October's Releases

It's been blimmin' ages since the last set of releases, so let's make amends for that with nineteen - count 'em! - nineteen whole releases for your purchasing pleasure! All told there's fifteen for Darklands and four for BaneLegions, a veritable plethora of miniatures of all shapes and sizes.

For BaneLegions, there's four Orcs on Wyverns - two fightery types, Buggrom and Grimbash, and two shamany types, Queefus and Shazham. For Darklands, there's Rēoc's Pack (comprising the unit and three individual miniatures) for the Anglecynn; the Snorting Toracx (again, a unit and three individual miniatures), Taai-ac the giant wolverine and Cqaa the enormous rhino-man for hte Fomoraic; the brutal Aggrakk, a huge croc-man, for the Khthones; Egil Dead Hand the Hrafnmann warchief, the amazing Birna on giant raven and Torleik the Troll for the Norse; and the quite foul Blunt-Claw on Goz-Horror for the Vras and Ysians!

Sadly, we've not been able to get them painted in time for release, but the miniatures themselves are fantastic as always - and just like the previous releases, thanks to us being busier than busy bees we've just not had the time to get the release art and descriptions done; but you can still see some good images of each miniature on the website of course.

Rēoc's Pack, Frēawulf Unit



These guys are a great addition to your Anglecynn host for they're ideal to get around the flanks of your enemies. Rēoc's Pack - a unit of five Frēawulfas, or great wolves (comprising Rēoc himself, and two each of Brega and Hædo) - stand on 40mm bases and are easily the equal of a human. Dire wolves, basically! Sculpted by Benoît Cosse from the artwork by Danny Cruz.



Taai-ac, Ferocious Cúgacx



Taai-ac is a mightily powerful giant wolverine as big as a very big bear, and that's why he stands on a 60mm base. A powerful beast with a ferocious temperament, Taai-ac was sculpted by Benoît Cosse from the artwork by Steve Pierce.



Snorting Toracx, Toracx Unit




Another unit of powerful, ferocious beasts, the Snorting Toracx comprise three different miniatures, one of which - Báintaac - was released ages ago. Complete with the unit leader, Taachka, and the joyfully leaping Ckamaac, the Snorting Toracx won't hang around in the face of the enemy! Sculpted (again) by Benoît Cosse from the artwork by Stefan Kopinski and Dan Warren. These guys stand on 60mm bases of course!



Cqaa, Thundering Srónox



Sculpted by the ever-amazing Allan Carrasco from the artwork by Danny Cruz, Cqaa is a huge rhino-man-beast even bigger than the Srónax, for he stands on an 80mm base and can easily overcome the most powerful of opponents. With that mighty horn, who could doubt it?



Aggrakk, Krokokh Warrior



Not content with a unit of five croc-men (the Slaughterers), the Khthones get themselves a huge croc-man even bigger than those guys. Standing on an 80mm base and wielding a hammer bigger that could crush a human to pulp in seconds, Aggrakk is a great addition to your Khthones Krokodar host!



Birna, Dottir of Hrafnen on Fellhrafn



Time for some Norse, and where better to start than with the comely Birna? She's already released on foot, of course, but we've given her a fantastic mount to scout and flank and dive upon the enemy - an armoured Fellhrafn! Sculpted by Allan Carrasco (Birna and armour) and Roberto Chaudon (the Fellhrafn) from the artwork by Danny Cruz, Birna on Fellhrafn is a fantastic centrepiece for any winged Norse host!



Egil Dead Hand, Hrafnmann Jarl



More winged Norse, this time for the Hrafnmenn, sculpted by Roberto Chaudon from the artwork by Dan Warren. Egil Dead Hand is a Hrafnmann Jarl, a leader of Hrafnmann, and has a little more equipment and bearing than the rest. Together with the Corpse Takers, the Hrafnmann Unit, the Norse can really fly...



Torleik, Two Axe Troll Warrior



Staying on the ground this time, the long-awaited additions to the Trolls are trickling in. Torleik is the first new Troll to join the Norse for a good long while, but the wait has been worth it - it should be, thanks to being sculpted by Allan Carrasco from the artwork by Stef Kopinski! The unit of Two Axe Trolls should be with us soon, once Vörtun has been converted two wield two axes, of course.



Blunt-Claw, Vras-Lord on Goz-Horror



We've saved the best until last (well, for Darklands). The zany craziness of Sam Lamont (artist) and Yannick Fusier (sculptor) have produced a miniature without compare - you'll find nothing else like Blunt-Claw on his Goz-Horror, complete with cooking utensils, full cauldron and draped dead bodies as well as horrible breath, nasty teeth and poky spear. There's so much going on with this miniature it's almost impossible to describe him! Suffice to say, any ratty army would benefit from this guy as its centrepiece...



Grimbash, Orc Warlord on Wyvern



The first of four Orcs on Wyverns sculpted by Tim Prow (Orc) and Gary Morley (Wyvern armour), Grimbash is a bog-standard Orc Warlord with cleaver and shield, sat up on a mighty Wyvern (converted from the Brythoniaid Wyvern, Typhaggahw, of course).



