As it's early May, the June releases are here! Four of them come from our Darklands: A World of War Kickstarter project, which is now almost complete as only the Wælwulfas (for the Angelcynn) are left to release; and this month sees the start of our 'foot and mounted' combinations, which allow you to purchase both forms of a particular commander or general at a discount, which is always nice.
This month, then, we have Penda the Bloody-Handed on Foot and on Horse for the Angelcynn; a Fomoraic Warchief, Aalvór, who is a Mallax Tain; Jowan and Hounds of Carn Dhu for the Ysians, comprising Jowan the Hound-Master and three Drune-Hounds; the Hounds of Carn Dhu release, containing five random Drune-Hounds for the Ysians, and finally, again for the Ysians, Druc the mighty Meat-Hulk!{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.

The first of our 'foot and mounted' combinations, you can now purchase the frankly awesome Warrior-King of Mierce, Penda the Bloody-Handed, in both forms at a discount - you'll save £5.00 from the cost of purchasing them both individually! Sculpted by Jacques-Alexandre Gillois from concept art by Stefan Kopinski, Penda really is a superb miniature, especially when painted by a master like Sébastien Picque.

From a concept by Danny Cruz, Benoît Cosse has sculpted our first Mallax or sloth-man for the Fomoraic in the hairy shape of Aalvór, a Warchief. The Mallax, being sloth-men, are fairly slow but their defensive qualities more than make up for that, for they are rarely fazed by any occurrence upon the battlefield and are used by the Fíorfomor to guard and garrison where mere humans will not do. Aalvór stands on a 60mm base, is around 50mm tall to the eye and is a Warchief.

With Jowan and the Drune-Hounds available separately, it's time to combine them into one easy package - and at a discount, too, for purchasing Jowan and the three Drune-Hounds together will save you around £7 from their individual price! Masterfully sculpted by Stéphane Simon from a concept by Danny Cruz, these guys stand on 30mm bases and are well able to take the fight to the enemy quickly.

Drune-Hounds can, of course, be taken in units on their own without a Hound-Master, although they are Feral as a result. Even so, such beasts can be extremely useful for any Ysian general, for whilst they are killed fairly easily they are cheap and can hit hard! As well as that, by purchasing this unit you can save £10 from purchasing them individually.

The mighty Meat-Hulk known as Druc, mutated and grown to huge proportions by the insane Flesh-Smiths of Ys, is an awesome presence on the battlefield - and now you can include his 'miniature' in your Ysian armies too! Sculpted by Stéphane NGuyen van Gioi from artwork by Danny Cruz, Druc stands on a 100mm base and is around 120mm tall to the top of his fingers.
All of the releases above will be officially released on the 7th of June 2014, but you can pre-order them now from this very website to your heart's content!
There'll be more releases next month!
