It's been a while, but Mierce have put out a new raft or releases to retail...
Beasts of the Bog and Other Animals
We're back on track, it seems, because we've got another wave of new releases for you all for both BaneLegions and Darklands, and from three different Kickstarter projects! This month there's four releases from the Darklands: Monstrous Mounts Kickstarter project, the very first release from Darklands: New Kindreds and there's two more from BaneBeasts: Mighty Monsters, too!
The two new miniatures for the BaneLords were both sculpted or converted by Gary Morley - Brazhag, an Orc Warlord wielding two big axes, and the Mighty Malek, a Black Ælf Lord on Dragon (the dragon was originally sculpted by Roberto Chaudon of course)! For Darklands we've the very first Érainn miniature - the awesome Beast of Cill Chonn Bog, Mórannach - and four mighty monsters, Oso for the Albainn, Brontull for the Infernii, Vaenhildr for the Norse and Back-Cracker for the Vras!
Sadly, we've not been able to get them painted in time for release (except for Mórannach, who looks wonderful), 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.
Oso, Aurogg
Sculpted by Aragorn Marks from the artwork by Sam Lamont, Oso (standing on a 100mm base) is a huge and powerful Aurogg, a monstrous herbivore from the deep valleys of Alba that is quick to anger and immensely strong - a combination the Albainn favour for their beasts of war!
Mórannach, Beast of Cill Chonn Bog
Sculpted by the amazing Allan Carrasco from the beautifully painted artwork by Sam Lamont (and amazingly realised as a paintjob by James Wappell), Mórannach is a mighty bog beast of titanic proportions (he barely fits on his 80mm base) and the very first release from the Darklands: New Kindreds Kickstarter project - and the very first Uí Néill release for the Érainn, too!
Brontull, Daunted Behema of Dis
Brontull is of course the unmounted version of the Behema found in the Erebius, Demiurion on Behema miniature, and has been sculpted superbly by Dan Cockersell from the artwork by Stef Kopinski - and the original Behema, which stood on a 100mm base, of course. Watch out for his charge!
Vaenhildr, Fellhrafn
Vaenhildr is a stunningly beautiful miniature and has been sculpted by Roberto Chaudon from the artwork by Danny Cruz. Hovering over an 80mm base, she's a perfectly realised sculpt of a raven and will prove to be an excellent mount for Birna, when that combination is released of course!
Back-Cracker, Goz-Horror
The awesome Back-Cracker - sculpted by Yannick Fusier from the artwork by Sam Lamont - is an utterly amazing miniature that gains more detail every time you look at it. It's so good it hurts! Soon to be the mount of Blunt-Claw (in a future release), Back-Cracker stands on a 100mm base.
Brazhag, Orc Warlord with Two Axes
Designed and sculpted by Gary Morley, Brazhag is a superb Orc of the old school variety - but no less awesome for all that. Those two axes might come a bit keen...
Malek, Black Ælf Lord on Dragon
Mounted atop a fantastic conversion of the Darklands dragon, Parawn, Malek is a stunning Black Ælf Lord sculpted by Gary Morley, a nasty and powerful dark elf who is well able to stick his lance where the sun don't shine. Don't annoy him!
All of the releases above were officially released on the 2nd of April 2016, and so you can order them right now.
Watch out for the May releases, which should be unveiled soon!
BaneBeasts Ho!
It's been far too long since we last released any new miniatures - thanks mainly to Christmas and just being incredibly busy - and so we thought we'd address that today with five BaneLegions releases from the BaneBeasts: Mighty Monsters Kickstarter project!
We have two new miniatures for the BaneLords sculpted by Gary Morley this month - Scoldemort, an evil warlock if ever there was one, and Harry, a rather stylish wizard. For the BaneBeasts, we've three mighty monsters, all converted by Tim Prow from the original Darklands miniatures - Scar-Claw, a Rat Fiend and spreader of general nastiness; Aangaak, a huge and terrifying Ox-Gore; and S'hcrhro'tum-b'hoss, a horrid Lord of Pus you'd rather avoid than confront!
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.
Scoldemort, Evil Warlock
Sculpted by Gary Morley, Scoldemort is indeed an evil warlock and a proud addition to the BaneLords range. There's no school like the old school!
Harry, Stylish Wizard
It's another Gary Morley miniature, is Harry. He's a wizard, of course, and a stylish one, a respector of mirrors and a rather vain fellow as a result. That doesn't mean his fireballs don't hurt...
Scar-Claw, Rat-Fiend
Converted from the superb Scar-Scath - one of our very first miniatures! - Scar-Claw is a cracking Rat Demon Fiend Thing, who will of course serve as another Vermin-Fiend should you need another one for your Darklands Vras host...
S'hcrhro'tum-b'hoss, Lord of Pus
Try saying that with your mouth full... well, Scrotey here (which is what we call him, among other things) is a huge and nasty Plague Demon, a Lord of Pus and Flies and Boils and other horrible things that don't bear too much thinking about. Step out of his way and let him through, unless you want the plague!
Aangaakk, Ox-Gore of the Darkwald
That's more like it, said Darklands. Here's Aangaakk - a massive, powerful creature of hoof and horn that will, eventually, run you down no matter how fast your legs can carry you. Scott Lines, here being picked up by Aangaakk a few seconds before being eaten, can attest to that...
All of the releases above were officially released on the 5th of March 2016, and so you can order them right now.
Watch out for the April releases, which should be unveiled soon!
