Mierce Miniatures

zedmeister

They don't like it up 'em!

zedmeister

Lovely work so far.

Also, isn't she a she?

zedmeister

A tweak and an update...

zedmeister

Won't be able to make this year

zedmeister

Cool. Do you reckon it's feasible enough for us to get photos of our starting force uploaded sometime this weekend so that we have our "Before" shots?

Also, how do you want to run it - a single progress thread for all of us?

zedmeister

I'll be going in with:

Untain of Baalor - 131
Tain of Baalor - 79 + skull bearer 26
Draackox - 295

Total - 531

Not totally legal, but gets me painting my first monstrous beast!

Good point, removed.

This could be an opportunity to share hints and ideas as well as practice. Don't be put off painting them. I'm the world's slowest painter, but I'm still giving this a crack. Join us!

zedmeister

Right, it's high time we start one of these threads. It's a good way to both promote Darklands as well as help get our growing piles of resin painted. It's also a good motivator in that it helps spur us on to get nicely painted forces. So I propose a tale of x gamers 2013 challenge. The challenge is...

zedmeister

Massive update done! Includes loads of comments spotted during KS2 such as hints, rumours and speculations

Thanks to Ryan who kept a running list

zedmeister

Another thing that they could do for KS3 is to showcase the stages of development of one model from the previous Kickstarter. One thing people complain about is KS pre-orders. This is something that Mierce just don't do. Watching the progress through updates and comments is very engaging as well as ...

zedmeister

My thoughts? Bad timing. Definitely bad timing - As Orlando says, lots of competing KS with 2 companies (Bones and MA) sucking up lots of the casual backers. Also the shorter period hamstrung me somewhat. The KS starts after my payday and ends before my next one making it very difficult to have fun...

zedmeister

Yay more terrain updates! Nice

Also, why is it always the sliced thumb image the loads up first. Ouch!

zedmeister

Thanks for your kind words gents. I'm pleased with how Maagaan came out so now I'm going to attempt the next lot. Yep, more Fomoraic. This time Tundaar and Kraan himself are up before the paintbrushes: http://zedmeister.co.uk/resimg/Fomoraic-WIP1.jpg I'll try to keep more of a log this time. Let's s...

zedmeister

Really impressive. I like your take on the Dyndraig, you've really brought them to life - care to expand on the colours you used?

Also, as said, your Ax-Drunes are fantastic.

zedmeister

Lovely piece of work. Definitely need higher res images!

zedmeister

And more added to the list... You need to keep a sharp eye on the comments list, lest something slips by unnoticed

zedmeister

I'll go lower at £22,500 as it seems £25K has been taken! Hope it'll go higher...

zedmeister

KR for me personally. Cheap and durable. But it's all down to personal preference really

zedmeister

Fantastic stuff Andy. Lovely trolls. Now that I've finished Maagaan, I need get more of my Fomoraic done. I've got Tundaar and Kraan (both versions) on my assembly board - need to glue fill and spray now!

zedmeister

Alright, I'm sure I'm not the only one excited by the the upcoming Kickstarter. So I thought I'd assemble this post to help in promoting and sharing ideas: What we know (bear in mind that these are fluid): Current start date esitmate is the 16th September Different format to the first one Focus on g...

zedmeister

So, I've been playing with the muster rules and come up with this fun little 750g raid: - Tain of Baalor 79g + Shield 6g + Ipracx 51g - Dainoch 255 - Warlock of Baalor 91g - Moraine Beast 260g Should be a fun scary force with 2 big beasties for such a small amount of gold. I like the idea of the Tai...

zedmeister

And now complete. I've submitted him to the Darklands 2013 contest on WAMP. My little attempt to raise the profile of Darklands. http://zedmeister.co.uk/resimg/Maagaan1.jpg Took your advice Andy - I re-did the black into a very deep ocean green/blue. Seemed to suit the Fomoraic as lords of the sea. ...

zedmeister

My submission's in - Maagaan. Though, always the way, you spot little mistakes now that the photo is uploaded!

zedmeister

Daaammmmnnn. Already shaping up nicely.

