Dreāguth Deathbringer for the Jutes:



He's a wizard and a fighter, that morning star is a lantern as well.

Oh that is beautiful. New Stretch Goal?

I was trying to stay out of this one to save my wallet, but those Jutes....

No goal for him yet, so your wallet is safe for now...

I'll have to throw in the base pledge to hold a spot. Hopefully that guy becomes a stretch goal soon.

Khthones preview!

Gorgórargós

Reptile approved.

Still not a Dewindraig though.

It is almost like these types of things fire up some sort of hidden Highlordin' Signal!

Oh yeah shes nice, I hope shes sculpted by the same person who did the gorgorars unit as I prefer their proportions.

More concepts, another Leiptroll for the Norse:

That is awesome!

And I've already got a lot of trolls for the Norse Kindred!

Leiptrolls have been teased quite a few times - I hope they finally make it in!

Magicians and sorcerers everywhere! Malus of Antioch, Magus Infernum Primus

Oh god, something else that looks like it will be really amazing. And the Pseudo-Roman style.


Damn you Mierce. I don't want to put in for Byzantii. My poor wallet. I'm on a student's budget as it is.

New stretch:

£13,750 - Exclusive Nobles I

Here's a thing... in our previous projects we've produced a number of alternate warlords and warchiefs - nobles - exclusive to that project and only in resin. After numerous calls for their resurrection in metal, you can now purchase the first set of Exclusive Nobles, at £13,750!



We've brought you these guys because we have so many new backers from recent projects that may never have seen any of these miniatures, or had the chance to own them. So get hold of them now!

Produced in metal only and strictly exclusive to this project - you will not be able to purchase them anywhere else - these guys will be with you shortly, at £13,750, so get pledging for them now - because once they're gone, they're gone forever!

Does Enslaved Agriosavra come with two head options, or just one? I liked the open mouthed version of Agriosavra best, which is in the main picture, but I haven't see any sculpts come with alternate parts like that before so I'm guessing it doesn't?

Damn I like that Magus.

I had no interest in the Infernii, but that's a cool looking design. Especially if they end up having all those flames included as a scenic base.

Speaking of concept art, what happened to those Albainn ogre-centaurs from a while back? I think they were a missed stretch goal a few KS's back, did they get an update since then in one of the ones I wasn't really watching?

No they haven't been shown since, I was hoping to see the Jutgar but I'm doubting they will return in this kickstarter.

Cavalry are a "if we get loads of money" option on this KS (because I was asking about Cawrdraig in the comments), which is a shame as Cawrdraig and the ogre-centaurs are the two things I really want.

What were the jutgar? Living troops?

Does anyone remember some fish-man monster? I cant remember if it was a baalor critter or a ysian thing made from them.

Yeah they were pic below

If you're talking about Conjunct XIX for the Ysians we've only seen art for it,



(although I'd love it to hit the sculpting bench)

Oh my gosh, I need that thing . Probably not going to see it in the short term, but if we do I am all over it!

So, looks like some concepts are missed:

Update art for Maari, Reiver Witch:



And an alt-version. This one I wont display, but link to. The reason being is this comes with a NSFW warning!

Finally, this nutter:

Érainn Cruimther:

Maari was shown but it was on page 220, so it got buried quick! I'm not a fan of the alternate version, but really like that basic concept sketch above

Maari could totally hang with some of those Circle Druids.

Just saying...

Yeah! That's the one. That thing is pretty boss, hopefully we get it (and the critters its based on) one day.

I love the concept for Maari, she's a cool looking character, but I feel they need to do more to make her alt version a bit more different than the original.

I don't have any issue with her 'exposed assets', but if you look at any of they previous KS exclusives that Mierce has done I just feel like she needs some sort of change to her head or weaponry, or SOMETHING. Masked Nuala was a pretty subtile change, as are most of the 'helmed' versions of characters, but they really feel different. Perhaps a new hairstyle, a helm, hood, or a new top to her staff. A lovely 'come hither hand, or a frozen head in place of her weapon might be kind of cool too. At this point they're just not selling me on getting both versions.

On a side note, i had originally planned on painting her with pure white skin and hair, sort of an 'Ice Witch' motiff, but I'm realizing she's just going to look like 'Lady Death'.

I really like the artwork for the Fomoraic host and Maari, have Mierce announced who the sculptors will be, or is it too early?

I agree with everyone regarding the alternative Maari artwork, It's not very subtle is it?

New Update: Infantry Starter Hosts are back.

Due to popular demand, we've worked long and hard to bring you some fantastic Infantry Hosts to serve as a great introduction to Darklands and of course to bolster the armies of every kindred out there!

Here's all the Infantry Hosts you can go for in one graphic:

A few have been asking and it's been posted: A short summary of each Kindred's play styles

Albainn - very anti-magic, lots of giants and ogres that dish out good combat skills
Anglecynn - ferocious and fast but fragile, cunning and sneaky, these guys hit hard but find it difficult to survive protracted combats
Atalantes - strong and slow, the automata never break and are implacable enemies
Brythoniaid - swift, shooty death - the dragons breathe fire upon the enemy and the infantry shoot the rest
Byzantii/Infernii - solid infantry, murderous monstrous infantry and much hell fire to burn the enemy
Érainn - a good all rounder; nasty infantry and monstrous infantry, huge tree-beasts and life magic
Fomoraic - combat orientated; they're very nasty in combat, not much shooting and use the cold to affect the enemy
Jutes - the undead allied with humans; resurrection of warriors that die. They're quite slow, but very difficult to shift
Khthones - mostly monstrous infantry, these guys hit hard and use venom to debilitate larger enemies
Norse - fast and strong in combat, lots of flyers, but very little cavalry and ranged attacks
Ysians - ferocious creatures and corruption, the infantry are very good, but nothing has much armour to speak of


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Mad Nun anyone?

Nerys, Abades of Môn:

Wow, alt Maari is just lazy. I hope that gets more work!

The spear unit there looks pretty sweet though. I hope to see that in metal someday.
