My rule book and Monstrous stuff has been in the " Packing" stage for a week. Hopefully it ships soon.

That's about how long mine took too - thankfully it is on its way now.

I think the Mierce ships things out in the order in which people place them, so if you get your order in/finalize it soon after the Kickstarter ends, you'll be toward the front of the queue for that campaigns' stuff.

Holy gak, dat turtle tho

Hopefully we get a more modestly sized one at some point that isn't upright infantry.

Yeah, that turtle is awesome! But I'd also welcome a more moderately sized one

Was it hinted where it is in the queue? Take that art, put it on a 60 - 80mm base... Oh man, would be epic!

This is Darklands!

Actually, I'm sure there will be some 40mm/50mm 'infantry' types and then some mid-sized beasts on 60mm to 80mm bases as well, eventually!

This may be because I discovered some old Dino Riders toys over the weekend, but that turtle looks like an excellent platform for a ballista...

Heck, just about every creature on a base over 80mm is fair game for siege equipment and warmachines, I say...

Now I sort of want turtle cavalry. Never gonna happen, and that's almost a shame. Almost

What 'starter sets'?

Do mean 'hosts'?

And the rulebook has started shipping - you're in the UK, so you probably should have received it by now!

Yeah I mean hosts! I kinda see them as starter sets (this games desperately needs them!). I'll be waiting a while for them as I don't think.they have even started my Atlantes host yet. I paid for single shipment but if I knew that the Atlantes were going to be pushed to the side temporary I would of paid for 2 shipments!

What have you ordered? Atalantes are still being worked, so it'll be some time before they're ready to go. If you're other stuff is packng it means they're ready and you should be able to buy another shipment item to get them dispatched quicker...

Purchase another shipment item Overtyrant, and we'll send what we can.

Cheers
Rob

Ooo, look, an armoured Fiend!

Armoured Ubal:

I'll look into it today. I have the June's and Rulebook from the first metal KS though I can't run demo's until the Atlantes are done. Thanks for the info.

... reposted ...

Nice turtle

I didn't notice anything from the Atlantes infantry starter host from the first Metal Age KS in that list, unless they have changed the names of them.

I think it's because the sculpts were originally from "New Kindreds"

I see them now, thanks.

I'll admit to only partially understanding what ships when to whom (?) too.

I'm fairly certain I've always paid for multiple shipping waves, but then there's some formula beyond that that will determine...things.

For example, I paid for 'one shipment wave' for monstrous mounts - I got 4 of them, they're all done, and I recently got a shipping announcement for some stuff and...none of the Monstrous Mounts were included!

It is some combination of when you lock in your order, how many waves of shipping you purchase, what's available when the ship a wave for you and...some other stuff!

Don't forget that some Monstrous Mounts stuff has been sculpted, but not yet sent out. And, because you made me, this might help:

---------------

A note on waves:

First Edition: Waves 1, 2 and 3

First Edition 2 and Monstrous Mounts: Waves 4, 5 and 6

New Kindres: Waves 7, 8 and 9

Metal Age: Waves 9, 10 and 11

What the rule is: if you want to receive something from a specific kickstarter, you need to pay for a wave from that kickstarter. However, the more waves you purchase, the quicker you get your stuff. Also, as long as you've paid for more than one shipment for a particular kickstarter, they will also more likely be happy to spread your shipments out. For example:

For New Kindres, you bought two shipment waves

When you're first batch of new Kindreds models are ready, they'll use one of your purchased New Kindreds waves and send you whats ready.

For your remaining miniatures, anything ready will be held until the entirety of your order is ready to be sent

You also backed Metal Age and bought two more shipment waves.

What they tend to do is (but no guarantee), when you're first Metal Age items are ready, they'll usually add in the New Kindreds stuff that's ready with your first send out so you get your metal age and New Kindreds order.

You'll then wait until either your New Kindreds or your Metal Age order is ready in its entirety before the next send out. Again, if you have stuff waiting for dispatch from a previous kickstarter, they'll add that in with the current order.

Also, here's what's coming up with each wave. I've excluded Savage Hordes and onwards to avoid confusion, but that's due to start at wave 12:

£31,250 - Cowering Fiends of Dis, Armoured Fiend Unit
0 Comments
1 like

With five days to go, here's something very awesome - and very near! - to aim for: the superb Cowering Fiends of Dis, an Armoured Fiend Unit of the Infernii set at £31,250 to unlock!



The Cowering Fiends of Dis are based upon the Infernii unit the Craven Fiends of Dis, gaining half-helms, pauldrons and scuta (shields) to become Armoured Fiends. Wild Monstrous Infantry, these guys pack a huge punch and with shields to defend themselves they are also tough to take down!

The artwork shown above is in draft form; each will have slightly different shields and half-helms, and we'll update the stretch goal when we have the final artwork.

Increase your pledge by £75 to purchase the Cowering Fiends of Dis unit!

Watch out for more stretch goals very soon!

Maybe Kingdom Death already used a lot of their body horror ideas? It's ok with me my wallet appreciates the break.

I'm excited that my Metal Age Norse warband should be showing up in the near future. WIth Mierce and Red Box Games I'm going to have one sweet Viking/Varangur army to paint.

A second Fir Danu warrior. Ruairí:

that little axe looks sooooo cute!

£26,000 - Great Axe Krull
0 Comments
2 likes

With Ammon in the bag, it's time to bring out the big gun in the shape of Great Axe Krull. Set at £26,000 to unlock, he's at this project's special price of £75 - almost 50% off the retail price!



Great Axe Krull is, of course, based upon the mighty Krull, one of our very first big monsters. He's huge - he stands on a 120mm base and is around 170mm to the top of this wings - but don't take our word for it: have a look at the scale image on the graphic!

Increase your pledge by £75, which is almost 50% off his retail price, to get a hold of Great Axe Krull.

Watch out for more stretch goals soon - especially the advent of many monstrous infantry units and a new "FIVE GARGANTUAN MONSTERS" reward!

And a concept!

Murderous Cúlaítar:

There's also a new pledge level up. £350 for five of the biggest monsters they have (The Terror, The Kraacken, Krull, Angrislaug and a large monstrous infantry unit)

How many days do I have to work out if I need a second Krull?

3.5 now

This one finishes at 6am UK time - Rob made a little mistake in choosing the end time!

I saw the finish time and though he was targeting US backers this time round.....
