@Elemental - you can always ask us for a demo game! Be happy to provide you with one, depending on where you are.

Videos are being worked on too, it will take a while though.

The videos will help a lot, as will the 'quickstart' and/or 'just read these rules first if you're new here' sections.

Personally, I love a detailed 'crunchy' ruleset and I think the aim here was to make everything as clear and as unambiguous as possible.

I'm still waiting for my book to arrive - but the full rules are available on the Mierce website in PDF form - and once it does I'm planning on diving right in!

I presume you won't be able to make it to Western Canada for any demo games

I know that good videos take a while to make, but having tried to power through the rules online I'm a bit concerned about getting new people excited a bout a game with such a dense and somewhat inaccessible rulebook. Most gamers I know don't actually approach rulebooks by reading them cover-to-cover and instead just reference parts they need, so I think the robustness of these rules might actually help resolve clarity issues in those instances, but those videos would go a loooooong way to making the game more accessible to new players just starting out and learning the rules. "They have explanatory videos on the way at some indeterminate point in the future" is a tough sell.

We want to get more people into your game! Please help make it easier for us to do it!

The rules in the rulebook are the same as the ones we got in the KS1 quick start minibook right? If there are changes has an errata been put out?

New stretch!

For the Norse at £27,500 we have Tórlákr, Grimtroll:




Also, an updated colour version of the colossal crab:

I wonder how much larger the troll is compared to the "regular" trolls.

He's going to be a modification of the Blood Maw sculpt - so quite big!

What the hell Thats so great!

Here he is. Note the size chart

That does look pretty monstrous!

I'm in the same boat. I think the current trend for simple games can be taken too far, to the point where it just doesn't feel like there is any meat on the bone.

All for having depth to rules and mechanics, but as you say it becomes even more important then that there is good layout, and the rules while complex are still intuitive. It's a difficult game, this rules-writing lark

Oh wow, that does look like a proper improvement on the original walking pie-hole. (And damn, the size of that thing...)

Have tried contacting a couple of UK retailers (Firestorm and Wayland Games) and neither are stocking the rulebook apparently, which is a shame. So looks like direct order only unless any of the other shops deal with a different distributor.

Wayland don't actually stock Mierce stuff at all, which is a surprise considering they sell pretty much everything in the hobby !

You could try element games. They stock quite a few darklands resin minis & may be getting in the rulebook.

Great! Thanks for that, will give them a try

Element Games are the best - I even sometimes order from them over here in the US!

It's not really surprising - Wayland and the owner of Mierce have a bit of a history.

And yay! Got my shipping notification for the rules today.

Same here - looks like they've finally reached the "USA" section over at Mierce Towers!

Can anyone tell me when the Jutes will be available to order from the Mierce website? I missed the KS for them and I'm anxious to get my hands on some.

Drop Mierce a message to see if they are willing to open up to late pledgers - if yes, then join the Kickstarter! They've been pretty open with opening up, but the Wihtgar maybe winging their way to a release, so probably won't be available. However, the Gasts, Wihtax and Wihtboga are still available in the pledge section.

Very true! I had forgotten about that business..

There's also the 'reprise' infantry starter hosts on Savage hordes (and sh2) which, rather than a monstrous unit, contain a large monster (as well as a gbp60 host with a bunch of the big floaty dudes) Those are still open to backers iirc?
Not to mention the sh or sh2 ranged infantry hosts; there should be plenty to choose from if rob is OK with granting access to the 2 previous kses.

Who can run demo's in the UK and whereabouts? I'm in the south east so it should open up some options

@Badger - depends where you are in the south east, but if you pop on our forums - http://mierce-miniatures.com/forum you should be able to see who's available in that area.

We have a sell-sword - Rob Boyce - in London so he may be able to help too.

@Bolognesus - yea, if anybody wants access, just mail us.

Cheers
Rob

Tower Bānbreca...

echos of the ancient Goblin War Giant (now with Mirlton)



which is excellent as I really like that too

On Bānbreca:

Creator Mierce Miniatures 24 minutes ago

@George - yea... I expect Bānbreca to make it to £100 RRP eventually, so he'll probably be £120 RRP. Get Bānbreca while he's this cheap, trust me!

Creator Mierce Miniatures 24 minutes ago

You won't get the archers on top though - they'll be options in terms of numbers.

Of course we need to get to £50K for that to happen though, and I hope it does, as I'd like to pick him up!

and:

Creator Mierce Miniatures 9 minutes ago

Once we hit the next stretch goal I will put the Hydrar Unit up at £35,000. It'll be a full unit of five, Hirakoth will be retired, as they'll all be digitally sculpted.

£100 RRP though, so £75 here.

If that doesn't move you lot, I don't know what will...

Hydrar unit coming up! Better get a certain Highlord on the lizardphone

...he's already here.

At all times.

Considering I still haven't finished my Krokodar (and hopefully I'll be getting my mounted Agriosavra soon, and Srok's head), I'm not sure if yet another unit of monstrous infantry are what I need.

Now giant crustaceans and crab men? That's a spot in my collection that hasn't really been filled much, and I do have a fair amount of Formorians as it is....

Have there been pics of the Hydrar, that's not a unit term I'm familiar with from past campaign / art teasers?

Spoiler:

The words that spring to mind when looking at that are 'mental' and 'incredible'

Can't wait to see what the miniature turns out like!
