New Releases and Sneak Peaks from Dark Age

So, LXG goes on holiday, and Mr. Black over at Dark Age goes on a wild rampage of sneak peaks and announcements.  There were a significant amount of new cards released, including some spells, and there are new models (yay!).  So without further ado, I will showcase the models and cards with some commentary.

A Journey into Dark Age: My First List

Ok, it's been a about a week and a half since I declared my intention to pursue the March to Immortality tournament invitation.  In that week and a half I have been deciding what army to run, and trying to come up with a list.  One of the hardest parts of deciding on an army is that I want to do them all.  I love models in all the ranges, and the stories of St. Mary and the Brood really appealed to me.  The Dragyri models are beautiful, and I love the imagery they are using for the Kukulkani.  But in the end I chose the Skarrd.  I chose the Skarrd for two reasons, there are models I like in the range, like the Blood Mistress, the Harpies, and the Sister of Charity.  My second reason has to be the story of how they became what they are.

An Introduction to Dark Ages

So, my blogmate Belgarath97 talked me into trying Dark Age. To be fair, it didn't take a lot of convincing

First of all, the model line for Dark Age is based on the work of Brom. For those of you who don't know, Brom has been a central figure in the art and illustration of RPGs for a couple of decades: D&D 2nd & 3rd, Deadlands, and many other projects. Somebody got the crazy Idea to build a storyline around his works, and set it in a post-apocalyptic setting- all in all, not a bad choice.
