I'll be having one of those,

even if I could make it myself, it's a lot easier (and cheaper) to get those lovely folk a Mierce to do it for me

**zedmeister**

Even more. Atalantes are now unlocked and these have been added:

I am excited Jowan's hounds will be coming out in cheaper metal options, I wanted more of these but I could not justify paying their cost in resin.

**Alpharius**

Ys remains the one Kindred that does always nothing for me - and my wallet sighs in relief!

Also, I didn't really like Oso, but I love Gunaal - and my wallet cries again!

£30,000 - Anglecynn Gesith Infantry Starter Host
0 Comments

Wow! This weekend you guys are on fire - you're knocking those stretch goals over like nine-pins!

Thus, here we are again, with another stretch goal you guys can aim for - and this time we're bringing you some metal Anglecynn in the shape of the Gesith Infantry Starter Host!

Increase your pledge by £60 to get a hold of this infantry starter host, just like the rest!

Æthelglyth Resculpt

You'll note some interesting words in the above graphic - namely "Æthelglyth resculpt"... well, thanks to the amazing Yannick Hennebo being probably the best sculptor of females in the world, ever, we've decided to resculpt the lovely Warrior-Maiden of Mierce (one of our first miniatures) and get Yannick to give her the attention she deserves - once the above host is unlocked, of course!

We'll produce Æthelglyth in both resin and metal, please note. If you'd like to purchase her in resin, increase your pledge by £10 or, if you'd like to purchase her in metal, either purchase her as part of this host or purchase her separately by increasing your pledge by £6.

Because of Æthelglyth's resculpt and because our casters have a huge amount to do already, this host should ship in February 2016. They may ship earlier, but let's give ourselves room to manoeuvre, just in case.

More stretch goals to come!

**Azreal13**

I thought Savrar were 30K?

**Bolognesus**

Nope, those are much further up apparently. Next will be Fomoraic (warriors of Baalor) as per Mierce in ks comments.

**Alpharius**

So most likely NO Savrar this time around...

**Bolognesus**

Ayup.

Might be for the best -keep this focused on the metal-rejig and deliver promptly, what with the complaints of Mierce delivery times from kickstarter projects stretching further and further out.

**Alpharius**

With Fomoraic £32,500 and other Kindreds already mentioned as in the Stretch Goal Pipeline, yeah.

**Azreal13**

Looks like I'm gonna be a Jutes player then...

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

£32,500 - Fomoraic Warriors of Baalor Infantry Starter Host

Incredibly, the project sits at £29,000 - and with the second Ysian host now unlocked and the second Anglecynn host near, it's time to give you something more to aim at - the second Fomoraic host, containing the Warriors of Baalor and other goodies!

Unlocked at £32,500, increase your pledge by £60 to get a hold of this infantry starter host, just like the rest!

New Toracx!

The Toracx Unit included in this host contains an existing miniature - Báintaac - and two completely new Toracx, the first for this project in fact! We thought Báintaac was getting a little lonely...

If you'd like to purchase the Toracx Unit separately (and it can only be purchased as a unit of three, not individual warriors), feel free to do so... here's their prices:
• Resin Snorting Toracx - £45
• Metal Snorting Toracx - £36

We can't give you much of a discount outside the starter host as, of course, there are two completely new sculpts.

This host should ship in February 2016. They may ship earlier, but let's give ourselves room to manoeuvre, just in case.

More stretch goals to come!

**GiraffeX**

The first two new minis of the Kickstarter and they look nice.

29 hours to go I wonder what else we will see.

**Bolognesus**

The tarvox is as new as these (which are basically reposes of Baintaac!). Same with Coniunct. (And probably a few more)
Also, don't forget the drinking buddies, those are equally new.

**Prestor Jon**

I wish I had funds for this one. I already spent most of my annual hobby budget on Zombiecide BP and there are a few things I want to get in Bones3. I really need to sell off my 40K stuff and put the money into more fun projects.

Hopefully once the big rulebook is out the game will gain some more momentum. There's still some models I want to add to my KS1 Ysians but to get the best value out of the KS campaigns I need to go big and they always seem to catch me at the wrong time. If more stores in the US started carrying the game it would make adding a few models at a time much easier.

**Bolognesus**

Even a small pledge now will get you access to the 'pledge manager' store later on; if your budget might recover sufficiently in the next few months it might be best to get even just a small pledge in so you can get a nice starter host later on.

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

Well pointed out Bolognesus

The discount on existing minis tends to last for a month,

and everything else can be bought at KS prices up to just before they start shipping each wave

so the hosts with the new stuff in will probably be available up to Feb 2016 (or a bit later if things slip)

**Mymearan**

That's awesome, will definitely put in £1 if I have until next year to decide what to buy...

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

Probably best make that £10 as that's the minimum pledge

(just to make sure they get your email address etc)

**barnacle111**

Finally joined in.... So do I increase my Norse? Byzantii? Or albainn? Hmmm....

**Alpharius**

This thing looks great!

£33,750 - Egaendr, Gríthír
0 Comments
5 likes

The stretch goals are being knocked over so quickly that the monsters are getting left out. That's going to change, because here's a fantastic beastie for the Norse - Egaendr the Gríthír!

The mighty Egaendr is of course a Griffon, a Gríthír to the Norse, a huge lion-raven that stands on a 100mm base and is around 100mm tall. It may be wild and tempestuous, but some proud Norsemen have even been known to ride such creatures into battle!

Egaendr is based on the Ysians Ungefelic miniature (well, it's body!) and will only be produced in resin - he is too big to be produced in metal.

Increase your pledge by £35 to get a hold of him, a saving of at least 30% from the eventual RRP!

**GiraffeX**

Yeah really does look amazing.

**Azreal13**

I could literally spend every hobby penny on Mierce for a year and still not get everything I want.

But then, I want everything!!

**Slinky**

24 hours to go, any lurkers jump in now!

Really? No chance I could put in £1?

**PomWallaby**

£1 would be recognised by KS as a donation. I think the £10 pledge is fairly self explanatory. I'm currently only on a £10 pledge, wish it was more. I'm sure I'll add more when funds allow. This project has made new factions more accessible.

...funds low, mainly because I ordered a big Darklands figure this month. Great range.

**RiTides**

The conversion rate always hurts me trying to put in for £10 on the Mierce campaigns, that and the fact that you only get access to the old stuff for a month (but access to that campaign's models for later on is nice) and can't usually combine shipping. I usually end up asking someone else if I can jump on their pledge later, instead

(thanks, Alpharius!)

I think Wehrkind, who is localish to me, is going in somewhat heavily here so may end up going that route if I feel I must have something from here (but without the savrar unit that's less likely - not blaming them for not unlocking it though, Chaudon is a busy man already!).

**Wehrkind**

I think most of us around this side of the pond end up going in on various KS pledges of other people. I have...2 different Mierce things coming to me from others, and I think Creature Creater from you...

**RiTides**

Yep, Creature Caster (eventually

). It actually makes a lot of sense for all involved (imo) for people to combine, as it results in less available wargaming funds going into international shipping. Obviously doesn't unlock stretch goals, but if it's put in at the add-on stage then they also don't pay the Kickstarter fees.

**highlord tamburlaine**

Consider yourselves lucky if you've got Miercenaries in your area. Only one local to me is Barzam, and he hasn't succumbed to Darklands as badly as I have.

Since Khthon is probably a no go this time around I'm probably going to end up with some Fomorian infantry I think, especially considering just how many 100mm+ monsters I've accumulated for them.
