The Machines of the CORE Enter Dark Age
March 28, 2012 by dracs
Some changes have been made to the Dark Age site with the addition of the CORE faction page for the upcoming new faction.
Pretty soon we will be able to cause some mechanical mayhem. We've already had a quick peak at some of the minis for this new faction, but now we can see some of Dark Age's great concept art.
Even more excitingly we finally have a bit of background info to tell exactly what the CORE are.
"Abandoned for centuries, these industrial machines have achieved sentience in the darkness and are now venturing onto the wastelands. Enigmatic, adaptive, and sometimes malevolent, what can only be described as a new species is tentatively stretching its wings. Pathfinders, Menial Bots and the Rend have emerged to study the other remnants of Samaria; a curiosity often fatal for the subjects!" - Dark Age Games
The addition of the CORE really brings home just how dangerous the world of Dark Age really is, and provides a nice thematic counterbalance to the Brood faction.
Who thinks the might start collecting this faction? What sort of things do you expect to see in it?

Me always loves walkers…
Dark Age goes Skynet…that’s a vicious combination. The minis really do look like the artwork as well. I definitely want to see a big spiderbot, not to mention GIANT LAZORS since this is a mechanical faction…of course for balance’s sake they need to have a high chance of malfunctioning.
Basically I want X-ATM-092 from Final Fantasy 8:

I’m still waiting for a wargame that let’s you pit skinny emo teenagers against a professional army like in FF.
Ah.. the good old days… why dont I remember the music being so bad?
Not bad. Not bad at all, robots are the “other” thing I like (other than eldritch abominations) so this may tempt me into Dark Age. I wonder if I was the only one that thought of the old late 90’s RTS Total Annihilation when with the headtitle of “Machines of the CORE”, dammit wheres the ARM? XD
Those are impressive. I love those designs.
We should try to breed the CORE Pathfinder with a Therian Golgoth to create a new race of walker robots.
Errm, guys? Sorry to be a pedant: peek – to look, not peak (top of).
And they look gorgeous. Where can I get the dark age rulebook from?
Go into the darkest corner of an abandoned building and in that dark corner you will find Dark Age. That’s how I came upon my copy.
I like the artwork lots, but am wondering how they will translate into models.
Some of those joints and details look great but rather fine. They could be tricky to build and a tad fragile.
On the other hand I could be completely wrong and the models will be as cool as the concepts.
See for yourself:

Thanks
Forgot about those pics – it’s my age
Done a good job of rendering them as casts imho
Leave it to Dark Age to take an arguably overused concept and make it look fresh and wicked. My wallet cries in advance.
