Giants & More Mighty Monsters From Mierce Miniatures
March 20, 2015 by brennon
Mierce Miniatures have put together another awesome haul of interesting monsters and heroes for their world of Darklands. See what you think of the Giant Gomagg and a few beasts dwarfed by him!
First up we have Gomagg himself who is absolutely huge and comes on a 120mm base to fit his frame. As a comparison he is about a head and shoulders bigger than their demon model and a regular man comes up to around the bottom of his knee. So yeah - pretty huge!
Following on from him we have some lesser warbeasts that are still huge on the tabletop. From top to bottom we have Malmord, Praach and Tykho. I think of the three of them Malmord would have to be my favourite as I do like Trolls. The other two are neat enoughbut I just don't really like the sculpts, especially in the case of Tykho - but that's just personal preference.
A Gorgorar unit also makes an appearance to make sure there are enough snake people involved in the proceedings. The Dawn of Khthon are a group of interesting snake women and it could be interesting to see you paint them up with different snake patterns to give them all a bit of individuality on the tabletop.
A pair of riders also stampeded onto the battlefield in the form of Eadric and Crom of Carn Wrach. Eadric is my favourite here simply by virtue of 'less is more'. I think they've got the look of a dark age King just right and with enough small fantasy exaggerations to make him stand out as something different. Crom is cool but just not my cup of tea.
Last but not least are the on foot heroes in the shape of Caedoc and Danilo. Once again I think the less is more approach works better here and Caedoc, while being less animated, looks much better in my books than Danilo. The problem I have with Danilo is that he looks a bit goofy and I think he would have looked better if he had his swords raised in a cross-slashing motion rather than this strange 'en garde' look.
Overall quite the haul from Mierce Miniatures!

Could some of these find a use in Conan? 🙂
Those are very impressive.
Brilliant sculpts yet again….I’m really impressed with their miniatures the resin is excellent quality and the parts are so easy to fit together….I’ve got a small collection of their Angelcynn(Werewolf ) kindred as I’m just starting playing Darklands with a friend will definitely pick up some more can’t recommend them enough plus their really nice guys and are more than happy to pick up the phone and talk to you…excellent customer service plus check out their Mighty monsters kickstarter as the models are great for Warhammer/KOW etc.
Love it all… except the rocking horses.
I need one of those Malmord figures. I have no idea what I’d use it for. Just because.
Actually, the horses remind me of those awful GW wild elf stags released last year. Same sculptor perhaps?… let the games begin 🙂 .
They are truly awful :p like very stiff belgian blue horses .. unfortunatly, cause the beasts look cool
I’ve got quite a few of the Ysian characters coming from the KS to use in Conan/Dungeon Saga, love their aesthetic.
Cool looking beasts for sure
