That's actually one of my issues. Of the miniatures I've pledged for, (outside of the Jutes) there's roughly 17 miniatures that are already reported to have been sculpted, and 4 others were alteration sculpts, which I have no idea if they are done or not. It's that there are so many that are sculpted that haven't been shipped to me is what's got me worried.

What are you currently waiting on bud. I'm pretty up to date in terms of knowing where each of the sculpts progress is

Also:

@Nergal - £50,000. Get pledging people. I want to see all those people moaning about no Sávrar backing this project, because the alternate will be the Sávrar with shields and swords, at £55,000!

£50K seems so far away though...

**RoninXiC**

Yeah.. but it has made a few bucks over the last shorter time.

Already responded to that, but reposted:

Spoiler:

Also, I think we'll reach that goal especially if more surprises like the Gul-Gabrax appear...

**Alpharius**

Zed - that was my mistake!

Not sure why I quoted that post (again) - but it is probably useful to have that list roll over to the next page anyway.

So again, thanks!

**RiTides**

The Gul-Gabrax look really nice

Savrar are excellent! £50K should hopefully be doable by the end...

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

Also from the sounds of it the already complete Savrar are being re-worked (more/different tail bends?, should be simple enough with appropriate heat) to fit on 30mm bases

I totally missed that! Hmm, not sure what I think. I really liked the original Ágriosávra, who is by far the biggest (and standing up straight):

Eikovra is much shorter, being hunched over, and the tail is indeed what takes up much of the base (but is also awesome):

Finally, Myrkranio takes up the least amount of space and in general feels by far the smallest, which is fine for a shaman:

Like I said, by far I prefer Ágriosávra's size for the models in general, it just feels right. They're also quite slight and his size helps with that a bit. Note the difference in height of the front row models in this group shot, with 3 Ágriosávra and 1 each of Eikovra and Myrkranio:

I could also see the fins needing to be thickened up a bit in metal. Overall lovely models, but it's going to be really challenging to get Ágriosávra down to a 30mm! These are all 40mms in the above pictures.

**Bossk_Hogg**

Maybe they should just leave Ágriosávra on a 40mm? He is the big boss, right?

**decker_cky**

Savrar at 50k and 55k should both be reached. That's exciting, since that likely means two sets of bigger beasties and two difference characters. That boosts Kthones into a legit model line finally.

**Bolognesus**

Weren't Gorgonares and Gorgorares already mainstay when mustered under a commander of their respective realm/kin (I can never remember...) already?

**decker_cky**

I think because of how hodgepodge the Kthones model line was, they were mainstay regardless of the commander (I'll admit that I haven't looked at the rules in a while).

I'm just saying the Kthone's were all big stuff, aside from a few small characters. Now there'll be a bit more variety and a lot more flexibility in the faction. They stuck out as a faction that never really expanded (Gorgonares and Gorgorares are conceptually, pretty similar).

**Bolognesus**

OTOH they have had crocodiles coming for a while now, and the liskar are pretty far along I think?
I have a bunch of Khthones and honestly, just the 60mm based units with equally large characters and a 120mm based rare or two added up to quite a significant army last time I grabbed the muster rules and checked. You weren't really that limited in your choices (as long as you weren't pinned on the idea of having small infantry).

Incidentally I actually kind of liked the idea of an army that didn't take puny man-sized infantry. (Then again the Savrar are more than enough to make me completely forget about that idea forever

)

**GiraffeX**

I'm really liking Gaalgars Herd they were a nice surprise.

The Sagittarii would have sold me though if I hadn't already have pledged, she looks lovely.

Update #7

Sep 30 2015
£27,500 - Chaaruch the Despoiler
0 Comments
1 like

To celebrate the smashing of £20,000 - and thus the Albainn Elbharu Support Host - we bring you another mighty stretch goal for you to aim for!

Following on from the Gul-Gabrax unit, here's a cracking stretch goal for the Fomoraic, Chaaruch the Despoiler, set at £27,500!

Chaaruch the Despoiler is a Gul-Gabrax Tain, a warchief well able to lead the Gul-Gabrax into battle and a nasty beggar to boot.

In this particular set (which cannot be split into its constituent parts, please note) you will receive a strictly limited edition alternate of Aanchuch - Goatskull Aanchuth - who brings with him a mighty artefact known as the Darkstone, a sorcerous rock which both empowers nearby Gabrax and daunts the enemy. The Darkstone is not limited edition, however - Gabrax Warlocks will be able to bring one to battle!

Increase your pledge by £20 to purchase the Chaaruch the Despoiler set in metal (although the Darkstone must be produced in resin), or £30 to purchase all of the set in resin.

**Joyboozer**

I do like Chaaruch, more stuff like this and I'll be in this one deep.

These are host champions. He revealed the Norse and Angelcynn one during the metal age kickstarter so expect more I reckon. The terrain is a nice touch as well...

**ulgurstasta**

Man a lot of cool Khthones and Fomoriac stuff going on, I´m in!

Lets see how much punishment my wallet can take

**RoninXiC**

Yeah.. goals like these should've been active from the get go :\ Project is pretty much stalled and I doubt much will change.

It's not like you'll get many freebies with Mierce (which I think is okay).

**RiTides**

The Chaaruch art is awesome! Lots of sweet goat models up soon.

Note that the other model is an alternate of Aanchuth, the current version of which is here:

http://mierce-miniatures.com/index.php?act=pro&pre=mrm_dkl_fmr_blr_wcf_361_000

I had trouble finding it because the name is right in the graphic but mis-spelled in the update text! I'm not as interested in the second model but yeah, the art of that first one is really tempting!

**highlord tamburlaine**

Damn. I got a weak spot for goats.

Currently building a cloven hoof warband for Song of Blades and Heroes with lots of pigs and goats.

I'm leaning towards a metal version so I don't have to worry too much about that weapon's chain getting broken.

**Alpharius**

I thought you were the Lizard-Man (and possibly the Shark-Man or Fish-Man) and your brother was the Goat-Man, Beastman-Man (!) or the Gnoll- Man?

Or something?

Either way - must make for interesting times at the ol' family Reunion!

**highlord tamburlaine**

He's always been into the gnolls and canines.

Reptiles and Ungulates have always been my things. Reptiles more so.

Since selling off most of my GW beastmen I've slowly been replacing them with Mierce stuff, supplemented by the occasional Privateer Farrow.

Can't believe these haven't been posted:

Again with the Brythoniaid facial hair! How I wish for more dragon types...

Would have preferred some woccor javelin throwers or some draigs lugging ballista around.

Atlantean Gort is pretty cool.

He's an Atalantean Iron Iron Man!

I suppose you could say he's the Bronze Age iron man.
