It's time to unveil May's Mierce Miniatures releases, five of them, all of which hail from our Darklands: A World of War Kickstarter project, which is now almost complete. Don't despair, however, for we're currently running another fantastic project, Darklands: First Edition II - head on over and pledge your heart out!
Back to the releases. This month we bring you a warlord to command your host (Belech), two mounted warchiefs to help that host be commanded (Leofwen on Great Hart, Kernuor on Karnun-Beast) and two mighty monstrous beasts (Maallolvór and Chysperis) to wreak havoc upon the enemy. It's another great month of releases from us!{split}
Just like the last few months, 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.

Leofwen is the first representation of the Déora, those deer-warriors from the north, Déra, and now exiled thanks to the Christian lash of Northumbraland. Some scratch a living in pagan Angle-land and some seek retribution against their persecutors, and Leofwen is more than happy to take the fight back to the Christians. But never mind all that: Leofwen is a beautiful miniature, sculpted by Stéphane Simon from a concept by Stefan Kopinski, and she brings an added dimension to your Angelcynn host for she is, of course, a host banner bearer.

A superb sculpt by Roberto Chaudon (from art by Danny Cruz) that captures all the character of the sea devil within, Belech is a fantastic warlord for the Fomoraic and one of the Fíorfomor or True Fomorians, a descendant of Baalor himself. Equally adept at the magic arts as he is throwing a great big ice sword around, Belech is greatly useful to the Fomoraic player for he can ensure all of the myriad monstrosities of Baalor works together for the greater good of the Eye in the Ice.

The hairy beasts of Baalor are joined this month by another hairy beast, the mighty Maallolvór, a mutated giant sloth-creature (a Mallox) with razor-sharp claws and a bad attitude. Sculpted by Benoît Cosse from a concept by Stefan Kopinski, Maallolvór really does come keen on the battlefield!
Maallolvór stands on a 100mm base and is around 90mm to the top of his right paw.

The Gorgones get themselves a huge monstrous beast this month in the somewhat scaly shape of Chysperis (pronounced 'KISS-per-iss'), and we really do mean hugely monstrous - he totally fills that 120mm base and, to the tip of his tail, he's 162mm tail. That is a big snake!
Chysperis has been masterfully sculpted by Roberto Chaudon from a concept by Danny Cruz.

Sculpted by James van Schaik from a concept by Danny Cruz, Kernuor the Seer-Drune now has a mount to ride, a Karnun-Beast to be exact, a mutated creature of Ker-Ys and a useful servant for any sorcerer who risks getting too close to the enemy. Mutated he may be, but the Karnun-Beast is not slow!
All of the releases above will be officially released on the 3rd of May 2014, but you can pre-order them now from this very website to your heart's content!

We have three new sizes of base for you all this month, 40mm, 50mm and 80mm. This means we have a wide range of bases sizes to ensure our miniatures work better on the battlefield!
Remember, too, that certain miniatures' base sizes have now been altered thanks to the new bases' availability. If you have miniatures with these bases and want the new sizes, firstly bear in mind you can still use those miniatures on the old bases in Darklands, and secondly, there's no need to purchase them - just drop us a line and we'll send you what you need.
These miniatures' base sizes have been changed:
Ckaarakk, Tarvax Untain - 50mm
Tarvax Warrior - 50mm
Beowa (bear form) - 50mm
Urbad - 50mm
Creoda, Guthwulf - 80mm
There'll be more releases next month!
