Ysians! Nithings!

It's a fine day for an update, so why don't we give you one?

This week we have:
•sculpt work in progress images from Martin Lavat;
•a list of what miniatures are currently being sent in their various waves;
• an updated list of sculptors and sculpts for this project;

...and anything else you can expect from us over the next few months.

Let's begin!



As this project is almost complete, there won't be many miniatures to show from here on in. Today we have a couple to show off though, from Martin Lavat!



It's been a long time since Gondard and his Nithing were completed, but we've managed to get Martin Lavat to finish those Nithings and Flesh-Piles off to bring you the unit!



Yrag is a little Nithing, a nasty little back-stabber with wandering hands and a bit of a gurn.





He's also not very happy with his current situation, it seems!



Another happy little Nithing, is Bil, who likes nothing more than to find bits of creatures on the battlefield to bring to his master.







These guys should be Wave 11; watch out for those Flesh-Piles next week...!

Ravens... and Done!

It's update day here at Darklands: Monstrous Mounts, and it's a momentous one - because this project is now complete!

This week we have:
•sculpt work in progress images from Allan Carrasco;
•a list of sculptors and sculpts for this project;
•...and anything else you can expect from us over the next few months.

Let's begin!



As this project's miniatures are now complete, there won't be any work in progress updates from here; we may well do the odd update to show painted versions of the miniatures produced by Darklands: Monstrous Mounts, but we'll see.

Regardless: this week we have the final miniature to be completed for this project, by the stupendous Allan Carrasco!



As Allan Carrasco sculpted Birna, we thought it would be appropriate for him to convert her to ride the Fellhrafn (so wonderfully sculpted by Roberto Chaudon, of course). How right we were!









Birna on Fellhrafn will be a Wave 11 shipment...

Men, Ogres, Trolls, Trees, Wolves and Crocs

We have another fantastic update for you here today, on Darklands: New Kindreds - because we've eleven works in progress to show you!

This week we have:
•sculpt work in progress updates from Allan Carrasco, Benoît Cosse, Didier Fancagne, Yannick Fusier and Valentin Zak!
•an updated list of sculptors and sculpts for this project;
•...and anything else you can expect from us over the next few months.

Let us begin!



It's all alternates from Allan Carrasco, Yannick Fusier and Valentin Zak this week, with three completed full sculpts from Benoît Cosse and Valentin Zak!



Bloody Bagseg is an alternate version of the mighty Bagseg, the Oghurithne Umaer. Trolls beware!







Bloody Bagseg will be a Wave 11 shipment.



Valentin Zak has kindly provided us with the warrior versions of the Gairlom banner bearer and herald!





The alternate versions of Nectan and Fidaich, Nectaich and Fidain are looking very nice...



That's the Gairlom done - it's Wave 10 for these guys!



As well as Bloody Bagseg, Yannick Fusier has now completed work on the warrior versions of the Oghurithne banner bearer and herald!



The alternate warrior version of the Oghurithne banner bearer is Dungab!





We do love these Oghurithne. Such cool expressions!



Beglo is the alternate warrior version of the herald, which meant a completely new face. Yannick hasn't disappointed!







That completes the Oghurithne Unit - huzzah! These guys will be a Wave 11 shipment though.



It's Allan Carrasco Alternate Day again, starting with the superb Leaping Creoda, which is now complete.





Leaping Creoda will be a Wave 11 shipment!



It's been a while since we've sean anything from Didier Fancagne, but unbeknownst to us he's been working hard on the Beasts of Síleann Fen...



A warrior from the unit, Tanaíann is looking rather beefy... for a plant!









I wouldn't mess with him...!



Gearreag is certainly upset with someone (or something), possibly because of what's happened to his back... ouch.







We're hoping these guys will be a Wave 11 shipment, as Didier informs us he's starting work on Cru Creach shortly...



Next up is Spike Qaano, a wonderful alternate of the original Qaano, of course...





Spike Qaano should be a Wave 11 shipment!

We've also given Allan the awesome Srónox, Cqaa, which we're very happy about as he's going to be absolutely superb!



Heeeeerrree's Aggrakk, the mighty Krokokh of the Khthones, sculpted by Benoît Cosse... complete!







Now, we asked Benoît to beef up the arms and legs after seeing the above, so here's the completed version.





Aggrakk will be a Wave 11 shipment!



