So I have been on the Darklands pain train since savage hordes 2 when a friend of mine showed me the Kickstarter, after that ive been on pretty much every kickstarter for mierce stuff since.
I started out with byzantii and infernii, but I am now getting to the point where I want to branch out, but I am a bit stuck and am looking for some advice on what to do.
The other kindreds that I am interested in are Vras (which has a limited range) and non-Mierce Anglecynn, which, once again if you don’t like wolves right now you don’t have a lot of choices, but in time there are deer, boar and bear to look forward to.
So at this stage I really don’t know what to do with my purchases. I have about 70 quid left in my moneyback from the last kickstarter, my Vras collection consists of a Vras lord on a goz horror and 2 vermin fiends, my Mierce is a big bear and some proxy duguth (sshhhhh, don’t look Rob.
Between what I own and what I got coming I have about 8K points of Byzantii/Infernii.
Do I buy more byzantii/infernii?
Do I concentrate on one of the other 2?
Do I wait until the ranges are expanded?

Re: The dilemmas of starting another kindred
You could always get some Spear-Vras to atleast get some mainstay units for the Vras
Re: The dilemmas of starting another kindred
Is there any part of the ysian range that appeals to you to ally into a vras force (or visa versa)?

Hello demyse
I think a lot of Darklands enthousiast have the same problem that you encounter. There are so many great Darklands miniatures, it is hard to choose a kindred and stick to it. I myself collect Anglecynn, Fomoraic, Khthones and Norse. I started around the same time as you (SH II) and have been supporting every kickstarter ever since.
I am now branching out my kindreds. I like the fact that I collect multiple kindreds because it gives me a lot of different playstyles to explore the game. I play Darklands on a weekly basis and having multiple factions keeps de game 'fresh' for me.
So what I advise would be:
1) Collect more non-wolves Anglecynn (the human characters, duguth, gesith,...). The duguth are great, you don't need proxies
2) Like Rick said, get the Spear Vras to branch out your Vras. HughB's advice to add some Ysian allies is great too.
Good luck!

Re: The dilemmas of starting another kindred
Ok guys thanks for the replies, I will try to answer them as best I can.
The message I seem to be getting from you guys is that ive got enough Byzantii/Infernii to keep me going, so Im probably going to put them on hold for a while.
the Ysians don't really do it for me, so going to give them a miss
I like the idea of spear vras, but I don't think the metal ones are out for a while (October?). my plan is probably wait until a Vras starter host comes out and probably get 2 of them. I am guessing its going to be something like 15 Spear Vras, 5 war vras and a warchief.
For the Anglecynn I have bulked out my proxies a bit, so I think ive got about a 999 force for them to use for a while.