Buggrom of Ulmo, Orc Warlord with Great Weapon on Wyvern




The second of four Orcs on Wyverns sculpted by Tim Prow (Orc) and Gary Morley (Wyvern armour), Buggrom is an Orc Warlord with great weapon, sat up on a mighty Wyvern (converted from the Brythoniaid Wyvern, Typhaggahw, of course).



Shazham, Orc Shaman on Wyvern



The third of four Orcs on Wyverns sculpted by Tim Prow (Orc) and Gary Morley (Wyvern armour), Shazham is an Orc Shaman with staff, sat up on a mighty Wyvern (converted from the Brythoniaid Wyvern, Typhaggahw, of course).



Queefus, Bone Orc Shaman on Wyvern



The last of four Orcs on Wyverns sculpted by Tim Prow (Orc) and Gary Morley (Wyvern armour), Queefus is a mental Bone Orc Shaman with ceremonial skull and a nice hat, sat up on a mighty Wyvern (converted from the Brythoniaid Wyvern, Typhaggahw, of course).

All of the releases above were officially released on the 1st of October 2016, and so you can order them right now.

Watch out for the November releases, which should be unveiled soon!

Gul-Gabrax and Ceorl

It's Mierceday again! Not much to show this week, but progress all the same...


This week we have:
•sculpt work in progress updates from Michael Anderson and Stéphane Camosseto;
•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...



This week we have a Fomoraic miniature from Michael Anderson and some Anglecynn miniatures from Stéphane Camosseto!



Ahh, the lovely Chaaruch the Despoiler. Frankly, we think he's an amazing miniature. Behold him!







He'll be a Wave 15 shipment!



The Ceorl Bowmen are definitely progressing, as you can see, thanks to Stéphane Camosseto's ministrations!



Lots of progress on Mutch, and he's looking great.











We're hoping the Bowmen will be a Wave 15 shipment, but we'll see...


Wave 12 and 13 shipments have begun
Waves 12 and 13 have begun, but it's early days yet. We will try to get everything out as soon as we can, but there's a lot to ship - and as always we prioritise orders in date sequence; i.e., if you ordered early, you'll get your stuff sent early.

What we're saying, basically, is - please be patient! We are doing everything as fast as we can without compromising on quality.

Note that we've had to push the Gāst unit back to Wave 15 as it's not printed yet.

Metals will ship at separate times

Something we have spectacularly failed to mention is that the metal versions of miniatures will ship at least one wave later than the resin versions; it takes a while to get them ready to be cast in metal.

Now that we're used to working with the external casters we can give you a little idea of what goes on. Usually, it takes at least a month to get the master metal moulds from sending the miniatures to them; and then we must check these masters for errors and then either amend or okay them. Then they go into production, which takes another month.

Whilst we are using a metal caster that are second to none in terms of quality, they are so busy it can take a while to get miniatures from them!

• SHIPMENT WAVE 14.5 (November 2016): Daachuch the Broken - Warrior Daachuch - Gaalgar's Herd, Gul-Gabrax Unit (Gaalgar - Raagar - Sraangar - Culgaar - Gongaar - Aalgar - Sraagar)

Items in bold italics denote those that have been produced in sample form, and are just awaiting production versions after any corrections.

Items in italics are in mould-making progress (as we have all of the miniatures required for that host) and should make it into that wave, but we don't yet have the first samples.

We reserve the right to change any of the above dates without notice.



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.

Not many sculpts or alterations for this project - or at least, on top of those needed to get the units sorted from previous projects.

Nerys, Kaarstan and Maari

We have an update here on Darklands: Savage Hordes II, and it's a good 'un...

This week we have:
•sculpt work in progress updates from Valentin Zak;
•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...



This week we have something for the Brythoniaid and the Fomoraic thanks to Valentin Zak!



The awesome Nerys is everything we wished for and then some. She's done, and bloody awesome!









She will be a Wave 15 shipment!



Valentin keeps up the good work with Hunter Kaarstan, who is looking amazing.







He should be a Wave 15 shipment, we hope.



Once again Valentin shows he is one of our best sculptors, especially of infantry. Maari is superb. That is all.







She should be a Wave 15 shipment... she only needs her hair.

Saairen Maari will of course appear after we've cast Maari and sent her back to Valentin.



Wave 0 has shipped

Wave 0 - the existing miniatures from this project - has now shipped, unless you did not purchase an "Existing Items shipment item" of course.

There's not much else 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.

Metals will ship at separate times

Something we have spectacularly failed to mention is that the metal versions of miniatures will ship at least one wave later than the resin versions; it takes a while to get them ready to be cast in metal.

Well I left it at that on the KS.

It's Rob's choice who to give commissions to, just as it's my choice whose miniatures I buy.
Roberto is a perfect example of the quality sculptors whose work I am happy to pay Mierce's top-shelf prices for.

I'm not a gamer, I don't HAVE To buy an army that fits in with the ruleset, so I pick and choose based solely on the quality of the sculpt.
But as long as the backers with deep pockets pick up anything and everything, I guess I cans ee Rob's point, business is business.

I just don't want to see a gradual slide down in quality when the financial returns start to outweigh the artistry and passion that started the endeavour.
I'm, not saying that's happening here, or happening yet, but we only have to look at what has happened before, Rackham, and of course GW.

Once I see that the higher quality sculptoirs are getting less work "because they are expensive" I start to worry.

That's it in a nutshell.
