Camel monstrous infantry starter?

That's tempting.

No one posted this? For shame!

Damn!

They're all so nice...

I might just end up getting all three new Kindreds after all...

I like all of those, very nice

Dont think we've seen this concept art yet

Braal, Srónacxv

Gaaaah!

Stop tempting me with massive ungulates!!

I thought I spent a lot of money on FEI but this is looking dangerously like eclipsing that now.....

So...

What you're saying is:

Rhinos are to Azreal13 as Lizards are to The Highlord?

Rhinos, elephants, goats....

Mammoths? Sabretooth cats? Sloths?

Sabretooths and sloths are not ungulates (hoofed animals) we all know Mammoths are just elephants in a Christmas jumper, but I allow pachyderms on the basis that they're often considered pseudo ungulates.

Camels?

They would be exciting, but I'm mainly focused on Fomor, so for the sake of my sanity I just pretend I'm not allowed them.

Just looking through at prices for various models and I notice that the alternative Monstrous Commanders are more expensive than their normal versions, retail price is £25 but the pledge map says £30. Other exclusives remain the same price for different versions from what I can see.

Examples: Bloody Bagseg, Armoured Cearl, Armoured Scecchus, Greathorn Ckaarakk

An extra £5 for an exclusive seems odd to me.

I'm really hoping we hit £110 for those new Commanders, this could end up being very expensive as I wasn't planning on picking up the new factions. Those three would break me though

Such a shame you are on the other side of the pond there Azreal. We could have one righteous drag out battle between hoof and scale.

Road trip!

Also, at £94K we'll get concept art for the Érainn Fianna.

That may well decide whether or not I go for Érainn - or resist!

Some of Mierce backers who are members of the Painting Buddha gold academy have voted for Mierce painting guide for their next series of videos. Painting Buddha have just posted the first part of a series on painting Aanchuth the cursed. First part is for painting fur. Nice video:

Warm blooded, furry mammals vs cold blooded reptiles with our weather?

We'd literally murder you while you slept!

Nu uh. We's got magic reptiles to combat your terrible weather!

The evidence is in all the battle reports.

Snakes stomp Northmen and their dimwitted trolls on their home turf every time. Those blindfolded zealots and their homemade monstrosities haven't fared much better!



I guess someone is going to have to post up a Fomoriac vs Khthonic battle one of these days. Once I get my quickstart rules I might just run a scenario between the two of them myself.

Hey, do I see ratmen on their website for Darklands? There's only a handful of models, and I guess they're not part of this kickstarter, but someday... someday....

Aye, the Vras. These fellas:

Well, that's what I get for skimming. Excellent.

I've got more than enough Fuzzy fighters not too far from you highlord. Not to mention, plenty of Ysian circus freaks! Though the latter are in need of assembly. (i haven't received my flesh drune yet)

I'm thinking this summer some of us so cal people (there *HAS* to be more than just the 2 of us) ought to try and get together in a central location for a good and proper game.

By summer we should probably have the official rules as well as time to paint the things we all have languishing in various states of assembly.

I'm trying to get folks around here into it. If we end up organizing, or I hear about any groups playing it, I'll keep you informed. But I agree, next summer when the book is out, we should try to set up a big SoCal meet, maybe at a con like stratigicon, or at one of the Game Empires (they're pretty big stores).

Just passed £94k and, as a reward...

Fianna Female Warrior (without chainmail corselet):

@Zed thanks for the heads up on the video.

I hope they do a nice video on doing the textured and wrinkled skin on the trolls/demon models. That's something I really want to see before I even try to paint my larger models.

*sigh* I just upped my pledge. I'm still keeping things under control though. I put in for 22 pounds. Not much, I know, but at least with this, I can get an undead dude and a werewolf. I'd love to get a whole werewolf pack, but alas, not enough money.

I wonder if they'll do hyena men someday? Or maybe some jackal men?

48 Hour email goes out soon. Hopefully we'll see a big push. I know weekends are normally slow, and this is ending early Monday morning US stateside. Hopefully we hit the new kindred commanders at 110k.

Has anyone done research to see when the best time to end gaming Kickstarters is? I'd assume Thursday evening or Friday for payday maximization.

Not a bad theory...

I'd go with late Friday, to catch all those Left Coasters after they've had a chance to arrive home from work too!
