What kind of blue armour are you trying to achieve? Matallic blue? Blue painted? Chipped paint?

Ophios. One of the coolest Darklands miniatures. :) As you wish ;) Today I have a lot of new pictures for you. Some are for final presentation, some are rather teasers for upcoming articles. Have a look and tell me what you think. :mrgreen: First up, as requested by grefven: Ophios, Gorgon of Khtho...

Gorgeous model and a good start. Looking forward to seeing this develop.

Wth the newly released units and the expansion of my Ysian host, I've encountered some new questions. *yay* 1. Shouldn't Euryalia be fearsome/terrifying? I for one wouldn't like to meet her at night... or would I? :mrgreen: 2. Currently Euryalia makes a single unit of Sword-Melusines a mainstay unit...

Hey Rob, great stuff and some interesting and understandable insights. I don't want to stress this too far, but I'd like to explain myself on some of the points raised. Well, it [Trident on Hydrach(on)] is cheaper, and that greater attack range will come into its own in the full rules (thanks to Ref...

deadlydeceiver

Apologies for not answering this sooner... I am very busy! No worries I know that and am very thankful that you take the time to answer rule questions. Well, basically everything is clear for now. Looking forward to the "fleshed out" realms ;) BTW: While skimming through the muster, I won...

Darklands Battle Report 01 As I’ve mentioned on the KS comments recently I've begun playing Darklands. So today I’m going to report my latest game to you, which is something I’ve never done before so please feel free to comment on how I could improve the reports. The game was fought with my miniatu...

I think what the rule is saying is that if your army takes any units from Liskar, at least one has to go in the Liskarchon's command. If you don't take any Liskar units, the rule has no effect. Yes, he could be taken on his own, and he could have Gorgonares/Hydrares in his command. Hey RM, thanks f...

Really, really nice work! The Angelcynn look great as a host.

I'd really love to know how you did Malacants horns... those are stunning!

Firstly: Thanks again for dealing with my issues... again :? Basically, it's worded incorrectly and thus each commander now has this kind of thing applied: Lord of the Lískares: If a Lískarchon is mustered as the host's general, Lískares become Mainstay units and, if a Lískar Unit is taken in his ho...

deadlydeceiver

:lol: So on another Khthones relevant topic: Mustering different realms! As a commander must include at last one unit from his realm in his command that means that currently I can't field a Liskarch/-on without fielding the Vasilisk. Correct or is there any option to field him on his own? If I under...

I vote for Petroyos :lol: Next vote will be: Ophios, Torku, Belech or Kaairioc-Kro? Some of you might have already seen him on the KS-comments a while ago. Here's the article: http://sendtheeighth.blogspot.de/2014/07/darklands-khthones-liska-petroyos-by.html https://www.dropbox.com/s/zay45nfgsss13lj...

In this thread I would like to address a special topic, that I've been thinking about for a while already and now that I get more games done feel encouraged to bring up. Basically I feel there're quite obviously poor choices when it come to weapons on certain models. So the point of this thread is e...

deadlydeceiver

I don't really want to give too much away, but it will be similar to Space Hulk in that each unit will have "action points" (which we call Stamina), and depending on the action, Stamina points will be used. Almost everything will have the same Stamina to use per hour, at least in initial ...

deadlydeceiver

Sorry double post

deadlydeceiver

Looking back at my answer, it appears that you've found a little loophole Woo, another not-so stupid question! Seems like I've got a run :lol: If you choose to perform a Hold and Brace Charge reaction , which is voluntary, you perform a Brace action and so (technically) you've activated already. Th...

@ Andy: Thanks! I'm sure your hydra will be one sight to be seen. @ Aniku: Haha, glad you like Mazikilias, I'm still unsure why he turned out so great. Actually his skin uses less coats and easier techniques than Ygandr. So he was easier to paint ^^ You're of course right about the lines (damn shoul...

Your wish is my command, Andy! :lol:

So here he is, one of my favorites, the big and bad Ygandr: http://sendtheeighth.blogspot.de/2014/0 ... dr_21.html

Alright, I feel a bit stupid for the recent 4 threads in this forum are from me :lol: I need a quick affirmative answer on "hold and brace". It stated that after "holding and bracing" I may only attack in the following activation. Following you answer from above that would mean t...

