Well, bang goes my theory of him taking a few days off!

Much to the chagrin of our lass...

Well I really appreciate it MM. I only backed ks2 but you still let me get in on the cheap Angrislaug, whether it was a mistake or not.

If it makes you feel better, im going to have to end up building a Brythoniaid host because of it. Wasn't planning on it, but I suppose I'd better now.

Thanks again.

Speak of the devil . Just edited my post above regarding you, azrael, just post up if that's not correct.

Happy to do it, just PM me for PayPal details, my basic MO is take payment for the item, the we'll sort out shipping once the items are in hand.

Please realise that even those of us with access to the KS section only have access to limited items now...

Yeah, and cincydooley already took care of me last week . Just mentioning it since GiraffeX seemed to have missed out above.

Yeah, I was quoting you, but I did mean it for anyone who needs (and I do mean needs!) anything.

It isn't completely altruistic, as I get the cash back on my account for the orders!

I think I was able to sneak a quick Fomor pre-order in, but I haven't received a confirmation e-mail yet, and it has been a few hours...

I do have a confirmation number though!

Check your spam folder,

for some reason they're always getting marked as that (even then I've specifically green-lit the address)

alternatively log on to your Mierce account and you'll see it 'processing' under my orders o the left hand side

It wasn't in spam, and it is on the website as "processing", so I should be good to go!

Yeah, I got no email either but the order went through. Couldn't decide between dragon and hydra so got both! Awesome!

I'm not sure they do "confirmation emails" .......

I've always received them (including one from an order yesterday).

No gak? Hmmm. I wonder why I never have......

Yep, I've had one every time, apart from the first time, when I had to de-spam their email.

Maybe USA buyers don't get them?

Either way, the orders are in!

I sure have, till now (NL buyer).

I didn't manage to up my pledge as I wanted to as I decided proposing to my partner was more important. I tried to wrangle a way to use darklands miniatures to justify it, but I'm not sure how well Angelcynn ceremonial ring bearers presided over by a lovely monster would have gone down.

I think I'll be picking up an encounter host every other month if I can, especially if we get more sexy Brythoniad humans down the line.

Pfft. The twisted concept of priorities some folks have nowadays...

I know! I tried to argue that the money should go on getting Mierce to make a unique married couple for a faction of my partners choice, plus armies obviously. Alas that was veto'd, though I'm reliably told you only get one. Roll on Darklands 3!

Well, ya can't have it all

anyway, Mierce CS is really top notch; I've been a disproportionately annoying special snowflake over the past while and they're still not sick of me, apparently. Really happy with them

I didn't get home til late last night after an entire gakky weekend of driving 10+ hours round trip for a wedding for people I barely know and staying in an overpriced gakky hotel with no laptop, so then when I woke up this morning I went to order Angrislaug and poof, he had been removed 4 hours earlier :(

You have my sympathies.....but you can't have my dragon.

It might be cold comfort, but at least he'll be back at 20% off in the KS2 manager.

20% off of 80gbp rrp is 64gbp, not the 40gbp ks1 price. i can't justify $100 on a single figure... i could at $60. ah well.

If there's any model you should justify at $100 (which to me is still reasonable for something that size and detail) it's Angrislaug.

It's also a matter of having a budget where i can spend $60 right now versus not being able to spend $100 right now

I still amazed at the level of excitement and anticipation I have for this Kickstarter/Miniature Range/Game.

It really has been a long time since anything has piqued my interest to this degree.

Which, of course, means I'm in serious withdrawal right now for new/updates/previews/etc. !

I agree with you about piquing my interest. I backed the first one with trepidation (due to Maelstrom) but I already owned the Talos, Kraan, and Cormoragg and had fallen in love with the detail and I definitely wanted to get more. So when I started getting my first KS1 models... it really invigorated my love of painting fine miniatures. Personally, I had started falling away from playing miniatures wargames over the last several years (WHFB was my big love, and I didn't like 8th). So when KoW hardback was released last year my group all started playing it, and that game fit perfectly in my love of mass battles games. Since then I've painted 4 armies, tabletop "looks good from 3-feet" standard... but I've always loved beautiful centerpiece models, so I've found ways to incorporate my Mierce models as the centerpieces for them (Cormoragg for my Goblin giant, and the Norse trolls in there too, the Wyvern for my Orc Krudger on Winged Slasher for my Orcs, Talos for my fantasy Greek army, etc) and they are just amazing to paint. what's happened is that I love painting Mierce models so much I've come up with excuses to build armies around them! I'm going to pound out a Dwarf army next and then in November my Twilight Kin army which is all Gamezone and Mierce Khthones Gorgonares figures. Additionally, I'm almost ready to start painting what I hope to be my best painted army ever, composed of what I believe are some of the best miniatures ever: several units of Red Box Games Helsvakt and Gynnade Krigare and Horsemen, plus regiments of Mierce Tarvax and Sronax, GW Beastmen, and tons of the Fomoraic big baddies (Galagaak, Shaaroc, Kraan on bear, Chaagmuth on boar, Uuthull, etc). I thank Mantic for a fun ruleset for me to play, and I really love Mierce for making me fall in love with painting miniatures all over again!

Sorry, that was a little long winded, but I can't express enough how wonderful it is to receive a box of Mierce figs, marvel at the detail, assemble them, stare at them as my imagination runs wild, and start painting them... they're so great that they paint themselves! I've lost track of time while painting their figures. And then as army centerpieces, they make even a generic army with a quick paint job look amazing.

tl;dr
Mierce figs are great!

The Mierce figures I currently own are old enough to have square bases not the standard 30mm round ones

Unfortunately I got burned by the Maelstrom collapse so I had to stay on the sidelines for the first KS, but they demonstrated they got it together so I was happy to shovel them a few buckets of cash on this one.

judgedoug - that sounds completely legitimate and justifiable to me!

What does everyone use to fill in the slight but seemingly inevitable gaps on these models?

Is there one putty that reigns supreme over all others?

And it can't be...Liquid Greenstuff, can it?!?

I use greenstuff for the hairy guys (so's I can sculpt new hair in there). I also do the "drill to pin, green stuff on one side, superglue on the other, press and hold firmly for dozen or so seconds, bonded forever" thing for some of the heavier bits (like a hand holding a big weapon)

and I've also used Vallejo Mediums: Plastic Putty #199 (http://www.frpgames.com/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=13702&ref=goog&gclid=CJjXm-zhqLoCFQif4Aod1xoALw#.UmWOuPmsh8E)
which is a liquidy putty but dries rock hard.

If you'd like I can a pic of some of my unpainted but assembled dudes so you can see where I used putty on them.
