November/December retail and trade releases:
MIGHTY MONSTERS AND MONSTROUS MOUNTS
We're late with the releases again this month, so we've skipped October to bring you November's beautiful BaneLegions and Darklands miniatures! Again, this means we've a few to bring you, from four different Kickstarter projects - Darklands: First Edition, Darklands: First Edition II and BaneBeasts: Mighty Monsters, as well as the first releases from Darklands: Monstrous Mounts! These seventeen releases represent the eleventh, fifth, second and first set of releases from those projects respectively.
For BaneLegions, we have Gore-Fang - a huge driller killer Rat-Beast - as well as his companion, Master Converter Kemp-Kemp (designed by an old friend of ours, Wayne Kemp of Heelanhammer fame), a Rat-Warlock with some arcane contraptions strapped to his back! We have lots more for Darklands, of course: the Albainn get a hold of Ciniod on his Aurogg, a huge monstrous beast; the Anglecynn gain a superb new infantry unit, the Gesith, comprised of five warriors armed with sword and spear; another monstrous mount appears for the Byzantii, the amazing Erebius on Behema (sculpted by the master himself, Dan Cockersell); the Fomoraic get a combined hoof and mounted for Brunchaath the Vile, a beastman of ill-repute and smelly feet; the Khthones have themselves a superb new three-headed monster, Khallas the Hydrakh; and lastly the Norse gain another unit, this time monstrous infantry - the Hrafnmenn known as the Corpse Takers!
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.
--------------------------------
EREBIUS, DEMIURION ON BEHEMA
It's been a while since a miniature sculpted by Dan Cockersell has been released, but let's rectify that right now with his latest masterpiece (originally drawn up by Stef Kopinski) for the Byzantii! Enter, stage left, Erebius the mighty Demiurion on his superb monstrous mount, the Behema!
--------------------------------
CINIOD, UMAER OF DUN DURN ON AUROGG
Another superb sculpt for the Albainn by the awesome Aragorn Marks (from the equally awesome artwork by Sam Lamont), Ciniod is a bare-chested, ginger-bearded warchief riding on a mighty Aurogg... which is perfectly able to trample all over his enemies!
--------------------------------
WOLFBORN, GESITH UNIT
With the release of the Gesith - sculpted by Stéphane Simon from the artwork by Danny Cruz - the Anglecynn now have a superb unit of elite, hearthguard infantry to complement the veterans known as Duguth. Armed with sword and spear and bearing heavy armour and a shield, the Wolfborn are led by the unit's champion, Egbert, and contains a banner bearer, Wulfric and a herald, Hrothgar, as well as two warriors, Cerdic and Wigstan.
--------------------------------
BRUNCHAATH THE VILE, GABRAX TAIN ON HOOF AND ON GOORACX
A foot and mounted - well, hoof and mounted - release for the Fomoraic is Brunchaath the Vile (one of our oldest miniatures), sculpted by Benoît Cosse from the original artwork by Stefan Kopinski! Putting them both together as a single purchase ensures you save a little money from purchasing them individually, of course.
--------------------------------
KHALLAS, HYDRAKH OF ÝDRON
It's been a while since the last Khthones release, but the wait has been worth it because the three-headed Hydrakh known as Khallas (sculpted by Roberto Chaudon from the artwork by Tom Mahon) will give his enemies something to think about!
--------------------------------
CORPSE TAKERS, HRAFNMANN UNIT
It's another unit for the Norse this month, and this time it's a monstrous infantry unit. The Corpse Takers are a fantastic unit of five Hrafnmenn - raven-men - sculpted superbly by Roberto Chaudon from the excellent artwork of Dan Warren. The five are led by the unit's champion, Gríminn (which was released a while ago now, as he was completed long before the rest) and contains four warriors - Ormrinn flying from a broken ship's mast, the female Agni, the awesome Oddr and the sneaking Kolskári. Fantastic miniatures all!
--------------------------------
GORE-FANG, RAT-BEAST
Converted by Tim Prow from Flint-Fang, using the artwork of Dan Warren, Gore-Fang continues the releases from the BaneBeasts: Mighty Monsters project and is a cracking addition to the BaneLegions range. That drill looks like it could come a bit keen!
--------------------------------
MASTER CONVERTER KEMP-KEMP, RAT-WARLOCK
Designed by an old friend of ours, Wayne Kemp (of Heelanhammer fame), Master Converter Kemp-Kemp has been lovingly sculpted by Tim Prow from the excellent artwork by Wayne England. Need a Rat-Warlock with some arcane contraptions and a great big whip? Call Kemp-Kemp!
All of the releases above were officially released on the 7th of November 2015, and so you can order them right now.
