Strange that CMON has zero presence at Salute, they should be promoting the game there. That and regular stocks of the new stuff over here would help to promote this game in the UK.
Plastic 2 player starter is excellent news. And those Shadow Caste models are pretty sweet (they're Dragyri right?). Do you think there'll be some Dragyri resculpts with the new book? The Fire Caste models are awesome but the older Ice and Air ones don't look as good imo.

The crew has been working on making sure you have the most up-to-date rules and using figures that are well-balanced. As such, there have been times where new units have been added or tweaked, but it never really felt like a new Faction Book was necessary. For such times, there will be Web Updates. These updates will include things like:
• A combined Faction Document/Cards PDF
• A new Faction Background PDF
• A set of printed Faction Cards (to replace the existing set)
The first of these updates will be the Kukulkani.
Doom Seer
Ixchel
Kaachika
K'u'Coatl
The story of these guys have evolved over the time they’ve been around. They’re terraforming part of Samaria to look more like their home planet. There will be expanded story of this group showing, among other things, that there’s another religion within the faction. The new units will show the adapting nature of the faction.
The next full book will be for the Dragyri. This will have all of the sub-factions within it. Like other faction books, models will be getting an update in rules as well.
New rule for the Dragyri: When you build a Dragyri list, you must pick a sub-faction. But you get points so that you can take other sub-faction models along with it. So there’ll be a bit of a mixing going on.
It will also have an all-new subfaction: The Shadow Caste!
These guys have been quietly altering the fates of people on Samaria for a long time, but now they’re taking a more direct role in events.
The Shadow Caste has a strong focus on subterfuge and taking over enemy units. Their “puppeteer” status will come to the fore in the game.
They also have “murder elementals” and “shadow elementals.”
Also in the works is a 2-player Starter Set. This will pit the Ice Caste versus St. Isaac. These forces will be 500 points each. There will be punch-out terrain, a special scenario, some D20s, and the models… in plastic! The Ice Caste figures will be new sculpts. It will cost in the neighborhood of $60-$70.
Other upcoming releases are token and other sets from Warsenal specifically for Dark Age.
There’s two different organized play packs for Dark Age. They will be available for local gaming stores. They will have cool things to be used as prizes for tourneys, campaigns, and leagues. Like with Wrath of Kings, it will have things like promo minis, pins, tokens, objective markers, and possibly other goodies (specifics still being ironed out).
And there we have it. Hope you liked that look at what’s coming out for CoolMiniOrNot’s miniatures games, Wrath of Kings and Dark Age.

No, CMoN did. I'm not paying $9 shipping for one mini.
Iain.
I'm confused!
Did you buy it, or not?
And is CMON's shipping that onerous?
It is that bad. I carted up an order and was like "hey this is in my budget!" then I hit the button and was like "whoaaaaaah.. never mind". It's just as bad on their Kickstarters but people still pay it. It just isn't as obvious since it's paid so far afterwards usually.
Meh about this months releases. Nothing exciting and new as those pics for warwinds have been around for awhile now. Possibly the calm before the storm of the 2 player starter/shadowcast/kulk
On the note of CMON shipping, is very reasonable. I just added Joans whole force to the cart to see. 6 blisters of 10 total models and its 6 bucks flat. Now if you want it priority its 25$ which is very expensive but if you order Sunday for example its almost a guarantee its there friday

AWESOME!
