definite end date will be the 9th of Feb; it may start before/after the 18th though.
Another three weeker then.
I really dont get going 30 days. Most of us are paid bi-weekly. With not much advance notice, its better to give a full 2 pay periods. i'll always put at least the min on any Mierce KS to get in on the pledge manager, but think they might be shortchanging themselves.

Well, most UK residents are salaried monthly, so as long as it runs over a month changeover, then it'll catch them (some are last working day, some are last instance of a given day etc, but they'll invariably all be near the end) so I guess they either don't know or don't care about the US methods.

Surely a large percentage of their customers are US based... I think it's more likely shorter to avoid mid-KS slowdown, and also to make it more manageable to run. Since they launch one every 3 months, having a full month to maintain each campaign would be pretty massive (4 full months out of the year).

I've also got a bunch of unused funds as well. I need to go through the Metal Age and Savage Hordes and grab some of the Jute stuff.
The other big thing is I'm trying to fully catalog my incoming Kickstarter models, and I'm trying to get a grip on what's done, what's WIP, and what's not started yet for the New Kindreds.
The only thing I'm looking for and having some trouble getting any concrete information on is any progress on the Norse Troll weapon alteration models. I vaguely recall seeing that Torleik, the new troll model was done, but I hadn't seen if that there had been any progress on the Great Axe Thórrir, Jöllu with Two Weapons, Vörtun Troll Kappi with Two Weapons, and the Cleaver Felltroll. In the most recent zedmeister listing, it was stated that Allan Carrasco and Stéphane Camosseto were the sculptors, but there was no schedule really present or a estimated time of completion.

I am stuck waiting for the changes to the Armoured Brutes, which I just know is going to be after the metal Jutes I have ordered. Wish I knew how much longer Olivier was going to take to do the modifications, I am hanging out to get them!

Darklands is a tabletop skirmish wargame in which you command the hosts of man and beast that your ancestors once did for glory, power or simple survival!
To play Darklands with our fantastic range of miniatures, you need the Darklands: First Edition rules as well as the Savage Hordes download which combines the Muster Rules (which show you how to build a host) and the various Kindred Musters (which give you all the warrior profiles for every single miniature we have produced or will produce).
Today you'll be able to download the latest version of the Darklands: First Edition rules, which is the final version before printing, but the Savage Hordes download will not be available until next week.
Last updated - 8th January 2016
The Darklands: First Edition rules are (just about) complete!
We have been working very hard to put the Darklands: First Edition of the rules together for you as a PDF download, and whilst this has taken a bit longer than we'd hoped they're now ready for public consumption.
Darklands: First Edition download
You can download the rules that are available now in one document:
Note that these downloadable rules are not in the same format as the printed rulebook and do not include the first section (1: Darklands, the Game), which contains background material and a general overview of Darklands battles. We've got to give you something to look forward to! Additionally, there will be a few more graphics and diagrams in the final version.
Open in a PDF Reader, not a Browser
It is recommended that you open the above document in a stand-alone PDF reader application to read it or print it, rather than reading it in a browser.
Hunt down grammatical errors!
In the meantime, feel free to hunt down typos, incorrectly numbered headers, passages that don't make sense or any other grammatical errors and e-mail us at kickstarter@mierce-miniatures.com. The more people that scour the rulebook for these errors, the more we'll find - and there's still a bit of time to do so!
Printing the rules
We have already begun converting these rules into print format with some nice graphics and images, and it will look similar in style to the Darklands: QuickStarter rules.
We do hope to have completed this task shortly and will pass the final version to the printers in time for our reserved printing dates in January. We hope to receive the printed rulebooks in February - and we'll ship them as soon as we get them!
no pictures of WIPs today, apparently sculptors get Christmas holidays too!

As we'll be sending eight more infantry hosts (from the Metal Age KS) off to the metal casters very shortly we thought we'd better give you all notice that you've just ten days to get hold of the
Albainn Gairlom,
Brythoniaid Teulu,
Byzantii Legionarius,
Érainn Tuanagh,
Fomoraic Gabrax,
Fomoraic Warriors of Baalor,
Jute Wihtgār
Norse Holumann
infantry hosts before they're removed from the Mierce Miniatures webstore forever!
If you can't see them, ask for access!
You will only see these items in the webstore if you have backed their parent project, of course, but if you do wish to join in to grab them, simply reply to this e-mail requesting access and we'll sort it for you.
Wave 10 Hosts removed on the 25th of January 2016
To re-iterate - the following hosts, together with their contents as individual purchases, will be removed from the Mierce Miniatures website on Monday the 25th of January 2016, at midnight GMT

I didn't back the KS, but now have the opportunity to buy some of the soon-to-be-gone metals. Am I right in thinking that if I order Wave 10 stuff, it'll ship pretty much immediately?
I would guess so, but since they are still a bit backed up with shipping i'd contact them and specifically ask if having them by a specific date is important

@Zed - so am I Zed. What I have lined up will blow your minds - especially for the Fomoraic...
Zedmeister about 4 hours ago
How are you structuring this one? Similar to the last one (host based) or more freeform?
Creator Mierce Miniatures about 4 hours ago
@Zed - it'll be like the last one, but more structured. You'll have £10k to £50k (in increments of £10k) stretch goals up front, so you can see what you're getting - I do think the last one suffered for that, i.e., you only saw a couple of stretch goals.
We've tried to run the last few projects as "running unveils" - i.e., we unveil the next stretch goal to aim at, rather than giving you loads at the start - but I believe that the £10k increment stretch goals right at the start work better, with unveils in between. I think it excites people more!
Should be anytime now, really...

Does this mean there's a Walvox lurking somewhere...
