Update #24 Mar 11 2016
Ogres, Goat-Men and The Dead
Crikey. Here's another update for Darklands: Savage Hordes. What is the world coming to?
This week we have:
•sculpt work in progress updates from Michael Anderson, Yannick Fusier and Edgar Skomorowski;
•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...
We've yet more of Gaalgar's Herd to show, and of course those pesky Oghurithne Hunters of the Hunters of Cait have more work done to them as well; but you're all waiting for the Jutes, aren't you? Well, we have the Wihtboga and the Wihtax...
Yannick Fusier really loves doing these Oghurithne, because he's now completed the Hunters of Cait, Oghurithne Hunter unit in double-quick time!
He's been done a while, but it doesn't hurt to remind you of what Ungad, the unit champion, looks like...
He'll be a Wave 12 with the rest!
Agala is the first female Oghurithne we've seen, and she's lovely!
Well, in a miniatures sense...
The last member of the unit, Wrad is looking utterly superb.
There's still a few minor details to sort on the crossbows, but that means the Oghurithne Hunters will definitely be a Wave 12 shipment, Miercenaries! Rejoice!
Michael Anderson is really nailing these Gul-Gabrax... just look at them!
The champion of the Gul-Gabrax unit, Gaalgar, is really getting there now. We love this guy!
Hopefully he'll be done shortly!
The banner bearer of the unit is called Raagar...
"Raa! Raa!" said Raagar...
The herald of the Gul-Gabrax is Sraangar...
"Toot! Toot!" said Sraangar...
We've seen Culgaar like this before, but let's show him again for completeness' sake...
Just the horn and weapon to do...
A warrior of the unit, is Gongaar...
We still think the unit will be on time to ship as part of Wave 12.
Edgar Skomorowski's work on the Wihtgār has been rather well received, to say the least, so when he agreed to sculpt the next units of Wihts we did quite a few happy dances, here at Mierce Towers. The Wihtaxas were the first...
On with the show...
The champion of the Wihtax unit is Alfweald...
He's a bit grim...
The first warrior is Ealdred...
Another grim-looking fellow...
Cenred looks the part...
These Wihtaxas are superb miniatures!
The fourth warrior is Wasere...
The coolest looking Wihtax of the lot!
The last warrior of the unit is Oscetyl...
...these guys will definitely be a Wave 12 shipment!
The Wihtaxas are, of course, alternates of the Wihtboga miniatures, which are equally superb.
Edgar Skomorowski, we salute you!
The champion is Ænna; he wields a bone-bow!
That bone-bow is superb...
The awesome Eglāf will shoot you in the face...
...or the bottom. Don't run away from him!
Ceneric is a warrior, a bow-armed warrior...

...and he's lost his lower jaw somewhere. If found, return to the pub!
Easily our favourite of the lot, Wassa is a menacing fellow indeed...
...coming to a battlefield near you.
The last member of the Wihtboga unit is Octha....
These guys will definitely be a Wave 12 shipment!
There's not much to say here, except - there's a while to go before the first miniatures are shipped from this project, so keep watching the updates to see what will make it into that first Wave.
Here's an up to date list of what we think will be shipped when.
• SHIPMENT WAVE 0: (complete): Existing miniatures
• SHIPMENT WAVE 12 (June 2016): Hunters of Cait, Oghurithne Hunter Unit (Ungad - Agala - Wrad) - Gaalgar's Herd, Gul-Gabrax Unit (Gaalgar - Raagar - Sraangar - Culgaar - Gongaar) - The Betrayers of Ceafor Barrow (Alfweald - Ealdred - Cenred - Wasere - Oscetyl) - The Sinners of Chessell Barrow (Ænna - Eglāf - Ceneric - Wassa - Octha)
Items in bold will DEFINITELY be sent in that wave as we have the sculpt; items in italics are in progress and should make it into that wave, but we don't yet have the sculpt. Items not in bold or in italics may still make it into that wave, but may not.
You can still purchase everything from this project until the following deadlines:
• Individual Miniatures: until they ship!
Keep watching this list as it may well change - and if you have any issues with the above timings, please let us know and we may well be able to push the deadline back a little for you.
Here's the big list of who's sculpting what and when for Darklands: Savage Hordes! Please bear in mind that this list may change over time, so don't take it as set in stone until the first work in progress shots appear.
New Sculpts:
• MICHAEL ANDERSON: Michael has begun sculpting Gaalgar's Herd, starting with Culgaar... and he's almost completed them!
• STÉPHANE CAMOSSETO: Stéphane should be sculpting the Freemen of Scīrbrōc, Bowmen of Scīrbrōc and Sigewulf's Pack.
• BENOÎT COSSE: The lovely Benoît will be sculpting Chaaruch the Despoiler, No-Claw's Burrow, Gukkok's Blades, Gukk's Javelins, the Firekin and Goatskull Aanchuth
• YANNICK FUSIER: Yannick has completed sculpting the Hunters of Cait and that concludes his work for us on this project!
• MARTIN LAVAT: We'll give Martin Archer Birna and Guliant's Web, as well as the Hrafnar of Stafangr, the Hrafnen Bowmen and the Storm of Khthon
• YANNICK HENNEBO: Yannick has tons to do of course - he has Alix of Carn Bran, Archer Mildryth, Garric, Slinger Caitrín and the Auxilia Ballistarius on his plate.
• EDGAR SKOMOROWSKI: Edgar, amazingly, has completed The Sinners of Chessell Barrow, Wihtboga Unit and the The Betrayers of Ceafor Barrow, Wihtax Unit. That leaves the Gāsts, The Hateful of Mordain Grave!
• VALENTIN ZAK: Valentin will be sculpting the Crossbows of Dun Durn.
Not many sculpts or alterations for this project - or at least, on top of those needed to get the units sorted from previous projects.
