Richard delves into Darklands
Posted: Tue Nov 20, 2018 10:10 am
Hello!
This is my first post, been lurking on the forums for a while and thought I'd finally join in, I've been an avid war gamer for nearly 20 years on and off, this time around I've been looking into other game systems and found Darklands, I love the miniatures and the rules are great based on the couple of test games that I've played.
I started my armies thinking i would convert miniatures that I had already into Darklands armies using miscast parts to fill any gaps in my bits boxes, however once the miscast pack arrived I realised that the level of detail and the quality of the models on offer would mean that most parts that I have would not fit with Mierce parts.
Therefore I revised my intentions and started to repair and build models that I had enough parts for from the miscast packs that I had purchased.
The first of these repairs was a Mægenwulf built from an assortment of bits:
I actually had enough parts to make three of these monsters! I only put one onto a base, the other two are in the same stance and are ready to stick on bases as and when needed!
The next was a Werwulf Thegn:
I know he is missing a cloak and his scabbard but I like how he looks without them, I imagine he has discarded anything that may encumber him in combat before charging into the front line!
Finally I also received (in a different pack) most of the new Dewindraig, so I present, Derwyn the the Unbroken, captured and tortured by the Ysians for years, losing part of himself to their butchery he finally escaped his prison, killing his captors in a welter of magical fury, only just sane and ready to be unleashed onto the foes of the Brythoniaid:
I'll post some more when I have more done! Next on the work station is a unit of Wælwulfs, a unit of Dyndraigs and a Gwyfern!
Thanks for looking!
