I wonder when (or if?) it will pass to retailers for sale ?

End of the month looking at this. Stuff that gets released is usually available for trade orders at around the same time

Brilliant, thanks for that

Some of these miniatures look fantastic. Hoping to get some of the 'big bad' things from here that the Infernal Overlords failed KS didn't ever supply..

Am just looking at some of the miniature galleries for Darklands on the Element Games website (have found it better than the official website to get a good view of the different existing minis and faction varieties. (http://elementgames.co.uk/wargames-and-miniatures/wargames-and-miniatures-by-manufacturer/mierce-miniatures/darklands)

All I can say is, oh. my. God. The miniatures are just absolutely stupendous, how is this game not at the top of selling lists? Even without the game and rules have already picked out several that are going to be in the painting queue.

I love good news on a Monday!

Well well well



My resistance to making Atalantes my 4th Kindred is rapidly collapsing...

OK, I'm a sucker for models with two-handed hammers/maces.

(And models with pumpkin heads too, oddly enough.)

And I was already in for...just about everything Atalantean too.

This one is great, and will make a great companion piece for Original Kretos!

Conand's minions!

I'm afraid they'll get me back again with the crab men.

Debating whether or not I need the giant crab lobster thing as well.

Dammit.

Don't look at the KS comments then. They're spilling beans on all sorts of sea like warriors...

Crab men

What a time to be alive!

Was taking a look at some battle reports from Darklands on the Mierce forums (.. I was only looking there, am not going to join, honest! )
then noticed they dated back from 2014 (!)

I take it is this the previous version of the rules, which will be superceded by the new hardbook release? Is there much difference between the versions of the games?

Oh dear , I might have to get those crab people

They're the quickstarter rules, version 0.1 if you like. They've had the main rules available as a download, but under development for the past few years. For more recent reports check out:

http://brotherhoodoftheraven.blogspot.co.uk
http://thebeerwaaagh.blogspot.co.uk/2015/10/darklands-battle-report-brythoniaid-vs.html

They're played with the recent rules.

Those crab 'men' are on 80mm bases, standing 70mm high!

They're...rather big!

EDIT:

Oh, and Highlord?

There's already been mention of...Fish-Men!

And...Angler-Men?

So, I ask you...can Shark-Men be far behind?

EDIT 2:

I asked for you Highlord - I asked for us all!

Are you ready...?

Creator Mierce Miniatures 25 minutes ago

@Alpharius - yes, shark-men and whale-men are on the table. Anything semiaquatic is, and if we ever do Darkseas... who knows?

Woooo!!!

Well now it's just super tempting

Thanks for that, zed!

Gah! I really want to get into the New Kindreds but they keep releasing stuff for the older kindreds.

What's the going rate for souls these days?

Love the huge crab and the Peat Beasts, I'll be sure to pick them up for Mordheim scenarios when they show up on the webstore in a decade or so

Update #6

£22,500 - Choloch, Servile Warrior of Dis
0 Comments
1 like

What's this? Two Infernii monsters? Well, why not... so here's Choloch, a mighty Servile Warrior of Dis, set at £22,500 to unlock!





Choloch is based upon the awesome Malacant and is an Elite Warchief of the Infernii, able to lead whole armies of demons of Infernus and, of course, their mortal allies the Byzantii!

Increase your pledge by £37 to purchase Choloch, who will only be produced in resin. Choloch is a SMALL MONSTER and so can also be included as a monster within in the FIVE MIGHTY MONSTERS reward!

Watch out for more MIGHTY MONSTERS soon!

That's a big axe. Compensating for something...?

Or.. you never know, you could try a new game that uses these beautiful minis to their full extent?

Well considering that the Mierce miniatures show the anatomical organs, especially the Infernii, you could check if he actually is.

The graphic says "purchase her" but I can confirm Krull is adequately equipped!

Hopefully when everything gets organised and not so...chaotic the game can finally take hold.

It says him in the size description. Maybe it's a Slaaneshi demon with both sets of organs.


All these demons and the giant skeleton are making this one hard for me to stay out of. I don't think my wallet can handle it.

Covered in the last thread - no point going over it again.

hoping for some Albainn love on this one.........

Got my first edition book in the mail today! Woot!

Got the rulebook and....well, for first impressions, this is the best-illustrated VCR repair manual I've ever read.

They sent you a vcr repair manual by mistake? ?

Lets just say Mierce haven´t followed the current trend of simplicity when it comes to rules design

 Pacific wrote:

I can't think of any other document I've read that refers me to "section 6.34.1.2.1", or where the summary of a fairly common action (fleeing) has seventeen steps, all in very precise, very dry computer programming language.

Maybe if I read a quickstart or light version it'd help, but right now, this seems like the clunkiest (as distinct from "most complex") system released this decade.