This gonna be good

zedmeister

Nice. Thor-Hammer trolls will look mean! Bases are mighty fine as well

zedmeister

So, one of my problems is painting Fur. I can't seem to get it looking right. It always looks dirty and messy. Does anyone have any tips or tutorials any painting fur? Anything from Creoda's fine fur through Maagaan's cloak all the way up to Beowa's heavy pelt.

zedmeister

Hammertime!

Too early? I'll get my coat...

zedmeister

Fantastic. Base turned out really well and all. I can almost smell the salty air!

zedmeister

Another big load of info revealed. This time mostly for Angelcynn (including weredeers!) - first post updated.

zedmeister

To be fair, it is off black. Camera hasn't picked it up (dodgy iphone camera). With the cloak and Baalor's eye, it should break it up nicely.

zedmeister

It's lost in the very poor Kickstarter comments system, so it'd be very hard to find. Also check out the other threads by Grefven and myself on planned sculptors and future mini rumours. Some more titbits in those threads...

zedmeister

Welcome! Below is part of a post I used through the kickstarter. It contains pretty much most of what we know What we know of the game. - Check the Gameplay video! https://vimeo.com/59008628 - Is a skirmish game - Individual alternate unit activation, instead of a UGOIGO system – similar to Epic: Ar...

zedmeister

Finally. I've had Maagaan on my painting desk for over a year, just haven't tackled him much. Over the last few days, I've made a new start. Finished his left leg as tester and now started on the rest. My current progress: http://zedmeister.co.uk/resimg/maagaan-wip1.jpg http://zedmeister.co.uk/resim...

zedmeister

Impressive, looking forward to see how you'll paint this...

zedmeister

First part of my order has arrived! Now time to happily pour through this lot...

zedmeister

Nope. Occasionally Rob or Tim edits my post to tease us or correct my wild interpretations!

zedmeister

Well, I just noticed "Holumenn" added to my list - a quick Google turns that phrase up...

zedmeister

Slight update (discovered a reference to Chain Drunes - sounds nasty!)

zedmeister

Nice haul! Mine won't be here until the next round of postings

zedmeister

Oooo, you bugger! Knife slipped?

zedmeister

After seeing AndyS's models, striped trousers included, as well as the Salute 2013 first place model, I thought it'd be good to get some sort of inspiration gallery going. Show us your finds as well as your own models (though I haven't finished painting mine yet - shame on me :oops: ). Salute 2013 1...

zedmeister

This is really inspiring me to start making my own boards. Any chance you could go through a bit more detail on how you sealed and strengthened the outside edges of the boards.

Next payday, I think I'll be order some of these: http://www.antenocitisworkshop.com/600x ... -tile.html

zedmeister

Wow, I thought I had a big order.. Seems rather meager compared to some here Here's what I got coming Norse starter Blood maw Khthones starter Sthena Brythoniaid starter Glaun Hywel hir Aradae mawr Angrislaug Don't make fun of my small order :P Small? Hardly, unless you consider nearly £400 of resi...

zedmeister

Best thing to do is google kermorannac and switch to image view. You'll know it when you see

zedmeister

Directed at MM, but not specifically, I'm interested in what a typical Quickstarter force would comprise of?

By my reckoning, a typical force could look like this:

- 1 Warlord
- 1 Warlock
- 1 Standard
- 1-2 units of infantry (or 0-1 units of monstrous infantry)
- 0-1 Monstrous beast

Thoughts?

zedmeister

One thing I tend to use cleaning the miniatures is my sonic cleaner. Lukewarm water with lots of washing up liquid, put them in for a five minute cycle, remove and gently scrub. Works a treat. One question I do have though is, how do you gents remove the awkward angled gates. You know the type, they...

zedmeister

Stunning bud. Really good to see these develop.

On paints, try modelsforsale.com. They usually have most of the air range in stock and they tend to have the range colour charts in stock which they'll let you have for free when you place an order for paints

zedmeister

First post updated with some more teases spotted in the wild

How's the stick mound now?

zedmeister

I think I see them. If I'm right, gimmie!
