Mierce Darklands September 2016 releases

[Zedmeister]

New Shop and Trade releases and some painted examples

Of Kroks and Men

After a break of a month it's time for some new releases from us here at Mierce Miniatures, and it's all Darklands - nine Darklands releases in fact, and all for you and your hosts. There's two new miniatures for the Albainn - Dúngal on foot and on pony and Ettu the Goghu; a new one for the Byzantii - Equitus Durio on foot and on horse; something for the Fomoraic - Skaadi the Moraine-Sorcerer; and five for the Khthones, all of which are Krokodar related... the unit itself containing five man-crocodiles (called the Slaughterers) and the four as yet unreleased Krokodar!

Sadly, we've not been able to get them painted in time for release (except for Skaadi, 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.

Skaadi, Moraine-Sorcerer



A beautiful realisation of an ice-sorcerer by Gauthier Giroud, Skaadi is a wonderful sculpt and a fantastic addition to your Fomoraic host - for she can raise ice beasts to fight for you!

Dúngal, Mormaer of Dun Durn on Foot and on Pony



It's been a while since we've released any foot and mounted nobles, so here's Dúngal of the Albainn on both foot and on pony. Saving a few quid from the price of purchasing both separately, he's your perfect general for your Albainn host! Sculpted by Olivier Nkweti from the artwork by Sam Lamont.

Ettu, Revered Goghu



Sculpted by Olivier Bouchet from the artwork by Sam Lamont, Ettu is a mighty Goghu - a rock-beast of sorcery and belief revered by the Albainn and especially the Oghur and the Oghurithne. Standing on an 80mm base, he's a massive brute well able to smash apart battle-lines and also well able to deflect sorcerous attacks!

Equitus Durio, Centurion on Foot and on Horse



Another foot and mounted release - saving you a few pounds from purchasing them separately - comes this month for the Byzantii, and it's Equitus Durio who gets to walk and ride. Sculpted by Yannick Hennebo from the artwork by Stef Kopinski, Equitus is the perfect general for a Byzantii host and the mounted version comes with spatha (sword) and kontus (lance) options for him.

Slaughterers, Krokodar Unit



With the release of the Slaughterers - sculpted by Benoît Cosse from the superb artwork by Christophe Madura - the Khthones now have a unit of heavy monstrouos infantry to batter their enemies with. Armed with a mighty club and sporting a bite and some natural heavily armoured skin, the Slaughterers are led by the unit's champion, Megálávra, and contains a banner bearer, Vókkinak and three warriors - Okkáv, Brudok and Maskó. Megálávra and Vókkinak have been released for a long time, of course - but now they've finally got some mates!

Kinakk, Krokodar Warrior



Kinakk is the warrior variant of the banner bearer from the Slaughterers, Vókkinak. Again sculpted by Benoît Cosse from the artwork by Christophe Madura, Kinakk is ideal for replacing Vókkinak if you don't want a banner bearer in your Krokodar unit!

All of the releases above were officially released on the 2nd of July 2016, and so you can order them right now.

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

As mentioned, as well as the new release, Mierce have posted new painted photos of models:

Also, the Gabrax get the treatment:

They've also put a few metal release up on the shop. Looks like they're very close to getting the starter sets ready for launch.
