WTF is up with Torku? Does he have boob trophies hanging from it's neck? I think Mierce is taking ideas from Kingdom Death. The wrong ideas........

My least fave of the minis I ordered.
This is a "bone aberant" but had flesh everywhere, the vagina was just stupid, i sanded and filled mine with green stuff, not a prude by any means, it simply didn't fit the theme of the mini. Same with the hair, I have removed that to leave a pure bony skull...as befitting a bone creature.
Compared to the AMAZING Aradae Mawr, Griminn, etc, this one is just "OK"

Bummer, I kind of liked the zoomed out pic of it!

Any chance of a pic of your modified version? Doesn't sound too hard and I might try my hand at it if the model would work for a conversion I have in mind...

Also, what size base is it on?

The mouth looks a bit poor. Otherwise, this will be a really cool miniature. Awesome stuff indeed!

Torku fills a 100mm base

removing the vagina would be a trivial modelling job (I'll PM you a picture of what she looks like from behind as she comes out of the mould so you can make up your own mind)

My KRULL painted up by the talented Mr Mark Hawkins https://www.facebook.com/groups/395636463817767/

Nice

Really looks the part of one of the Infernii

Adding flames to it really makes it outstanding! It's really such an awesome miniature. It makes me smile every time I see one fully painted.

Anyone who has seen the mini's posted here really should get in on the next kickstarter. People had reservations at the beginning, but I have none now. They are hands down some of the best miniatures I have ever bought. Easily the best kickstarter I have backed in terms of quality. Really really excellent stuff all the way round.

Going to have to sort my own Krull out soon. Such an awesome beast.

Agreed, and I still have the BIG beasties to come.

Forget about quality. They actually delivered everything exactly on time too.

That is, all kidding aside, great news!

so I must have missed out, is there a NEW Kickstarter? or are thiese still models from the last one or is there a new kickstarter?

The one complaint I have is that on their website, it is very difficult to decifer how big or small the models are scalewise.
They used to have an outline with measurements but Ive bought several models from them and have been suprised at the actual size (smaller or bigger than expected) everytime.

There will be a new one (#2) starting this September.

This is kicking around...

there is no such things as miniatures being too big. remember; it's all scale. I'd love a to scale or near to scale D&D Tiamat for example, even if it was like 4 ft tall

I hope i can get an extra set of wings for the bird man. Want to convert him to Pazuzu (D&D) but paz has 4 wings (2 sets of 2)...so not sure how much work i'll need to do to the back to get them to fit, or if i can bend the wings (being resin). May need to cut em and resculpt a curve into them....

Also, for the hydra, is it just me, or does it appear to have a non even/non continuous join from the heads to the necks? like; not a gradual drop in scales... Will need to resculpt that area i think to make it look better...

I disagree- I owned Shaaroc, and it's not even in the top 5 tallest silhouettes in that pic (it's one of the ones in the group third from the left, with a raised axe). I felt the model was just too big... and it was hard to get a sense of scale when ordering it. They really need to get a standard 28mm model or the like in all of their pics, as Forgeworld sometimes does with the running man.

Actually, there is such a thing. Remember, it is all relative!

They have a bits service, if you search for Hrudinn (assuming you mean him by bird man) you should find a list of components as well as the kit itself.

I have the kit itself, and as yet unassembled, so if you want pics of the components to see how they fit, PM me.

Got to say, their snake thingies are pretty awesome and they casting is very good.

...You already have the Kthones?!?

Some of the Kthone's are pre-existing models

some were concepted during the KS and are still being sculpted

I'm waiting for the finished sculpts of all of them before I decide which one I'm using as the basis of a conversion I'm planning.

I also preordered Leofwen the other day too, purely on the concept art, hot girl on a giant stag, with their track record, what could possibly go wrong?!

Does feel we are overdue for some WIP shots of whatever is ongoing ATM.

i have decided on an army concept to use the khthones with plastic gamezone dark elves. dark elves ordered, just gotta wait for next paycheck for the khthones

ok..the bits are not showing up on the site. maybe cause the model is still set for pre-order?

Will check again in a few weeks about the extra wings.

Sanjay

Until the models go on sale officially they don't appear in the bits section

but if you were part of the KS just drop them a request and the should be able to sort a set out for you early

and UPDATE


the rules and musters (army lists) are now online here

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mierceminiatures/darklands-a-world-of-war/posts/584781#comments

Hedroc of Carn Maen

Firstly, Hedroc of Carn Maen is now sculpted, finished by Stéphane Simon this week! However, it will be a few weeks before he'll be cast up and sent out because Tim is on holiday. So bear with us ;o)





Brynhild Gunnblindi

A lovely surprise for us the other day was Juan Navarro Pérez' work on Brynhild Gunnblindi! She is going to look amazing, we think, but don't just take our word for it... have a look below.





Next week should see some WIPs of Angrislaug from Roberto Chaudon and Vókkinak, the Krokodar standard bearer from Benoît Cosse!

The Next Kickstarter

The next Kickstarter project from us here at Mierce Miniatures will begin on or around the 16th of September 2013.

It will focus on the full Darklands rules and, of course, will enable you to help our range grow. We will be hoping to create new miniatures for the Angelcynn, Brythoniaid, Fomoraic, Khthones, Norse and Ysians as well as fill out the Albainn and the Byzantii into ones that could compete with the rest!

We do sincerely hope you guys will take part! To that end, here's another snippet of what could be produced:

Mounted Axe Drunes. Welp, that's me into the kickstarter. I only have a few remaining mini's to get, but damn am I ever excited about what could be coming down the pipe.

So what's the likely contents of the next kickstarter, does anyone know? I guess since, only quick start rules were available in this one, then a full on, art and fluff filled book will be there somewhere? Anything else? Do you think there'll be new factions or just expansions on these ones? Maybe even have a few of the same starters and minis available? I'd be pretty happy if they just ran this one again with the nice big hardback book. Annoyed that I missed this one, the miniatures really are some of the nicest I've ever seen. So, any word on the content?

Alan

Brunhild looks amazing. Can't wait for KS #2. Hoping for some Eirann units.

They just put out an update that said the next one Is for full rules, expanded units for existing lines, and hopefully fleshing out of the Albainn and Byzantii. I'm personally hoping they sneak some Atlantes or Eirainn in there too.

Word is none of the existing minis will appear in KS2

what is going to be in is more stuff to fill out the factions

(I'd thought the full rulebook would be there too but with it being so close to the QS release I'm not so certain, as it seems not enough time for backers to play enough to make any nessesary changes)

Orlando

The full rulebook will be the main focus of this Kickstarter; you'd be looking at well into 2014 for its completion, so there's plenty of time to play.

Remember, I've stripped back the full rules for the QuickStarter, so a lot of it is already there.

Hope you guys enjoy the next Kickstarter.

Cheers

Cool, that makes more sense now

I'm waiting eagerly
