Dark Age Week: Faction Spotlight – The Forsaken
May 2, 2016 by dignity
It's time to delve deeper into the world of Dark Age and look at the first of the factions for this week, The Forsaken.
These warriors are going to try and bring religion to the world of Samaria or die trying!
Follow Dark Age Week
I think it would be hard to not follow these fanatics into battle!
Are these your choice of faction?

Been following Dark Age since the beginning.. Great minis.
Forsaken sculptures minis is improving. a good faction to have for the straight up melee
Sooooo… The Forsaken are a Church of Politicians who are twisting the truth to suit their needs – Are you sure this is Science Fiction? :p
Isaac, Saint of robots and killy death? Sign me up!!
Wow, that’s a lot of saints. I think St Joan was my favourite.
I may need to get some of the saint models just to paint up as they look amazing. I need to look into this more as that malfunction mechanic sounds fun (and fluffy)
Those saint minis look sweet.
Definitely liking the look of these, probably either Saint Luke or Saint Joan for me, not sure which however.
Love the cynical/pragmatic take on the usual religious zealot faction!
But I have to say, I’m really waiting for the Outcast and CORE videos… 🙂
A faction that uses religion to brainwash the masses. Oh wait they have big warmachines that look like angels you don’t really need brainwashing when you have science to back it up.
Great looking faction, I love the look of the saints, particularly the mounted models. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the factions 🙂
The game is interesting, just not sure on its accessibility here in the UK.
Is that in terms of playerbase, availability to buy, or both?
Hi Lug45,
Our distributor in the UK, EBS Hobbies, has a list of current stockists in the UK. Additionally, if you and your mates are interested in your local store stocking it, you can contact EBS Hobbies and they’ll get in touch with your store : )

Saint marry for the win . looking cool
I like each saint has a very different look and feel to them. The artwork alone is making me want to get started ☺️

Since they resculpted a large part of the faction, the Forsaken look completely stunning. Definitely one of the faction that interest me the most visually speaking.
Exploding angel suits…
😀
Like the sound of parts of these but not others… What else you got? 😉
Interesting faction. Not sure if it is the one I want to go for yet. We’ll see after I learn a bit more about the other factions.
love it! finally some attention this great game deserves
As someone who plays Cryx for Warmachine, I do like the sound of St. Luke’s followers as something entirely different. The idea of a really surgical, elite army will make a great contrast in playstyles. Can you fit one of the Archangels into a list led by him?
As an aside, the Archangels remind me of the Archons in XCOM2, which makes me like them even more.
Hi Bearerofwords
St. Luke is from one sub-faction and the Archangels are from another (the Prevailer Council) so unfortunately they cannot be taken in the same list – unless you and your friends want to mess around with the standard approach to list building. They can both, however, access the unaligned Forsaken troops (Coils, Banes, Strikes, Firestorms etc).
I want to see skald resculpt … with the same standard of the forsaken
I like these, especially the mounts.
never played but looks interesting
I love the look of all the minis, especially Orchid and Nathaniel.
This faction sounds and looks really fun
