Dark Age is a miniatures line inspired by the art of Brom.

http://www.dark-age.com/

As with most miniatures games where are comes first, Dark Age is very difficult to assemble. The joins are thin and no mercy is shown to the poor soul that has to pin it all. With this set the artist worked double time to get some really dynamic bases and positioning to add narrative.

The bases are made with a lot of pieces from the new GW Cities of Death terrain, but we carefully avoided any imperial insignia showing up.

The challenge with this project was to get flat colors to have differentiation of layers, but still be flat, dark and smooth. While it may not look it, there are numerous layers to achieve the colors, each on working on thelast. Typically: thin paint base, glaze, high-light, re-glaze, re-highlight.

This is representative of what Blue Table considers Level 5 and 6 (level 7 would be display quality).

Hope you enjoy!

Beautiful stuff, as always. What's the scale of those miniatures?

**MagickalMemories**

Thanks for the kind words.

According to the Dark age site, these minis are in the 25 - 33 mm scale.

Thanks again!

Dark Age Miniatures are anywhere from 26mm to 54mm, averaging around 32-33mm

Are those the standard Dark Age bases, or are you using something special? Because they look sweet.

**MagickalMemories**

That's the bases... It's what they come with.

They really ARE cool.

You should check out the Dark Age site at the link above. There's some really sweet eye candy there.

The bases are the same as for War Machine (by Privateer Press). They are the bases that come with the figures. They have a small lip which holds in the gravel-- that's nice.

Here's one place you can buy them: http://www.thewarstore.com/privateerdarkagebases.html