With the awesome Great Axe Thórrir, Allan Carrasco's alternate work is complete!









Great Axe Thórrir will be a Wave 11 shipment!

Æthelglyth!

We have a cracking update for you today for not only can we bring you news of more metal production, we can also bring you a superb new sculpt!

This week we have:
•sculpt work in progress updates from Yannick Hennebo;
•an updated list of sculptors and sculpts for this project;
•a list of what ships, when;
•...and anything else you can expect from us over the next few months.

Here we go...



This week we have a totally new miniature to show you - well, a resculpt, really, but you get the gist - from the awesome Yannick Hennebo!



The lovely Æthelglyth is part of the Anglecynn Gesith Infantry Host, of course, and has been lovingly sculpted by the amazing Yannick Hennebo - who can do women like no other sculptor. Ahem.











Æthelglyth will be a Wave 11 shipment (in both materials), along with her host, we think.



Three Infantry Hosts have been shipped!

Three infantry hosts have been shipped so far - the Anglecynn Duguth, Brythoniaid Rhyfelwr and Ysian Ax-Drune Infantry Hosts - as well as the individual miniatures within them; and whilst some people have not received theirs that will be because they do not have enough shipment items to split their orders into separate shipments.

What's Next?

We're expecting the first sets of the Bow-Drune Infantry Host in a couple of weeks' time; we've had the samples and they're perfect. Once the production versions come in, they'll be sent out immediately in accordance to shipment items.

We've sent seven hosts off to the metal casters - the Brythoniaid Teulu, Byzantii Legionarius, Érainn Tuanagh, Fomoraic Gabrax, Fomoraic Warriors of Baalor, Jute Wihtgār and Norse Holumann Infantry Hosts. The samples for these should be with us very soon and then production will start.

Unfortunately the Albainn Gairlom Infantry Host is still waiting for the two Gairlom alternates, but once they're with us that host will be off too; but we'll have to move those back to Wave 11, whereupon lie the Anglecynn Gesith, Byzantii Demilegionarius and Atalantes Oplites infantry hosts currently reside.

Monstrous Infantry

We've had to make a decision on whether the monstrous infantry within each infantry host will be made in metal or will be resin only, a decision based upon cost more than anything else; if, for example, it costs more to make that monstrous infantry in metal than it does in resin, then it is not cost-effective to do so.

That's what's happened with the larger monstrous infantry from the various hosts, and why we haven't yet done the Brutes in metal (from the Ax-Drune set). Simply put, anything too large will now only be cast in resin, and sent with the metal host when it arrives.

The following monstrous infantry will be made in metal:
•Albainn Oghurithne
•Anglecynn Werwulf
•Anglecynn Wælwulf
•Byzantii Demilegionarius
•Fomoraic Tarvax
•Fomoraic Toracx
•Jute Drēaguth

The following monstrous infantry will only be made in resin:
•Atalantes Mesokolossos
•Brythoniaid Dyndraig
•Byzantii Skorpion Minor
• Érainn Fen Beast
•Norse Troll
•Ysian Brute

The upside, of course, is that giving you the monstrous infantry in resin has actually given you a better deal...!

Gul-Gabrax and Oghurithne Hunters

Welcome to this, the first ever Friday update for the Darklands: Savage Hordes project!

This week we have:
•sculpt work in progress updates from Michael Anderson and Yannick Fusier;
•an updated list of sculptors and sculpts for this project;
•a list of what ships, when;
•...and anything else you can expect from us over the next few months.

Here we go...



This week we have some totally new miniatures to show you, for Gaalgar's Herd and the Hunters of Cait!



The lovely Michael Anderson has begun work on Gaalgar's Herd, and he's actually got armatures done for all of them; but he's only pushed one further than that...



One of the warriors of the unit, Culgaar looks like he's going to be utterly stupendous...







We think the unit will be on time to ship as part of Wave 12.



The fantastic Hunters of Cait, the Oghurithne Hunters, have their first member - courtesy of the splurgingly speedy Yannick Fusier...



Ungad is the Oghurithne Hunters' Champion, and looks superb. Especially as he's virtually done!









With Yannick going this fast, it shouldn't be too long before these guys are done - so we're hopeful of a Wave 12 shipment!

@GiraffeX - that version of her has never been funded, the one that's been sculpted is the one in the Gesith host

is that an alternate from Savage Hordes perhaps?
