First look at Monstrous Infantry unit deals

http://www.mierce-miniatures.com/ksnk/starter_host_ok_monstrous_infantry_large.jpg

This is unfinished and has some errors in (which is why I'm not posting the image, I'll wait till Rob fixes it)

for example the Brythonaid unit gets a project exclusive warrior Ffion not Parawan

image fixed so feast your eyes

I agree with Alpharius about the horsie and rider being a bit too specific with that new krok.

Give it a good rock to pose on. Litter the area with bones and I think it'd be perfect.

That would work better for me too!

As it is an 'alternate' I suppose I can just skip it - but...but...it is a giant Crocodile-man!!!

I don't think it's actually an alternate though.

Considering the size it would have to be, that looks to me like a totally new figure.

Plus even if they somehow used Kadamastar as a base, the way the body is rising up would demand a total resculpt.

I'm okay with a new krok though!

Just posted...

Creepy...and awesome!

Holy. Crap.

Still not into the Jutes?

feth it.

Anyone need a kidney?

im a little worried about the chances of this KS hitting the 110k. I need those monstrous hosts!

Just got me a new credit card. And I like zombie spiders. And all the infantry... Freaking Mierce man.

Last time I got a giant spider miniature (the Araknarok from GW) my wife threw it.

So naw, prob not

Has Rob said how big the Dreaguth are going to be?

They'll be on a 50mm base

I aint going anywhere near that spider, cant stand them and that's the last thing I'm going to see before I go to sleep....

Big Croc is very cool like the dude in his mouth but would prefer him on a rock to the poor horse though.

I was thinking earlier about the potential Dark Lands has when you consider what a small part of the world they've covered so far. There's so much potential they could be bringing out miniatures for many years to come. Looking forward to some nice Vampire minis and Egyptian based ones down the line.

Thanks, just saw that the Thain will be 50-60mm to the eye. So I guess those aren't human skulls!

Did this one show up yet?

Brythoniaid Concept - Rochdu, Cawrdraig

That should crack down on those wishy washy "counts as" types. Commit to alternate history dark ages!
Or just give the horse a bionic eye and you're covered.

Lol

I'm not wishy-washy, I do counts-as with everything!

I think they are. They'll just be taller than the average human and their cloak will give them a large presence

And now for this Bronze Horde:



Oh, and this:

Skrund, Oghureach Nhund

I will say I want to know if the project exclusives are going to be available individually?

I ordered most of these starters on the last kickstarter so dont needs the whole infantry set but some of the new models Im interested in.

So if you back can you still pick up the new individual models or must you buy the whole group?

Nope, you can buy them separately. They're listed on the various stretch goals images as £15 each or you can buy a set of 8 if you wanted.

And the next reveal:

That Atalantean Monstrous Host?

Sealed the deal for me there!

All the Erainn pics leave me cold. Likewise all the Albainn. Lucky, I guess, since I already have 4 kindreds and am v tempted by Jutes too!

I like the Erainn host individually,

but as a set biggest tree, big tree and tree unit all look too similar (and 2 arm/2 leg/head-torso anthropomorphic). I

I'd have liked to see either something completely different for at least one or a variation in limb number/position to show they aren't just 'man in a rubber suit'

but hey, since I like the first 8 kindreds and the Jutes I suppose there has to be one sort of miss amongst the set

Any word on who will be sculpting the new monstrous kindreds? I've watched Darklands since the very first KS and that monstrous Atlantes has finally finalized my pledge.

I'm now a lot more interested in this KS as I've not fancied any of the bundles as I have already brought all of the multi man units I want. Probably going to leave it till the end as I need to see what FW costs me at Warhammerfest first.

Atlantes - Hector Moran, infantry; Roberto "speedy" Chaudon the bull
Eirann - Valentin Zak, infantry; Allan "can I haz your babies" Carassco the Bog Creature
Jutes - melon-fething Aragorn Marks

Valentin Zak sculpt:



Hector Moran sculpt (good god he's amazing)

Ah, that explains it- I wasn't sure what was nagging at me about them, but that's just it.

I do like them individually, but you're right, as a group I'd like to see more variety.

One could have gone the Ents route and modelled them after different species of tree (although that might have been hard to do and not look like you were ripping that off.)

I agree though, the Eirainn were the faction I was most interested in on paper before the launch, and are now the least. Still like the concept though (and would make a nice second faction to my Fomoraic) so hopefully as the range expands there'll be more that gets my nerd bone stimulated.

Now this is more like what I want my tree monsters to look like



from the sound of it this may well be a reworking of the existing banelegions Oácyning

I think the extra branches make it a much stronger concept
