 mini but wave 5 should just about complete my fist edition 2 pledge.

Mierce have said the book will be posted separately, you do not have to wait until the next paid for shipping wave.

That's good news! I will be very tempted to pick it up when it's released . Maybe even just for the art, as some of the setting artwork for the faction homelands (particularly the ones shown in the New Kindreds campaign) has been amazing. It definitely helps immerse you in the world they're creating!

I guess I will have to grit my teeth through the pain because I want those miniatures
Its hard to turn off the business part of the brain...

I just really hope the Infernii faction gets to be a "thing" because those demons are dope.
Throw couple of smaller Infantry/monstrous infantry to flesh out the faction and I am in.

They are getting fleshed out. The Monstrous Infantry is below and will be out in a few months.

I would love to see some smaller Infernii infantry, too! I've gotten Scecchus and pledged for the mount, absolutely love their aesthetic.

I think the smaller Infernii troops will be Byzantii. In the lore the Infernii are being made to serve the Byzantii Emperor (or being instructed to), and the demons are much more of an auxiliary force of the Legions.

Apart from the Monstrous infantry above there is the Demi - demons who are with the Bzyantii on 40mm stands. There are a unit of them with Erebius to lead them. ..Whilst I know they are not pure Demons they still look demonic enough.


bah, beaten by 20 seconds.

Do you know what they're called, Denilsta? I couldn't find them when googling just now (there's a lot on Erebius Demiurion, but I didn't see a unit to go along with him, or what their name would be).

They're the In III Judas

and the rest of the Byzantii and their semi demon camels

and the Infernii for completeness

I see they're listed for February (funded two campaigns ago, back in April) but we haven't seen WIPs yet, right? Definitely interested to see how these turn out, thanks for the wiki links.

Looking at the last update there are no WIP's III Judas. .....However it appears the delivery date has slipped to April.

Hector Moran's scheduled to sculpt the Demi-legionnaires, so whenever he's available to sculpt them really.

The Infernii are also rumoured to have some sort of Deamon-engine warmachine. Also, it has been hinted that they'll get some sort of 30mm based infantry at some point. No idea on names.

Finally, at the risk of a telling off, all I'll say on the names is that Rob suffers from Bryan Ansell syndrome - every mini is named even though it isn't needed and has no meaning game wise. The musters have the unit names and a pronunciation of it. I do think the website is very poor in communicating the game, just the company is tiny at the moment and they're struggling for time to re-do it!

Oh, and Tim (who'll be running the Banelegions campaign) posted this in the KS comments:

I just approved some groovy pieces of art for BaneBeasts! (and I mean nice!) ;0) It's not aimed at the ardent Darklands fans, that's for sure (we're giving you guys and Darklands a break whilst the rules etc are sorted!) but the fantasy gamers and mini collectors might find some gems in there! It won't be a massive affair - circa a dozen total monsters to fund and they're adaptations of Darklands stuff with a generic fantasy twist (so swapping out historical or kindred specific elements for a wider audience and also adding the more high fantasy stuff such as the dreaded trio of races you don't see in Darklands!) - wait till you see the **c riding the armoured W*v**n! ;0)

Orc riding a Wyvern... *faints*
I so cannot wait

........I thought the whole idea of all these KS's was to expand Darklands by allowing Mierce to buy artist's time?

Darklands and Banebeasts/Banelords are two seperate ranges, and it looks like they've got someone focusing on the Bane-ranges exclusively which is a good thing.

Having a range thats accessible to groups who may not look at mierce usually is a great way of helping the range and the company grow.

Thanks a lot for the links guys!

Guess we are all playing Infernii when this game gets developed?
For some reason I am drawn to these more then the WH demons. Reminiscent of disciples 2 for me, if any of you know what I mean.

Rule book will be ordered come the next payday.
I dare not buy any actual infernii minatures until I am satisfied my painting skills are back up to decent enough level. Anything short of that is heresy!

The whole name/language issue if going to stay a sticking point but meh. The legions of dis shall one day be at my command!!!

Just bought this model which I've always craved with some post Christmas funds



Planning to steal the boar for a conversion . Thought about buying it via bits on the Mierce site, but decided it was worth it just to get the whole kit domestically.

Insanely awesome model - do keep in mind that the legs of the rider (up to the belt level) are cast as one piece with the mount. Not sure if it might cause conversion issues or not but best to be aware before purchasing

Did you want the boar armored/saddled? Curios why you went w the mounted version vs. Baintaac. Its a great model either way.

I really like this one,

and the head of Mr Piggy is ripe with potential for use in some conversion or other (I had to get one, not sure what conversion yet though)

(but you've got to make that back 'banner' removable if you use it otherwise it will snap)

I think he already bought it, so hopefully he already took that into account.

He mentioned checking out the bits on Mierce's webstore, so I hope he's OK...

...Fair points, both. Serves me right for rushing through a topic on the train

Yeah, I considered the unarmored version, but the pics of this one look much better with a lot more interesting details.

Thanks for the heads up on the legs, Bolognesus! I was afraid they would be one piece with it, but it would be "all too easy" if they weren't (to quote Vader )

Any thoughts on how you'll actually make the back banner removable, Orlando, or do you just plan not to use it? I like the appearance of ita lot, but hadn't considered it's fragility.

I really like it (even though it took ages for me to twig that it's meant to actually look like a goatman with its cute little jawbone arms and legs)

I've just run a long pin up the centre of the banner (the pole is wide enough to do so without any trouble) and into the body of the boar

so I can take it on and off without any hassle (it will spin around, but that's a small price to pay to make it transportable)

Gents, quick question for someone just jumping in.

I really like these sculpts, and love the fluff.

BUT, aren't these the same people that lost a load of people's money etc? I realise this might be all dead and buried now, I just didn't want to money into something that wasn't morally great without asking first!

Hoping I'll be told that I'm talking rubbish, as the models look great!

Yes.

Thank you. Now please leave that stuff behind. MM has done everything 100% correct since their independence.

So they are not connected anymore then? That's all I was after really.