Heyho, I thought I might write a short summary of my last game here, maybe it's of interest for someone. The game itself was great, great fun. We played 1200 Gold Ysians against Khthones (played by me of course) and allowed for shooting units this time, so I took my 2 basilisks with me and my newly ...

deadlydeceiver

It's actually muster 1.5 now, but the rule is the same, so I guess the question is alright in this place: When I roll for the petrification damage of either Liskar/Vasilisk, does a 9 allow for a further die to be rolled? As I'm not rolling wound dice (what is nice for getting round wound- modifiers)...

deadlydeceiver

Heyho,

It seems like the action matrix allows recovering after walking, and no further actions and thus seems to contradict the Recover Action-paragraph which allows walking, running etc. before and after the recover action). Which one is correct?

Heyho, just stumbled across the profile of Belech/Scion of Baalor. The Ice Blade has two profiles and states "Switch hands: Fist Punch" which is not in the profile. Is he missing the punch or is it a wrong reference? Honestly I feel like the whole singled-handed profile would only make sen...

Hey everyone, during my first games I felt a bit slowed down by all this scrolling and turning pages, so I've prepared 2 pages with the most used references and charts to speed everything up. With Robs permission I'm now sharing my work with you: Strike/shoot chart, parry/evade/avoid chart, musterin...

deadlydeceiver

Thanks a lot! Your way of taking on the questions one at a time and including my quotes really makes it easy to follow and very clear. You're absolutely right in saying thatit's all absolutely clear in the rules and basically if you follow the "Can, Cannot-Rule" from the beginning ("B...

Every once in a while I keep getting back to this thread, scroll through the pics and am thinking: "...just... HOW?"
Incredibly awesome art on this gallery. Sorn your collection in breathtaking, especially the Terror and the Malacants

Thanks a lot guys, glad you like him. I wasn't to hot for him when he came out of the bag, looked rather blunt, but now I really like him. I was surprised myself how nice the head had turned out... especially the tongue :lol:

Would you like to see Ygandr or Pertoyos next?

Hey Rob, sorry to bother you again. I'm still a bit puzzled on the topic of "moving to engage". The QS rules state that the champion of the unit must see the enemy before they begin their move. In the video Carrowek/Battle-Drune couldn't see the Mallox, but Tim states he does an "Atta...

Hey, just a short question concerning the Brace Action: Assuming my bracing or "holding and bracing" unit is charged and attacked, thus making my parries easy ones. If now my activation follows may I choose to "unbrace" and attack, effectively attacking without difficult strikes?...

Hey, thanks a lot for the comments. Glad that you enjoy the miniatures. @ Tim: Ha! Never thought about it, but yes haven't seen those two before either (or Ssibyros neither).

Thanks a lot for the kind words. (also for those on the KS comments)

Next up: Some snakes!

So, as mentioned earlier I got Uuthüll currently on the table. He and Kraan as Untain are already finished, but the bases use a special water effect that needs to dry for AGES ^^ Funnily the Khthones which acually caused my awe for Mierce and thus are my biggest host are still untouched. But I final...

Khthones My main force for Darklands will be these awesome snake-men. My concept for them was to contrast their savage look with nice and noble armour. The first part of the host is just from the Gorgon realm: Ssibyros, 5 Gorgonares and Chysperis https://www.dropbox.com/s/9x5m5eefjk0pqzs/Khthones_0...

deadlydeceiver

Here come the Fomoraic The first batch is already including Uuthüll, who's probably my favorite Mierce miniature and made me read Lovecraft :lol: The water took ages to do (as it takes ages to dry) and sadly doesn't look as convincing as I had wished. Enough talk: The first 500 Gold host of Fomoraic...

Behold the might of Darklands' most fearsome kindred: The Infernii The demons are actually my latest host, but I hijacked this post, as the Anglecynn are no longer with me. The host consists of: Servile Lord of Dis, Servile Champion of Dis, 5 Craven Fiends of Dis, a Demiurion and a Magus Infernum, w...

Hey everyone, thought it couldn't hurt to show you my finished models. ;) It took me quite a long time 'til I dared to touch the Mierce models. My first order was with KS 1 and held Krull and Uuthüll (which is currently on my painting desk) beside a huge amount of Khthones. In the end the decision t...
