You will also have access to existing items at discount, so feel free to browse the store and start drooling.

Mierce just released updated quickstarter rules and rosters, so it should be even easier to answer the warband question. I don't know how 'legal' any of them are off the top of my head though.

I'm sort of hoping that they offer lasercut templates as a less premium alternative.

Mierce haven't really gone in for the t-shirt/ art print sort of things, although there is a book of collected concept art.

Hi all, I'm new to Darklands (will be picking up the rulebook as part of my pledge) and would like to get two starter warbands to demo with. I'm interested in the Angelcynn and the Khthones, and would I be right in thinking that the recommended pledge levels give you a good starting warband?

Yes they do - just check out the "Recommended Pledges" below...



Also just another couple of questions, can I add to my pledge via the pledge manager after the KS

The £100 "Gold Spot" pledge will get you an excellent 500 "Gold Piece" (points!) warband.

So, you'll be halfway to your two warband demo set!

And you can absolutely add to your pledge after the campaign - though remember those funds won't help unlock anything during the campaign!

I don't think Mierce has done T-shirts as part of a KS, or maps/posters, but either sounds like a good idea.

Shoot a PM to Mierce - you never know!

EDIT: NINJA'D by Mierce!

The gold spot (£100) would give you a decent small skirmish warband, so for 2 forces you'd need to double it to £200 (which would also give £20 bonus credit for a total of £220 to spend). Not having seen the stats for the werewolf unit yet I can't say for sure but you'll probably need 10 for them to stand a chance again the Krokodars

There have been no T-shirts and the map has only just been done so we haven't got a hard copy yet (it should be in the main rule book, not sure if it will be in the QS rules)

I'd love to get it as a nice poster later too

Previously we've been able to carry on spending at KS prices until the minis hit the official release and nothings been said about this changing

The token/template costs are pretty much what you can expect for something being manufactured on a small scale, the tokens could be swapped out for whatever you wanted to use to mark the orders

as for the templates I'm hoping we get the outlines in the rules so you could print your own paper copies (and upgrade to nice acrylic when you're feeling ricker

Fomoraic Walrus Men?

Yeah, I'm in!

I also hope we get 'printable templates' as right now, the 'official' ones area bit too pricey to hit my shopping list!

I want so see one of the top painters doing some scrimshaw on the walrus mans tusks

My god . . . harpoon wielding walrus men!

Thanks for the quick responses guys, have downloaded all the QS rules and army lists will chevk them out.

Oh, I do so hope they add eggmen now. Just think of the gaming singalongs!

I'm so glad I chose to focus on Fomoraic.

I wonder what the most popular Kindred is?

I'm guessing that Fomoraic and Norse are up there at the top!

I see a lot of people talking about buying Norse, no faction really seems to be totally neglected, Ysians don't seem to illicit massive enthusiasm though.

I'm in for Erainn when they arrive already, so that will give me two factions, can't justify the cost of more just yet, but will give me enough to demo/recruit outside of the one or two guys who are buying in already that I know.

Ysians' human minis are among the best looking in my opinion. It's true that their monstrous units, especially of this KS don't look that good. When these minis will be realeased I suppose enthusiasm will return

Oh, it was by no means a commentary on their models, I just haven't noticed many people mentioning that they're collecting Ysians.

Maybe the ball gags stop them talking about it.

I'm collecting Ysians, for now at least they and Fomor are my main two kindreds (am also collecting Byzanti/Inferni and Brythonaid with a risk of Norse and Anglecynn).

I'm collecting ysians, but after Fomoraic. But during Norse. And probably kthones. And the occasional brythoniaid. Those infernii are nice too.

I assume Fomoraic are probably the most popular, or close to it, since they include analogues to two warhammer armies which opens up a lot of potential customers.

Awesome!

The only thing I don't love about this concept is the claws. I bought the chimera when it was first released and glueing in the claws was a nightmare. Would these be sculpted on?

My guess would be that it depends on the sculptor. Roberto Chaudon is doing Agriosavra on foot, and his Brythoniad models for the most part come with claws already attached. Angrislaug's hand claws, which would have been severely undercut, seem to be the only exception.

I was afraid you were going to give us a "Yo dawg, I heard you liked Lizards..." thing!

That. Is. Gorgeous!

Well, in a massive lizard way of course.

Very obviously heavily influenced by the Komodo, but that's no bad thing as those critters are all sorts of awesome.

Definitely one for the "don't need it, gonna get it anyway" list.

The damn slaughterers 'forced' me to start a Kthones army!

I want to buy just about everything you guys posted. Walruses, Lizard riders, Knife/ Scout Drunes, Cavalry Drunes... it's just too much!

That lizard looks a bit larger than cavalry size though.

I'm hoping when we see actual Savrar units all the WFB Lizardmen players crawl out of the woodwork to get some extra foot troops, and are then hopelessly dragged into the world of Dark Lands.

Big lizards like that will hopefully help have some extra crossover appeal. It seems to be working for the Formoaic!

Reading through the Khthon musters, we need a lot more units. A LOT.

I do like the fact that it looks like we can have Angedern run a full Draig group. No more pesky humans in my armies!

Highlord, Angedern can now field Angrislaug in his command group, however if he is the general he must take a unit of Dyndraig, using 25 of his authority..

Meaning we still can't field a full Draig kin force once we need to muster a 2nd commander. Check the muster rules specifically 4.3, a commander must have a lower authority than the general. What we need is a higher form of Draig commander.

The humans have a Teyrn and Uchelwyr, currently the Draig only have their equivalent of the Uchelwyr.

I really like that walrus man, but for me its all brythoniad at the moment. I am temtped to adventure towards the Norse as a 2nd faction, but im really holding out to see the Atlantes. I'm immensly happy with the models I already have for Darklands, Angrislaug is fantastic.

I don't think the Walrus man's tusk look right - they don't look attached to the upper jaw (I would have thought there would be a bulge where they go into the mouth)

Lizard - Hell Yes!

I'm collecting Norse and Khthones at present, Khthones without too many snakes or Hydras, not a fan of those models personally.
