New Dark Age Faction Starter Boxes Coming Soon!
October 8, 2016 by brennon
Dark Age will be welcoming some new Starter Boxes for a few of their factions soon. Let's take a look at some of them they've already previewed...
We'll start things off with the Kukulkani who are one of our favourite factions from the world of Dark Age. The mix of the Aztec and Mayan influence with Sci-Fi makes for some amazing models.
Inside this set you're going to get 1x Supreme War Captain, 3x Kukulkani Warriors, 2x Harvesters, 1x Honor Guard, and 1x Ah’Chu’Kuk.
Following on from them we look to the Forsaken who have also got quite the boost over the last couple of months.
In here you get 1x Warwind, 1x Deacon, 1x Coil Diskmaster, 1x Field Medic, 3x Banes, and 1x Bane Leader. It's neat to see more of the human models for Dark Age come back to the fore with a new look which shows off lots more detail and an evolution of their sculpting skill and know-how.
Thirdly we're moving to the Outcast Scavengers who start to look a bit more Pulpy and Punky!
Here you're going to get yourself 1x Warchief, 1x Fixer, 1x Manhunter, 3x Wasteland Warriors, and 1x Blades. One of the things that the Scavengers have is plenty of motion and movement giving them a dynamic look on the tabletop.
Finally, we come to the Dragyri and their Shadow Caste which we took a look at during Gen Con. An amazing new section of this already rich faction.
Inside here you're going to be getting all new models which is very exciting including 1x Death’s Device of Shadow, 1x Keeper, 1x Raaf, 1x Vespa, and 3x Lesser Spiderlings.
The outlook for those of you wondering when these will hit is that you should see them on the webstore around October 14th. So, not long to wait for this bunch of Samarians!

That’s good to hear, as the existing stuff seems to be drying up – in Britain at least. I struggled to get some basic Brood and was hoping something like this was coming along.
There are distribution issues in the UK at the moment for both Dark Age and Wrath of Kings, as in right now I don’t think there is one.
*there is any
That would make sense. Wayland have a few bits and bobs, as does Well Known Auction Site (prices from ok to ludicrous), not a lot else.
Lucky I’ve *cough* one or two projects to keep me busy until they sort things out.
Dammit. Bloody good idea which makes it harder for me not to get into this game. 😛
They are making some good looking mines at Dark age, it is very hard to resits not to ..buy
I’m glad they have updated some of the boxes with fresher, better minis. Also it’s nice to see them move away from the dominatrix theme that was so evident when it first came out. You might be able to still buy them models but at least it’s more an option than be front and center as it seemed from the starter boxes.
Those look like good starter boxes.
These look good, I’m really hoping for some new outcasts from the base faction. The fact that the starter box is core models is promising.
Sadly while I love outcasts but don’t like the Nomads or slavers and the fact they now dominate the faction saddens me.
some nice figures in the boxes.
Nice sets. Shame this game is dead in Eastern Europe :/
Looking good! Still waiting on my KKK starter… possibly for all eternity. Wouldn’t mind them switching it for the new starter at no extra cost though 😀
A very unexpected move. And I applaud it. Only, now that I decided to wait for the prophesized Brood 2017 and took a serious interest in the amazing Fire Caste, I now might run out of reasons against picking up Kukulkani. And the Shadow Caste, too…
