Mierce Miniatures Show Off Some Mighty Monsters
October 19, 2013 by brennon
Mierce Miniatures might have finished their Darklands: First Edition Kickstarter but they are still showing off some pretty awesome looking monsters and characters from their A World of War Kickstarter too.
First up we have this deadly creation Gamla Bror who looks pretty darn epic. These miniatures have been floating around the internet for a while but as I just stumbled on it today I had to show it off. I love the detail these guys get out of their figures.
As well as that massive troll we also have a look at Jowan and his Hound as they stalk across the battlefield. I like the work on the cloak and the massive horned helm. That axe would put an end to one of his foes too.
This is my favourite from their recent updates though. Next to Dwarfs and Vikings I do have a love of Giants and anything massive like this. Vakk is one hell of a piece and think about the amount of material that has to be used to construct one of these.
While their recent Kickstarter will be funding the game proper its fun to look at some of their monster projects. Oh and let's not forget this epic Dragon...
Now that is a Dragon worthy of legends. This line of miniatures, albeit with confusing names for most things, has been a real hit with folks and it's neat to once again be taking a look at it all.
Have you been bitten by the Mierce bug?

Thanks Brennon, these mini’s look awesome..
I would love to have Jowan as a Lord for my Tamurkhan Horde!
Thanks Brennon, these look awesome and I will be looking forward to the dragon and Vaak. I have to admit that it is quite difficult to chat to friends when you can’t remember/pronounce the models. 10/10 for awesome models though. I think I will call the Dragon Dave though just for ease. 🙂 hehe
Awesome miniatures and more importantly, awesome customer service.
I really do think it is the great personalities that they have there tbh. Just really hope Rob turns his hand to another gaming store tbh, although I have been informed that was long ago and water under the bridge I can always dream. 🙂
They are simply the best at getting the mini to match the concept and have a good enough relationship with their excellent sculptors to ask for changes where they feel it’s needed.
I can’t recommend them enough, and I cant wait to get my hands on he Dragon
The whole line is amazing. Not really affordable, or rather, justifiable in quantity, but amazing nonetheless. Having said that, some of the figure bundles are tempting. I’ll definitely be putting a few of these figures in my armies as heroes.
@cpauls1 While you’re right that some of the minis are expensive, you also have to take that in context. You need far fewer models to play than WHFB, which being a fantasy game will no doubt be the one it is most often compared to, so the price to start playing is lower, and in all likelihood, the overall cost of an army will be too. Then, just LOOK at the minis, every one an individual, all (currently) hand sculpted by some of the most talented artists working in the industry, and from personal experience I can tell you that… Read more »
I tend to buy based on looks and this is making my wallet open.
These are top quality models (miniatures seems a contradiction with most of these, they are huge) and their customer service is first rate.
Also, just so you know, Jowan will come with 3 hounds when he’s finished 🙂
Stunning miniatures and two brilliant Kickstarters. On time, on target and constant updates. It’s been a real pleasure being a part of them and the community that has built – it’s what a Kickstarter should really be all about.
For those who hanker after Confrontation, check out Darklands. They use a lot of ex-Rackham sculptors as well as new talent (Hector Moran of Kingdom Death fame for example), amazing sculpts and skirmish warfare. Add to that Dark Age gaming, North West Europe setting, engaging background and huge monsters and you can’t go wrong!
